Nate: The game had you picking 11th and my pick (from Seattle) as 12th. I didn't do a trade to correct that because the remaining players on our draft lists differed, but, if you want, I'll give you the $74,500 cash to make up the difference in draft spots.

FA Day 4 and Round 2 of the draft will be held on Monday night (probably by Zev, but e-mail me your draft picks just in case). The draft order in Round 2 is:

1. Hartford
2. Cleveland
3. River Cities (from Danville)
   
4. Houston
5. Seattle (from Walla Walla)
   
6. Los Angeles
7. Los Angeles (from Saskatoon)
   
8. Brooklyn
9. Hickory
10. Los Angeles (from New York)
