W: Yo, can spare 5-10 minutes?
N: Sure
W: Doing the interview ritual
What is your first impression on the draft?
N: Which league ?
W: Both
N: For the auction league which is the first time we done it its pretty interesting how the strategy is gonna pan out
I did the drop as much $$ on the studs which I spent on wade cp3 kobe and bosh
but after that im left with spare parts as masta adoe said
The roto league u know what my impression is, getting 11th pick, wasn't much interest going into that draft
especially after missing the draft time because after paying $20 for the connection
W: yeah i know exactly that feeling, i had 10 pick this year, 11th pick last year and 10th pick the year before that.
must be a new record spent for drafting night
N: Well I played fantasy 10 yrs only got top 3 pick once, beat that
W: Seem like the snake has been unkind to you. very unkind
who do you think is the steal of the steal of the draft?
N: I like my kobe for $39 bid, but after the wrist injury today after a divorce, not so much anymore
he might hurt that wrist even more now that he's single again...need to help himself more masturbating lol
W: Hahahaha
how bout other than your own?
N: Greg Monroe @ $8 is nice
I'd outbid that but I was on max bid already
and Deandre@ $10
of course it was before the clips trade, i think Deandre should be big this yr
for roto perkins@11th round seems like a steal
i saw him play, he's slim way down and seemed to fit okc's playing style
W: If you can repeat the draft, what is the ONE thing you would do differently? ( i know you mention quite a bit earlier, but keep it to one please)
N: I'd prolly draft amare instead of dwight (stupid autopick)
W: Not to put salt into your wound, but do remind me to buy you lunch if I won ALMOC because of Amare :p
N: Who would u took if amare was not on the board ?
W: to be honest that would be a headache
maybe josh smith?
who do you think had the best draft night in both league?
N: Roto i dont see any standout drafts, yours is the best i believe
with al jeff and amare to compensate curry as ur keeper
W: Thanks, how bout COMLA?
N: I think adawn is quite scary there with dwight and westbrook
plus nash can break out anytime
or break down hahah
W: Quite true for nash LoL
any last word for fellow managers or the blog readers?
N: please be active and remember that its a game that will keep our friendship and common interest going in a positive way.
W: Wise word masta nick
thanks again for your time
N: I'm off thx for the interview, good season ahead, cheers

| Nick Hefner with the Playboy Bunnies |
And then we also have the interview with kofu who is the manager of iFoe and iWin, who was also the last year champ for the both leagues.
W: Let me know when u can spare 5-10 min for our annual interview
F: I can do it now if u're available
W: Cool
Here we go
What is your first impression on this year draft?
F: Definitely far more competitive. I can tell easily that the quality of the managers can be rated top 10 % in the world. And no, it's not overstated. We are ready for world level competition now. Are there any world fantasy cup exist?
W: How do you feel about auction and snake draft?
F: I equally like them. In auction, since this is our first time, I think lots of manager still trying to figure out how to maximize their strategy. Although I think it went really well. Part of the reasons are it's meant for point league. On the other hand, it would be really hard if we do auctions in roto, specially for the first time. There are no metric to measure the value of each players.
W: Yeah I agree auction are for advance :)Among all your players in almoc & comla, which one do you like the best in terms of draft ranking & $ spent?
F: Felton ($14) and Boozer ($11) for COMLA. None for ALMOC
W: Speaking about almoc, As you said it a few days ago, you don't like your almoc draft which is very rare. Care to elaborate why?
F: I focus too much on my excel, and less time on news. So I don't know how's the latest depth chart look like. I don't even know rookies name except Kyle and Fredette. In addition, heading for the draft day I thought I would have time do some research while waiting. But no, the draft just went far to fast. I remember it took less than 5 seconds to pick 1st-4th.
W: William Pranoto: This year did went quite fast on the draft, snake almost felt like auction to me (in terms of the speed)
Which team you think did the best draft on COMLA/ALMOC?
F: Blueduck has the most balanced roster, but that doesn't mean that he's going to beat me. Hehe
W: How bout comla?
F: I like mine :)
W: I know, how about other than yours? :p
F Yours looks scary too. Specially if lopez can be double double
W: If you can repeat any draft, what is the ONE thing you would do differently?
F: Not picking up center on 4th and 7th. Including keeper, I pick 4 consecutive center from 4 to 7. Big mistake
W: I drafted consecutive big guy from 1st to 4th. So I know that feeling
F: Haha
W: Who is the steal of the draft? (Other than the one in your team)
F: Wesley Matthew for $14 for COMLA and Chris Kaman at 13th pick for ALMOC
W: Yah good answer, some said those players too
Any last word for the fellow managers or our blog readers?
F: You are going to see the first back to back dual-champ this season. Consider ur self lucky u can be part of history :) hehe
W: That's a warp, thanks a lot kofu
Have a great honeymoon and don't play fantasy too much :p
You can always win fantasy every other year, but only one honeymoon :p
F: I have no keeper next year (yet). I think this year could be my best chance to do it
Thanks for doing this dude
W: Its a pleasure
