I'm giving McDaniels a go now. 44544 schedule if he holds up this week.
Dumped ZLV and Westbrook now instead of next week.
More options for next week too.

Going to be an early night for me so I'll just pen some of my thoughts on a few players that I'm deliberating over for my final trade ..
- not really looking at home and away games or opposition in these comments

Gafford ...
- Pros: Lively out for most of the season now and apparently Kleber broke his foot ??
- BE of 19 so a great cash grab option ..
- Cons: only plays 3 games the following round so will probably be a trade in and out option
- especially with Wemby having a great looming schedule ... and many looking to bring SGA back in as well ..
- also Doncic is reported to be back before the All Star round ... not sure what this will do to him but his "shooting scores" will probably take a significant hit ...

Okongwu ...
- Pros: a decent upcoming schedule
- Cons: Capella and Nance Jr ... does he keep the last two rounds role ..

Daniels ...
- Pros: should be right up their as the most improved player this season (great on defence and has much improved offence)
- Cons: the steal numbers (inflates his scores)
- Not sure: Johnson now injured and Young now out next game ??

McDaniels ...
- not one I'm considering for now
- seems to under perform against weaker teams and do well against the stronger teams ??
- I initially thought that would be the other way around ..

My optimal trade targets were:
- Maxey, Cunningham and Thompson ... no particular order ... have taken two of them
- others in the mix are Lillard, Barnes etc .. maybe even Booker as a left field option ...

My First 2 trades pretty set
SGA & T Murphy out
But 3rd trade undecided, I already have okongwu, considering a trade to gafford for extra cash boost to get SGA/wemby combo next week.
Also looked at lillard/booker but would mean jumping off Maxey/lamelo early which i dont see enough upside.
Bench cash options have dropped too much to pounce on krejci type, keep missing the guys ware/collier/wells
Might get a bottomed out high draft pick dillingham/buzelis type and hope for games in future

Would assume it's because he's got one of the biggest projected cash gains this week with a favourable schedule and at a price that probably allows another move elsewhere.

Spot on! For my last trade l only had $11.8m left and McDaniels was the best player I liked because of his likely cash gain.

Why are people getting Amen on three games?

Houston go 4,5 in the next 2?

Hmmm mine says 3? They play Boston today, Memphis Friday and Brooklyn Sunday?

Reconsidering my trades, my eliminator match up is tight on paper.
Trade in/Play:
Gafford + SGA or Herro
OR
McDaniels + Towns

I feel like Gafford is safer than McDaniels, but Towns more likely to score a better score this week than the guards.


If I hold SGA (and can get through the week in Eliminator. who will be running a full 9x 4), it sets me up to do a power-up next week (like Gafford to an uber PF option).

Decisions, decisions.

Hmm they also play the Hawks Wednesday… my app is wrong

I think there was an added Atlanta game tomorrow? It's on RDT and on schedule monster they have 4.

 

[Connoisseur]

Thank you. Worked today so the Bridges bench option was my first thought without having an extensive look at upcoming fixtures. Garland really the only one that requires a trade out next round to bring SGA back in with Bridges the weakest link and likely the means to fund it. Durant, Edwards and Barnes vying for the spot. Durant with the highest ceiling but a bit scared about the road back to back and Portland matchups as it seems a good spot for a rest along with All Star period coming up. Have not owned Edwards this season and the SG status could come in handy in comparison to Barnes if I wish to jump off say a Maxey type early.

Keeping Ware one more round should allow an easy upgrade of Garland to SGA with $6 mil currently in the bank and then $5-$6 mil to be generated from the trade.

Up a few spots to 45 this week. Seem to be fluctuating between 45-55 in the rankings but feel like I'm relatively well set up for the coming weeks and hoping to jump up some more.

Have decided to go SGA, Tatum, & Murphy to AD, Cade, & Okongwu (probably a few weeks too late haha).

Originally planned Hart (3) out instead of Tatum (4) but I think Hart won't lose that many points on Tatum and will hopefully net me some cash for next weeks trades to get SGA and Wemby in.

Anyone heard anything on the other rescheduled games? Haven't seen anything announced.

 

[Herbie66]

Let's try :-

Sharpe - > Okongwu (probably 2 weeks to late)
Green - > McDaniels via Hart
Wallace - > Daniels

Bank : $ 1,698,000.00

Next round maybe 2 bench downs (Butler , Dunn , Johnson) and upgrade X

Daniels ruled out , so will bring Westbrook in instead

[T43597]

Absolutely ridiculous first quarter from Davis

 

[T43597]

21 points and 10 rebounds. His score is currently wrong as it isnt counting his rebounds. He should be on 36 i believe. Nuts

 

[Dazza]

Cunningham got him late and bricking it up, missed his last 8 shots😢

My team

3 Thunders out
Thompson, Cunningham and Giannis in

 

[Dazza]

Lamelo Ball won’t return ankle sprain

Damn

 

[Dazza]

Cunningham Tatum and Jovic stinking it up so far

 

[Ironhawk]

Cunningham Tatum and Jovic stinking it up so far

In the second quarter of their first games for the week. Plenty of time to recover, and quite often players do.
