Fine with me. Abe? You game?

Yeah, sure. If Wailua really is cool with it. Wailua, send me a message if you have any special requests... I.e., draft Walton.

I sent Ghost my picks. I would like to try and make the pick myself if I can (want to check something on whatifsports first), but I don't want to hold things up.
Taking a break from the board. Please reference my last post for more details if you are interested.

Good. You were down to about 15-16 hours to make your pick.

Some people have better things to do at 8:00 at night than sit around a computer waiting for nerds to make picks in a fantasy basketball league.

Not me...but some people.

Well, it's literally narrowed down to a 10 minute window. If you don't have that to spare, you shouldn't have wasted everyones time in signing up in the first place.

Not you, but some people.

Does the MVP have to be chosen from the year they actually won the MVP?

Yes. If you choose Kobe, you have to choose 2008 Kobe. You can't choose 2006 or 2003 Kobe.

And remember, if someone chooses a multiple MVP winner, like LeBron 2013, all LeBrons are off the table. So, you can't pick LeBron 2009 or LeBron 2010 if someone else chooses a different LeBron first.

For round 12, is that ANY rookie year from ANY player......or only rookies of the year?

Any rookie from any player not taken yet post-merger.

It does not have to be a rookie of the year.

Next question. Round 2 might not be possible. There have only been 18 DPOYs and 4 of them are also MVPs (David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett). If all 4 of those players are taken in round 1, there won't be enough players to go around for round 2. There have only been 20 MVPs post-merger, so it's a very good possibility that this scenario will happen. What's our back-up plan if it does?

Shit, you're right. Well, if that problem happens, we can come up with a solution before we start round 2 tomorrow night.

DPOY or add in the runner up from each year also? I dunno.
