You mean, they need to directly match up?

I dont quite get that.

So, lets make up a fake scenario for a second.

Lets say Klay comes back at 90% what he was. Green on a title team we know is a better player. You trade Wiseman, Wiggins and a pick for Pascal.

Green, Pascal, Klay, Curry and a 5th guy get knocked out by the Clippers in the Western finals.

Kyrie goes on a meditation retreat and doesnt play in the finals. KD and Harden beat the Clippers in the finals anyway.

Because Curry and KD didnt directly match up, Curry is still the better player in your view?

by El Gunner Tue Jul 27, 2021 1:24 pm

in that scenario it's all context depended and not only results depended. Depends on how the losses and wins happen, did Curry come up short in most pivotal moments, did KD do most the heavy scoring in pivotal moments, etc etc

Makes sense.

Well, these things are obviously subjective and I dont think anyone here is saying anything wildly outrageous.

In other news.

BREAKING: Memphis is finalizing a trade to send Jonas Valanciunas and 2021 Nos. 17 and 51 picks to New Orleans for Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe, 2021 picks Nos. 10 and 40 and a protected 2022 first-round pick via the Lakers, sources tell ESPN.

I have always like Val, in another era he'd be better utilized. The 10th pick is alot to give up, but I guess thats the cost of the Bledsoe contract too.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Jul 27, 2021 5:53 pm

We no longer have to worry about Bledsoe, it's the only thing that matters.

He no longer can hurt us.

I want nothing more than Klay to come back to form. He is so so good. Always come up in the big matches. Very high basketball IQ. Golden.

by El Gunner Tue Jul 27, 2021 8:50 pm

Memphis were fleeced, Jonas thrived with them. Unbelievable.

by El Gunner Tue Jul 27, 2021 9:16 pm

by the way @Blue pls do stick around for more NBA discussions. And let us know if you are interested in NBA fantasy, both you and Dani, it's a fun way of helping you stay invested throughout the long regular season which can sometimes get boring and arduous. We're always on the look-out for one or two more guys to fill in in case someone drops out or can't make it last minute.

While I'm happy i do understand it from their pov, they excell at drafting so might as well get more picks if you can.

Also now is kinda the time to find out if Jaren Jackson is really that guy or not.

Count me in for fantasy.

by El Gunner Wed Jul 28, 2021 7:35 pm

as far as i recall we're currently a full 10 though... Arq said he'd join us in place of CB's buddy who barely updated his team this season. We'll keep you on standby though Thumbs up

otherwise Blue can join in as well if he is interested and we can go 12 and just decrease the amount of players for each team back to the old format. We'll have to hear what the rest of the gang thinks about that though

We'll make it work. I've heard that Dani has been a successful fantasy player before. I look forward to whooping his ass

by The Franchise Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:00 pm

I dont remember, I think I finished 2nd twice in a row before.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:42 pm

If memory serves you won the first 2 and i won the next two.

Then you ran from the ass whooping.

Spoiler:

Sunday nights are shit without fantasy

by Vibe Thu Jul 29, 2021 8:10 pm

I love fantasy banana

by El Gunner Thu Jul 29, 2021 8:35 pm

just letting you know Dani, i'm the reigning, defending champion and i've been the best fantasy player 3 years running :coffee:

and whenever we're discussing anything fantasy related, I'm to be addressed as "King Booker"

Spoiler:

I win twice after and then I got absolutely pummeled the next two (technically one, since no one won last year)

Didn’t Dani win three in a row?

Who else has won?

by Freeza Thu Jul 29, 2021 10:28 pm

Really got my three favourite players not named Lonzo Ball on my team now Proud

Got rid of Kuzma = worth more than anything

by Freeza Thu Jul 29, 2021 10:29 pm

by El Gunner Thu Jul 29, 2021 10:43 pm
