Wow, quite a breakdown! But like I said after "My Centennial Top 3 Lists" (181085.20)

I consider my team an offensive powerhouse & would appreciate everyone else do the same. Thanks.

My Great 8 Predictions would be:
1. Lovable Losers
2. Hunterkirualeorio
3. Raleigh Roughriders
Then a moderate drop-off for the next 3 slots.
4. Milwaukee Lethargy (11-12 wins) / 5. Contortionists (11-12 wins, but miss on PD)
6. Purdue Boilers
7. The Blue Stars (If no further acquisitions)
8. UCR Highlanders

Ahh yes, my mistake...I must have been thinking of some other team. For some reason I thought you scored <1,800 points last season, but my memory is not so good.

If there is a drop-off, it's not very big and it comes after the top 5, not the top 3....but that is only my opinion...

Yea I don't really have a plan, I have a ton of $ so I might reload and try to stay up. Definitely planning to buy a young Center or Power Forward.

Hmm, swore I scored > 2800 points. Maybe it just seemed that way? Regardless, I have a new high power offense in place this season! Instead of a backup being the leading scorer (true story last season) a starter might. Novel idea, i know. Game 1 my starting SG lit it up for 12 points on only 23 shot attempts!! (ok, please ignore the backup guard with 30 pts)

Oops, meant to include another drop-off between 2nd and 3rd place. I think 1st and 2nd will be about equally dangerous. Then a slight drop-off to 3rd. And another to 4-5-6.

Hunterkirualeorio will be good again for sure. But think that with your new $100k center, you'll at least challenge for 1st. Already you picked up 1 extra win for your team, and 1 extra loss for him vs. last season. Both of you are a full step above the rest IMO. I put Raleigh Roughriders 3rd, based entirely on them getting 14 wins last season. Not sure at all how strong they really are. Have the next 3 teams maxing out at around 11-12 wins. All of which are another 1/2 to full step down in terms of how dangerous they are.

Nice preview, love the Harrell mention.

Hopefully the guys im training will follow in his footsteps in making some clutch shots in big games. With the introduction of the player salaries floor I'm considering trying to avoid relegation later in the season. Will see, trainees still need a lot of work to be able to hold their own as starters and I'd hate to spend on a positions I'm building for.

Great workup Fiddy,
I think you have it pretty much correct. Nice to be in a league with managers that take to time to evaluate and then destroy you :) Should be a fun season.

Actuall all-stars

Big 8
PG: Rocha, Abril
SG: Abu-Mansour, Serre
SF: Ricker, Havens
PF: Bdeir, Keeler
C: Soltani, Picart (Fiddy's call: Gattoni, transfered out of league)

Great 8
PG: Nikou, Perez (out of position, Fiddy's call: Richardson)
SG: Cardenas, Wada (Fiddy's call: Perez, allstar at PG)
SF: Barrow, Dusak
PF: Garabalde, Smeros
C: Zito, Capoeira

I think that's actually pretty good predicting! 5/10 exactly right, 2 backups, one out-of-position backup, one mulligan, one wrong (Richardson came in 3rd in PG voting so he fell short of swapping Perez's spot).
