ako nga nagulat nung ina-prove mo shaq-peja trade.
although ok naman ang si peja di ba, averages 18-20 pts a game.

siguro yung rebound 1 pt na lang. kasi ang nangyari walang may gusto sa mga guards. tulad ni steve nash walang fantasy value sa atin kasi he doesnt rebound pero ok naman sa assists kaso 1 pt lang per assist sa rules natin.

[theveed]

Kimpoy: Traded him almost a week after, following that, Peja went all over the place hehe...


Hehe, Former Kings to Mavs?

Agent says Christie will sign with Mavs
By STEVE QUINN, Associated Press Writer

DALLAS (AP) -- Free agent guard Doug Christie plans to sign with the Dallas Mavericks, his agent said Thursday.

``For us, it's been exactly what we wanted,'' agent Bradley Marshall told The Associated Press.

Marshall said Christie likes the Mavericks style of play and believes his defensive skills make him a good fit for the team. Christie is expected to sign a multiyear deal, but Marshall wouldn't reveal any other details of the contract.

``They have got a coach (Avery Johnson) who knows how to win and make players better and the ownership is strong,'' Marshall said. ``It's a solid situation.''

The Mavs scheduled a Friday morning news conference with team owner Mark Cuban and Johnson, but didn't say what would be discussed.

Telephone messages left for Donnie Nelson, the Mavericks' president of basketball operations, were not immediately returned.

Christie, waived by the Orlando Magic last week, is expected to help fill the void created when Dallas waived Michael Finley on Monday.

Last season, Christie played 52 games and averaged 6 points per game. In his 13-year NBA career with five teams, he has averaged 11.4 points per game. Christie faced the Mavericks in the playoffs with Sacramento the past three seasons.

A strong defender who would fit well into Johnson's scheme, Christie didn't necessarily command a lot of money because Orlando still owed him about $8 million. Because of salary cap constraints, the Mavs could offer no more than $5 million and were not likely to use it all on one player.

While Marshall would not offer details of Christie's contract, he said his client turned down a one-year, $4-million deal and a 4-year, $20 million deal from other NBA teams.

``He was sought after by six or seven teams very strongly and one other team very aggressively,'' Marshall said. ``If that doesn't tell you that he is more interested in winning and more interested in making his family comfortable with a nice place to live, I don't know what more he can do to indicate that.''

Christie was among a group of players released by 18 NBA teams who took advantage of a one-time chance to avoid luxury tax obligations. Teams whose payrolls exceed $61.7 million for the upcoming season must pay a dollar-for-dollar tax on the overage.

But clubs had until Monday to use the ``amnesty'' option that allowed them to avoid the luxury taxes by releasing players. Players still received guaranteed money from their former teams.

i also think we should change the scoring system. kasi pag dinoble mo yung value ng isang category, ubusan na dun. would prefer to put equal value on each category equally, or maybe do it rotisserie-style (all stats in that category are added up over the season, and you get points depending on how high you are in each category).

o di kaya para exciting every week gawin nating head-to-head...kayo bahala

ano ba requirements para makasali?

easy. i-detail mo lang yung kotse ko, and you're in!

Fellow GMs.

This is to confirm the Fajero Fafas' participation in this year's edition of the Tsikot Fantasy League.

Bahala na kayong mga fogi sa setup ng scoring. I suggest that the league be open ONLY to frequenters of the NBA thread, as well as to last year's members of course.

Amfuts, sana naman suwertehin ako sa draft!!!!

[pajerokid]

ILD, sure na sasali ka namin dont worry

[ILuvDetailing]

wala bang preseason scouting?

[empy]

a few answers for you guys:


1. head-to-head scoring is played more like a real sports league...every week you are assigned an opponent who you compete against for best total weekly stats. every stat you win or lose for the week counts in your W/L column and the best 8 records make the playoffs (btw playoffs are the last 2 weeks of regular season).

masarap to kasi may trash talking and bragging rights every week, and people adjust their lineups based on the strengths and weaknesses of their upcoming opponent. masaya din yung playoffs, where every week it's win or go home. the disadvantage is that kung malas ka in one week, or if your players don't have a lot of games, your season may be over. points and roto leagues reward players for being good over a whole season, while in H2H you just have to finish strong.


2. when does the league start?
i'll configure it so that we track stats starting with day 1 of the regular season. when do we start? kung gusto nyo draft na tayo ngayon eh (seriously!)


3. from PK: "I suggest that the league be open ONLY to frequenters of the NBA thread, as well as to last year's members of course."

i like this suggestion...it would ensure we have active managers. pero kahit active tsikot poster siguro pwede na rin.


4. "sana swertehin ako sa draft!"
have been thinking about this...kung autodraft gawin natin swertihan talaga. you can preset your draft order, op kors, but it's hard to draft smartly at every spot when the computer is drafting for everybody. malabo din siguro na mai-schedule natin ang live draft.

my only other suggestion is to do a "slow draft"...basically i will make a new thread and post the draft order and league rules/positions. players will then post their picks in order on the thread, para kuntroladong-kuntrolado natin ang mga draft natin (and it's fun to see it slowly unfold). only drawback is that it might take two weeks to finish...kung hassle yan, autodraft na lang tayo.

[ILuvDetailing]

sa slow-draft ako :D, so pano yung draft order? By order of seniority ba?

Check out this exchange culled from an 18-page question-and-answer interview with NBA great Michael Jordan and ``Cigar Aficionado'' magazine editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken:

QUESTION FROM SHANKEN: ``They say that from every experience, good or bad, there is a valuable lesson learned. What lessons did you take out of the Washington Wizards?''

ANSWER FROM JORDAN: ``I think it exposed me to a lot of decision-making. One of the bad decisions I made was to go back and play. Even though I was soothing an itch that I had, I also thought I was being innovative in my job by going down and evaluating the talent firsthand. I thought it would be a good idea to play against them, see what their tendencies were and what we were paying for. But at the same time, I became more critical of them because of the way I played the game and the way I'd approach the game, and the players didn't respond to that. They didn't respond to the desire that I had when I was playing. I may just have gotten too close to see or maybe too critical of certain actions of the players. That was one of the biggest mistakes that I feel I made in Washington.

``You go in with initiative, and you go into a program that needs guidance, and you have to find out what the agenda may be. With the Washington situation, there was an agenda. They were well over the cap and losing money''
