Magoo Marjon invited me at the 11th hour and i almost begged off. Well, because of the fact that i already had three money leagues at that time, i was really considering of not joining. But because of the lure of Magoo (and the players/managers in it, the likes of Jason Webb, Mico Halili, Topex Robinson, Wesley Gonzales) i decided to give it a chance.
And trying to remember how it all began... The horrors of the autodraft! For the first round (9th) pick, Team Airball selected Shawn Marion! (How i rated him so high escapes me), i passed up the likes of Caron Butler, Al Jefferson and Deron Williams (who all missed ample time but might have been a better pick)... Anyway, i did quite well in the next 7 rounds getting Yao Ming, David West, Andres Biedrins, Kevin Durant and Troy Murphy among others.. However, i think the real reason i won this is with patience and just waiting out on somebody to make the wrong move (and being prepared with a high waiver) which leads me to my fourth advice...
4. WORRY BUT DON'T PANIC
On November 15 i traded James Posey for Mike Dunleavy hoping the Pacer will have an early return. However, on November 29 Lamar Odom was released to the waivers and i immediately grabbed him and dropped DunDun...
On December 6 i dropped Jamario Moon (Still a Raptor and still effective but with erratic minutes) and risked on Kellena Azubuike.
On January 4, i dropped Drew Gooden (the bug starting to errr bug him) and acquired Andrea Bargnani.
All of the mentioned players lasted 'til April 16, the last day of the regular season. The lesson? Be on the watch for managers who do press the panic button (Examples are the release of the likes of Odom and Bargnani, who had starter minutes all season long)
