No complaints from me whatsoever - what could've been with a full run of Barnes, Banchero and Dyson! Paolo had such a scorcher of a game to start last week, I'm bummed to see him sidelined like this.
Starting rd3 with $1.40m ITB and Barnes/Banchero must trades.
OUT: Barnes, Banchero, Dyson
IN: KAT, Harden, Gradey D
I wasn't sure about the Dyson trade out until I played around with a Holland trade out in his place. Him being at the top of my must correct list, I managed to make the same trade ins, but it left me with $38k ITB... Furthermore, I'm locked out of playing Black on field with this move despite a +15 (1,099) projection with a Giddey, Dyson, Harden, Cade backcourt.
Last year, things never went right for me when I carried less than ~$500k into a following round in this format, so $38k is a joke lol. Aside from cash gen, I think maximising player price and on-field-points ratio and carrying at least $1-$2m into every round will be just as important for sustainability. Might be obvious to some, but it's a lesson I'm taking onboard this year.
Crossing my fingers Harden can play majority of this stretch! Only one b2b in the next 3 weeks and that's this week between Kings and Raptors.
Good luck all!
