• Wow! Day one- thanks to the two teams that already put down some arb money. It's a month-long process (and an important one in Ottoneu for balance), and please remember to throw around some cash! Also, in case you are a fantasy baseball person, I'm trying to get a "Six Picks" going. Fun way to pass the time (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/sixpicks/league/81)

• Aw, damn! One injury too many! Well, it was an exciting week, and the best team triumphed. Congratulations TProcess!

• Thanks! I got some good luck there on the final night. Great season all!

• What a great final game! Congrats!
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 31, 2025 9:35 AM
• Thanks Bob Ross, same to you! Should be a good final

• Congrats go out to our 6 playoff teams! Best of luck on your post-season runs!

• Sorry, wasn't clear below. You just copy that whole link and it'll bring you up to a league invite for a league called "League TBD". That is actually the name of the league: "League TBD"
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 3, 2025 12:40 PM
• Also, the big draw to Ottoneu for me was fantasy baseball. We have a $20 "starter" league going and are looking to fill a few spots. Brand new league so everyone is up for grabs. Check it out! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/processinvite?code=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6IjE3NTMiLCJJbnZpdGVyIjoicnVkZXNwYW5rd2Fsa2VyIiwiSW52aXRlcklEIjoiMTcwMDEwIn0=

• Last week of the regular season here before playoffs start! As always, been a fun, interesting season.
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 3, 2025 8:26 AM
• Steph, harden, and Butler are all available.
  Team Wood at Feb 5, 2025 11:38 AM
• The Fowl are open for business. If you think I can help you get over the top, let me know.
  Fragrant Fowl 🦆 at Feb 4, 2025 9:12 PM
• Happens in fantasy sports I guess. Have the 5th most points but like the worst record. About ready to bail out. Send over those trade offers if you are “going for the chip”. Young guys for old guys.
  The Hopsmackers at Jan 28, 2025 11:30 AM
• Thanks for the welcomes. And thanks for all of the offers. I will get a plan together and see what route that I want to take before the deadline. I do want to try and put out competitive line ups though so I will be taking that into consideration. Also - has the name of this league always been The 1st Ottoneu Hoops League?
  Fragrant Fowl 🦆 at Jan 16, 2025 7:19 PM

• Hey everyone, I just claimed Grassroots. Hope that was cool. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.
  Fragrant Fowl 🦆 at Jan 12, 2025 10:36 PM
• Yep, definitely makes it interesting. Battle of roster depth this week, anyone with a game is an auto-start.
  Trust the Process at Dec 9, 2024 11:37 PM
• Interesting week all: NBA cup time!
  The Hopsmackers at Dec 9, 2024 2:01 PM
• What a game! Nice win "kickin". Had myself up late last night watching Collin Sexton highlights. :)
  The Hopsmackers at Nov 18, 2024 9:22 AM
• Thanks all! Great first week. Need my guys to play better but we've got some time.
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 28, 2024 9:19 AM
• Ah thanks. That’s a discrepancy with Ottoneu baseball where you can see your own cuts.
  Jacking The Ball at Oct 24, 2024 7:16 PM
• I think you can’t see your own cuts in the waiver claim section because you’re not able to claim them. I can see him in there.
  Trust the Process at Oct 24, 2024 6:52 PM
• After cutting Herb Jones, I expected to see Herb available for a waiver claim but only DJ. Wagner is present. Any ideas?
  Jacking The Ball at Oct 24, 2024 5:58 PM
• I've read the rules (including that one) many times. I've just never seen anyone (including myself) impacted by it. And the site feedback was super vague about which roster rule was being violated. Forward I go and you get a shot at a cheaper Herb Jones.
  Jacking The Ball at Oct 24, 2024 3:20 PM
• It's a prevalent rule across Ottoneu (I take it you're new here). If that's the case, might be helpful to give the rules a once-over: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/help/rules
  Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️ at Oct 24, 2024 2:48 PM
• Thanks. That is a really unfortunate roster rule, at least for me in this situation. I just cut a $1 player which actually made things worse for me.
  Jacking The Ball at Oct 24, 2024 2:17 PM
• I recommend Tatum. He should get you legal. 😏
  Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️ at Oct 24, 2024 2:13 PM
• You need to have at least $1 for every roster spot up to 25. You are even on money, but in theory you need to have $2 extra dollars as you only have 23 players rostered. Thus, you'd need to cut $6 from your current roster to become eligible ($4 for the 2 roster spots plus the roster spot you'd create by cutting someone new leaving 3 spots and at least $3 available).
  Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️ at Oct 24, 2024 2:12 PM
• Can someone help me understand what roster limit I am over? I cut a player but I'm still seeing myself as over roster limits (without an clear indication of the issue to resolve).

• Playoff reminder:
  
  Hi all. Just a reminder we have six teams that can make the playoffs in this league. The three division winners are in automatically, and then the next three best records. If there is a tie on records, the highest point total is the tie breaker.
  
  Good luck this season! Fun auction.

• Hi All. I have some last-minute family challenges that are going to keep me from the draft. No need to postpone, but if anyone knows a good surrogate drafter, please share the name so I can add them to my team.
  Jacking The Ball at Oct 13, 2024 7:11 PM
• Hi All: we will see you at the draft, tonight, at 8pm EST, 7pm CST. Good luck to all.

• Anybody looking to add another league? This one has one team left to be claimed. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/47/team/365 IT has AD, Steph, PGeorge, CJMcCollum, others. Available for now on the claim team tab.

  The Hopsmackers at Sep 17, 2024 10:06 AM
• Hi all, I'm Greg, I just picked up Bob Ross in the Paint, looking forward to a fun year!
  Bob Ross in the Paint at Sep 16, 2024 1:21 PM
• Looks like 3 teams available to claim?
  Earl's Pearls at Sep 16, 2024 9:49 AM
• Well, the Pacers is up for grabs again. It had looked like we had an owner there but that team has been "abandoned" and put out for anyone to claim. If you know someone who want to join up, let's make it happen. ~ Hops
  The Hopsmackers at Sep 16, 2024 9:32 AM
• Get those keepers in and make those trades. A little under 2 weeks until the keeper deadline.
  The Hopsmackers at Sep 3, 2024 11:18 PM
• Awesome! Welcome to the group!
  The Hopsmackers at Aug 29, 2024 8:08 PM
• Hi. I picked up the Benchwarmers team. I'm excited to join your league. Please let me know what players you have interest in for trade considerations before the keeper deadline. Thanks!
  Jacking The Ball at Aug 28, 2024 2:04 PM
• About a little more than a week left for arb. Get those $’s in!

• Congrats to Zion on an awesome win and an amazing season! 22,000 + points is pretty impressive.

• Down to the “final four”. Best of luck to everyone still playing for a “chip”. ~Hops
