Ahh common this is not necessary.

Smokes is right actually.

We should go w what we had last season w slight mods maybe.

And that was def some bull**** you pulled last season lolz! oh shet forgot about that.

Can we pls for the love if christ keep this league legit??

Actually smokes isn't right, if he doesn't agree with my logic on the stats then he doesn't agree. You agree with his opinion that's fine. But I got my reasons for the stats and I'll be a funner league than last season. Give it a chance and don't be so anally tight about it.

I didn't pull off anything since the trade was vetoed so calm down my child.

This league is legit as it gets, just have a good draft and keep track of your waivers and players and you bring a legit performance all year, no weak stuff.

It isn't unfair if the stats apply to everyone. You're being dramatic and acting like you're getting 0 value out of all stats. Stop stressing this out, it's not a big deal. Just have fun with the league.

From what I remembered, you weren't too successful last season. I don't know where you get this mouth to talk a lot about fair. Worry about actually being successful in this league before you start crying. You failed with the standard stats, so you really don't hold much weight here.

I'm sticking with what's been made. Let me know clearly and don't be soft spoken about it, I have no problem giving your position to a person who's more open to playing in this league with no problem. I don't need to take any sh*t from some loser who doesn't hold weight. Keep the negative crap out of here. This is a fun ass league, and I believe we'll have a lot of fun this season they'll be more strategy used to drafting as apposed to being lazy and letting Yahoo Rankings determine your choice. It's actually time for you to do your research and be a basketball guru instead of let fantasy experts think for you. Maybe this time you can actually win something in this league? How does that sound?

Rank 8 of 12, in the first fantasy basketball league I've ever participated on and getting knocked out in the playoffs whilst having the 2nd highest score in the entire league that week.

Yeah I did turrible!

Your pathetic attempts to get an advantage undermine this entire league.

Your scoring system is a joke, you are pulling numbers out of your ass basically I really have no idea where you came up with this and as soon as I try to suggest some resemblance of normality you attack me. It's absurd.

Even other people pointing out that your settings are bad isn't going to sway you because metrocard is always right.

That shet you pulled with Datprince was ridiculous, pure asshatery. I don't do stuff like that. Who's the child here?

And.. I finished higher than you last season, even with what most would say was you cheating basically.

Busted your **** wide open in the 3rd place game.

So you don't bring the weak stuff this season k.

8th place?
Like I said.
Do you research.
Try harder.
Preform before.
Then you'll have a mouth to cry and shout.

Right now, you have nothing to speak about especially about the standard system because you sucked terrible under that system also. Learn how to utilize a system to its full potential before you advertise it.

This new system has a lot of logic to it even more than the one you failed in, but obviously you're full of hate and ignorance to see any of it.

Nothing was pulled off.
It was a trade attempt.
Asshatery? I'm sure you're a ladies man.
You talk about children so much, I worry if you have a pedophilia fetish.

I was talking about smokes who failed last season in complete fashion, almost as bad as the Prince.

As for you, you got lucky that week. You were weak the entire season, a low seed team who got hot the right week. I was bored dominating the first couple of weeks, trading LeBron, Bynum and a lot of guys to mix it up and excite the league a bit. For you to talk smack is laughable since your team was weak majority of the season.

Now you have to preform at your best, little man. You little fat man. You are my target, every time I play you; you will cry daily as the scoreboard increases daily in a complete annihilation of your poorly managed inferior squad. I promise you will cry and shout "cheater" like the loser you will become.

You picked the wrong rival.


By the way folks, this is just smack talk.
Nothing personal.

Man, I can't wait to wax these punks in fantasy this season, I'm about to move them to my division so I can get more matchups and terrify them more on an occasional basis. Stress them and acquire any player they want off waivers.

Complete havoc and make their experience putrid and horrifying.

Yeah my overall league performance was poor since I didn't have a clue how anything worked the first few months, wasn't even aware you could swap players on a daily basis.

The final month I outplayed you in every week. My score in the playoffs was higher than any weekly score in recent memory for you.

My post is ignorance? Dude I'm about to expose your ignorance in ways you'll be discussing with your therapist. Stay tuned.

Comparison of the numbers side by side last years standard fantasy scoring on the left vs the proposed scoring system on the right. N/A indicates it is an unused category for that league.

