are we allowed to pick up a "free agent" as long as we drop someone on our current team?

I've been wondering that myself... Perhaps we should vote on it?

Yes let's vote on that.

I'm not sure if we should allow that or not.

I say do it.

I say no. We had 15 rounds of time. thats plenty to pick up any player you wanted that would still be available.

What kind of logic is that? This is a fantasy draft. Don't you have FA's in every single fantasy team you have? Trades have been allowed, just like every fantasy league. How is this different?

you dont have to whine and cry. its just my vote.

Well you don't have to get hissy.

i fail to see where in my previous statement I am angry or have a bad temper.

And I fail to see where I whined or cried. I was just following your lead. You seem to have issues when your opinion is objected.

whatever man. im done here.

Ok, dude. Although I don't know how we're all supposed to come to an agreement if we don't discuss these things. No need to be offended. It's just a fantasy league.

Not offended, just don't want to argue. And there is no need to all come to a collective agreement, I was under the impression that a majority vote would do it.

Why does it have to be an argument? We're just discussing a topic.

I think waiver wire stuff should be allowed. We're trying to emulate an actual season as closely as possible, and that's part of one. If you can find a player that's better than one of your top 12, more power to you, IMO.

Or Darel Carrier. Or George Lehmann.

These guys were the Ray Allen's of the ABA.

Rick Barry was not a elite three point shooter.

Crzy. You never saw the man play and just going off some stats. I watched Rick Barry play many many times and trust me he was a great great shooter.

I have a feeling it'll turn into chaos with dudes just shouting names out.

I vote no. If you wanted a guy, you should have drafted him.

This.
I vote no

Wow, dead last in defense.

You're right about that. But I mean, you can be a world class shooter from 18 feet and be an average shooter from three point range.

The three pointer didn't appear to be a great part of Rick Barry's game. Or most players at that time.

Larry Bird for MVP

If you look at Larry Bird's stats, you see that he only evolved into a long range sniper after his 7th season. As the game evolved to become more perimeter oriented, players started taking fewer 15 footers and started taking threes. And the best pure shooters like Danny Ainge made that transition very well.

Someone with the competitive streak of Rick Barry (which made him a huge a*****e) who understood the "art of shooting," which is mostly repetition, probably would have been a great three point shooter if he played in the modern era

Everyone knows the story of Michael Redd right? The guy fell to the 2nd round because despite the fact that he had legit size and strength, he was a very inconsistent outside shooter from the college 3. NBA general managers thought his shooting was a liability. Michael Redd sure showed them

That's why I laugh when guys like Tyreke Evans fall to the 4th pick because of concerns about his jumper. Although Reke Havoc (awesome nickname) does have a funky behind the head release...[:x]

My original point, is that from the perspective of WhatifSports, Rick Barry is a 30% three point shooter. And that's hurting John's team. It wasn't to disparage Rick Barry at all.

I think you can be a great shooter without being great from 3 point range. Kobe and Rip Hamilton are examples of that.

Another Roster shake up for my Clips.

PG- Bob Cousy 1952–53 (36 Mins)/Bobby Jackson 2002-03 (12 Mins)
SG- Sam Jones (28 Mins) 64-65/Michael Redd 2005–2006 (20 Mins)
SF- LaMarcus Alridge 08-09 (28 Mins)/Andre Iguodala 07-08 (20 Mins)
PF- Rasheed Wallace 01-02 (28 Mins)/ Erick Dampier 03-04 (20 Mins)
C- Robert Parish 1988-89 (28 Mins)/Chris Kaman 07-08 (20 Mins)

DNP- Shane Battier/ Max Zalosfy/James Posey/Dolph Schayes
Coach- Pat Riley

I did your changes, but why wouldn't you play Rasheed at small forward. He played some SF when he was younger.

Lamarcus' ability will drop significantly at small forward.

The transition from center to power forward is a much easier one to make.

Allowing Free Agents

Yep.

This isn't even fantasy. There are no injuries, fatigue is not an issue, no player will be having issues with drugs, there will be no locker room issues . . . etc.

We had 15 rounds to build our teams.

The way I see it, it's not like it's going to make a difference either way. There aren't very many good players left.
