That was fun. Spending 200+ mill on Dwight was not smart.

BeerBaron · 10-11-2010, 11:16 PM

I forget exactly what I spent on Rudy Cool, but he was my most expensive at around 70 iirc.

That was fun. I never want to do a non-auction draft in any sport again. That rocked.

Bosanac01 · 10-11-2010, 11:29 PM

After that auction draft, I don't think I can ever come back to a normal draft.

I spent the first 10 picks or so just staring mesmerized at it. After I got into it, it was freaking awesome.

M.O.T.H. · 10-11-2010, 11:39 PM

The auction draft was fun...but I had to overspend on Westbrook, because of my connection problems. My starters arent bad, everything else? pretty meh.

Shiver · 10-11-2010, 11:42 PM

I'm doing pretty good with CP3, Iggy and Paul Milsap. I like my sleepers: Thaddeus Young, Linas Klezia, Ramon Sessions, Jamario Moon and Dorrell Wright. But man I suck at Center: Shaq, Aldric, Mozgov and Mohammad.

There's no such thing as overpaying for Westbrook. He is awesome.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much. I love auction drafts too. In fact I think you are a puss if you hate on them. There's so much more strategy and 10 times the fun!

It made my eyes hurt, but aside from that.. Hooray!

You must have been starring at Brodeur's team too long. Looking at that team can make anyone's eyes hurt!

WMD · 10-12-2010, 12:54 AM

Team WMD

PG - Jonny Flynn, Steve Blake, Will Bynum
SG - Terrence Williams, Mike Dunleavy, Kirk Hinrich
SF - LeBron James, Chase Budinger, Austin Daye
PF - Kevin Love, Luis Scola
C - Chris Kaman, Roy Hibbert, Darko Milicic

I like it. I didn't plan on going for LeBron. I got him on the only bid that I made for him. After that I decided to wait and pick up a few quality bigs.

Bosanac01 · 10-12-2010, 01:08 AM

Team Bos

PG - Raymond Felton, Jeff Teague
SG - John Salmons, Corey Brewer, Leandro Barbosa
SF - Rip Hamilton, Richard Jefferson, Marvin Williams, Ersan Ilyasova
PF - Yi Jianlian, Anderson Varejao, Charlie Villanueva
C - Dwight Howard, Yao Ming

Wish I'd gotten a better PG, and my PFs are a joke.

BeerBaron · 10-12-2010, 01:10 AM

Baron's Drunken Hicks:

PG - Aaron Brooks - DJ Augustin - Mario Chalmers
SG - Paul Pierce - Jamal Crawford - Jordan Crawford
SF - Rudy Cool - Corey Maggette
PF - Jeff Green - Michael Beasley - Jason Thompson
C - Joakim Noah - DeJuan Blair - Robin Lopez

Went really youthful with my depth...Not loving my depth at PG or C either. Went over what I wanted to pay for Noah since most of the other guys I liked at C were already gone.

Bosanac01 · 10-12-2010, 01:27 AM

you did a great job of getting a number of just solid players. Nice distribution.

KCJ58 · 10-12-2010, 02:02 AM

Team KCJ58

PG: Deron Williams - Mike Conley
SG: OJ MAYO - James Harden - DeMar DeRozan
SF: Lamar Odom - Wesley Johnson(R)
PF: Kevin Garnett - Derrick Favors(R)
C: Channing Fyre - Brendan Heywood

IR: C Mehmet Okur & PG/SG Rodrique Beaubois

I really wanted Westbrook and yes Bargnani...so I was willing to overspend. I just had to throw out an 80 something before my cpu disconnected, jumping up the price like 25. It's all good, though. Probably would have been a similar outcome anyway, because I really wanted those two.

Only thing that sucks, is that I missed out on a lot of players because of said, internet problems. My modem is still having problems today. ugh.

Michigan · 10-12-2010, 07:52 AM

The Michigan DenardRobinsons

PG: Jose Calderon :: Luke Ridnour :: Earl Watson
SG: Wilson Chandler :: Raja Bell :: Mickael Pietrus :: Tracy McGrady
SF: Kevin Durant :: Tayshaun Prince :: Andres Nocioni
PF: Elton Brand :: Greg Monroe
C: Al Horford :: Samuel Dalembert

$215 for Durant. At least it's a 20-team keeper league.

DiG · 10-12-2010, 08:10 AM

damn harder to draft with 20 teams. ive never done more than 12 in any fantasy league. should be interesting.

Team Not Kwame

PG - Devin Harris / Jrue Holliday
SG - Kobe Bryant / Marcus Thornton / JJ Reddick
SF - Hedo / CJ Miles / Al Farouq Aminu
PF - Anthony Randolph / Amir Johnson / Tiago Splitter / Drew Gooden / Ed Davis
C - Spencer Hawes / Anthony Randolph

I love me some Anthony Randolph this year. I expect big things going forward from Holliday and Thornton and Kobe is king. A lot of people down on Harris from last year but he picked it up the later part of the year and I think he is going to revert back more towards his play from 2 years ago now that he is healthy. Taking a chance on Hedo turning things back around in a new setting and probably need some better depth at center but I think I've got some room to make a move or two and be all set.

Shiver · 10-12-2010, 08:38 AM

PG - Chris Paul / Ramon Sessions
SG - Andre Iguodala / Rudy Fernandez / Marco Benelli
SF - Thaddeus Young / Dorrell Wright / Jamario Moon / Al Thorton
PF - Paul Milsap / Linas Klezia
C - Shaquille O'Neal / Timofey Mozgov / Nazr Mohammad

My center positions sucks, but other than that I like it. I got out-bid for all my sleeper centers.. argh.

Thanks, I'm hoping that works out. I figured it was better to overspend by a little bit to make sure I get several solid if a little unspectacular guys than to overspend by a lot to get a huge name.

I went in with some sleepers in mind and I think I got about half of them. D-Unit stole some guys like Hickson and McGee though...grr

Brodeur · 10-12-2010, 12:34 PM

PG: Ty Lawson/Lou Williams
SG: Dwyane Wade/JR Smith/Jason Terry
SF: Vince Carter/Ron Artest/Evan Turner
PF: David West/Andrei Kirilenko/Boris Diaw
C: Marc Gasol/Andris Biedrins/Chris Andersen

I have a point guard problem.

But I got my man Mozgov!

7'1" 270, averaged 13 points in the world championships. Should get 25+ minutes in D'Antoni's system. Rotoworld is projecting 9 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks and everyone acted like I was taking crazy pills when I grabbed him for 1$.

Lebron is a wildcard. Not sure I love him as much as I used to love him as a fantasy player when he was the only God in Cleveland. Now he's with 2 other Gods... so I'm not sure what the adjustment will be like.

I like T-Will. Wanted him, but saw him nominated too early. Too many people had money to spend and I didn't want to overpay for him as his price kept getting higher.

Daye was a nice get. I like him.

Love and Scola will be a strength for you, but it came at the cost of having crappy PGs.

At C, you should be able to compete near the top of the league.

You bastard. You overbid me for Howard! It's all good though. I was able to make better use of my money. Enjoy him!

You did a very good of job filling in the rest considering how much money you had left. Got some nice deals, but why the heck did you pay so much for Richard Jefferson?

In the end, you have 1 keeper in a 3 keeper league, so that hurts you going forward. Your starters look like backups on most other teams, but you do have a strong depth to make use of.

Good luck!
