R. Holmes will do.

Harrell for Jrue Holiday

Kemba trying to be on a sabotage job before he leaves Urban for Habz unfortunately the gaps are too big for me to overcome tonight. Nights like this where i expected Booker to go off for 50 with 8 threes

Vibe really about to have his cake and eat it too

Come onnnn, need another turnover

Harrell and who?

I can't tell if that offer was serious or if he's trying to insult you.

GG vibe, at least I don't have to feel bad by going skiing and missing the pull on Batum, since you didn't overtake me in TO's anyway. Pulled that one off perfectly by winning assists and not losing TO's.

Bit lucky IMO but I respect that you played it and won.

Happy to see my team was only just short against a team like yours. This season continues to be not good for me but once I get Smart, Nurkic, and Love back perhaps I won't be so bad

Seth Curry

Losing both steals and blocks by 1 makes winning the beef feel less spectacular lol.

Jokic absolutely killed me with that 60 point game. Doesn't help that AD had 13 in a game this week.

If Walker and Murray can give me decent numbers it will be less easy than you think. I expect to at least give you a headache.

But maybe a single W makes me over optimistic

And the winner is... LG

Traded Jamal Murray and Coby White for Jordan Clarkson and got absolutely mauled the very next beef.

Though Urban did post ridiculous numbers and would rek most of us. But still

and yet Clarkson is still the better fantasy player with better more efficient numbers, and i picked up Gary Trent and Eric Gordon who both did far better than White and Murray. Drop it, this won't turn out like the Kyrie - McCollum trade.

Urban had an insane week. His team is not that bad after all, probably what i deserved for shittalking his team's performances in previous weeks.

Need to get back to winning ways this week, no better way than to beat the fantasy GOAT

Murray played just 1 match give him a break

Vibe wrote:Also how the fuck do you dominate so hard on rebounds and blocks when you have 8 point guards, WTF

Rebounds and blocks are my only strengths since the start. It's normal i am still legit at it. My draft really screwed me a lot. Did what i could to be competitive elsewhere, especially Westbrook allows me to trade a center. But the options are very limited, i am basically a binman with my trades. My bet is those players will go back to their standards eventually (sooner than later please)

You are that strong in 3s really ? I was hoping to compete this week ffs

Also it hurts to deal away Richaun Holmes. Was one of the few picks from rounds 8-15 i was satisfied about. The others being Washington and Boucher. But sadly he wasn't very useful in my context as he offers only what i already have plenty of.

At first i wanted Lonzo Ball, i got sent Walker instead, to me it was a no brainer looking at last night's numbers ffs i got fleeced

I felt Richuan for Walker was a bad trade, but Kemba can be great. Unfortunately he's become pretty injury prone and he just isn't going to play back to backs. It's not really excusable to miss back to backs in fantasy unless you are a GREAT player, from an owner perspective.

If Kemba plays the way he can and stays injury free, that could turn out ok. I think Richuan has more value day to day though, and is more consistent.

Well if Walker's new standards are what we saw yesterday, it is indeed a terrible trade

Still hesitated for like 10 seconds, because it's the kind of offer i wanted, here's my logic:
- My biggest obstacle is the disbalance
- Walker is the better player on a good day
- I trade a center for a guard and keep Capela/Ayton
- Holmes is reliable but he is overpraised and i doubt to obtain more at any moment

This trade i knew beforehand how it can be a trap (same as Westbrook) and still accepted it. For now it is sufficient. The missed back-to-backs will give me a chance in turnovers if anything.

Don't believe Yahoo rank it means bollocks. FG% is overrated when it comes to rate a player in fantasy. I have proofs for it, just look at everyone's overall % vs W-L record.

fg% *should* be one of the more stable stats because of how many field goals are attempted by a team. Free throws, too. However, fg% tends to be pretty even amongst a lot of teams. I'm not sure what it looks like in our league, but the difference is likely from .44 to .49 -- even if fg% is relatively stable week to week, it only takes a bad shooting night from the squad, or a very good one, to put a team over another one. Free throws are the same but more extreme, and sometimes it really screws you over. I had Mahcus Smaht go like 3-10 from the line one game. Wtf. Then he went 8/8 a couple games later.

Btw, whoever dropped draymond -- Freeza I think...thank you. I don't know if this form will last. I doubt it will, to be honest. It's really nice while it's here tho.

The guys really following the instructions tonight

Terrible way to use the game advantage last night

But somehow it gives me hope. A bit more efficiency and this team would be dangerous.

FG% is not overrated at all, you can build a team for it. KD, Steph, Kyrie, LeBron are historically great players for FG% coupled with solid, consistent centres who score well enough around the rim. Of course it becomes bit trickier to maintain it with lower order players and trying to balance the rest of your team.

and yeah i also think that will turn out to be a bad trade, Walker can have a good game here or there, but otherwise he has been potty in his Celtic's role. Should've waited like i told you to, you could have gotten Seth or Duncan from me, or both even, im just waiting for Seth to get back his pre-covid form

so it's true after all, Chris Paul changed the entire dynamic of that Suns team need his hamstring to act up more so Booker can go off (jk, i would never seriously wish injury on a player)
Porzingis also finally coming to the party (although it was against arguably the worst team in the league) i'll need him to play to his potential consistently since Book will mostly dwell between 20-25 pts and 2 threes
