Discussion 2024-2025 NBA RDT Discussion: Tues 26 Nov 11am
- Thread starter Connoisseur
- Start date
Last week I went Powell, Sabonis, GradeyD to Giannis, McCain, Franz. Another fantastic week for me and I'm gladly still holding onto 3 boosts as well.
My moves this week ride on how KAT's calf contusion pulls up, tricky injury to manage and it would not surprise me if he plays tomorrow, or even just 2 out of 4 this week.
One of two scenarios that I'll fire off at 10:30am tomorrow:
If KAT's in - Giannis, Cade, Sengun, Giddey to AD, Jokic, JDub, Reed Sheppard
- Sheppard only because I'm left with $4.6m, and with Cade's injury, he's my favourite basement price guard rookie placeholder for the time being
- Jokic is non-negotiable for me, so this is my favourite move if KAT's good to go. However, this will be the first round I go into with under $1m ITB which goes against what I've been doing all season thus far.
If KAT's out - Giannis, KAT, Sengun, Cade to AD, Jokic, Miller, Siakam/Jalen Johnson
- JJ's up against Cavs twice and based on past performance, is not ideal. Though this year the Hawks offense is different and flows through him a lot more. Honestly a coin toss between him and Siakam for me.
Hoping for some good news on KAT.

Just curious where most people's team value sits currently? Does anyone have any insight into what stage of the season or what team value figure is the right time to cash in bench rookies and bring in basement price players (regardless of playing)?
Only asking as I feel like last year I chased value and cash gen for just a few weeks too long and should have pulled the trigger in order to field a full "premium" side.
Would love to hear your thoughts as I still feel pretty new to this format (3rd year playing).

A good week for a ranking climb, still cannot miss injuries, maybe this week but with KAT, not likely. Suggs and Powell need to be moved on.
Still rolling without the Joker. Getting him in the team this week leaves the other areas week. Crazy price but in red hot form, absolute super star. Thinking rookie cull next week to try to squeeze him in. Other option next week is Sabonis,, and let the cows to continue to fatten.
Really no idea what to do with KAT also have Suggs ( huge mistake) and Powell. At this stage i am looking as if i need to roll the dice and cross all fingers and toes and hope KAT can be managed and get 3 games out of him this week.???? Huge call as it will make of break the week.?
AD the only confirmed trade at this time. Some tinkering to do after dinner.
Can a member supply the BE for Siakum and Zubac please

Alternate "if KAT's in" move I've considered would be Giannis, Sengun, Cade, Giddey to AD, Jokic, Miller, Ty Jerome
Ty's last 3 out of 4 games have been unreal whilst the Cavs has nursed several guard injuries. -2 BE and Cleveland has only 3 game this week, but 4 next. Might be a nice way to generate some more cash, but is a risk depending on their injury timelines.
Furthermore, this allows me $2.8m ITB and it gets McCain off field on his 2 game week. Despite Suggs' return, Black on field will have to do.

Out of boosts
Out: Giannis, Thompson, Edey and Powell
In: Diabate, Wagner, Johnson and Williams
Vucevic stays for a round. Can flick to Jokic next round by downgrading Harden to rookie to bring McCain onfield. Did consider a one round rental of Hartenstein to replace Vucevic but feel it would be better served to grab a Sabonis/Johnson type. Prefer to field Diabate/Boston Jr over Black for the ceiling but with no boosts next round, I do not want to end up in a situation where Diabate is stuck at PF as I would much prefer to field Black and McCain and take the hit at the guard position.
Johnson could become Ball/Fox if I wish to field Diabate at PF this round.
