Discussion 2024-2025 NBA RDT Discussion: Tues 26 Nov 11am

[Connoisseur]

All out for 970. Very happy considering No Jokic, the -2 from Young to start the round and the Holmgren injury. A large part of going without Jokic was hoping the likes of Holmgren and Banchero could take the next step and average around 30-35 and limit the gap. Well aware of the likely worst case scenario but was not expecting 392 points from eight matches.

Out: Holmgren and Young
In: Vucevic and Boston Jr

No PF/C status restricts some flexibility in comparison to Towns but has the max schedule. Likely means I wait a few more rounds for Jokic if I look to spend elsewhere or grab Giannis and Haliburton next round.

Powell could replace Dićk but still leaves nine million for say Braun to Haliburton/Irving if I wish to use my third boost. Largely comes down to the availability of Carrington.

 

[Dazza]

I think I will go White over Giddey

 

[T43597]

Always risky bringing in a player off a long lay off ...
- I'd say no as his "minutes" might be managed and limit his upside ... he ain't very cheap either ...
- good player but too much of a risk for me ...

Yeah fair call regarding his minutes. I just think they'll want to up his minutes pretty quickly. No guarantee though, and like you said, he isnt that cheap. Still, at his price point i dont see many im as confident in as him. Ill sleep on it though

I have Vucevic in one of my trade options ...

Hart, Giddey etc are on my watchlist ...

 

[Tails]

not for me ...
- I watched Giddey last game and he looked good and was rested in the last Qtr
- he gets the stats that matter with upside if he sinks buckets ..

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Looking at ridding some of my non performers this round. Need to focus on value to be able to get the likes of Jokic etc going forward.



Boston Jnr getting some good minutes of late with the Pelicans, and starting as well.

Tatum JWells Strawther > Powell Hart Boston Jr. Not boosting this round

I like Hart for scoring and cash gen but he plays one less game than Giddey/CWhite over the next 2 rounds. But Hart has been really consistent with just 2 scores under 20 and I'm banking on one of the bulls to have one poor game to make the extra game somewhat irrelevant. Without knowing BEs I'm guessing Hart makes more coin over the next 2 rounds too.

Harden 4 Cade 4
Powell 4 Agbaji 3
Sabonis (C) 4
Hart 4 Boston Jr 4
Wemby 4 KAT 4

Looking ok for game totals this week. Next week is the main worry

 

[jaca]

Would you prefer to keep Gradey D or Agbaji?

 

[Snatch]

Happy with that considering no Joker. Sabonis C.

Likely trades
OUT- JJ, Hawkins, Missi, D!ck
IN- Powell, KAT, Boston Jnr, Alvarado

3rd boost used trying to keep up with the leaders while still generating cash

Boston Jnr getting some good minutes of late with the Pelicans, and starting as well.

Trey Murphy lll is back from injury today. He will impact Boston Jnr's minutes to some degree going forward as Pelican's starting SG.

 

[The Night Manager]

Not used to bringing in so many random names at once, but full-premo will take baby steps this year.

OUT: Tatum, Thomas, Sarr, Hawkins
IN: Vucevic, Powell, Marthurin, Coulibaly

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Will have another look at that then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Bermi]

I have been chopping and changing my trades since 5am, finally decided on:
OUT - Jordan Hawkins, Christian Braun, Jayson Tatum & Gradey D!ck
IN - Brandon Boston Jr., Norman Powell, Darius Garland & Josh Hart

 

[Moranther]

Will have another look at that then. Thanks for the heads up.

As long as he still gets a decent amount of minutes he should make some decent cash. Not to mention the money made if you downgraded someone to him.

I don't mean to talk you out of anything but you only have 1 player in your entire roster (Powell) playing 4 games next round. Disregard if tanking Rd5

 

[The Night Manager]

Should still make very good money this week and score ok. Cash Gen is key

 

[Dazza]

Change of plans for me getting Mathurin in, instead of White even though one less game, but it will be easier for me to get Greek in next week as he looks like the only safe Captain’s choice next week, having White it would be extremely tough to get Greek with want I want to do in the next round

Thanks for the guidance, @Tails

Not really made cash in this case unfortunately. Barrett to Bost Jnr is more a fix, so lets hope he gets some minutes and makes some $$
