Some minor changes

Not sure how I can get both Jokic and Doncic in week 2 probably have to settle with one, currently 1.6 mil in the bank, probably use the 1.6 to upgrade George to a better rookie

Mate I'd go D*ck to Sheppard and Miller only plays three next week whereas most teams play 4. Maybe Bane down to someone a bit cheaper (I like Portland's opening round so I'm going Simons (Ayton is also out on Friday which helps)) and upgrade Miller? Means you don't have too many eggs in the Memphis basket as well. A better rookie for George could be Buzelis.

Or if you’re set on Miller you can definitely swing him despite having three next week and then have more cash for Jokic/Doncic by downgrading Banes to Simons?

My first Team, any thoughts welcomed.

Not sold on Sheppard don’t see him getting big minutes for the Rockets where’s Gradey D. is most likely a starter and has B2B 4s after week one, yes he can be hot and cold with his shooting but, he was good bench player for me in the last few weeks of last season, hopefully he steps up as a starter

Seems light on for bigger names to me (not playing myself, may be a decent team)

Latest version of the most popular team, one day out.

(I get these sent via email to encourage me to join, as I'm not signed up for this year).

If anyone’s keen, I’ve set up an X account devoted to NBA DT. Would be good to connect with more players there!

My attempt:

Don’t love Simmons, but not super keen on anyone else.

Talk me into D*ck 😅… seeing him in teams a lot lately

I don't mind it ....

- just keep an eye on Barrett (shoulder sprain in the PS)

Move Sarr to the bench Wizards play only 2 games in Rd1

What's the logic behind starting with Wemby when he's playing only 2 games in Rd1? To me he's the obvious second Rd2 premo upgrade or sideways along with Jokic.

Also, AD, Edwards, Giddey & Miller all play 3 games in Rd2 and not the maximum 4 games which the majority of other teams are playing in Rd2. All good so long as you're happy to play an extra rookie or two on-field in Rd2 because 3 trades won't be enough for maximum Rd2 games on-field with current squad.

Great shout on Sarr, that was an oversight on my part.

Starting Wemby simplifies my rd2 trading, AD to Jokic is almost a straight swap and not needing to squeeze in a $19.4m Wemby who has three straight 4s from rd2 is one less headache.

As for Giddey/Miller, that's the price I pay for starting AD and Wemby. Edwards I love as a player and his usage further increases without KAT. You make a good point though, it would be nice to avoid boosting straight away.

Edwards down to Cade gives me this. He was never my first preference though.

Thoughts on potential expanded roles for 2nd year players? In particular, Strawther, Cason Wallace & Gradey D*ck

@eno

Strawther definitely in the rotation, about 20-25 mins a night
Wallace with some of the additions may find it harder for minutes but should stay in the rotation (15-20min)
**** should start the season but mins will depend on the health of the Raps - especially when Brucey B's back


Wallace not interested in, **** and Strawther more so. But think I might still go elsewhere

One that I'm looking at is Yabusele which might be an option
- but I can only take one of him or Sarr in my current set up

He had a decent late preseason game, and it feels like rookies are a bit of a crapshoot this season. Also looking at Castle and Dillingham.

Most if not all should be fine. Bummed about Bufkin though but it shouldnt be too long term. Think he's set to finally get some decent playing time this season

I think your weakest players are White and Mann ...
- also not sure on Dillingham ... not the best PS and will probably be better in the back half of the season

 

[Tails]

I might be crazy, but my current plan is to get a look at the following 2 game rookies round 1 and then trade in the best for round 2:

- Castle
- George
- Carrington
- Strawther
- maybe Sarr but not sure I'm brave enough to not start him

Thanks ... interesting ....

- at the moment I've only got 5 of them with 3 being on the bench

Which rookies do you have instead of them at the moment?
