Fun season everyone. Looking forward to the offseason. congrats Inazuma.
Phenom Jones at Mar 26, 2024 3:46 PM -
Congrats to Inazuma for pulling out the win for the championship! If one of those made 3s was a miss, it would've swung to Team Feel! Shows how close these games can be.
The season officially ends on 3/31 - please be legal by then. I suspect arbitration will start on 5/1 again this year, but Niv hasn't posted the official calendar for the 24-25 season.
Looking forward to running it back with everyone! If for any reason you think you won't be back for next year, please let me know ASAP
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Mar 26, 2024 2:22 PM -
Championship week! Congrats to Inazuma and Team Feel for making it. Myself and Phenom Jones are squaring off for bronze. Remember that you can still make roster moves until 3/31!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Mar 18, 2024 1:52 PM -
games back underway tomorrow night! get those lineups set for the short week
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Feb 22, 2024 1:47 AM -
deadline is tonight!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Feb 15, 2024 4:27 PM -
Short week with ASB and trade deadline is Thursday!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Feb 12, 2024 12:56 PM -
The new deadline is now 2/15! Plenty of time to still make deals. You can see the discussion in the thread linked in the new banner - shouts to avdiaz of Team Feel and vernbabyburn of Everybody Acting Tough for sharing their thoughts https://community.ottoneu.com/t/basketball-trade-deadline-incorrect/13904
It's also reflected on the Calendar & Finances page: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/26/finances
IMO I should have sent a message about the deadline earlier and maybe caught that error in the process, especially since in my head 1/31 wasn't the trade deadline anymore (it's the baseball cut deadline and having them line up caused a headache in year 1 for basketball, iirc), so apologies from me that it wasn't caught sooner!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Feb 5, 2024 4:32 PM -
yeah that is not cool, I made trades in a hurry thinking the deadline was yesterday
Phenom Jones at Feb 1, 2024 8:26 PM -
:alert: that banner was incorrect and the deadline is the end of February! all you other contenders who jumped on deals, enjoy the extra four weeks of those players haha
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/basketball-trade-deadline-incorrect/13904
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Jan 31, 2024 2:22 PM -
Thankfully it seems like y'all, unlike me, can read the banner proclaiming January 31st as the trade deadline. In case you didn't, all trades must be accepted by 11:59:59 eastern time tomorrow!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Jan 30, 2024 8:07 PM -
Weird I set my lineup for the week on Monday and none of it took
Phenom Jones at Jan 14, 2024 2:26 AM -
Early start time tomorrow for the Christmas Day games! Get those lineups set!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Dec 24, 2023 7:01 PM -
Reminder that this week is a little funky due to the NBA In-Season Tournament! The quarterfinalists (LAL, PHX, SAC, NOP, BOS, IND, NYK, MIL) will have an additional game show up on the schedule after the first round of games is done. Those semifinal games will count towards the regular season.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Dec 4, 2023 6:48 PM -
Oops forgot the link about the payment https://community.ottoneu.com/t/payment-updates/13220/33
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 30, 2023 1:25 PM -
Week 1 in the books! Awesome stuff y'all.
It looks like the payment deadline will be extended again to help accommodate non-US customers, but please still hop on that as soon as you are able! LMK if you have any questions or issues
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 30, 2023 1:15 PM -
I'm seeing 6 players in your lineup on the page for your matchup (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/26/game/11357) - Curry, Thompson, Jokic, Grant, Murray, Zubac. If it isn't showing correctly on your team lineup page, I'd say post to the forums or email help@ottoneu.com. It could be a bug with the change in setting your lineup and how there aren't single day game caps for each position anymore.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 29, 2023 1:17 PM -
there's an issue with my roster. It says I have 6 games remaining. I have 5 guys in my lineup and it says I'm at 0 projected games remaining. Been playing on Otto for a couple years and never had this happen.
Phenom Jones at Oct 29, 2023 11:53 AM -
Games start tomorrow! Get those lineups set. It's a short week, but it should be easier to fill all the games now that you can play as many players as you want in a single night.
Also make sure you renew! Deadline is *next* Tuesday to do so and I'd hate to see a team abandoned after the season already started, so please take care of that ASAP. If you're having issues with it, there's some posts on the forums (https://community.ottoneu.com) about problems others have encountered. You can also email help@ottoneu.com. Feel free to reach out to me, too, and I'll help however I can.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 23, 2023 1:43 PM -
Two hours til draft! Please be on time - we'll have a grace period of 5 minutes for any stragglers though. Also please remember to make nominations. I'm happy to pause the draft if anyone seems like they're about to miss one, but would rather not do it constantly for anyone.
On another note, payment is live! https://community.ottoneu.com/t/payment-updates/13220/20?u=nivshah
It was pretty easy for me to get through it - just make sure your device's settings (not just the browser!) allow your location to be accessed by Ottoneu. If any has issues, feel free to email help@ottoneu.com or let me know and I'll send an email.