PTS: 0.5 vs 1.5
FGM: 1 vs 1
FGA : -0.45 vs -0.5
FTM: 1 vs 0.5
FTA: -0.75 vs N/A
REBS: 1.5 vs N/A
DREB: N/A vs 2
OREB: N/A vs 2.5
3PT: 3 vs 3
3PTA: N/A vs -1
AST: 2 vs 2.5
STL: 3 vs 2
BLK: 3 vs 3
TO: -2 vs -1.5
FOULS: N/A vs -0.5
EJECTIONS: N/A vs -1
GAMES STARTED: N/A vs 0.5

So last year a made bucket was worth a total of 1.55 points now it would be worth 3.5 points. Almost 130% increase in value.

A free throw was worth 0.25 points, now it would be worth 0.5 points. Another 100% increase in value.

A 3 pointer however goes from 4.05 points to 6 points nearly 50% increase in value.....

First problem:

I did the scoring system like this because it's as balanced as I tried to make it. Favors defensive players, assist guys, help defenders, centers who block shots, 3pt specialist, and offensive guys.

Apparently this favours 3 pt specialist, apart from the fact that a free throw and a normal field goal have been given a much larger role in this years suggested scoring.

Moving on...

An assist however goes from 2 to 2.5. A 25% increase. Second problem, any player who was getting a fair few points from their assists has been devalued. Even though metro states that this scoring system "favours assist guys" I start to think at this point he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

But wait, there's more!

A steal apparently is now worth less! Steals go from 3 points a pop down to 2. A -33% straight decline in value.

But metro, your scoring system "favours defensive players" doesn't it? Oh but I forget that it also favours assist guys, help defenders, centers who block shots, 3pt specialist, and offensive guys. So pretty much any player in the league? Just as long as they don't steal the ball.

A rebound gets the same treatment as an assist going up by 25%. Another stat devalued compared to scoring.

Blocks stay the same with 0% increase. Another stat devalued compared to scoring.

While nearly every other positive stat has increased (apart from steals for some completely unknown reason, even to metro probably), and thus the negative points should also increase to counterbalance this, turnovers are apparently less of an issue this year.

Turnovers go from -2 to -1.5. Inexplicable.

Further, FGA take the most pointless, miniscule increase from 0.45 to 0.5, further enabling better point outings from lower FG% scorers, because it has not increased to balance the increase in points from scoring.

For some reason you've added fouls (lose points because your team had a foul to give), ejections (pointless) and games started (equally pointless).

Your system does the complete opposite of what you supposedly intended it to do. All it does it make scoring points more and more important, gives less of an impact on poor shooting, and less of an impact to every other fundamental aspect of basketball.

I can only conclude from this, that you are so emotional that you have just been spouting nonsense for the last 2 pages in an effort to be right here.

Yea a trade attempt with a player who hadn't been active all season smh.

Anyway, the above is all v dramatic.

also there should be some kind of prize like a custom title or signature or bright Orange and Blue same font or something really unique for the winner and maybe for the 2nd and 3rd place too.

Yea...we know. You finished 8th. Barely got into the playoffs. Don't make excuses. You had a crappy season.

Smokes, you can't win a debate with me. Heres why.
First of all, you got the categories wrong. Steals is 2.5, same as assist.
I also take away a -1 from 3PT Attempts, you need to recheck the entire stat category because you wasted an entire post on nothing. All your % values are invalid.

You point is weak.
You say my system values a variety of players.
It's a fair system them. Rebounders, Dimers, Scorers, and Defensive players all have value in my system.
No debate to that.

I didn't know the turnovers from 2.0 to 1.5 is such a big different for you to cry about especially when you have no point to this.

A free throw does not equal a FG made.
This is where the entire standard system fails.
Zero basketball logic.
League average for FG% is 45%
League average for FT% is 75%

FG's are harder to get, especially going against a defense.
Getting to the free throw line isn't easy either, but floppers like Blake Griffin and Paul master the art of it. Still, a free throw made and a field goal made do not share equal value. That's maxed out profound retardation and where the standard system ignores basketball logic.

I feel like little smokes here wants just to play according to Yahoo stats value and not actually follow the NBA game. He's never been bright in that side of the field, but then again it doesn't make sense since he was one of the worst players last year.

Rebounders get no love in the standard system. Offensive rebounding is not even a stat. It makes no sense since offensive rebounds are a critical stat in the game. Rebounding in my system is valued for it's important to the game. A rebound is more important than a steal. Teams who rebound more tend to be more successful.

