This poses an interesting problem. I assume the backcourt blackhole has a stronger pull than the front, because it has existed much longer and will often receive the ball first.

When people say ai's defense sucks really bad what does that actually mean? were other pg's destroying the sixers back then? I mean he used to drop 40 bombs on opposing teams night in and night out so can someone who watched a ton of sixers games explain this to me?

He put up the points because he had possession of the ball so much. If he didn't put up those points, the Sixers lost.

His defense is bad because he simply gambles on steals and is too small, or simply doesn't know how to stay with his man. He's also getting slower, so he's a huge liability on screens.

I think Nash is still a worse defender than AI so it's really just the offensive end that's going to kill you. This is an awful move for the Grizzlies.

For a team that's been bad for years they still lack a really interesting young prospect. Perhaps Marc Gasol? Too bad he'll be seeing even less of that ball now.

didn't they fucking learn last year with the Rookie-Sophmore problems that exist when you have only offensive talent :/

Actually they had it. In 2007-2008 Rudy Gay was an absolute fucking monster. A Rookie showing ridiculous scoring ability and he was already poised for a breakout. Then in 08 they drafted OJ Mayo who for all intents and purposes is another offensive animal. Gay slumped, Marc Gasol complained about their immaturity and the Grizzlies went to shit. Of course Marc Gasol was OK, and they never really let him do his thing

So they bring in AI and Randolph and expect things to get better. I'm not drafting any Grizzlies players this year because NO ONE is going to pass the fucking ball.

not at all. You'd be losing points because all of them just can't function together. You can have lots of offensive talent but if they can't play together they barely end up scoring and passing enough to matter in fantasy :/

Then add in they all suffer defensively so really why would you want to draft them except if you have no choice? V_V

Iverson has some business value left tho - selling his jerseys from bench during games for example and pouring Gatorade during time offs :D

I'm down for a TL NBA league depending on format ^_^

I dislike Roto and usually play H2H. However if you guys do it that way and can't find enough players to join I'd jump in.

I am open to either format. We could have a poll to choose between the main options.
