Hi JB
I need 3PM and want to improve FT%
Trade my LB James for P Gorege? suggest to go or hold? Thanks
Typo, should be P George
@Wilson: Eh, I don’t hate it as long as you’re ok with the FG% and TOs without the assists. In a vacuum I’m probably holding LeBron, but I get it.
@Wilson: @Slim: Yeah in a vacuum I’d hold Bron too, but I’m good with it for your needs
In my deep 12er, thinking about dropping Mo Williams (2 remaining games this week after tonight) for someone with 3 games left this week to help with my current matchup. Probably a big. Basketballmonster really likes Alexis Ajinca. Steven Adams is another option. Henson doesn’t have quite the rebounding upside as the other two I feel like, this is a 10 cat league with OREB included. Any thoughts? Thanks
@dom: I’ll go with Adams. He’s the only one with 20 min guaranteed, and the upside for 30. And like you said, he’s the better rebounder.
@dom: @Slim: Yeah with OREB a stat, I’ll agree and go with Adams
Hey JB needs some help!
First is my roster:
G-Bledsoe-Conley-Harden-Miles-Fournier (g/f)-Iguodala (g.f)-Collison (start 4)
F-Favors-Leonard-Anderson-Booker-(start 4)
C-Gobert, Lopez (start 1)
1 F/C starter position)
I was offered this trade:
I get: Otto Porter-Henson-Dragic-Burke
I give: Bledsoe-Ryan Anderson
It’s 9 cat roto. I’m hurting for rebounds and blocks. However, once Gobert comes back he should fix that. I’m not behind a ton. Let me know what you think.
Thank!
@Chris: Nope. That is not enough, like not even close to enough. Drop Henson and Burke and get a top 75ish big and I’ll think about it.
@Chris: @Slim: Yeah no way Bledsoe should go for that low a price. I like Slim’s suggestion. If say, Greg monroe was thrown in there, it’s worth considering, but still unsure. A guy like KAT makes it work
I traded Bledsoe for Millsap…. Fare value right? Plus Bledsoe’s 3pts and PTS weren’t helping me all that much.
@I’m Harden for your love: Yep, that’s fine. They both are in that 11-15 range for me. If it fits a need then I’m all for it.
@I’m Harden for your love: @Slim: Yup for sure! Both are about the same and could go either way for needs
i finally dropped Terrence Jones and now I hope his eye just falls right out
@neogonzo mourning: Hah, what if he played with a patch on?! Pirate Jones!
In a 12 team keeper, 9-cat, where do you slot drummond vs ABC. I have drummond and watch him do these crossovers and finish nicely sometimes and think wow sky is the limit but it’s so hard to punt FT every week. Where would you rank these guys and I’m thinking about offering drummond for ABC+gortat Cuz I know the owner likes Drummond and would love to do a 2for1. Gives me help this year and a good keeper in ABC. My other 2 keepers would be Brow and Hayward.
Thanks for your help
@Mic C: Whewwwww, yeah ABC is still so young. They’re pretty close. Close enough to where yeah, getting Gortat to help the lost boards makes it worth it for me. Oh you have Brow already?! Then yeah, I actually don’t mind ABC straight up even
@JB Gilpin: straight up even! Wow they’re that close for you huh. It’s tough figuring out who to target since drums ranking in yahoo is all jacked up.
@Mic C: Yeah for sure, if you’re not dedicated to a punt FT though, I think he’s not quite as upside-y as ABC
@JB Gilpin: we’ll trade accepted, my drunm + Marcus mo for ABC + gortat.
I think I make up the rebs I’m losing in drunm and not giving up anything else. I would’ve had to drop Marcus anyway.
@Mic C: Nice, love the move!
Would you rather own Bazemore or Otto Porter this week (8-cat)
@Kees: Prob still porter, but close
Barnes is staring at me on my wire asking me to adopt him. Do I drop Lawson who I just scooped up in hopes he would find trade suitors or do I let Tristan go(hate his game, but he gets those OREBS) Also have Dieng and Leuer who are fringy guys on my team. HALP
@v00dr00: And T Jones(WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?) who I got in what was once a fantasy steal when I dealt Marcus Morris to a frustrated owner. Guess who feels like an idiot now? Still can’t bring myself to straight drop his ass though.
@v00dr00: Definitely drop Lawson… he’s doing absolutely nothing.
@v00dr00: @Good STUFF: Sounds about right.
@Good STUFF: @v00dr00: Yup Lawson can go for Barnes 100%. Def looks like Tristan is going for some streaming for me too, tough to own fringy/upside guys in multiples
@JB Gilpin: Appreciate it fellas!
@v00dr00: Any time!
searching for a spot to stream…who do you throw out of chandler/ Tjones?
