Good luck gents in the final....

When is the date for keepers? If it was today, I would keep:

John Wall, Al Jeff, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and either Lowry or Bynum.

[Michael]

Bynum.

[Nick]

poor dog... i should throw him a bone... trade you Boozer for a half eaten apple, and you can keep him

[Rodman]

Looks like I picked a very good week to sign up Roy Hibbert.

[Shezza]

Bynum is a beast.

Alternatively I have Lowry, who should be a beast next year provided he gets healthy.

[Rodman]

Don't listen to them, Shezza.

I'd be keeping Bynum. This league is shallow so even if he looks like giving you nothing again next year you can easily cut him and replace him with someone productive. At worst he's an 18/8 guy when healthy.

[Shezza]

I just went to pick up Rose, thinking I was sneaky and brilliant.

Damn you Millsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michael]

At what point do I need to take over KW's band of miscreants?

[Shezza]

Take over them now Mikey C so that you can pick keepers or play with the waiver wire like Millsy just did....

E.g. Rondo.

[SubLime Green]

I offered a trade to Luffty/Schifty that I think will strengthen their keepers for next year. Are we allowed to make 'off-season' trades or is there a trade deadline?

[SubLime Green]

Damn you Millsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw how quickly he got snapped up.

[Shezza]

That's a good question.

Also - we need a keeper nomination date. I suppose you should be able to trade until the keeper nomination date.

Can we trade draft picks?

[Rodman]

I can't think of the best way to implement a trade/signing deadline.

I'm figuring the best way to do it is to just maintain our rosters and then nominate our top 5 on the eve of the next draft.

So should I assume that Irwinfletch is not playing?

Sounds good to me. So no trading after the Grand Final then?

No. I'm saying that we can keep trading + signing up until the draft, and then when it comes time to draft we all announce our 5 untouchables.

How does everyone feel about trading draft picks? From a League Manager perspective, I think it's going to be a little too much hassle to be worth my while, but I'm easily swayed if everyone is for it.

[Shezza]

Ok. I'm in support of that.

[Rodman]

I'm loving LeBron's absence.

If Dwight has a big one against the feeble Mavs frontline then the Colts could be in serious trouble.

[Michael]

The Sock Manacles are go!

[Shezza]

Nice!!

There probably should be some sort of rule to stop people giving all their stars to another team on the eve of the finals if they can't make it, but I think we can probably just trust people not to do that kind of thing.

The trade I offered to Schifty was Steph Curry, Mike Conley Jnr., Brandon Jennings and Klay Thompson for Kevin Durant. The idea was to give him 3 pretty good (Top 40) keepers as well as Steph Curry (4th) to go with Tim Duncan in exchange for Durant. He messaged me back and said he didn't know much about the NBA and would go with whatever Luffty said.

That's the kind of trade I was thinking of, so let me know if you think that shouldn't be allowed to happen.

So should I assume that Irwinfletch is not playing?

I'd say so. He is the only team who hasn't made a single move in the FA all year.

I'm happy to keep an excel spreadsheet of the draft order and change it based on trades involving draft picks if you want.

I knew this would happen when the streak ended. Not panicking just yet though, still 15 days to go.

[Michael]

Sublime Green, is there any way you can arrange to send Steph Curry my way? He's my boy.

I personally wouldn't make that trade, because the league is shallow and players similar to Klay and Conley can be picked up on the waiver wire (I picked up JR Smith, for example). I wouldn't really have a major problem with that trade going down, but I think you should probably wait until the finals are over.

If you're willing to keep tabs on traded draft picks, be my guest.

Also, does anyone who of someone who could replace Irwin?

[SubLime Green]

Sublime Green, is there any way you can arrange to send Steph Curry my way? He's my boy.

I'll have a look at our rosters but I will probably wait until after the Final with Rod is over before making any trades.

Would you be willing to trade James Harden?

[Shezza]

I just looked at the Sock Manacles roster. Not bad keepers at all.....

[Michael]

Let me think about it - I don't want to get all lamb-to-the-slaughter here.

[Michael]

I'm hopeful of having a spot in the play-offs bound and gagged next season.

[Shezza]

Sublime - I'll give you two of Lowry, Milsap or Anthony Davis for Curry?

[Michael]

Get your grubby hands off my Curry.

[Michael]

I'll trade two of Dirk, DeRozan and Chandler Parsons.

[Shezza]

I'll throw in someone else Sublime. Let me know.

[Michael]

You dirty Gazumping Dogg.

I'll throw Paul Pierce onto the pile as well.
