I've made some pretty significant changes to the site this weekend. I'd love to hear some feedback and thoughts. I'd like to make the site as comfortable for you as it is for me.
Oh yeah, and I'm around for trade talk too. Hit me up ballaz!!
It's not bad. I like it. Only thing it takes a lil longer to load now that you have all these things going on. But I mesh with the flow. Since you have good content on this site, I will overlook anything that could be a problem. But yea, its good for sure.
p.s. people in the league havent been responding to trades. Once they get aprooved, I'll be back on here, botherin you with my upcoming moves and saucy numbers. haha
i was finally able to get rid of granger. idk how pts work for a 15 man roster but my team will score 700+ pts, 300+ reb, and 160+ast, maybe 70+ stls (now have 62 with 8 guys playing). im kind of weak on blcks and treys, and i cud work on my %s a little. u have any suggestions for this team?
I agree with Pavel on that, even the part about the inactive owners. how annoying. The new layout is cool, i like the fact that you have to self-identify as a commenter, sometimes trying to read your responses to others to help your own cause was confusing with all the annoy's. (i can only imagine how confusing it was for you!)
One thing that always gets me is idk which post I should comment on to get my questions on. generally, i go for the most recent and then once I get a back-and-forth started with you, i just stick with it. do you get notified if we were to comment on any of your posts on here?
one last note, im pumped for those baseball tiers you got working...cant wait to hear a guru's opinion on it to see how it matches up with my own. take your time. thanks for all the work you do!
Nice, good to hear guys. It's 1:30am here and I'm already workin on those baseball tiers. I also have access to extensive data for baseball, it'll be good.
I feel ya, i'm in the same time zone. but yeah i bet those tiers will be good. i'll be checking back for a post? and in the comments too. you dont gotta rush it just for me haha. whenever you got a chance to compile and post 'em, then go for it. I check this thing on the hour almost so ill be sure to see it whenever it gets up. good luck and thanks again!
okay so in one of my leagues there were some inactive managers so I as the commissioner decided to step in and replace them, so this guy comes in and takes over this team. Just to mention he told me he wanted Howard and get ready for an offer. So I am thinking okay he has Pua Gasol, Andre Iguodala, Danny Granger, Lamarcus Aldridge, Monta Ellis he'll probably offer me two of those guys for D Howard. Nope what does he do he offers me MY Dwight Howard for his Andrew Bynum and Stephen Curry. And on top of this he offers this trade the night Andrew Bynum only plays a WHOPPING 10 minutes because he fouled out. Please tell me you haven't gotten a worse trade offer than this.
So this guy in my league said he wants paul pierce and will give me two players which two do you think I should get from him (thinking one guard and one post)
MO WILLIAMS OJ MAYO CARON BUTLER VINCE CARTER ANTAWN JAMISON KEVIN GARNETT MARCUS CAMBY NENE HILARIO ERIC GORDON BARON DAVIS LAMAR ODOM JASON RICHARDSON AL HORFORD SPENCER HAWES JOHN SALMONS
just a note i have one roster spot open so that is why he said he will give me two for pierce so i could probably go 3-2 if the last guy is john salmons, eric gordon, oj mayo, or spencer hawes
I think the dude who sent the trade did so drunk at one a.m. after coming home from the bar. I'm taking a hit in assists but it seems worth it for a tier one player (especially because nash is an old man playing well and SJAX is playing well). I'd like to hear your thoughts. my team if trade goees through:
PG DWADE SG: SJAX SF: Lebron James PF: Al Jefferson C: Okafur UTL: Rashard Lewis UTL:Luol Deng UTL: Jason Terry
Bench: Jason Thompson Ben Wallace Michael Redd Channing Frye
I know i need assists, what trades should i propose? I like rondo and kidd.
ok here is my team i was in first coming in to this week and now i am getting beat 7-2. in a 12 man H2H league. i just would like to know is there anything i can do to make my team better.
Mike Conley Paul Pierce Jose Calderon Lebron James Rasheed Wallace David Lee Joel Przybilla Jermaine O'Neal Danilo Gallinari Raymond Felton Channing Frye Mehmet Okur Marreese Speights
I try to trade Lebron For Chris Paul + chris kaman but it got vetoed...not sure why
Yo thief, it's WeFlyHigh just changed my ID so I could follow your blog. It's pretty reputable, and a sick layout, but the only thing for me is that it's hard for me to find the archive of past articles in a list format. My two cents.
Aight, so I managed to pull off 2 trades recently, but they have to get approved first. How'd I make out?
