Do we have a rookie option decline thread posted yet? And if the rookie is entering the third year, shouldn't the 4th year be green on his contract?

No there's no thread yet. You're more than welcome to post one up.

On the contract not being green, I don't recall the specifics, but it has to do with the game. That's why we usually just have this phrase on the rookie option thread as a catch all:

IF YOU HAVE A PLAYER ON A ROOKIE DEAL ENTERING HIS 2ND OR 3RD SEASON, YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF ACCEPTING OR DECLINING THEIR 3RD/4TH YEAR OPTION. THE DEFAULT IS TO ACCEPT.

Awesome. Thanks man.

Reminder,

the draft preview is no longer valid until the playoffs.

We have posted the pro prospects here:

I'm not sure of the rules of starting a DC thread. I usually check things first thing the day after a sim, but there usually isn't a DC thread up yet. Is it cool if I start a DC thread or is that a job (like point distributor, DC participation, etc)?

By way of reminder, the league DOES have an anti-tanking policy. I highly recommend making sure you don't run afoul of it -

I think you're intentionally trying to lose games

[WigNosy]

Want to apologize to those teams I originally said trades could not be processed for (and then noted they were okay to process). I thought the rule was 60 days (because it's what the game uses and it had been suggested for a vote), and wanted to give as much time as possible to let them re-work a trade. After going back through the voting forums (including the old proboards) I realized the suggestion had never actually been voted on and I was wrong - the rule was 1 sim for in-season signings.

This is what happens when I choose "assume you're right and give a fast response" over "take your time and be darn sure you are accurate even if it means being slow". Again, very sorry about that. All the original moves have been processed and the index and zip files are up to date with all transactions as of when I started typing this post (y'all have been fast and furious with the transactions today so maybe something else just went up I don't know about).

The only positive out of this for me is that at least I didn't go on a podcast yesterday and throw Mitch Kupchak under a bus while re-opening old wounds about the Chris Paul "basketball reasons" deal-nixxing.

[ballsohard]

I can take on a few million for points hmu

[WigNosy]

Index and league zip file updated with all (legal) transactions to this point.

Index and zip file updated with all transactions as of the trade deadline.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT SIM DATES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 2015 SEASON

Due to my schedule, there will be some minor tweaking of sim dates for the remainder of the 2015 season, thus:

Sim 9 will take place Friday 6/2 at appx 5 pm (normal schedule)
Sim 10 will take place Monday 6/5 at appx 5 pm (normal schedule)
Sim 11 will take place Wednesday 6/7 at appx 5 pm (normal schedule)
Sim 12 will take place THURSDAY 6/8 at appx 5 pm (one day EARLY)!

The college tournament is going to be slightly accelerated and should start on Saturday 6/3 (tomorrow!). We will try to get the tourney field up today. Sim Vegas, please take note.

The goal is to have the college season finish by Wednesday so that we can have the "real" draft class in place and uploaded to the index concurrent with Sim 11 or no later than 12.

PLAYOFFS WILL BEGIN EARLIER THAN USUAL - ON SATURDAY 6/10 - AND WILL RUN ON SUNDAYS
Round 1, Games 1-2 - Saturday 6/10
Round 1, Games 3-4 - Sunday 6/11
Round 1, Games 5-6 - Monday 6/12
Round 1, Game 7 - Tuesday 6/13 (if necessary)

My hope is to complete the playoffs no later than Thursday, 6/22 as my availability will be spotty at best the weekend of Friday 6/23 through Sunday 6/25. Offseason schedule will be forthcoming as we get closer to that date.

Was looking at the index to try and find Pierre Jackson to add as an honorary singee for the playoffs, and found out that not only is he not in the league, but he never even made the draft file. How can we fix this? #TheySleep

I want to try to launch something new this upcoming off-season between TC and the start of regular season.... SLOE Fantasy Basketball! The league will require a 10 Round draft. Probably cap at 10 teams. It will be a 8 or 9 category league, and the rankings in the league will be based on the highest team accumulated points for the entirety of the season. I will post updates throughout the season which will rank the update the standings.

We could do a buy in or no buy in. But there would be no trades, no mid-season signings (for simplicity's sake).

Roster would be:
PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, Util, Util

Depending how the 1st season goes, we would potentially work in cuts and signings, as well as bench spots in the future (altho this could be a pain in the ass to track ).

Would there be an interest in this? I just want to see what the turnout would be if others are interested.

ON THE WAIT LIST, WHY NOT GET INVOLVED?! We can also offer this to wait list GMs (Wombataholic and PrepP) to get interest in the league going. If there's a buy in, they can receive "trial points" in order to participate; if they win, they would then deduct trial points from the take-home pot total or keep the entire total take-home pot... whichever is ok with me. The points they win can go into their GM bank which would be transferred to their team bank upon starting as a GM (similar to media pts). If we go the route of recouping trial points... if GMs-in-waiting don't win the league, they can deduct those "trial points" from their bank total.

I think this sounds fun. And you can count me in.

Potential Categories = FG%, FT%, 3P%, PTS, REB, AST, STL, TO, BLK

So it would more than likely be a 9-cat league.
