Currently:
Out: Westbrook, Johnson and Thompson
In: S Dinwiddie, Henderson and M Bridges

Towns out alternative involves Garland and Okongwu over Dinwiddie and Henderson.

Garland and Okongwu combo fantastic in the end. Bridges ok considering the missed game and that I didn’t really entertain the Cavs double up with Mitchell, Bane or other PG/SG/SF options around the price range.

1050 with SGA left and looking to fully capitalise on the opportunity to move into the top 20.

I'd say you'll probably win the week...

175 points in front of me. :eek:

This game is very unenjoyable at times when the guys you trade out score more than the ones you trade in.

The guys you trade out all become superstars on lesser schedules... and the ones you trade in miss games and revert to spud status.

Postponed games also killing me.

On the flip side, it wouldn’t be very much fun if no risk was associated with any decision. Balance is the key between going schedule for schedule sake and trading out core guys to facilitate it.

860 to 813 in my eliminator

SGA, Williams, Wallace versus Avdija, I think I’m safe😎
Wouldn’t of been different if he made Jokic Captain and Giannis didn’t miss a game, bit of luck for me, I’ll take it

Thank you. Cleveland’s 4 makes it easy to hold Garland for another round and glad there was not a large difference between he and Mitchell as I was concerned by Mitchell’s high volume in comparison to Garland and felt that Mitchell was also the larger injury/resting risk given their standing. Okongwu making it tough to trade as he, SGA and Thompson are the only players scheduled to play less than the max but can make cases to hold each going forward.

Quick look at the schedule and attention turns to Detroit, Minnesota and Phoenix. N Reid and C Cunningham could be interesting replacements for SGA and Okongwu but then need to start looking ahead on how to bring SGA back pronto.

I reckon there’s a good chance you’re knocking on the door of top 10 even.
Somewhere around 10th or 11th

My 3 trades will end up costing me 20-30 points :cautious:

Towns 85 (3) > Tatum 91 (4)
J Williams > 62 (2) plays today* > Murphy lll 66 (3) 1 missed game
Simons 64 (3) plays today* > L Ball 71 (3) 1 missed game
