yeah but dinged up is one thing, injury prone-risk is another thing, I can take a look at everyone's team and come up with flaws but not everyhing equals to injury risk. for example last year an average player missed 10 games, so you can't call a guy injury prone because he missed 8 games per season in his career.

I agree with Curry being a high risk high reward player, same goes with Roy but the rest looks pretty average to me. I can point out 4-5 guys on each team with injury history or hurt right now. Hell half the league is tainted if you look at it that way.

Injury risk is pretty hard to guess at, you did grab a few I tend to avoid but really I was just kidding you.

funny yet, so inaccurate. just because of Curry and Roy and Harrington? (who I can replace with any of the waiver guys)

Bargnani and Granger said hi.

Granger? he might be injured right now and taking it slow but you gotta be kidding me or have no idea what you are talking about, because the guy is tough as hell and I got him at the end of round 4... Bargnani, I can understand, but he ain't injury prone. if you take his worst season out, he only missed 8 games per season in his career, which is acceptable.

and btw Al Harrington isn't injured that ofthen either (I counted him because he's injured right now)

and guess what? you have Pekovic, Eric Gordon, Thad Young, Wilson Chandler who are either on par or with Bargnani or much worse than him about missing games... and even Asik was injured a few times in Turkey. oh and Rubio. So I guess you were just kidding after all.

So you feel like you won some lottery by landing Granger at the end of round 4? If anything, you should first realize all the owners who passed on him despite ranking 29th in 9 cat leagues last year. Besides his troublesome training camp knee, you do realize his per 36 numbers last year slipped to career (or near) lows in almost all cat's? Pts, FG%, STL's, AST, REB, BLK...

As for Barg's, last year he was reportedly in the best shape of his life. Well that worked out well and considering how he's already commented he's more Krispy Kreme-like this training camp, it sure gives me confidence about his upcoming season. Even if he doesn't miss more than a handful games, he's going to face far more competition in his stronger categories. Addition of Lowry, a hungrier DeRozan and Ed Davis and young guys in Ross and Valanciunas will all give his value quite a few more question marks.

Thanks for listing 3 of my last picks though. You know fantasy managers heavily rely on their last few choices. I mean pickups are quite rare over an 82 game season. I will wager that at least 1 of these guys give me top 80 value.

Ok, enough hard ball with ya Sabonis even though you initiated all of this with a very open ended question regarding your team. Guess we're just bonkers for assuming the most obvious answer. :-B

no PM eh? thanks sabonis :-t

people forget you know, especially if this board is blocked at their office computer... I can only pick by my phone...

also it has been 24 hours from Rounders' pick, it would have been your turn anyway.

yet, still sorry to cause you any trouble (2 picks) but I don't think you should use it as an excuse

To be fair, you could have let someone know ahead of time that you aren't able to send PM's regularly to find an alternative means of notifying the next person in line. Everyone is going to assume they're going to get a PM when they're up, and rightfully so since the league draft rules specifically require it. I don't think it's fair to just stay quiet about your inability to follow the procedure that everyone else has strictly adhered to, and then shift the blame to someone who was relying on you to do so.

mostly just giving you sh*t sabonis. even though a PM is expected and i have been super busy lately, i will take responsibility for watching when my turn is coming up. not really trying to point blame away from myself. on a side note, half my picks are from my phone and pm'ing is still a possibility.

Well this sucks. I build a team around Love and he won't be around for the start of the season.

by **sabonis** » Wed Oct 17, 2012 11:53 pm

well I thought we were gonna be done by now but if I don't pick till midnight of 19th, I will have to get a mail from one of you stating the last 12 picks or so and that it's my turn to pick.

anybody wanna do it? if not I probably won't have a 13th player on my roster for the next 2 weeks
