Projected rankings from this draft

Seeing as KG had autopick on, and both him and Mizuno seem to know what they`re doing, I`d say I`m probably destined for last place.
 
Mizuno said:
We are still missing some people, so if they don't respond in the next few days (say, until Friday), then they will be replaced with new people.

Also, for those already in the league, what do you think of increasing the number of playoff teams from 6 to 8? Basically what this would do is that the 1st and 2nd place teams don't have a bye in the first round. Haven't tried this before, but I am leaning on doing this. Thoughts?

sounds like a good idea.

Also, I am not planning to keeping any of my players from last season.

I don't really like this most people in bottom half have given up and I don't like 1st/2nd teams being burned if opponent gets a lucky week when they have had consistency over the season. I think they deserve a week's reprieve.

Agreed. Keep it as is.
 
I dropped Kemba Walker and picked up Ben Gordon in free agency a couple days ago. It appears that was a solid move, as the Pistons cleared the jam at the guard position by buying out Richard Hamilton.
 
Alright, so for the keeper league I am missing Gouki and HeroMasaki. HeroMasaki hasn't been online in a while, so I assume he will not be returning. I will reach out to Gouki to see if he's returning. On Wednesday I will start looking for people to fill those open slots.

Also, I changed the draft to Sunday, 8PM (-4 GMT). Keepers list should be in no later than Friday so I can set up everything.

Keepers so far:

The_Chaser: Kevin Durant
Stallion: Kevin Love, Stephen Curry, Rajon Rondo
Mizuno: Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Carmelo Anthony
darkie: -None-
Ghost_Chill: -None-
BiGGie: Dwayne Wade, Pau Gasol
Lakers: Derrick Rose, Amare Stoudamire
DerrickRose: Chris Paul
Scofield: -None-
tito: -None-
HeroMasaki: Lebron Jamaes, Monta Ellis, LaMarcus Aldridge
 
Just confirming that we can take less than 3 keepers. (E.g: Take two keepers and start picking in third round.)

If so, I'll be taking Pau Gasol and Dwayne Wade.
 
Are we doing the same as last year where you have to forfeit your first few picks or for instance, if I wanna keep Bynum which im almost positive I got much later, I can sack that pick instead of one of my top 3? If its the same as last year, im only keeping D-Rose/Amare
 
Possible to do the draft a day earlier or a day later? I FINALLY got my work roster and I'm working on the Monday (which is the day of the draft in Aussie time), but the day before/after are my only two days off before Christmas (or the day before that, that's free). If nobody else can make the time that suits me I understand, don't expect the whole draft to be changed for one person. Let me know if that's possible at all though, the lockout fucked the start of the season and draft time is usually a lot easier for me to attend!
 
I can a day earlier if it's at least 2 hours earlier (6PM -4 GMT). Later in the week works in my case, but others might have Holiday plans.

EDIT: A benefit of doing it later in the week is that we get to see the end of the free agency period, so it makes drafting some players "safer". Not a big deal though since most of the important free agents have already signed.

The time you listed above works alright for me, 9 am on the Sunday (GMT + 11) by my calculations. It's a bit early but it's definitely achievable. A day later works well for me as well because it's my only day off next week! Whatever suits the masses, I'm just hoping itll be a time that suits me so I can be at the draft :)
 
Alright so I will probably change the draft time to tomorrow (Saturday) at 6PM -4GMT, unless I hear from a couple of people tonight that they can't make it. Also, please finish sending me your keepers by tonight, otherwise I will assume you are not keeping anyone.
