I was thinking the same thing. I'm the commissioner in another league there is such a setting. Wouldn't this make it much easier?

This will be an interesting upcoming season~ Good luck to all!
I tried and got this

There was a problem:
? Player is in a pending transaction. (Error #170)

under the new "league veto" rules I can't cancel the trade. It won't let me drop him from neo's team while the trade is pending.

i guess we have to wait for tip-off tonight. I think they're still finishing programming the site. As of yesterday the opp category only had @ for away games. I need to stick houston on my IL list to jump on the FA bandwagon.

some highlights:

The Hawks crack me up -- they're making a fuss about major cap space for next summer, only nobody in their right mind wants to play there. I mean, they had cap space LAST summer. Know what it got them? About 2,500 shots from Antoine Walker over these next six months. Has anyone ever gone 10-for-31 for 82 straight games? I think it's about to happen.

J-Kidd could have signed with the Spurs, the Nets promised they would remain competitive, so he stayed ... and then they broke their word with K-Mart and the Kittles-Harris moves. You know what? I would have done exactly what he did: Waited right before camp for knee surgery, then taken my sweet time rehabbing. Screw those guys.

Unfortunately, [Grant] Hill's ankle has been operated on more times than Dyan Cannon.

Just once in my lifetime, when this situation unfolds like with Vince and the Raptors, I want to see the team say, "You know what? Screw you. You signed a contract to become our franchise player, and now you don't want to live up to that obligation? Fine. You're sitting on the bench. Don't worry, we'll pay you. You'll get your checks. You're just getting a DNP for the next five years. We're making an example out of you. You will never play for us again. And you won't play anywhere else, either."

Congratulations to Isiah Thomas, who managed to construct an NBA team with the exact same problems as the 2004 USA Olympic Team.

Once LaFrentz gets hurt, rookie Al Jefferson will be getting big minutes at the 4-spot, which is good and bad -- good because he's an absolute stud who resembles the Young Moses, bad because he's completely lost on defense right now. And GP couldn't guard ME at this point.

Iverson, who could become the first player to win the scoring title and shoot under 35% in the same season.

Seriously, how many NBA teams know what they're doing right now? Three? Five? Have you ever seen anything like this? It's like handing $20 bucks to a little kid in a candy store, then watching him pick $80 worth of candy. There can't be a dumber group of executives in any walk of life. There just can't.

Thanks to realignment, the division champs get the 1-2-3 seeds in the playoffs, meaning A.) Indy and Detroit square off in Round 2, and B.) Miami gets easy draws for Rounds 1 and 2 (did you see the mess above?). As an added bonus, they'll be getting every call because the NBA will be doing everything possible to facilitate a Heat-Lakers Finals, even if it includes flying Dick Bavetta around in a private jet to referee two games in the same day.

The Anti-Boozer Argument: He screwed over a blind guy ... he could have spent the next 12 years playing with the next MJ -- winning titles, making dozens of ESPN Classic appearances, going down in history like Pippen and McHale did -- yet sold out for the cash ... they're replacing 80% of his numbers with Gooden and Varejo for one-third the price, so screw him.

Just from the natural aging process, it's safe to say that Ron Artest is probably 5-7% less crazy than he was last year.

They brought in Stephen Jackson to solve their biggest problem -- other than Reggie Miller, who's 55 years-old, everyone on the team was afraid to take The Big Shot last year when it mattered. Problem solved.

In other words, there's a solid chance that Darko could be selling not one but two championship rings on eBay in ten years.

Highlights:
Clippers... Just about any other time, you would blame Elgin Baylor and Donald Sterling here, but they were definitely double-crossed by Kobe and his agent last summer.

If the Sonics win 30 games or less, this will be the worst Sonics team in 31 years. In other words, this is going to be the worst Sonics team in 31 years.

Congratulations to Chris Mullin, who won the Wes Unseld Memorial "I Wish That Guy Was In My Roto League" Award for shelling out $200 million in contracts for Derek Fisher, Adonal Foyle, Troy Murphy and Jason Richardson.

