I used it for Dynasty. It is not as good as a laptop or desktop but it was better than the alternative.
1 Hour!!
Hopefully we get some good attendance today.

Good draft guys. The live discussion is always entertaining.
My Depth Chart:
PG: Chris Paul (PG); Monta Ellis (PG,SG); George Hill (PG,SG); Jordan Crawford (PG,SG)
SG: Paul George (SG,SF); Rodney Stuckey (PG,SG); Nick Young (SG,SF); Jeremy Lamb (SG,SF)
SF: Kevin Durant (SF); Jeff Green (SF,PF)
PF: David Lee (PF,C); Ed Davis (PF,C); Thomas Robinson (PF)
C: Marcin Gortat (C); Al Horford (PF,C)
Feels a little Guard-Heavy. Anyone want Crawford, Young or Hill? Maybe for a C coming back.

D12 is the best fantasy center in the league and I don't have the depth lose him without getting a solid center back in a package. If you're making an offer keep that in mind. $50 to franchise him might be my move based on the offers I've received so far.
Pure Center, Agreed.
But in terms of players who are PFs but can play C; there are a few who contribute more.
Matt Buser has his Top 10 at: KLove, Aldridge, Al Jefferson, Howard, Pau Gasol, Al Horford, Cousins, Bynum, Ryan Anderson and Serge Ibaka.
With Horford and Gortat, I might be willing to package one of them and put something together.
I will be sending my offer shortly.

And still, compared with Gasol, Horford and Cousins, Howard is only the better fantasy player if you want to punt ft%. If you have a couple of reasonable freethrowshooters Howard will absorp part of their value.
I'll listen to serious offers for Wade, DWill, and Blake.

I'm not unhappy with my draft. Strategy again could be improved upon and there is absolutely no balance yet in my team, but with a strong core and the fact that 8/12 teams make the play-offs I felt pretty safe taking on some 'projects' and 'gambles' considering the relative ease in this league I'll be able to replace them from the waiver wire. Don't care about seeding; it's about running at top speed during the play-offs.
Either way, he's a top ten player and I'll just pay $50/yr going forward than to let him go for less than fair market value.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Howard can win you rebounds and blocks cats. He also gets steals, pts and FG%. He has the talent to become a decent FT shooter. He's also very young, so that only adds to the hope. I would never even consider trading him if not for his $50 price tag next season for me.
Just for fun and curiosity...
RMB (Random Mystery Baller) has the following stat line:
14.8 PPG; 5.14 RPG; 2.79 APG; 1.05 SPG; 0.56 BPG; 0.80 3PTM; .459 FG%; .780 FT%
What dollar amount would you place on such a baller?

Depends.
Is he a rookie going in to 2nd year? 2nd year going in to 3rd year?
Is he a former all-star clinging on and turning 35 this season?
What position does he play?
There are variables.
But I'll play along and say we are talking about a player in his prime and a wing. I'll go with $6.
For more fun and for more curiositySeriously track with me... It guarantee this will be interesting.