Happy drafting!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 18, 2023 6:05 PM -
Two days til the draft! FYSA I will be online for only the first 30-45 minutes of the draft. I'm working on getting a proxy manager to help out and if that doesn't work out, might try to hop into the draft on mobile for as long as possible. Morrison's Mustache has graciously agreed to be deputy commish for the night, so he'll keep the draft going in my stead. LMK if you have any questions!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 16, 2023 1:21 PM -
Wednesday the 18th at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern is the draft time! Everybody get ready!!!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 10, 2023 8:18 PM -
Trying to line up which draft date works best for everyone and will let you all know as soon as I'm able to nail it down.
I added times for the next two Thursdays since I'll now be available then. If everyone could add their availability for those dates to the whenisgood, that would be much appreciated! Maybe one of those will be the magic day
https://whenisgood.net/4jqtmqf
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 7, 2023 4:19 PM -
Awesome to have you! Noted on the preference to not do a slow draft - hopefully it's possible. Reached out to the managers who haven't filled out the whenisgood yet so hoping to have that info soon. Right now the leader is Sunday 10/22 at 5pm PST. I can try to add more times to the remaining available days, too
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Oct 2, 2023 1:54 PM -
Welcome to the league!
I'd also prefer to avoid the slow draft if we can get a date and time to work, but if nothing lines up I'm willing to try it.
Inazuma Infirmary at Oct 2, 2023 1:24 PM -
Hey everyone, stoked for the new season and for all the new managers we have this year! Really looking forward to getting started. As far as the draft goes, I have never done a slow draft and therefore don’t really know what to expect. I’m down to try one, but I’m also down to just do whatever works for the majority and find a proxy or make it work if I have to.
Team Feel at Oct 2, 2023 1:22 PM -
Trae Ball, could you open up the system to allow me to make cuts and get under budget? I’m open to drafting whenever is best for the group.
So Fresh So Clean at Oct 2, 2023 1:19 PM -
welcome aboard! looking forward to our draft.
i'd prefer to avoid a slow draft if at all possible, but i know we only have 3ish weeks until the season starts so willing to do whatever is needed.
Everybody Acting Tough at Oct 2, 2023 11:38 AM -
welcome!
Phenom Jones at Oct 2, 2023 10:52 AM -
I claimed the abandoned Buckets team. Looking forward to the season!
So Fresh So Clean at Oct 2, 2023 9:46 AM -
Niv is still working on getting it set up. The deadline has been extended to 10/14. You can follow this thread for announcements on this front https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-pay-for-ottoneu-with-paydala/13220/14
I’m still looking for a 12th manager. No bites so far. Also need a couple more responses on the draft times. I’ll be reaching out to teams that haven’t responded soon. Though it doesn’t look promising that we’ll line up for a time unless we line up proxy managers to handle the draft for individuals that can’t make it, so a slow draft is on the table as a solution.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Sep 30, 2023 11:31 AM -
Hey! Was anyone able to pay for the upcoming season? I can’t find a link for the payment
Shake&Bake at Sep 30, 2023 4:20 AM -
I've reached out to the new Bucketz manager a couple times now and still nothing. If anyone knows someone who would be interested, LMK. I'm going to mark the team abandoned over the weekend to give Bucketz a chance to respond and for us to line up a known replacement if he's out.
Payment renewal deadline is 9/30!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Sep 21, 2023 12:40 PM -
Cut deadline in two days! Myself and four other managers still need to get under $400
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Sep 13, 2023 7:41 PM -
Robert Williams, Klay Thompson, Jerami Grant and Khris Middleton available. Will consider offers on Zion and Curry as well.
Phenom Jones at Sep 11, 2023 7:56 AM -
Available in the next 48 hours for trade: Stars, but especially Jaylen Brown. Guards who should get to score a ton this year: FVV and Poole. Young guys with potential: Terence Mann, Pat Williams, Tre Mann, Bones, Reddish. Steal expert Caruso. Positionally, I have some depth at C, so I'll be listening on centers other than Kessler -- so Lopez, Plumlee/Looney, Collins, valued in that order. Very very unlikely to move -- Kessler, Lopez, Brunson, Vassell.
Morrison's Mustache at Sep 10, 2023 7:16 PM -
Hi all,
I will be stepping away from this league, sadly.
Too much going on, and next year will be absolutely crazy.
Out of respect for this league and how hard it is to run this type of roster, it's better I let go of this team. I sincerely won't have time.
It's been fun. Wish you all the best.
Miguel.