Jailblazers... They draft Sebastian Telfair and his 500-person entourage to get tutored by Van Exel, Damon Stoudamire, and Damon Stoudamire's eight-foot bong.

Rick Adelman's "Ultimate Adelman: The 25 Most Memorable Playoff Collapses of the Last 15 Years" is being released by NBA Entertainment this Friday.

Imagine if the Jazz lured away Detroit's PA announcer this summer, then he started screaming "Youuuuuuuuuu-tahhhhhhh Bas-ket-balllllllllllllllll" 50 times a game as 20,000 Mormons sat there in shock?

Melo... Not since the Greg Brady cigarettes-in-the-jacket episode has there been a mix up with such a great guy.

if you haven't seen Yuta Tabuse in action, make sure you TiVo the next Suns blowout. I don't want to spoil it for you. Just imagine if you crossed Earl Boykins with a sushi chef, pumped caffeine into him and threw a uniform on him. Would you be interested to see what transpired?

Maybe Cuban is bipolar. Maybe he has amnesia. I don't know. But how can you give away the heart and soul of your team over money, then immediately overpay a con artist like Dampier?

Shaq and Kobe have their own teams. Should have happened two years ago. Maybe we needed a rape charge, multiple backstabbings and a controversial police interview to grease the skids, but it did happen. So what if Kobe has been revealed as a calculating, petulant, manipulative loner with a dark side? So what if he threw Shaq under the bus? There isn't a better running subplot this season then Kobe running his own team. Sure, watching him go down in flames would be almost as fun as seeing Qyntel Woods getting jumped by a pit bull.

Every time I wonder if the NBA ran out of ways to amaze me, we get something like Spree's "I've got a family to feed" quote. Who's better than Spree? First he chokes his coach, then he buys a yacht, now this. What a run.

You know what I like about KG? He won the MVP and nearly made the Finals, yet we barely heard a peep from him all summer ... except for when he inexplicably sucker-punched Rick Rickert in a summer workout, which was covered up in Minnesota faster than the Iran-Contra investigation.

If you're making a list of reasons why the Spurs will win the West this season, Duncan goes first. The Shaq trade goes second. Ginobili and Parker having an extra year of experience goes third. Team defense goes fourth. And the Brent Barry signing goes fifth. A distant fifth.

Here are the power rankings I was doing last year, they are calculated as the sum of each team's percentage of the league total in each stat category (except ejections), then the highest team is indexed at 100 and everything is compared from there.

League 1
Team Index
1 WHOA! 100.0
2 Tre II 96.8
3 ThisTeam Is Ok(keek) 96.4
4 Curly Larry Moe 92.5
5 Lights Out 90.9
6 YaoSter 90.8
7 NYK-Mengke Bateer 85.0
8 Nashing of Teeth (S) 84.6
9 Melo is a BBall God! 82.9
10 Phi Slamma Jamma 79.7
11 GS Warriors in '05 76.7
12 First Ejection 76.1

League 2
Team Index
1 Moe Larry Curly 100.0
2 Tre II 98.8
3 NYK-Mengke Bateer 98.5
4 Doesn't matter 97.2
5 Lights Out II 96.6
6 ILoveThisTeam(keek) 95.2
7 WHOA! 92.1
8 YaoSter 90.8
9 Melo is a BBall God! 88.5
10 I hate this team (S) 86.6
11 GS Warriors in '05 82.5
12 RoundMoundOfSuckage 81.2

So what did we learn this week?

- BaboonGuy (Tre II) looks like he is back and ready to "F us guys up" this year
- Whoever has Kobe "Charity Stripe" Bryant will dominate the FTM category
- If Lights Out and GS Warriors could hit the broadside of a barn just think how much more they could score
- League 2 seems like it has more parity
- I suck at trying to do recaps so I'll stop now and let Stark take care of the real one.
