Discussion NBA RDT Dream Team Discussion - RD24 Lockout - Wed 6th April @8:00am AEST

[Killerbees]

872 with Harden Morant Haliburton Mobley James Bane Jokic (C) to go - hopefully 1100+

Bit of luck, makes up for last week’s abysmal score 🙂

873 for me

Harden, Durant, Morant, Fox, Bane, siakim, jokic c

I have gobert I could have been massive this week

Like Kenny though this just closing ground from rubbish weeks

 

[Dazza]

Just can’t get all 9 players firing in the week, due to Covid, Injury or Spudness, it’s always 2-3 players that let you down

 

[Dazza]

Days of the real big round scores for the week are well and truly gone I think, remember in 2018/19 scored 1466 in week 18 and my worst score was Tobias Harris 100 pts, Best score ever was 1505 in the last round of the 2017/18 but I think that was a 1 and half week round

Unrealistic expectation to have all players firing for a week as with or without injuries or covid, there is always going to be at least one player that underperforms on their current form or seasonal average. This is where the high ceiling players such as Jokic come in handy to compensate for the inevitable underperformance by a teammate.

 

[Jay Sea]

Considering I had Gobert, I’ll take 1,011.
Trade assistance:
4 players of interest to trade out:
Gobert - Could hold and Play Yertseven
James - 2 Games, but will get 60+ for them
Bane - Decent cash cow, but only 3 games
Curry - Better today, but something is not right…

Who to trade and why? Kind of interested in Durant and Embiid. Also holding 4.5m in the bank.

**Survived the Eliminator against a good team, now have a team that looks like rubbish... Also went up 16 spots to Rank 64.

 

[Dazza]

971 pts,
having Gobert was costly
Wiggins, useless today with Thompson back, real concerns whether to keep him despite 4 games
Gobert bye bye

 

[tso]

Wow i never went down as much as first feared

747pts
Down 77
Pos 221

 

[Dazza]

971 pts, 41 overall, 41 last week so no change

Currently thinking James, Curry, Gobert to Murray, Durant, Embiid. Will re-pick up LBJ via Halliburton next week.

Are you able to trade Bane instead of Curry (via Brown and Haliburton) for D Murray or do you just fall short cash wise?

I can hold Curry, but a little nervous about the cash bleed. Also makes it a lot harder to go Halliburton to LBJ next week.

Cash bleed should be of little concern given the value of your onfield players as well as your bench and I would be more concerned about his points production. Haliburton to James will be tough and relies on Payton II and Harris holding enough value to be traded for random rookies to allow his return.

Mobley, James, A Brooks > KD, Murray, Simons (bench)

Gives

SCS league and group updates ...

- Another challenging week with so many players missing games ....
- We have 5 leagues in the top 10 ...
- The SCS NBA 5 league remains the current leader

 

[Tails]

Upcoming game schedule for the rest of the season and who plays who for the next 5 rounds ...

 

[Connoisseur]

Score: 970
Rd Rank: 280
Overall Rank: 14 (from 10)

Considering I captained Morant over Jokic, missed games from the likes of Curry, Gobert and Bane, I am very happy not to have dropped further and to still manage just shy of 1000 for the week.

Current trades:
Out: R Gobert, D Bane and T Davis
In: J Embiid, J Brown and L Stephenson


D Murray to replace Haliburton next round.

 

[Killerbees]

Finally a respect’s week

Round rank 14
Overall rank 277 - yuck

 

[Dazza]

Gobert, Wiggins, Sengun out
Durant, Tatum, Cacok in

Garland, Morant - Bones
Haliburton, Bane - Giddey
Jokic - Cacok
DeRozan, Durant - Murphy III
Greek Tatum - Layman

4 spuds on the bench, which 2 didn’t play last week

 

[Dazza]

Durant played today, plays tomorrow, a day off and then a B2B
4 games in 5 days, surely he get a rest in one of those games

Looking at the same exact starters other than DDR in place of Brown at SF1. Saves me having to repost my entire side so thanks man!

Seems like many similar teams heading into Week 13. Of course that could all change when we wake up to fresh covid lists tomorrow and maybe some unwanted WoJ tweets, leading to all too common last-minute scrambling before first lock-out.
