GL NBA Fantasy 2018/19

Two categories over one nobody's perfect.

Besides he's a rookie, all the chance that will rise throughout the season as he gets more comfortable to the NBA style and learns to take wiser shots. Young ain't no deadass bum, and I ain't intent on letting him go for know deadass deal as well. He's got value.

How about Aldridge + Fournier for Jordan + Young

I'm not gonna respond if you're just going to argue in bad faith.

Doesn't matter how many times I stress that I know that Doncic has higher upside and I take that into account or that it was a 2 for 1 you seem fixated on incorrectly asserting I was putting up Hield for Butler and that was the same as Doncic for Butler.

Now you're trying to make it seem like Covington is some bum by referring to him by his pts and rebs when you know full well that his value lies in his defensive stats, although he has *respectable* stats otherwise.

You can continue to underrated Hield though. I wonder if it's a denial mechanism due to trading him away for half a season of Cousins

Yes but his points and assists aren't winning a category by themselves while his bad FG% can easily lose that by himself.

In any case you guys are paying way too much attention to current stats, it's still way too early and average stats are extremely volatile.

Right now it's better to project what will be than what is, trades are about selling high or low based on future projections.

Nobody should be making current trades based on current value.

Unless you project current value to be sustainable*

I'm really not, i could care less about the trade tbh. Cousins trade was necessary, without it we don't make the playoffs without the trade, Rondo isn't signed and Jrue doesn't significantly improve, Mirotic trade doesn't happen and Randle doesn't happen.

Hield doesn't do half of what he's currently doing for us, besides last year he was averaging 13 a game so sorry for thinking 18 a game isn't something he's likely to sustain over a 82 game season.

Also what defensive stats for Covington? The extra 2 steals a game? That's really not enough to justify what you're trying to justify tbh.

I'd give too much for what i receive. Fournier is worth more than just a throw-in, he got his shit together recently. Plus it doesn't solve my Timberwolves problem.

Btw FG% is not my problem, i already take into account that i lose this category every week. So many players who drag it down that i can't fix it.

Wait but haven't you agreed a deal with CB for Covington?

Two players from one team ain't that bad.

Deal isn't agreed

Although I have more respect for Warrior than you do given the deal you've offered imo

We haven't decided already, but this transfer with CBucks is my priority. No need for me to make 2 trades in the same day.

Your offer is very kind to him yes, but that doesn't warrant you saying anything about my offer
Jordan has a top 50 rank higher than both of the players I was asking for in return (Aldridge and Fournier), and Young covers Fournier's points and doubles his assists, with an upside of having the whole season still to improve his FG%, besides the man himself said he doesn't care about FG%

But you sing your song CBuck.

That's fair I apologize. Well, I disagree on your valuation but everyone over values their own players including me, so that's expected.

@Warrior after further thinking, I would do Eric Gordon/Allen for Covington/Schroder. I think that the previous deal was pretty fair overall but stats wise I just don't think it helps me as much as I thought.

If you don't want to do that deal that's fair enough, no hard feelings.

If Nurkic becomes available in the future you'll be the first one to know

Fair enough, i choose to wait, you already know my targets and i know yours.
As the season evolves there will be opportunities to make a deal

I inquired about Nurkic earlier in this thread.

I'll do business with others then. Vibe owes me for that Otto deception.

For the life of me I do not understand how I don't compete in steals with the many guards I have in my team. I don't think I have won that category this season at all.

Because Harden aside none of them actually get any steals with regularity.

Moel Embiid comissioned more games for his players, it's damage limitation for me. At least I might win the turnovers category for the first and probably last time. Boy, do my guys love to turn it over.

stealing isn't really a specialist basketball technique, yes some players are more hands on and flexible and reactive than others, but surely I just need more luck

I thought I was the turnover king
I actually beat you by one turnover when we faced off in week 1

Yes it is lol, there's clearly a reason why certain guys consistently average above 2 every season and some don't even get close.

It's not luck lol, you can choose to believe that if you want but you'll be waiting a long time for it to happen.

The categories you are winning atm are locks tbh, no way do i win turnovers or FG%.

I tried to pick him back immediately Porter is good, shoots good percentages and gets something all around, you lose patience too fast. Wizards just need to sort themselves out. He got like 15 rebounds yesterday and 15 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block. Overall good fantasy player, shouldn't have dropped him, not everyone is a triple double player.

I agree based on his past.

He hasn't been this year though, i suspect his numbers will get better once trades happen but it's hard to trust in it with Washington being such a mess.

just beating you alone on steals would be so worth it.
Watch the divine work of karma and chance unfold right before your very eyes.

EDIT: lol actually looking back I beat Nick and Art on steals with a decent margin, and I lost to you and CB only by 1 on it. I think I mixed up my ill-tempered feelings toward blocks with steals, smh.

You are right on both, he is a good fantasy option to have, but at the moment as a low-end player, not really the mid-option I'd like to have in my team, and yes I am impatient.

I dropped him because there were lots of other free agents who can give me more points and maybe even threes atm. Which is what I am focusing on over rebounds. His rebounds are nice, but there are actually some other players out there as well who can get similar number of rebounds.

A new setup at, or away from, Washington might do him good.

Stop taking it so personal lol

Warrior was the very first person to inquire. If Nurkic became available everyone who was interested would have a chance.

But I have a vested interest in one of his players so it shouldn't surprise if I went directly to Warrior first to evaluate a trade.

In the meantime EG, tell your boys Durant and Klay to stop sucking from three. Klay is at least hitting them, but at a career low rate. Durant is barely even attempting threes

They're still doing decently but really not producing in the 3PM category like I wanted them to
