Birdman, joephemzyz I asked a question and no reply. At draft day, are going to add players to be able ourselves or the system would give by default? And if it's self acquisition, would it be first come first serve? More info about draft day please. smiley

my bad I thought I replied. On draft day, you login to draft room. you will see the link hours before draft starts. There will be like 10 or so rounds - in each round, everybody gets to draft their favorite player. These rounds continue until your roster is filled, usually 2 PG, 3 G, 3, F, 2C and 2 spare.

There are 9 categories to compete for - points, assists, rebounds, blocks, steals, turnovers, FG% and FT % (cant remember the other 1 right now)

If during the draft you pick too many guards like Curry, CP3 etc, you may be very good at the assists category, but your turnovers will suffer, and you wont have many rebounds.

On the other hand, if you pick the big dudes like Al Jefferson etc, your blocks and rebounds performance will be good, but your assists will suffer. So the key is to pick a reasonable complete roster in all the rounds so that you can compete well in every category. Also, I think there is a way to do a mock draft so you can practice. If you cant find it via google, lemme know. Ill look it up

Every week, you will face an opponent and you guys will compete in each of the 9 categories using your players. You want to win more categories than your opponents to rise to the top of the league. Towards end of season, there will be playoffs among top 6, elimination style.

Draft day is Sunday 23rd, 5PM PT. Login beforehand to prerank your players just in case you dont like yahoos default ranking. I know some people want to pick Durant this year - good luck to you angry

I participated in a mock draft. And I got a hang of it. The draft is kind of an automatic pick by the system. When you add a player, someone else adds that player, what happens that I don't get him or vice versa?

Lol.. It's a Clapback not a shot.. If only Pierce hasn't been talking too much of late. Talked about him being always a Celtic after claiming to be happy at Clippers, Took shots at current star players forming super teams when Wade yesterday mentioned he and LeBron thought about moving to Bulls in 2010 and how he didn't do any of those at his time and throwing shots at KD. He forgot his "Big 3"? He's a good guy and I don't expect him to be hurt by Green saying "Nobody cares what you did or who you did it for". Give it a break.

Pierce is always a Celtics, how is that trash talk? He was traded, for the betterment of the team, which he understood and accepted. Paul pierce never left to go join a team to form a big three or a big four should i say?, they came to join him...

Via Trades, Ray Allen got traded to Celtics at the age of 32, not during his twilight years. Dany Ainge traded for Kevin Garnett at the age of 31, not during his prime time years.

Not against what Kevin Durant did, but Green should shut up, his antics and foolishness cost his team the ring this year, not like he is going to be a hall of famer..... He should keep quiet when hall of famers are talking abeg.

Lol.. What's the difference, they joined him and played with them. For the earlier as I said he's been talking too much of late. "Players these days are not hungry and are not as competitive it used to be in my days, players forming super teams, I didn't do any of those things". When you make your opinions known to the media, you'd always get response and Pierce a man of class shouldn't be hurt by this statement..

Draymond is a kid. for real. Calling one the most respected players in the game stupid? When he finally calms down, how is he going to apologize and come back from that? This is one of those things I think Mark Jackson could have taught these guys that Kerr doesnt - be careful blabbing about fellow NBA players. They may very well be your teamate, or coach even in the future!

you are saying what's the difference, like there isn't a difference. Two players past their prime at age 31 and 32 respectively , traded to Paul pierce team in which the celtics the year before where the worst team in the league?

There is a difference Abeg.

Green said nobody cared what you did or who you did it for to Paul Pierce. That's a foolish, and stupid statement and I am not surprised. Kid talks to much, got a temper tantrum, and filled with foolish antics. If a player like lebron said that, we would be saying something else.

Please who can tell me what KD is doing on that list?? Melo should have taken that position.

I feel kobe is ranked low. But after looking at 1-8 again. kobe cant be ranked above anyone there. So he should be at the 9th spot.


How come the ranked Reggie and Dirk above Charles barkley. A40 shey Dirk better pass Barkley grin??

Allen Iverson should have also been on list, they can take away Wade but Allen deserves a spot on that list.

Guys, is that list ok to you or some players dont deserve some spot on that list??

Curry is one hell of a shooter I wont argue about that but I feel he hasn't maintained his level of play long enough to be considered the best shooter. Reggie Miller and Ray Allen were great shooters for a longer period of time... If he can perform the way he did last season for two more seasons, then he can be in the top 50 grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 3:41pm On Oct 16, 2016
Lolawilliams, so you think LeBron, ,Shaq, Duncan, Magic, Wilt are better than Kobe Bryant? undecided

Pippen shouldn't be in top 20. Durant and Miller shouldn't be in top 25.

Curry doesn't have to do any goddamn thing to pass Miller or Allen. He's better than them.

Unless you want him to play like last season again which is next to impossible, he'd be in top 25. For now, he isn't

You just one vex people. cheesy

Reggie Miller doesn't do much for me,
He plays like JJ reddick,running around screen for 20sec before he finds an open shot. I dont like that as my first option on offence.

Top 25? well I still doubt that. Since it's next to impossible for him to do that for two more seasons. Top 50 is certain, but I doubt top 25

Lol, No vex abeg grin

Curry is a brilliant shooter. but I think Reggie was really an innovator, A 3points specialist, Showed people the power of the three.

Is curry the greatest shooter or 3point shooter of all time? Yes , If he retired tomorrow would we place him above Reggie and Ray Allen.. when we look back after 30 years? Probably not.

I don't think Curry can take the place of Reggie on that list

No be me go vex,it is the warrior fans you should be afraid of.
Bird was also killing from three,way before Reggie.
If Curry retires today,
He gets on that list for me.
If he maintain his output he can only climb up that list.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:31pm On Oct 16, 2016
I have defended Curry's talent on this thread numerous times, however, i am being pragmatic when i say, until Curry replicates his regular season dominance in the post season where all time greats are made, i would not replace Reggie Miller with Curry or have him in my top 25.

We may as well include James Harden on that list if Curry is that great to be a top 25.

I desperately want to go into specifics in this argument but its a subjective topic that divides opinion.
