Thomas - > Mitchell
Miller - > Jalen Johnson (prep for next week)

Leaves :-

Hope to bench both Holmgren & Thompson

Trade out Doncic and try and upgrade Sasser to someone reasonable

Mobley
? , J Johnson
Tatum , Wemby / Holmgren

Be back in a week
Late tweak

Not Maxey's day. Lucky to get to 20. The alternative I was tossing up was Doncic and that's not going well either.

Stoked with Toppin. Best game this season. Mays is doing well also.

Benched Ausar on a 3 and he destroys it.

Only real regret is not owning SGA. My side would look completely different if I did. But it's on days when the captaincy decision wasn't easy, that he would have made it that.

All in all. There's 5 days left in the week.

Damn me reading the news and changing my Embiid captaincy, albeit wasn't worth the risk of him missing!

Thompson beastly game is nice. Robinson should cash flow with another good score. I'm going to pretend that Doncic score is not there and instead embrace that at least I didn't captain him, making Giannis look great which is, well, something.

Haliburton keeps rolling, such a shame the 2 game stuff forces you trade the guys you like out even when they're flying!

Obi flying also is great for those holding, with only 1 more game this week might be a decent trade in play next week for a quick cash grab.

Will be very interesting to see which combo comes out on top. Close to level after one game each. Keeping a very close eye on Coulibaly this round as potential coverage for A Thompson.
Advantage Barnes and Mitchell with the DeRozan news, although it would have been interesting to see which way I would have jumped with captaincy between Doncic and Davis.

PG is going to be tempting next round ...
Luka replacement next round to bring Daniels on field and push A Thompson to the bench. Looks like DeRozan will make way for Jokic via Miller and Williams if I wish to keep Davis and push Chet to the bench. Could use a boost to turn Maxey and Miller into ? and ?, given the only guard positions will be Daniels and George so far.

Definitely right up there. Jokic in a lock for mine, George definitely going to be a very tempting option for Doncic and see if any rookies demand selection. Harden and Kawhi at least watchlist worth also. Pelicans throwing a ton of awkwardness into the equation.

Sooked about it a few times but I do wish the games per week wasn't such a pivotal factor. Made me think of a fantasy league I was in years ago where you had 36 minutes (iirc) per position on the court and would set the order of players to fill it. Reckon it would be a much better way of running a DT based competition. Not sure how you'd do the specifics (say where a player plays 4 games how do you apportion the score) but reckon it could be a cool system that would enable the starting picks to actually matter and nailing breakouts to be more than a week to week proposition. Added bonus that some of the per minute specialists could throw some real strategy curveballs out there as well.

Might be better served until they are on double fours, but Dejounte Murray is one I am keeping my eye on. Largely because I have him in the lock-in Sleeper League. 41 DT points today although T Young was unavailable.
