yeah i just checked b/c i knew dunleavy's breakout year was year 1. that's why i dealt for him in the offseason

fml

then amare only played 53 games the next year and i sold out. that was the year of team block party

so this is year 5. only 8 finals appearances exist. we all know you've won it twice. i've been there once. les has once or twice. frady. rmcc.

is that all the teams who have ever been there? who did frady/rmcc beat?

Again...I dont think you would be arguing this if you didnt win TDFL.




actually i would be. I dont think i lucked into anything in TDFL. Which is why i dont think much luck was involved. Couple that with the scoring and its hard to say there was much luck.

If its so easy...why dont you win it.



Who said it was easy?

I just said it was the easiest to manipulate your team to make it better. The thing is, 4 or 5 other teams can just as easily do that. Which is why its a crapshoot.

we're 30 games into the season and you've already made like 3 trades getting something for nothing to improve your team. Thats my exact point.

has cwill made it once?

i think this year has been a really healthy year in tdbbl. there are 8 teams going for the 6 spots. that's 2/3 of the league

i don't think knot, rick, or myself are selling out within the next 2 weeks, either

I traded Garnger for Tyreke...lateral move at best

I traded a 3rd for Barbosa and Marion...I have already dropped Barbosa

I did fleece the shite out of you on the Thompson for Duncan trade.

Then Griif for a 1st

I have to pay for that shite next year...and guess what...I wont be in last place after 7 weeks.

Unless I collapse against Les and rmcc (combined 7-9ish), I'm in it for the rest of the way.

it is interesting how many teams who do accumulate multiple early picks don't improve

drafting and developing a team strategy is super important in this league

Man if Krama wins my "methodology" will be all fricked up

I will trash what has worked for me for 4 and a half years and try to obtain 4 "top 15 players"

exactly my point.


none of our other leagues are set up like that.

5 teams have already sent out their 1st round picks to improve their team.

4 others have dealt their 2nds


in the end this league is won by whoever can rip off the other owner.

So you prefer a league where we draft and no trades are permitted in season? I mean, this is a part of every league, except to a lesser extent in TDFL.

some trades work out. some don't

if kevin martin continues to have basketball AIDS then i fricked up. i don't think i got "ripped off" though