Otto Eight at Sep 8, 2023 9:34 PM -
Here is a whenisgood to fill out for when we want to do the auction draft! https://whenisgood.net/4jqtmqf
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Sep 7, 2023 5:27 PM -
The keeper deadline has been moved back to 9/15! https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-and-position-eligibility-change-for-2023-24-season/13217
ALSO and more importantly, Ottoneu has moved off of PayPal. I encourage anyone interested to follow the link in my previous message for more background. Moving forward, Ottoneu will be using Paydala. Here is a thread on how to use Paydala: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-pay-for-ottoneu-with-paydala/13220/3
It is currently requiring some (not all) users to provide some personal information for compliance and verification reasons. Please read this thread (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/concerns-re-personal-information-and-paydala/13221/10) on concerns about providing this info, why it's required, and Niv's updates on it. If you are a) asked for this information when renewing AND b) not comfortable providing this information and will drop out as a result, please let me know ASAP.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Aug 25, 2023 2:01 PM -
A few things:
1. We also have a new manager taking over Get Bucketz! Please welcome him to the league!
2. A little over three weeks until the keeper / renewal deadline! It will be the first Monday of September (9/4), which I think is a change from last season. Teams must be legal by 12am eastern time on that date, so 9pm on 9/3 for west coasters. It should provide a bit of a break for those of us also playing Ottoneu Baseball (it's trade deadline is 8/31).
It's been a busy summer and that's kept me away from trades, but I'm hoping to make some deals before that deadline!
Rules here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/help/rules
3. Niv has been working on some payment processor updates. Feel free to follow along and ask any questions in the thread here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/issues-with-paypal-5-20-2023/13070/20
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Aug 10, 2023 5:04 PM -
Hey everyone, hope the offseason is treating you well and every move an NBA team has made benefited your fantasy team.
Get Bucketz decided to leave the league so we have an open spot. LMK if anyone has a friend that would be interested in joining. The team has been marked as abandoned so anyone can claim at anytime, fwiw. Community post here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/1-basketball-manager-needed-25-categories/13124
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Jul 10, 2023 9:01 PM -
Yep, all good
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Jun 30, 2023 2:10 PM -
hey all new owner here. Have some experience with one other ottoneu league for the past 3 seasons. excited to get started. Commish, am I good to pay the renewal fee?
Phenom Jones at Jun 30, 2023 1:33 PM -
A little over one week left for arb!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at May 22, 2023 11:55 AM -
Arbitration is open! You have until June 1
Trae Ball for the Gafford at May 2, 2023 3:02 PM -
Be sure to check out the end of season thread: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-2022-23-basketball-season-megathread/13003
There are some updates for next season. Daily caps for positions will be removed (ie you can play all of your center games on one day if you wish) and the regular season will be 20 weeks instead of 22 so that the playoffs end in a better spot. Feel free to contribute to the discussion there in the forums!
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Apr 11, 2023 2:12 PM -
The 2022-23 season is in the books! Congrats to The Gobert Report on their championship win! Get Bucketz got second place and Morrison's Mustache finished third. Great season all around y'all!
The regular season is officially over on 4/9, so just a few days away. That means any auctions need to get started ASAP if you want to make any moves to set yourself up for the offseason. Once we're in the offseason, arbitration will start soon and before you know it trades will open up again and Summer League will be going on.
I would love to keep the crew together, but if you don't think you'll be around for next season, please let me know so I can start looking for replacements sooner rather than later.
Trae Ball for the Gafford at Apr 6, 2023 1:15 PM -
Showtime, it's been an honor and privilege to get to watch your poetry flourish as the season has gone on.
Everybody Acting Tough at Mar 27, 2023 2:36 PM -
I commend you, Showtime...but we're not done yet! BRONZE MEDAL BOUT BABY!!!
That semifinal tiebreaker was heartbreaking, second year in a row Durant was out for the playoffs. Almost like a pattern 😂 May the best team win!
Morrison's Mustache at Mar 27, 2023 1:31 PM -
Showtime, you're an absolute legend lmao
Inazuma Infirmary at Mar 27, 2023 1:26 PM -
Oh, fickle fate, how cruel thou art!
In fantasy basketball, we play our part,
We draft our stars with care and thought,
And watch them on the court, as they're fought.
But lo, Ja Morant didst make a choice,
To visit a club, and lose his voice,
He got himself suspended, for weeks on end,
Leaving us without a point guard friend.
Oh, Morant, how couldst thou be so blind,
To put thy pleasures before the game's grind,
Thy actions have cost us dear,
A loss in fantasy, to bring a tear.
But let us not be too harsh,
For mistakes are made, in life's large march,
Let us learn and move on,
To another week, with hope and brawn.
For in fantasy, as in life,
We must adapt, and strive,
To overcome the obstacles in our way,
And emerge victorious, come what may.
It was a great season...I had no business going into the playoffs, but I am going to blame Ja for not going into the finals anyway.
Otto Eight at Mar 27, 2023 1:24 PM
