Hey, I just couldn't resist sharing my awesome team with you guys. Heheh Anyways, I'm in a [pretty deep] 10 team, 18 players per team, head-to-head yahoo private league with a bunch of my friends. Take a look at my line-up... and you'll see why I am obviously way ahead of everyone, and standing firm in first place. = via draft = via trade = via free agency = too good to be true PG Marbury, Stephon SG McGrady, Tracy G Redd, Michael G Barry, Brent SF Marion, Shawn PF Brown, Kwame F Johnson, Joe F Bogans, Keith C Duncan, Tim C Blount, Mark Util James, Mike Util Williams, Alvin Util Dixon, Juan Bench Haslem, Udonis Bench Taylor, Maurice Bench Andersen, Chris Bench Ostertag, Greg Bench Rush, Kareem IL Malone, Karl Hehe! Alright, as I titled this post, it's my success story. So, I shall share with you how I aquired all those fabulous players. First off, I had the first overall pick [as I was the creator of our league], and with it I picked Tim Duncan. I aquired Tracy McGrady just before the season began, and right after the Antoine Walker to Dallas trade. My friend wanted to get rid of Walker so bad that he was looking to trade McGrady [can you believe that!?]. Here was my first trade [number in ( ) denotes the round which I selected the player]: Pao Gasol (2) + Eddie Curry (7) + Bonzi Wells (9) + Troy Hudson (10) for Tracy McGrady + Antoine Walker + Jon Barry Yes, clearly, the trade got me a leap ahead of everyone else. Not much later [still before the season], I grew warry of Lebron's Jumper [oh how foolish of me]... so, here's the second trade I made... Ron Artest (4) + Lebron James (6) + Derek Fisher (14) for Brent Barry + Karl Malone Okay... this took me a step back... but I love Brent Barry in fantasy play, because he's a jack of all trades. And, Karl Malone, he wasn't exactly that bad, before he got injured. And... how Lebron fell all the way down to the 6th round? Because none of us believed in the 18 yr old... and news of him not able to make shots was at its peak. Then, the season began, my team has been in first place since day 1. A month into the season, and after making countless trade offers, I finally pull off another trade... Andre Miller (5) + Latrell Sprewell (8) for Stephon Marbury I thought that trade was pretty even. However, as always, I love getting the best player in a trade. 2 for 1, 3 for 2, 4 for 3... I love making those type of trades. So I can pick up more sleepers via Free Agency. And then, just recently, I completed two new trades that prompted me to make this post... first, a small trade; second, a pretty big trade Carlos Arroyo (FA) for Leandro Barbosa and... Antoine Walker (Trade) + Manu Ginobili (13) + Tayshaun Prince (15) + Leandro Barbosa (trade) for Shawn Marion + Kwame Brown + Mariuce Taylor Hehe... :bigthumbu That's it, and my success story continues... I think it's pretty hard for anyone to come up with something close to what I have. Cheers!

Good thing none of them has turned against me. It gets boring after a while, being in number 1... with no competition... oh wells, I'll take that kind of boredom.
u pulled some good deals, really surprised at the first one, where one of your friends gave up T-MAC and walker for really just gasol (other guys weren't that important), was he on drugs? well anyways good luck w/ the rest of the season man.
