Can't wait, not sure what pick is best to have in basketball, I'm thinking 12th pick would be best for a newbie... 2 solid players instead of a superstar?

9. We can safely cross off the Knicks because a "Chauncey Billups, Landry Fields, Ronny Turiaf and Toney Douglas for Paul and Trevor Ariza" deal isn't exactly knocking Dell Demps' socks off. What's sad is that I've had to repeatedly explain this to every Knicks fan I know. And they're still in denial.


Was reading a article today about Paul going to the Knicks..thought it was funny..are you one of those in denial sparky?

It depends. One thing we know FOR SURE is that Paul is not willing to accept a trade anywhere and sign an extension. So if there is any team out there whose willing to trade him without an extension...than he'll go. But if there aren't...the Hornets will have nothing else they can do but cave.

With that said...I don't expect him to come over here before the season starts. Maybe by the trade deadline like Melo if their hand is really forced.

All I know is that it looks like, by next year, he'll be a Knick.

Not locking teams in the NFL fantasy leagues??

Doesn't make any sense to have the teams that didn't make the playoffs making roster moves that can affect the people in the money playoffs.

SPARKY....why in the world did you make a roster move?

Woops. I made that move as soon as Forte went down. Then I gave up looking after Monday's game.

But on the other hand...I shouldn't be forced to stop making moves just because I'm not in the playoffs. I'm sure the guy who's facing the other guy who was gonna pick him up is thrilled right now.

That is precisely why you shouldn't be making/allowed to make any moves. Someone who isn't in the playoffs shouldn't affects teams in the playoffs at this point.

the teams that didnt make the Playoffs should have their Rosters locked..   there's $800 bucks on the line and people that miss the playoffs are done anyway and should have no affect on the Guys fighting for that 1st place prize of $800 and 2nd prize of $250..  just my take on it...

Here's what I meant.

Everyone was talking about ManRam being the middle man.

I followed that up by saying that I was happy that I had my situation figured out because I sent my money to ManRam and the only thing I had to worry about was PSM's $10 bowl pick'em. I have $10 read to send over to him but I haven't heard anything about his bowl league.

No sarcasm. I'm just waiting for the bowl pick'em information (league ID: and password).

Alright. I just didn't know that was the case. I had taken 10 whole dollars out of my wallet and put it aside from you (it was two fives actually). I was all ready to send it out.
