was definitely someone i wanted, had him on my watchlist since beginning of the season
unfortunately needed a SG this week so went grimes instead
was about 200k short of clowney to bench slot to facilitate edey trade next week
and 1mill short of Jovic in and Dunn staying on the bench

The numbers look reasonable but I think that ship has now sailed at his price point ...
- his next 2 games are in LA ??

This is the kind of ish of why the NBA is floundering and the NFL is flourishing and taking their lunch money.

The NFL has a playoff game, that requires a significantly larger stadium and they play it. The NBA has canned three games now, it's embarrassing how easy they are on the players and how afraid they are to get them to do their job under any kind of adversity.

Jokic just flat out goated right now. I don't know if a player has ever been this far clear of the competition as he is right now. Be nice if the mess of a roster around him can step up enough to not cost him a title, unless he's facing the Magic of course

It's great to see Westbrook having a really great season, always liked him and he was done badly by the Lakers, so good to see him proving he's still pretty good.

The less said about OG, the better!

Amazing how quickly a week can go from good to terrible in this format

This will get interesting ..
- missing 1 or 2 games is manageable by the draw in most seasons (aka covid)

Too many missed games means a total restructure of the draw IMO ...

So far missed games stand at:
- 2 - LAL
- 2 - CHA
- 1 - ATL, HOU, LAC, SAS

So looking ahead if LAL and LAC can't play in the next 4 days that quickly extrapolates to the following missed games ...
- 4 LAL
- 3- LAC
- 2- SAS
- 2 - MIA
- 1 - ATL, BKN, HOU

That is before any persistence of the cold weather issue ...

Yeah, I’m jumping to SGA. But he could easily go 90 in 3 with Joker going 90 on 2. 😂

Just bringing this one back up... Barring a strange sub in by OKC, the final gap between the 2 is... Zero.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Disgusting... would have better off playing Trey Murphy on 1 game over Mikal Bridges on 4 games

Bit surprised by this, I thought the winds were meant to be picking up in the next day or so, possibly making the situation worse. Guess they would know better than someone on the other side of the world.

What did you do with Hart?

I don't get why you'd move on Murray & Porter this week over say Durant & Saikam with the draw in consideration?

 

[Jay Sea]

The Cannons this week:

I have 2 schools of thought. 1 is to boost our and get a ‘better’ Small Forward 2:
Alternatively, hold the boost another week and get a more speculative SF2:

Thoughts welcomed. Both trade plans give me 8x 4 and 1x 3 (KAT). It also means I’m playing Yasbusele in either plan…

Siakam can go next week along with SGA and Herro.
NYK have no 4 games coming up for ages.
Tatum has 44 coming up as does Simons.
Durant has 344 after this week.

Plan for next week is Ball 444, Mobley 44 and Cunningham 344 IN

Ball 4 Maxey 3
CC 3 Simons 4
Jokic 3
Tatum 4 ZLV 3
KD 3 Mobley 4

Makes sense. I'm inclined to hold SGA through his 3 game round in Rd13 then flip him to Luka in Rd14. Should be back before then. I can see why people would downgrade him to Ball next week though.

 

[Jay Sea]

Also, friendly reminder that Eliminator starts this week... I've drawn one of the better looking first round opponents I've seen over my years.
