My trades subject to change

Ball SGA Sengun out
Miller Brunson Jokic in

Considering Monk over Miller to have a little bit of cash in the bank for the following round

Playing McCain🙁

Following week barring injuries is to downgrade 2 rookies and upgrade Siakam to Sabonis

No one playing tomorrow 😳

Pretty shocked to actually move up two spots this week will take that from a 1037 in a week that went pretty poorly.

Annoyingly need to use a boost this week because of Ball, didn't want or plan to but I don't have cover for him that I'm willing to field and I'm not parking 16m on the bench regardless!

Jalen Johnson back in so we can do this dance, I expect he'll be trash for 2 games then miss a couple as that is pretty much how our abusive relationship goes, I will then trade him and he'll get back to the 35+ stuff but I can't afford Giannis and can't justify paying extra for Tatum when they've produced the same results the last month.

Jokic in and the armband goes straight to him. I might have actually faded him this week if either of SGA or Doncic had a 4 gamer or even if Giannis wasn't a forced trade next round just because of how much extra that would have allowed but alas that's not the scenario so I will happily take the big guy!

Bringing in two very shaky rookie plays in Walter and Micic, basically gone for the maximum cash grab. I like Micic while Ball is out, the risk is Ball comes back early but given his injury history I'd think that's less likely than not. Walter a lot more speculative in that **** should be back soon, will back a calf to take an extra game or two though, if he gets a couple of starts and can produce a bit, that's all I need.

Will be hoping to cash Agbaji, Sarr, Diabate and Risacher over the next 2-3 weeks, very thin on options right now and there's probably only another 2-3 rookies this season that are going to make any cash and they may come at awful times, so will just take any low cost guy that's playing and play a bit of the BE/schedule game with the Miller type plays the rest of the way to try and generate cash. Team value definitely a concern but will see what we can do!

Monk over Miller IMO when taking Rd9 & 10 into consideration.

I could get him for you probably but you won't like the method ...

Keep Knecht and trade Mathurin instead to Jokic via Wagner, Johnson and Sabonis. Only 13 million to free up which could be achieved by downgrading Edey for four million with nine million left. Harden to Micic or McBride should acheive that without using a boost.

Is Edey to Missi worthwhile?
Click to expand...
Probably not ...

My recorded scores for Missi (BE 8) are:
- 24, 15, 15, 15, -1, 13, 12, 14, 14, 5, 32, 21, 10, 15, 15, 16, D, 29, 16, 29, 18,
- don't get me wrong as he has been playing well but to me the C position is worth a lot more than those scores now if on field ..

Edey (BE 31) is due back this round and my recorded scores are:
- 3, 21, 7, 7, 13, 17, 19, 41, 10, 24, 19, 18, 25, 16, D,

Just a decision this week Halliburton over Monk. Any reason for the uptick in Monk returns this week.

8X4
1x3

The Joker finally makes it into the line up.

That looks good ...

- LAL would be crazy to leave Knecht out of the starting side / heavy bench minutes now ...
- the last game I watched he was becoming more involved ... rebounds / assists etc instead of just being a 3 pt shooter ..

Any opinions on Miller v Mathurin ... can only keep one ...

- Miller predominantly a shooter but not very efficient and doesn't do much else ...
- Mathurin gets rebounds and shoots a bit ... but first benched when all players get healthy ...

It seems there's a pattern emerging, despite losing most of my League games, I continue to ascend in the rankings.

My trades are:
OUT - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ivica Zubac & Carlton Carrington
IN - Nikola Jokić, Malik Monk & Elfrid Payton

This week I will have 13 players playing 4 games, only injured Edey will miss.

I can't see any glaring issues ...

- Payton v Misic is the only X v Y I would look at ...
- I guess Council IV is also in the equation but I'm not sure that he can back it up ...

My main concern is do I start Knecht or Boston, I'm leaning to Knecht, based on the positive comments I have read in this Forum.
