Discussion 2024-2025 NBA RDT Discussion: GW17 TUES 25th FEB 10:00am AEST

[wogitalia]

Having a solid week, hopefully everyone plays tomorrow and finishes strongly. Especially the more unique guys (Mr Murphy!).

Wemby trade is a spanner I didn't want, especially given Giannis also not really an option this week with 3 games and a minutes restriction in place. Will be a bit of tinkering to make something work there, will probably have to forsake any real planning for the week after as well with a few others also in need of trading!

40 DT points at H/T was hoping for more than 52 pts DT pts at the end, suppose you can’t be too greedy

Murphy III was shooting the lights out and soon as I get him he suddenly shoots bricks for the whole round

I feel blessed that Naz Reid was all I could afford with my final trade.

I feel blessed that Naz Reid was all I could afford with my final trade.

Definitely one of my most depressing calls... Considered Reid, Towns, Mobley, holding Durant and Murphy III. That's 1, 2, 3 and 7 (and counting) for the week and 50th

Sabonis in 9th also considered. Worst part is if I'd kept Durant I was going to get in Fox as well.

Oh well, had to make the call on Durant early and no use crying over spilled milk (he says fully aware that the cry has already been performed).

What is mental is that I still need 17 from Edwards and SGA to win in my random public league match this week...

1283 all out

Wemby 3 missed games

 

[Jay Sea]

1202. Feels like I’m sort of in the middle to upper tier. Copped the Wemby and Maxey pain and TM3 is a concern.

Will again be trading with half an eye on the eliminator. Hopefully I’m top half and also avoid one of our brethren as the pool shrinks.

 

[T43597]

1012. Down to 86 overall. New team

Gain of 1.
Current Eliminator differences:
TM3
Maxey
Bridges
*Wemby
V
McDaniels
Thompson
LBJ
*Wemby

Planning on getting LBJ anyway.

All x4 games

 

[Dazza]

Trades at this stage

Wembanyama, Murphy III, Thompson out
James, Durant and Herro in

 

[Herbie66]

wow

1178 Jokic

includes Keon Johnson onfield with 45

Maxey would have been popular owned

Stoked with that 🤗

 

[Jay Sea]

Trade plans:

Also interested in Harden who has the excellent run (like Herro)... Thoughts between the 2 welcomed.

TM3 too risky and Maxey my only 3 gamer. This trade set gives me 4x 3 gamers next week, but 3 are trades (LBJ, Durant and Booker) with Jokic being untradable on a 3.

Leaves me with effectively $6m to move the 3 gamers next week to handy pieces.

Any general thoughts welcomed.

Side note, Eliminator is 16th v 17th

 

[Moranther]

Simple trades this week… Maxey, Wemby and Gafford for LeBron, Cade and Harden

 

[Bermi]

Trades this week:
OUT - Tyrese Maxey, Victor Wembanyama & Amen Thompson
IN - James Harden, Cade Cunningham & Anthony Edwards
Bank $4,508,000 and all 4 gamers.

 

[wogitalia]

I don't know if I've ever made a set of trades quite as YOLO as this week's plans!

And I'm up to 10m in the bank from it which is not ideal but I'm chasing every last point and hope my 4 gamers are going to beat the more expensive 3 gamers, if Knicks didn't have such a horrible run of games I'd have gone Towns. Giannis I just want to see the minutes restriction lifted and back to flying before backing a 3 game week!

1,319 for the week good for 24th, I feel for the guy in my public league I scraped past! Up in to 5th overall, would take something special to catch 1st as very few PODs at the top, but can dream

 

[Connoisseur]

Current trades:
Out: O Okongwu, S Barnes and G Antetokounmpo
In: L Doncic, A Edwards and D Gafford

Very tough to settle on trades this round. Ideally want to move one of Thompson or Maxey out before their three next round. Prefer to hold Maxey with the higher ceiling. Would like to hold Barnes over Thompson given I got in early for Thompson (RD12) but means going Bridges over Gafford. Bridges with the better long term schedule but grabbed him a few rounds ago and yet to select Gafford this season who I feel has the larger ceiling with the injuries to Dallas this round. Then has a 3 next round which forces me into three trade outs of guys on threes. Like Murphy III as an option but unable to afford him over Gafford and would have to be at the expense of grabbing Edwards. Yet to select Edwards this season and has a high ceiling but feel he may not reach those heights with three of five this round against Cleveland and OKC.

Alternative would be Murphy III in place of Edwards allowing Barnes to be kept over Thompson.
