horrible start....only 377 with a game to come from each player. Giannis C

last minute trade in of Quickley backfired
Giannis over Davis
Johnson has been a bad pick to start. Along with Edwards, another poor midpricer pick...Cunningham surprisingly my best pick despite worrying about him the most

Started Wemby as well so I could lock him away for next week while targeting Doncic and Sabonis as INs. Hope he bounces back in his second game

With the carnage of Quickley, Johnson, **** and to an extent, Edwards all on field, I have too many holes to deal with. So highly likely to be without Jokic for the first month which scares me

Can't complain...

Cunningham 2 solid games. Scoot 2 solid games, Mitchell fouled out unfortunately but should make cash.

Quickley out hurts but wasn't dodging it, was one of my first locked in. Daniels has been excellent. **** solid enough.

Edey nice bounce back, my 2nd best rookie so far and had to start one and was never starting the one ahead of him! Walker took advantage of junk time and already making cash.

Tatum excellent. Jalen Johnson not ideal, hope for a big game to hit the BE, will have a decision here either way. Agbaji my top rookie, has really produced which is great. Not sure how much longer he gets to start but will take every dollar.

Giannis not ideal, he could have had an enormous game today, he must have had 10 potential assists that players missed wide open shots and the abysmal FT shooting, hurts because it was him or Davis and Davis has been so good, didn't think they'd finally run the offense through him but they are, credit to Reddick as it must have been hard to tell his friend they were no longer going to run a stat pad offense for him. Banchero really solid, right around what I hoped he could do. Risacher not ideal but role there, will be a slow burn I dare say.

Annoying seeing Davis and Young as the top 2, really wanted both but chose Giannis over Davis and I just liked the Scoot/Daniels/Quickley value so much more than the PF/SF equivalents so went elsewhere there. Mobley wasn't as close, Ball I'd have taken if he didn't have the 3 games next week, could definitely be a top 3 guard this year with how they play. Hield was a guy I strongly considered but the 3-3 pushed me away. White I just wasn't sure with so many other players there.

Rookie watch says Hawkins, Jerome, Missi (think he gets less minutes with Williamson back but going great), Huff (same with JJJ), Mogbo, Hayes and Black. Interesting that none of those guys are starters so probably sums up how bad the rookie crop is.

Wemby so bad in game one makes the trade plan a bit more edgy, needs a big game 2 to protect the value. Jokic/Doncic both a bit below what you'd hope but similar watches. I'll almost certainly take Hendricks. See what happens with the other trades.

I'm not bothering with rookie corrections next week. All my rookies have been duds this week but could easily turn it around next week and outscore anyone I look to bring in. Just a waste of trades, the crop this year is awful

483 with a game left from all 9 including captain Giannis. Apart from Quickley ive had a pretty good round. Went for mid-pricers so im only playing the one rookie on field in Edey. Tatum, Banchero & Cam Thomas have been the highlights based on the price i paid for them.

Sorry I don't follow....
Your overall use of words, general negativity gives Deja Vu vibes of past members that have been banned for spamming this thread with pointless negative posts

Just a friendly reminder from a non-admin member to try add value where possible - instead of repetitive whinging etc

Was just having a look back at couple of my pre planned week 2 teams.
Ins Wemby, Jokic, Doncic and 1x rookie fix/Braun
(potential Harden hold if he got off to a flying start and $$ could be made)
All plans leaned heavily towards rookies being reliable on field to get big dogs in though

Gonna have to crunch numbers end of round
$20mill+ player 120+ score
$5mill rookie 40-60 score
vs
$15mill 70-100 score
$10mill 60-90 score

I’m well off the pace, I don’t think one player in my team has got there predicted average, looks like I will need a lot of work on my starting team

Is anyone keeping Edey that started him, he spends a lot of time on the bench in foul trouble

Trading Morant and SGA out
The 3 Bs are a concern Banchero, Barnes and Bane
Jalen Johnson better fire tomorrow

Will stick with my bench, Risacher first to go if I trade one out

Don’t think I can afford Jokic unless I play 3 rookies
Probably end up going Sabonis or Wemby

Keeping Edey yes, but will do everything possible to not have him on field

Don’t get Wemby. Doesn’t look like a 35 avg player like I hoped when I started him. Fell well short of BE and will keep losing coin. I’d trade him out if I had an extra trade up my sleeve.

Will see how the dust settles ...
- have a few trade targets and don't want to boost if I can get around it ...
- Jokic and Sabonis both have 2 x B2B's next round so ??
