I have completed the following 4 trades - Draft 1 - 2nd booster used, but need to do something with Amen.

Jokic - AD - Not much difference probably, but still enough over the next 2 weeks
Mitchell - PG - Short term trade - Bit of a POD, as Mitchell was - don't want to go Maxey as others appear to be
KD - Tatum - was always on the card
Amen - Sasser - Cash Cow

Now trying to decide which 2 to play out of Sasser, Ausar, and Thomas

only word of caution about PG and I like him ...

- Harden, PG, Leonard, Westbrook all in the same team ... interesting team to see how the team dynamics work out now ...

Anyone seen a timeline on scoot? Not sure I want to burn a boost on Daniels but don’t want dead weight early on bench

True. I had forgotten about the Harden trade, but I am confident as I don't believe that they would have traded him without considering those dynamics.

But, great point. Will definitely give it some thought.

1153 (Jokic) Up 135 to 41

Good week. Cade the only real down but he played 4 games unlike others so maybe a win lol

Playing around with trades. Cade and Barnes pretty sure will go. To keep Joker or not a big call this week. Davis and Embiid on 4,4 is tempting but probably playing with fire 😆

Tossing up whether to play Ausar, Victor, Chet and Cam

Option 1

View attachment 63582


Or get 2 cheap bench players and sacrifice Ausar to get Maxey, 2nd option would leave my bench very average but I would have a strong starting line up. Second option will bite me down the track though

Option 2

View attachment 63584

Leaning to option one as it’s a long season, and I will have 3 mil in the bank

What option would you take

I’m fielding all 4 of those rookies this week most likely. I’m fairly certain at least 3 of them will go sub 70 but Wemby bench this week has scarred me. Will chase their scores and suffer for it

Tails you might be the only person holding data on this

Feels like our key rookies are scoring at a super accelerated rate this year and that will keep us up to all preemo team value real quick

I only hold end of season averages ... well not quite true as I have all their game by game scores recorded (just ask and I can provide them) ...

Edit: any player that scores a 20+ average for a season ... I keep all their game by game scores ...
- those that score below that mark I also keep a record of only if they interest me for next season ...

But for reference and I agree ...

- last season Kessler (21) and Banchero (20) finished with those averages ... still like both of them ...
- the season before Mobley (22) and Barnes (21) finished with those averages ... both still going strong ...
- going back another season nobody exceeded a 20 average

I could dig out previous seasons even further back but Mitchell and Simmons come to mind ...
- what do they all have in common ... Rookie of the year candidates ...

Yeah okay so if this hold through first 5-6 weeks we will be in a totally different cash position than previously

Wemby, chet, Thompson, lively, Thomas all over 18 feels way overs

Do you intend on holding Durant all the way through to the end of RD5-RD6?
Will you continue to hold if say he scores 60-85 from his three matches?
Are you concerned about a potential rest once Booker & Beal return or do you feel this is low risk due to no back to backs?

Feels like the forced trades from uneven game weeks makes this even more of a identical teams than even the other comps where that's a problem. Not sure of a better system but it's definitely a negative because there's no players that you can afford to pick as a keeper.

Looking at teams through this thread every team is more or less identical this week and I'm one of them, although I've gone Embiid over Davis because I'm already on the zig when others zag pathway so I may as well zig myself to death.

No back to back for Simmons so will take the punt holding him this week, watch Cunningham unleash and Simmons miss half the games and play crap because those were the two I tossed up on.

Have succumbed and gone for Maxey. Really not sure whether LAC will play with now that Harden is there, so I'll wait and go to PG in Rd 5 if they show promise. There was nothing really better than Maxey that I could see, so it's sometimes best to go with the popular move, so as to not lose points.