@Jeff: Def Chandler. He’s garbage.
@Jeff: @Matt: Yeah Chandler for me too, but I do think he is usable at some point this yr once healthy
drop terrence jones or danny green for felton??? its getting pretty annoying
@sebapargue: Yikes having both is tough, sure D Green can go for Felton while hot, then move on
Love listening to this guys! whenever I have time its such an informative listen, even if you guys have the most insane humor! hahaha
korver was just dropped in my 10 teamer..
10 team default scoring (no max moves a week!)
PG: Bledsoe, IT3, Payton, J. Clarkson
SG: Harden
SF: PG13, Gallinari
PF: #Occupy, Favors, T. Jones
C: Hibbert, Sullinger , Gortat
would you drop hibbert/tjones for korver? dont really need more 3’s, but better players are better?
and while waiting on the korver wire, would you just drop both hibbert and tjones to stream 2 players nightly?
Thanks so much guys!
@Wutang: oh and by the way for the 30 point challenge, give me Kevin Love in his Olynyk revenge game!
@Wutang: Haha nice 30pt challenge call!
Hahaha thanks for listening! I don’t think we’d have the drive to do it if we didn’t think we were different in some way, so we appreciate that 🙂
Yeah ‘d prob grab Korver for Tjones and immediately look at a sell high, maybe IT2/3. Def would be streaming the other spot as well (Hibbert). Any time!
Deep 12 team h2h 9 cat
For best upside ROS would you rather roster M Barnes or Olynyk?
@jcg: upside ROS I gotta take Olynyk, but I can’t imagine in most redraft leagues with streaming owning Olynyk over Barnes for right now
Drop Fournier for Marvin Williams?
@I am the Walrus: Nah Williams is up and down too, I think I’d hold Fournier there for the upside
Would greatly appreciate your opinion on a trade…
My Tobias Harris for Nerlens Noel (Hope he gets traded?)
12 Team 14 Player H2H 9Cat (DD instead of TO)
Alex Len
Patrick Beverley
Julius Randle
Elfrid
Payton
Carter
Williams
Michael
Gorgui Dieng
Jae Crowder
Deron Williams
Marcin Gortat
Tobias Harris
Nicolas Batum
Rudy Gobert
Gordon Hayward
Stephen Curry
@sajond: Man, that format helps Noel soooooooooo much. That said, I think I’d want a little more with noel struggling so much
30 Point Challenge pick – Wiggins because he’s off Slim’s REL team
@Kevin: Haha you sir are a god amongst men!
How do you feel about a TJones drop for a Nurk stash?
@miles proudfoot: Mehhhh, the minutes limit for Nurk for a while have me thinking I wouldn’t do it until he’s back on the floor
Hi guy, great stuff as always.
I got to commend you this year on the way your able to not feel pressured by the hype on some guys and to not rank them high and therefore we avoided them on draft days
eg aminu plumlee and are a few others
although there were some missed just as gordon stanely johnson and myles turner
but i think you definitley were in the positive when it came to the sleepers this year. good work
Melo owner has come asking what he could get back for him I was thinking something along the lines of
my bosh and deron for melo and conley
Bosh and deron both performing better so far so am doing it mainly for injury risk. But i feel boht melo and conley have just as high injury risk as deron?
is this worth doing or should i be asking for more, bosh looks like hell keep beasting this year
@d-dawg: Thanks man! Yup that’s the fun of the game, if everyone was right, fantasy wouldnt be fun at all. it’s about trying to find a few stats, gut instincts, trying to watch as much as you can, and most importantly – try to bring your thoughts in a different way, that’s out big thing.
Yup I love that deal for you! I still don’t think Melo and Bosh are far off, if off at all, and even though I’m not a big COnley guy, still like him over Deron.
@d-dawg: Mirotic!
@d-dawg: @Slim: Oh yeah! Our fears of his bad D became true almost right away!
@JB Gilpin:
yer stuff like this as you were saying in the podcast would be really cool to look at. Compared your notes and expectations and you can be as biased as you want with your review of your own were *cough cough bruski 150 review* (but serisouly that guy made it seem every pick he made was perfect and it was only due other reasons why people were projected differently)
anyway the guy i am trading with has come back and now want my marc gasol and elfird payton for melo and conley
i really dont think that the trade is worth it with elfird going to only get better to go on through the year.. thoughts?
