Keeping Hamsters alive

What makes a good ham sandwich?
Bosh and Al with some KD on top?
What about a po-boy of Timmy, Iggy, and Humphries?

Players:
  • Chris Bosh
  • Avery Bradley
  • Shannon Brown
  • Tim Duncan
  • Boris Diaw
  • Kevin Durant
  • Derrick Favors
  • Devin Harris
  • Kris Humphries
  • Andre Iguodala
  • Al Jefferson
  • Jason Kidd
  • Brandon Rush
In a full 82 game season, do you keep Iggy?  Will Lopez be injured again, and give Humphries another big fantasy year?  Otherwise, a pretty pedestrian team.  How did you place 2nd?

Keeper Transporters

In light of Kyrie and Kobe's impending pay-per-view event...

Player

  • LaMarcus Aldridge
  • Matt Bonner
  • Marcin Gortat
  • Kyrie Irving
  • Lebron James
  • Cortney Lee
  • Mike Miller
  • Greg Monroe
  • Byron Mullens
  • Anthony Randolph
  • Jason Thompson
  • Klay Thompson
  • Russell Westbrook

James, Lebron - No question Magic Mike will keep this one, and may be proof positive that having the 1st pick in the draft will ultimately decide your fantasy fate, but who will be left for you to scrounge up in the 1st (4th) round of year three?

Irving, Kyrie - Magic Mike swears he's keeping Kyrie. After all that is the only reason why he's winning our Kyrie Keepers league. Its like having the logo as your GM.

Westbrook, Russell or Aldridge, LaMarcus - I'd guess that Aldridge is available in the 4th (1st) ground this year, but considering he's playing with a bunch of scrubs, will he pick up the slack, or will be the focus of everyone else's defensive schemes and take a hit in production?

WWMMD...?

Title Chasers?

“The one thing that bothers me the most is guys taking big pay cuts for a year to go down there and try to win a championship,’’ Bird told ESPN. “There’s a lot of guys who like to ride the coattails of the best, and they’ll take a pay cut just to have an opportunity to win that ring.’’ - Larry Bird

Nash to the LA Lakers...
This has got to be the best possible scenario for Kobe, a pass first point guard in a now shoot/score point guard dominated league.  But will baby Bynum grow up?  Greatest point on LA Talk Radio today, D Fisher should come back as a "young" PG to be mentored by Nash, the now elder statesman.  It solves all of the Laker's needs... get younger at the PG.  Haha!

Too Tall keeps Nash for sure now.


Ray Ray to the Heat...
The rich get richer.  I guess I'd much rather have Ray Ray shooting the 3 than Chalmers, although Chalmers did have a few big drives to the basket.  Did anyone end the season with Ray Ray on their team?  Does he instantly pick up another 1 maybe 1.4 per game?


If he were a Clipper, Stan would have picked him up for sure.

KKeeper Note:

Evil Twin Eddie and Magic Mike's Whang have added themselves as authors, where are the rest of you all?  It's not like being married and having kids (or being whipped by your girl) is any reason for you not to write something up.

The Asterick *

The end is near!

First, I must apologize for taking so long to take care of all of the keeper business. 2 kids ain't no joke. But then again, neither is getting married or having 1 kid so enough with the excuses and here we go...

The tradition has been to say a little som-som about all the managers and how bad all you are as GMs, followed by mad props for the big winner. This year however, with the lockout, the truncated season, and all the crazy life events that happened in our keeper league, you dont deserve any mention or props if you can't at least say ALIBT. Too Tall Tae came in at 7 out of 12 leaving 5 of you losers unable to even say ALIBT (this includes yours truly).

In order of most suck to least suck:

12 - Clipper Stan!
11 - Conflict of Eddie's Interest
10 - Rose Against the Transfers
09 - ElliSue's Island
08 - Dean of the Criminally Insane
07 - The Commishioner of New Lob City

06 - The Asian invasion! Linsanity! Too Tall Tae Yizzang! It must be boring in Michigan, cause you can say for certainty that you've out done the evil twins, I respect you sue and your commish. Maybe next year I'll do you dirty like David stern did the lakers and start pocket vetoing trades left and right.

04 - awww how cute... You guys got fourth place together, you almost monied together, but almost doesn't count, and almost is always never not good enough. But you can say without a doubt ALIBT. OPTIMUS PRIME FOOL = kwonye... Not quit prime yet. Wannabe Cuban = Dirty Sanchez (I think you could take down Skip Bayless too)

03 - CHOEzilla, the big thrilla from Manilla, calf man calf amazing. For those of you who don't know, I spent all of the first few weeks telling him his team was not viable, shows you what I know. Hopefully Dwight will end up in Jersey, and I can convince you the his numbers will suffer.

02 - Hamdunk like the silent assassin, just crept into the league and took 2nd place like it was nothing. From 5th to 2nd. You better watch out fellas.

01 - Magic Mike you like? I guess the trick is the get engaged (win fantasy) and get married (win fantasy). Seems like the logical choice is to have a baby (win fantasy?). Never in the history of keepers have we had a repeat winner, maybe you should pop out a baby and go for the trifecta... Wait is that... Eee-ur... Eee-ur... I think he's gonna make it happen.

If you're one of the big 3 winners, email me you're addy and the check will be in the mail!

Commish out!