12-team, H2H Most cats, 10 Starter 4 Bench 1 IR Team: PGs: Mo Williams, Felton, Calderon SGs: Courtney Lee (very thin at this position) SFs: LBJ, Deng, Ilyasova, Hill PFs: Garnett, Thompson Cs: Andrea, Okafor, Noah
IR: Nelson Temporary Pickup: SG/SF Maurice Evans (not included in sauce numbers)
The layout looks pretty neat. The current posts are readily accesible, whereas the index for the old post (right) makes it easy to refer to old entries for info. Keep it bro!
Hey I like the makeover but for some reason the blog seems to be slightly overwhelming with lots of things pulling your attention. My advice would be to make the blog posts/content the focal point and you can do that by adjusting the width, of the posts so that they don't span 3/4ths of the page, you can adjust font type, etc. I'm by no means an expert, just giving you my 2 cents!! I haven't posted on a blog since jan/feb of 2009, but here is what my old blog looked like, maybe you can draw some inspiration from it, maybe not!! http://artistintrospect.blogspot.com/
Onto the fantasy question. Below are the sauce numbers for my starting line up which has a few guys struggling as of late in comparison to last year (John Salmons, CharlieV, Wade) and I have J.Nelson on the bench who was not part of the sauce # averages and his return could affect the assists, treys and steals categories.
PG) Jason Kidd SG) Dwayne Wade G) Rajon Rondo SF) Charlie Villanueva PF) Michael Beasley F) Andrea Bargnani C) Chris Kaman C) Brendadn Haywood Util) Beno Udrih Util) John Salmons Bench) Shawn Marion Bench) Joel Pryzbilla Bench) Jameer Nelson (inj)
keeping those sauce #s in mind and seeing my league settings + roster, any thoughts or ideas in mind for trades I should try to pull off?
I am trying to buy low on a few guys and am thinking of sending out the following trades:
I send: CharlieV+Udrih for Hedo I send: CharlieV for E.Gordon I send: Marion for Okur I send: Marion+Pryzbilla+Udrih for L.WIlliams+Maggete
Mavs, NOTHING better than inkin a deal from a guy who was drunk. Ha! I love it, you def Trade Raped him there. Kidd n Rondo r pricey, try Terry for Jameer Nelson, toss in a bench guy to make it happen.
Scola, yeah those two cats r the diff. If u need fg n 3's, go Nash.
Tyrone, it got vetoed because people abuse the veto! I HATE VETOES! Ok conley doesn't cut it, u need a real pg. Start shoppin him n frye or gallinari an see what you can bring home. Go for everyone from Nelson, rondo, n Mo to Deron n Nash (they'll hopefully counteroffer you). Good luck, let me know what comes of it.
FlyHigh! Wassap playa, thx for the feed back, I can hook that up. Love those trades, love them! Go for mike miller off the FA for sure. Oh but I would NOT do KG n Okafor for Roy.
Intro, thanks for the feedback, good stuff! As for the team, I like your offers but your issue is needing a big. Can u move Marion for Aldridge? Something along those lines. Brook Lopez, Elton brand, somethin like that.
Hey thief - appreciate that feedback and I can try to get someone like Brand, but I'm not sure if that's my main concern right now because I'm 1st in the league in block and 3rd in rebounds. I have plenty off-Centers that cover big man stats for me such as rebounding, i.e. Kidd, Wade, Charlie, Beasley. Here's how I stand in the league right now. 13 GMS. As you know 13 = best in that cat, 1 = last in that cat.
Yeah I didn't like the KG + Okafor offer for Roy that much, so I cancelled it right after I posted it. And mhm, yeah mike miller is looking like a better option actually. thanks a lot.
Intro, I hear ya bro. I know treys is ur main concern, but jameer will help out a ton an the hedo or e gord deals add icing. I'd just like to see u make a 2-1 that brings home a solid big. Kamans an injury concern, an with Blake he's gonna lose a few minutes. That's all I'm gettin at.
Point taken! I'd like to add a reliable big as well! I'll go hunting for some! The Hedo deal just got turned down and the E.gordon one is still up there for the owner to "hopefully" take. The Marion for Okur deal is still up as well, which I wouldn't mind happening as long as Okur starts to pick up his play. thanks again for the advice
A couple small questions, I'm trying to sell high-ish on Deng. Who would be better target as other teams have expressed interest. I could perhaps swing Deng for D. West or Deng for B. Davis. Or should I keep Deng? What's your opinion?
Kev, I don't belive Dengs value will rise from here, and if you inked a deal for BD or D West, I think that'd be a steal. I'd say west if you want to maintain the same stat cats as deng gives, or BD if u need more dimes instead.
The site looks great, adds more flavor than the plain white of old. I diggin' the Maxim as a resource. Keep it up man, and we'll keep the people coming!
It's not bad. I like it. Only thing it takes a lil longer to load now that you have all these things going on. But I mesh with the flow. Since you have good content on this site, I will overlook anything that could be a problem. But yea, its good for sure.

Thanks.
