• 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.

• 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.

• Hey All: Welcome "Grassroots" to the show!
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 1, 2024 9:14 PM
• The NBA regular season starts Oct. 22nd. Let's jam on some possible times to have our auction draft. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dGgKX60d
  The Hopsmackers at Sep 17, 2024 10:10 PM
• Hi Greg! Welcome! It’s a good (quiet) group. Thanks for playing!
  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!
  The Hopsmackers at May 22, 2024 6:45 PM
• Check out Niv’s end of the season thread for some good info on prizes and upcoming dates. (Link on top.)
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 4, 2024 9:50 PM
• Thanks to everyone for playing! Enjoy the offseason and the upcoming NBA playoffs.
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 1, 2024 8:41 PM
• Congrats to Zion on an awesome win and an amazing season! 22,000 + points is pretty impressive.
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 1, 2024 8:40 PM
• Down to the “final four”. Best of luck to everyone still playing for a “chip”. ~Hops
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 18, 2024 12:44 PM
• It is playoff time! Best of luck to the remaining teams.
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 11, 2024 11:51 PM
• Heading into the stretch run. Best of luck to everyone making that playoff run!
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 6, 2024 2:02 PM
• I am looking to acquire a star player or two before the deadline. Shoot an offer if interested.
  Team Wood at Jan 27, 2024 3:49 PM
• My Bucks getting rid of Griff midseason. Wow~!
  The Hopsmackers at Jan 24, 2024 10:07 AM
• Hey folks! Just wanted to say thanks for letting me try to play along with y'all for this season. I already messaged Dave, but posting here too. If anyone knows of someone who wants to take over my team please let them do so. It would only be fair to the person coming in that they have the time and attention to give to this prior to next season. Especially so then whoever has this team can make the moves needed to make it their own. I'll keep setting the weekly line-ups until any transition occurs. Good luck everyone!!
  Earl's Pearls at Jan 16, 2024 5:48 PM
• Hi All: I hope you had a great holiday break. I'm starting to get in some decent offers for Jason Tatum. As it is starting to appear the Hopsmackers franchise might be another year or two out, if you'd like him, make me your best offer.
  The Hopsmackers at Jan 4, 2024 12:31 AM
• Yeah I finally won! (~Hops) I hope everyone had a wonderful T-Day.
  The Hopsmackers at Nov 27, 2023 8:29 AM
• On your team page, just go to weekly view instead of daily view. You can set your lineup for the full week from there. When you set a lineup in daily view, it’s only for that day.
  Trust the Process at Oct 31, 2023 8:09 PM
• So I just noticed that once you move players to a starting spot they do not stay there. This something that is truly an every day roster setting. Sorry guys. I'll do the best I can but I think I may be in over my head here.
  Earl's Pearls at Oct 31, 2023 5:46 PM
• Hey, all! My name is Brian. I've played Ottoneu baseball and football since they launched. Love sports, but this one will be a challenge. I'm excited! I'm renaming the team from "Air Bud" to "Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️". Good luck to all!
  Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️ at Oct 20, 2023 5:23 AM
• Also the previous owner of "Air Bud" had to leave. Please welcome the new owner of that squad. ~Hops
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 20, 2023 12:00 AM
• Great draft everyone! The division names have been swapped up (per tradition). Also, as a reminder, six teams make the playoffs every year so make sure you set those lineups. Should be a fun, interesting season!
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 8, 2023 10:15 PM
• Thanks Trust for the heads up. And congrats! Cool they made the finals!
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 8, 2023 7:22 PM
• Hi all - just a heads up I now have a conflict tonight (my daughter’s soccer team made the final of their tournament on the other side of the state so I’m still going to be driving home when the draft starts). Going to try to make a pit stop at 8pm and maybe add a couple expensive guys in the first 20 mins and then call it a draft.
  Trust the Process at Oct 8, 2023 3:52 PM
• Gentle Reminder: Draft is this Sunday. See everyone there!
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 6, 2023 12:53 PM
• Oct 15th and Oct 25th (day after reg season) also got some votes. Let me know here in the chat or through messaging if those other dates work better. Otherwise Sunday Oct 8th appears to be “in”.
  The Hopsmackers at Sep 10, 2023 10:43 AM
• Welcome! It’s a fun, active , quiet (not a lotta trash talking) group. Great to have you aboard!
  The Hopsmackers at Sep 2, 2023 10:19 AM
• Hi all - I just claimed The Big Fundamentals. Looking forward to the season.
  Trust the Process at Sep 2, 2023 6:41 AM
• Looks like the party starts Oct. 24th. Why don’t we kick around some dates for when we’d like to host our auction draft. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/avZ4MjLa
  The Hopsmackers at Aug 27, 2023 7:44 PM
• Hey folks! Thanks for welcoming me to your league. And thanks in advance for your patience as I navigate this format. It's... different. Any help, tips, etc is greatly appreciated!
