Curse you!!!!

Damn dude, how did CW get so stacked?? I guess I just keep thinking about this in terms of REAL basketball, not fantasy basketball. I guess any guy that doesn't produce on a fantasy level needs to get cut. Seriously though, I don't understand how you can still get such a stacked team.

Some of these transactions that I'm looking at are WHACK. Mardy Collins and Turiaf for Calderon? Dre Miller for 3+ mil a year?

Hornets and Spurs are now taken.

Teams still available:

Nets
Hawks
Bobcats
Knicks
76ers

Suns
Mavericks
Rockets

I just now took the Spurs (because they have one player I like) and I have no idea what the hell I am doing. Apparently I am 4 trillion dollars over the salary cap.

Because CW was a participant in the most lopsided, ridiculous trade in the history of real or fantasy sports. He essentially traded Ronnie Brewer for the #1 overall pick (Griffin), Deandre Jordan, and Marcus Camby compliments of the idiot Clippers owner.

Also the Utah guy gave him Boozer for basically nothing and now is giving away Calderon (who he traded Deron Williams for!!!!) and has turned the Jazz into a d-league team.

All of this happened before I was in the league.

Take full advantage of these 2 GMs, they are obviously not very bright.

You're only 6 million over. Besides, being over the cap doesn't really even matter much anyways.

Make some trades, and then if you are still over buy some of your highly paid bench warmers out.

You have between now and late October to get your roster the way you want it, so no worries.

Hey YoLeo, if you're interested in Kidd, Odom, Artest, or Villanueva there are actually still free agents. Their agent is on vacation right now. They are in the "grace period". I don't think they'll show up on the free agent lists but if you go to "Make Offer to Free Agent" on your team page and find them on the drop down menu, I think you can still make them offers. If you're interested that is. Just letting you know.

EDIT: nm about Villanueva he was signed by the Bucks today.

Ugh, this is beginning to seem awfully complicated. Plus I feel so behind, looking at teams like CW's. I feel really bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if I dropped out of this because this might be too time-consuming for me. Might just stick to my game, Y! fantasy basketball instead. At least I haven't made any moves yet or screwed the team up.

I'm not gonna lie, it is extremely complicated at first. The site definitely has some user friendliness and navigation issues. But once you get the hang of it, you can start rolling and it gets much easier. And also takes up much less time.

The season doesn't start for 3 months. You don't have to do everything in one day.

I wouldn't give up just yet. Just concetrate on getting any free agents that you may want and then you'll have tons of time to get your team the way you want it and accustomed with the fine details of the game.

Also CW's team is an anamoly. He somehow struck it rich with the 2 biggest boneheads in the game.

Lucky for you you're not in his division like I am.

Who cares if you don't have the best team anyways. It's just for fun. Just like in real life some teams are always in rebuilding mode. Plus by not doing anything stupid your team is already better than a number of the teams out there.

I'll be looking after the New Jersey Nets. Perhaps not well, but we'll see. Vince Carter anyone?

Been looking for something like this for a while, but the site is so damn slow......

So that is why Dwight Howard was sitting around?

I was reading around the site but I wanted to make sure I got it right...

1. I score points for signing players to deals.
2. I score points during the season when my guys actually play.
3. Why was Trevor Ariza out there to be picked up but now I see there is a countdown about a contract submission?

WOW.... fun There just went 3 hours of my life twiddling with my team the Hawks. I only wished I knew about this sooner... HOWL to CW for the heads up on this site.

I will probably end up negative howling you CW if my marriage,job and life suffers as a consequence of being addicted to this By the way, what an absolute kick arse team you've got.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I inherited a reasonable team... minus Mike Bibby which I'm pissed-off about. Can anyone offer a decent PG?

My team is stacked because I am the most awesome GM ever?

P.S. I got Dre Miller cheap because no one else made him offers! Not sure how he flew under the radar. Also, some trades are made just to cut salary.

Yes, if you have any trades you want, offer them to the LAC or Utah GM's first. They may or may not be 12 year olds that snuck onto their parents computers and joined the league.

P.S. Lopsided trade??? I feel that when people look back at it years from now, the TWolves-Clippers trade will be remembered as a Picasso.
