Discussion 2024-2025 NBA RDT Discussion: GW16 TUES 11th FEB 10:00am AEST

[The Night Manager]

Childbirth, injury, personal leave, resting players, reduced playing time, etc. it is time for Sportsdeck NBA to introduce a Flex next season to improve the level of competitiveness in the league.

I would like to propose that if your bench player outscores your on-court player in the same position (for whatever reason) that your bench players score is counted instead of the on-court player.

I like that scenario too! Some adjustments are needed to reduce the game's dependency on luck.

I can't find an official source yet but am hearing Lavine is likely to miss three games due to the birth of his child

- closest that I could find was this:

I'd like if the emergencies filled lost games instead of requiring the entire round to be lost.

So for example, Ball misses 3 games, then your emergency fills in 3 scores or however many they play with lowest used first through to highest.

You could even expand it to be that each slot gets 4 games in a week (on field with 5+ would fill highest to lowest) so that you can actually pick some of the breakout guys as starting picks without sacrificing your season.

Means there's actually some value to the bench spots outside cash generation and would mean that you at least have a chance of covering the inevitable missed games. Achieves it without needing daily changes or anything like that.

I think scores have been corrected .... off to check them out

- I was on 409 pts but manually calculated 365 pts which is now what I sit on ...

Mine look right without double checking, Lillard and Cunningham were the two that were insanely wrong and unfortunately now reflect reality

I've now confirmed the scores for all the players that I track ...
- I had manually calculated all of them in advance and can't see any gremlins left now ...

Ball out tomorrow as expected.
KD (Thumb) and Tatum (Knee) are both Q.

 

[Tex]

Now Davis injured
First week I've traded him in this year, lol
I might log out til Monday afternoon now 🤣

 

[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

At least he improved on yesterday's effort

Back to back weeks of 100+ and so far 4 & 18

Hopefully Game 3 & 4 he pumps out something worthwhile

 

[tso]

303 Jokic x1
11/39 SI

Next-
CC, Tatum ?, Jokic, Maxey, KD ?, Edwards and McDaniels

 

[Dazza]

Brittle Davis strikes again
Tatum questionable

Was planning to offload both at the end of the round, coud of waited to the last game

 

[Jay Sea]

I might have a decision to keep Gafford or OO next week... At this rate, Gafford may get another week.

 

[Bermi]

That's how I feel after my team suffers those early outs.
Hopefully, there will be changes next season.

 

[Herbie66]

Davis injury wasn't part of my plan

[Lost In The Sky]

Ball officially ruled out for the week... Really sucks when you have Collier on the bench going well... and SGA on the bench as well.

Also copped the Lavine bullet... could have replaced all those missed games with Collier & SGA's games.

Got this choice wrong (after 2 games)

Okongwu 22 v Gafford 76

 

[tso]

539 Jokic x2
19/37 SI

Next-
Edwards, McDaniels

 

[wogitalia]

Gafford regrets are growing rapidly

 

[Jay Sea]

As an SGA holder, a great first match.

616 at exactly halfway. Touch wood I'm on track for a full 34 games.
