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

Was just having a look back at couple of my pre planned week 2 teams.
Ins Wemby, Jokic, Doncic and 1x rookie fix/Braun
(potential Harden hold if he got off to a flying start and $$ could be made)
All plans leaned heavily towards rookies being reliable on field to get big dogs in though

Gonna have to crunch numbers end of round
$20mill+ player 120+ score
$5mill rookie 40-60 score
vs
$15mill 70-100 score
$10mill 60-90 score

I agree ...

- going to study the BE's very closely as the cash generation has to come from somewhere ...
- new season and might need an old school strategy ..
- if not rookies then I will look at on field players ...

Mate as soon as you get a sniff of old mate here, don't hesitate in the old das boot

No boot ... just want the forum to remain user friendly ...

 

[Tails]

4/634 AD x3
24 SI

SGA, Simmons, Daniels, Kuminga and Scoot tp

I see you have Kuminga ...

Apparently he wanted a max contract and they said no ...
- I started with him last season but his starting spot might be on the line ...
- GSW are doing fine without leaning on him thus far ... just my observation ...

Was always a one week rental anyway.

You have the highest projected score that I can see of "765"
- if you can match or beat that it should be a cracking start to the season ...

Going to be asking a lot to get 5/131 from them.
So far they are 10/188.

Haven't got the stats yet but you have Jokic which will save a trade ...
- so lots of flexibility ... most will be trying to work out the Jokic / Sabonis equation IMO ...

Yeah. I could downgrade Kuminga to Braun and Davis to Sabonis.
Then upgrade SGA to Doncic.
Leaves a boost to correct a bench rookie or do something with Simmons.
Will see how he goes on his 3rd game.

 

[tso]

Chance i can go

OUT SGA, Kuminga, Simmons, Davis
IN Doncic, Braun, Mobley, Sabonis

Doncic 4 Scoot 4
Ivey 4 Daniels 4
Jokic (c) 4
Braun 4 D**k 4
Sabonis 4 Mobley 4

 

[Moranther]

Is Simons a sell after his showing or do I stick strong for another week and re-assess?

It'll depend on what you can in that spot to me ...
- he seems to be scoring ok today thus far ...

 

[tso]

Knew i would get no where near projected

 

[T43597]

Cam Thomas has been my best pick!

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Yep, projected is really a waste of time IMO

Cam Thomas has been my best pick!

Franz Wagner has been my best pick, but JJ and Barnes need a kick up the a...

 

[Moranther]

Cam Thomas has been my best pick!

I suppose Tatum was my best pick but you can rely on those top guys somewhat more. As far as midrangers goes it was a bust but happy that I chose Black as one of my rookies!

 

[Moranther]

Loop is redundant in this format and especially so early on when the key is to maximise cash generation.

If multiple injuries and/or suspensions befall your side along with handling fixture changes, can trades be set aside? Would a boost be used to remove the loop, how long do you plan on holding the loop and is it a priority in comparison to the aforementioned?

Scoring is not at a constant rate so 40+ is not a given in each match because the first match was so for Tatum. Do you expect a significant gap between who you originally planned to be captain and Tatum to warrant the change?

SGA officially just surpassed Tatum's score, glad I didn't lose my head thanks to you boys.

 

[Herbie66]

Ended up going :-

Giddey , Henderson / Black

Quickley , Pritchard / ****

Sengun (VC) / Edey

Banchero , Miller / Knecht

Antetokounmpo (C) , Simmons / Risacher

wow

Might be easier to just hit delete team hahaha

533

Antetokounmpo 104
Sengun 73
Banchero 67
Giddey 49
Henderson 45
Simmons 38
Pritchard 33
Quickley 13
Miller 7

See what/who I can fix bit by bit

 

[Moranther]

Okay 680 all out. Glad I got to my projected at least!

 

[Dazza]

668

Nice score by Captain SGA today, made up some ground, looks like at least 100 pts off the leader by the end of the round

Trading out
Morant (carrying an injury)
Jalen Johnson (out of form)
SGA (3 games)

Probably go for a boost as well

 

[BallDontLie]

564 horrible start

Jalen Johnson worst pick by far, Cunningham the best

Wemby also very average just killed me this week

Confirmed trade outs are Johnson, Giannis, Edwards and Quickley.