The standard values do not correlate to the game of basketball. They're just based of the scarcity of the stat. If a stat is rare, then increase the value for it. But there's no basketball thought behind it. It makes the fantasy league artificially and least realistic. My league isn't about that, and if you've been a member on this site who hasn't seen basketball logic too well, losing many debates to many; with me being one who served you the most amount debate smashing in the past years.

Ejections, I was thinking about increasing the negative for it. If your player gets ejected and you don't know about it, you're a bad manager. I don't think its important but I do it'll make things interesting

Starters > Bench players. Anyone who has a starting role in the league is of value. This will keep fantasy members updated on depth charts and who's starting or even lost their starting role. This will very well be a interesting stat to keep track of.

Fouls, players should be deducted for fouls; most fouls happen when a defender gets beat or can't stop a shot of his opponent. Fouls are also controversial and should matter. When you're watching a game, and you have Tyson Chandler on your team, he makes a good defensive play but it gets called a foul...you want to be home sitting on your butt saying "Thank god those fouls don't count in fantasy, really would of screwed me up". We need more basketball analysis. Do your research, stay away from turnover prone and foul prone players, and have a successful league. It seems like you won't be finishing better than 8th this year, especially since theres no DaPrince in the league.

This was a terrible post on your half. You went on to say I'm going to need a therapist, but got most of the KOnline Stat Category wrong. It could of been an average post if you got the information right.

I'm not surprised. You can keep crying about the stats all you want, you're still going to lose and nothing is going to change in your favor because you've been acting like a senseless female about the entire situation. We appreciate you for bringing drama. Keeping the forum entertained and gives me someone to play around with.

That's the final change, unless iSayUgghh PM's me and wants me to change something up.

See thing is, iSay actually has bragging rights and ran the best team last year respectively. Where as Smokes was very close in battle with the inactive Prince, thankfully they had enough playoff spots for a sub .500 team. So for that, I'll let iSay make the call since he's the man of fantasy and knows what's best to make this a fun, productive and logical league, and that isn't you smoke.

Go kick rocks.

Yea fool, I gave you one of my best players out of generosity, which saved your season from complete fail. why are you complaining about the DatPrince thing? You should be one not to talk.

If I hear another complaint about the scoring system, your team is dropped. This ain't no democracy anymore. I'm not Obama papa.

I love how you just make stuff up.

Your the last person who would gift anybody players. You made alot of dumb trades though, none with me I might add. That's nonsense.

The real results have been posted. Let's move on.

Hot****ingdamn. Some classic KO right here.

Metros smack talking posts really got my competitive fire flowing. Can't wait for the season to start.

Rono and Smokes fielded talented teams and brought some highQ game. Rono took mad injury hits, ans Smokes no doubt has been preparing to up the level of competition this yr and dominate us. No doubt he feels he is, and will be, the best owner.

I won't front, I added two Cs last season to our scoring/lineup system. It was a game changer. It did spice things up and force ppl to think more critically and purely about the draft and nba players and their overall managing. I'll be honest n say it prolly wasn't best move though, , and I should just have tweaked the scoring in ways (vs a roster change).

So I can respect Metro for basically attempting to do the same. It seems this is basically what he said his reasoning is for the scoring?

I honestly can't see how he is gaming **** either. Since we're all subjected equally, and have equal information and opportunity based off that.

Just calling stuff how I plainly see it here. I haven't really analyzed the new controversial system (will later today so I know what's what) but my usual response in spots like these is that unless it somehow let's Metro (or whomever) game ****, or has some EXTREME flaw, is that it's just what's up. And it's time to prepare for battle and get ready to open liter sized cans of whoop ass on fools.

I'm partial toward this attitude, and it's how I approach sports and competition in general.

Don't wanna seem like I'm dropping ball on Smokes or Rono, but straight up so we can move forward in everyone's best interest and get down to balling, unless the system has a major ass flaw... I'm inclined to accept it.

If it needs some precise tweaks to prevent major scoring issues, let's get it done. But I don't wanna start messing w the whole system and trying to make it "perfect" at this point in the game.

Moving forward I would also propose this: whoever wins league makes all rules for next league, and has a certain date to create the league rules. If they don't for whatever reason, the buck passes on to 2nd place (and so forth).

The only way the rules can be amended once finalized by the creator, is if 2/3rds or more of the league votes against it, and it gets vetoed.

I'll take a real look at the sys and Smokes arguments against it in a bit, which deserve more than me just glancing them over. But overall my thoughts mentioned above are how I generally feel about these types of issues, and also how I'd go about stuff moving forward to prevent any ongoing disputes.
