Then you need the ruled-out rookie too! Maybe we should trade in someone that definitely won't get a game this week, captain them, get Tatum's points and then trade the nuff rookie back to a playing rookie next week?
Tatum just as likely to follow up with an 18 & 25 as he is giving us 140+ score from 3 games. I'm confident that SGA will come through with a great C score and at the very least match whatever Tatum ends up with.
Never in doubt. This is why we don't VC loop in this format.

695 Tatum

Overall, pretty happy. Tatum was great, but really only played 10 out of the 12 quarters available. Going to be like that a bit for Boston this season. JJ and Barnes were disappointing, but Wagner, Cade and Harden were great picks for their value.

haven't decided on trades yet.

Pretty average start. Just okay. Hindsight the Quickley and Simmons money could have been spent on a Trae/rookie combo but with the rookie crop being so bad I went against it.

Turns out I still have to fix the likes of Christie/Buzelis. Just think I’ll do one at a time.

Quickley, Simmons, Davis, Buzelis to
Jokic, Thomas, Daniels, Sarr?

The problems haven’t left me with the best options🤔

Nice score by Captain SGA today, made up some ground, looks like at least 100 pts off the leader by the end of the round

Trading out
Morant (carrying an injury)
Jalen Johnson (out of form)
SGA (3 games)

Probably go for a boost as well
I think I’m gonna hold Sga on 3

656 for me.

Cunningham - Solid, happy with him.
Scoot - Poor last game but made the BE, not terrible.
Mitchell - Good enough to keep, could easily outscore the other options.

Quickley - Will trade, can't trust he plays or is fully fit if he does.
Daniels - Probably my top pick despite the bad final game.
**** - Did the job.

Edey - Underwhelming but making cash, will get off the court though.
Walker - Made a bit of cash, will move on for someone playing a lot more.

Tatum - Rock solid.
Jal Johnson - Awful week, will move on and he probably goes boom (was the story last year everytime I jumped on or off him...)
Agbaji - My other best pick, hopefully gets another week of starting to cash gen.

Giannis - Underwhelming but not terrible. Watching the other two names I looked at in Chet and Davis both whack him does hurt though! SGA also was the other captain option I strongly considered.
Banchero - Stinker of a last game kind of undercut a good start but solid enough overall.
Risacher - Terrible first two games but a nice scramble in last game to be on path at least. No point trading.

Trade plans are Giannis, Quickley, Johnson and Walker out. Tossing up between 2 of Wemby, Sabonis and Jokic, I like Jokic the most but worst schedule hurts, Will probably grab Braun and Champagnie for the other spots but will do some analysis tonight and make sure they're the go.

Will double check, could be a case to chase more cash gen and sacrifice a few points, reckon it's going to be rough all year so probably some compounding returns by getting a cash lead on the pack as opposed to last year where the points were more important as the cash was never going to cause issues.

Just realised I assumed this was Simmons. Guess it could be Simons and in that case with 4 you can hold.

Ben Simmons though - goodbye
Yeah I think Simons stays for now due to schedule.

Thinking... Edwards, Barnes and SGA OUT
Jokic, Braun, Doncic IN

If I need to downgrade someone else (like Simons or Quickley) so I can afford that, then I will.

725 for the week, SGA Captain and Miller starting as well.

Good enough for 78th overall.

Stunned at that start to be honest, For various reasons I had very little time to put together a team this year, so absolutely stoked with the first week.

722 Giannis
SGA 117, Tatum 110, Giannis C 104x2, Trae 95, Cunningham 77, D!ck 40, Edey 31, Yabusele 31, Quickley 13.

Starting off at 87th overall which is much better than where I started last season. Quickley the major disappointment but he was always a lock for me. SGA, Tatum, and Giannis excellent. Was very happy with POD Trae’s 79 over the first 2 but got killed by turnovers (10!) today and scored just 16. Big win over the alternative in Morant. 3 rookies panned out okay this week, but I can definitely see it failing in future rounds. Have to ponder whether I restructure or not.
