Gamble didn’t pay off. Jerome struggled big time.

Still in 11th.

Looking at: Jerome, McCain and Roddy to Monk, Council and Diabate - Trying to strike while the break evens are great.

Any comments on Monk? He’ll be my only on field under 10m, great week last week, but can he do it again?

**I could get E. payton over Council, that’s a consideration.

I see Jokic got a triple double today, so guessing it didn't cost you too many points.

82 points and thankfully only 14 spots in the rankings

82 points and thankfully only 14 spots in the rankings

Jokic (C)+ Davis= 108+108+149= 365
Davis (C)+ Jokic= 149+149+108= 406

9 X 4 Games

An update for 9 of my 10 leagues (all SCS members in them)

A reasonable round for most of us with more blue than red
- a few games this round from Ball, Conley and Irving etc

Teams in the top 10 this round were
- @mattdickster (5th)
- not far behind were @T-Rex and @I am FT (20th)

The top league overall ranking will be covered in a subsequent post ...
- but this table will show rankings amongst league sizes only

Round 6 overall league rankings (regardless of league size)

- I'm going down as far as required to include all the "SCS branded" leagues that I am in:

 

[Moranther]

Jokic (C)+ Davis= 108+108+149= 365
Davis (C)+ Jokic= 149+149+108= 406

Ah yes thank you! I was just looking at and referring to the difference they got as captain, not overall points diff. Sorry for confusion.

 

[jaca]

1070 for me which included McCain’s 11 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[Connoisseur]

Out of boosts
Out: Giannis, Thompson, Edey and Powell
In: Diabate, Wagner, Johnson and Williams

Vucevic stays for a round. Can flick to Jokic next round by downgrading Harden to rookie to bring McCain onfield. Did consider a one round rental of Hartenstein to replace Vucevic but feel it would be better served to grab a Sabonis/Johnson type. Prefer to field Diabate/Boston Jr over Black for the ceiling but with no boosts next round, I do not want to end up in a situation where Diabate is stuck at PF as I would much prefer to field Black and McCain and take the hit at the guard position.

Johnson could become Ball/Fox if I wish to field Diabate at PF this round.

Very solid considering Black onfield. Time to get Jokic for the first time this season with Vucevic to depart. No boosts left so other two trades may be Carrington and Sarr downgrades or one of J Williams/J Harden to M Brogdon

Payton vs McCain On-Court?

Rd6 score: 1010
Rank: 140 (+11)

OUT: Vucevic, Ball, Harden, Boston
IN: Jokic, Brunson, Monk, Payton
Bank: 5M

 

[Moranther]

Will Payton be worth it? Low BE I know (and an extra game when everyone has 2) but the Pelicans are getting healthier and he drops down the roster.

5 of the top 6 scorers def helped.
My pivot to keep KAT regardless of injury status and change Fox to SGA worked out.

 

[jaca]

I'm not sure how I get to Jokic... quite like my team and can't quite find the extra 17m to upgrade from Knect
