Edwards out now, beaten by my eliminator opponent because I had 4 miss games to his none, just sums up my season, very frustrating, any chance I get a couple extra trades to cover my injuries for next round, oh well there is always next season

Probably going to have play Jovic for 3 games again, 53 this week, I would take that next round, might as well keep has 5 games after the 3

Davis Tatum and Westbrook will be my most likely outs
SGA lock in, might down grade Westbrook so I can get Wemby in, but didn’t play today because of illness
Also have to watch Edwards status as he didn’t play because of illness

What a week of poor economics.
  • AFLPA President Patrick Dangerfield providing a lecture on supply and demand as an insight to what his post AFL career may have in store.
  • Utterly moronic tariff policy to increase inflationary pressures.
  • Trading away a generational talent for next to no top picks and for an ageing star to potentially avoid the luxury tax and far decreased ticket sales, merch sales, etc when they could have received far better deals.

Wowee still have a pulse in my eliminator
Durant 13 pts and Towns 8 pts today has given me a rough chance

Down to
Cunningham and Tatum
V
My Opponent
Gafford and a 34 point lead

I rather be in his position though

Would of won in a canter if not for 4 miss games to zero for my opponent

Tatum owes us a big game

This Luka trade is crazy

Getting smashed by @wogitalia in one H2H match up ...
- at the start of the round, I thought that I matched up quite well against him ...
- until I lost AD x 2 and Edwards x 1

He is currently sitting on 1185 pts (me 1118 pts) with 4 left to play
- it is going to take a serious effort to beat his team this round !!
- flip side ... by my calcs he will probably enter the top 10 :)

I have been desperately trying to not jinx it after my post to @Jay Sea about unleashing carnage :)

Definitely having a good round. If Lillard and Cade can show up tomorrow I should have the whole team above 100. Definitely wish I'd noticed Gafford last week instead of going Bridges, can't say I even considered him though so spilt milk and all that.

Hurts I had to have such a bad week last week to get a good one this week, wasn't anything to do with this week that I had the bad week either, would be happier if it was one of those sacrifice to setup but last week was meant to be good :LOL:

The Luka trade is absolutely wild. Has a serious 30 for 30 about Luka is coming vibe to it because it just makes no sense otherwise. I like Davis and he's a great player but he's just as or more injury prone than Luka, not as good and 6 years older.

It's one of the wildest out of nowhere and just in terms of what it's about trades I can ever recall. Even the KG to Boston trade was at least on the cards and that's probably the last trade in this realm I can think of. I'd have had Luka on the top 5 guys you don't trade list I'm pretty sure. Would only say Wemby and Jokic are absolutely ahead of him on it as well.

Agree with @The Night Manager that I hate a player I really like going to a team I don't. The only thing I can hope is that LeBron hooks Luka up with his pharmacist and personal trainer and gets the guy in elite shape. Feels like an awful fit on the basketball court, basically two guys who detest trying on defense, are ball dominant and mediocre 3pt shooters, honestly feels like the Lakers should also be trading Bron as can't see how it works at all basketball wise, especially because Davis was their entire defense.

Mavs somehow actually makes way more sense for from a basketball perspective but doesn't make much sense in anything beyond that either long term or marketing wise. They're still clearly a very good player away right now.

Wild.

Was just checking out the player status for DAL tomorrow ...
- Irving, Gafford and Washington are all listed as GTD with "general soreness" ...

So are they conceding the game or has the Doncic / AD trade news not been received well ???

They were all noted as questionable 12 hours ago on Roto, the trade only happened 4 hours ago. Guess they are not related, but obviously the club knew the trade was happening, so who knows.

Thing that makes me nervous in this space is Gafford should basically be a hold into next week for RDT… but he was a discussion for trading before, does this make it more likely again?

Davis has always wanted to play PF, it's always been a bit of an issue in LA where it doesn't work with Bron out there. So could well play alongside him. Will absolutely destroy the rebounding and block numbers though.

Worth noting Davis wasn't expected to be even assessed until next week for his injury, so probably doesn't change anything next week as doubt they rush him back given how badly they're being bashed for this trade.

The media response is insanely savage on Dallas because this trade makes no sense from their end. Yes, Davis is a good fit on court, but the rest is terrible.