@d-dawg: Haha well we def do rankings reviews at the end of the year, but wow I guess we forgot last year! I only seem em for 2013-14: http://basketball.razzball.com/rankings-finale
http://basketball.razzball.com/rankings-recap-2013-14-fantasy-basketball-top-50
http://basketball.razzball.com/rankings-recap-2013-14-fantasy-basketball-top-75
http://basketball.razzball.com/rankings-recap-2013-14-fantasy-basketball-top-100
Yeah I’m still a big Elfrid fan. It’s razzzzzor close, I think if you needed scoring it works, but otherwise likely holding. Cripples AST
@JB Gilpin:
yer i have been only one year listener so last year i didnt see any. but the end of the year people often get quite tired of nba fantasy so i miss a lot of teh stuff at the end.
a mid year one would be sweet like done on the podcast just looking back at the projecitons and see if anything changes going into second half of the year.
yer i have been proposed it and im not the biggest melo fan so i may just stay where i am. hurts my blocks and assists too much.
@d-dawg: Hah yeah I know, it’s a long draining season. Why I don’t keep up with the playoffs much. Hmmm, cool thought! Yeah maybe ASB or closer to midway through like in late Jan we do that. Cool, yeah I’m good with holding even off a nice Melo game
But there’s nothing like the last line in ‘The World Is Not Enough’:
“I thought Christmas only came once a year” (as he’s boning Denise Richards’ character, Christmas Jones)
@Guy Fieri’s Krispy Pork Zingers: Hahahaha totally forgot about that one. I loved Goledneye, Tomo Never Dies was OK, then it got awful for poor Pierce…
@JB Gilpin @Guy Fieri’s Krispy Pork Zingers: And how about Denise Richards being cast as a geologist, was it? And a leading one in the field, at that. Because we all know that top-notch scholarly types have hard bodies and dress like Tomb Raider. But yes, Goldeneye was an absolute experience when it came out. And Famke Jansen was damn near unrecognisable as the super hot Russian villainess, Onatop (compared to her in the XMen movies). Ha, Onatop… Pussy Galore… Octopussy…. Fleming was such a perve!
@Guy Fieri’s Krispy Pork Zingers: @Lasandro: Hahaha for sure. Denis Richards was bad, but then the ice one after that was pretty awful too, especially that like parasailing part or whatever, off the wave in the ocean
Just dropped Jones like the morning after eating Indian. It burned sooo much but I felt like a new man right after! Too personal? Anywho I now have a streaming spot which feels greats cause its in a 10 team league and there’s still above average talent on the wire and just picked up Matt Barnes so see if can stick in the starting line up then someone had to drop BEAL!!! Is Beal just another headache or is he worth picking up?
@I’m Harden for your love: Haha nice! Bet it feels great! Yeah in a 10er, streaming is paramount. Ohhhhh man. Yeah I think Beal needs to be owned, he came back from this before and performed well, but it is scary it’s the 3rd or 4th time
@JB Gilpin:
So you’d be willing to drop Barnes my only streaming spot to pick up Beal and sit on him for a few weeks?
@I’m Harden for your love: I HATE HARD QUESTIONS! Yeah I’d probably have to add Beal
Been loving the podcast guys, always look forward to listening at work! Like the Love revenge game pick above, but gimme the pizza guy for 30 tonight.
@The Gintern: Thanks for listening man! That’s a good one! Cavs G play is still pretty meh
Hey JB and Slim,
May you please rank: pbev, m.Barnes and Bazemore. I have P.Bev, but like the stats the latter 2 are putting up.. but will they keep it going?
Also, I have to ask, why do you guye like Wiggins? I don’t get the appeal thus far.
@Mari: Yikes, that’s tough since all kinda do different things. Barnes #1 for me right now, probably owning Pbev 2nd for me personally. Pbev could be #1 if AST need. All about upside for Wiggins, he shows in stretches the D stats and is taking more 3s, it’s still not coming fully together yet. Still a long season and not like he’s been unusable
@JB Gilpin:
I’m looking for a, more or less, well-rounded player that shoots treys. So, I guess you’re saying, of the three, PBev for the ROS? And Barnes for the current hot hand?
I’m not sure about Wiggins. Statistically, he’s been a Afflalo with more points.
@Mari: Yup, 100% there. Pbev should easily have that role ROS, never know if Grizz change things up again. 1.3 stl+blk is still a lot different than 0.3 combined (afflalo). And I expect it to keep rising
Ayyy JB and Slim! keep up the great pods… I grew up with the pierce brosnan Bond movies, never really realized how ridiculous they were until nowadays haha!
Anyways, just wanted to drop in my pick for the 30 point challenge: Danilo Gallinari! he’s overdue for a breakout
@jdubs: Haha thanks for listening man! Yeah that line caught me by surprise too since I didn’t get it in middle school. He’ll need to get hot at this point, but rooster could!
Give me Giannis for 30 against that terrible lakers D!
@Patty Mills is my homeboy: Hah that’s the right matchup!
Could you please rank thabo, crabbe, and Gary Harris. Also, I’ll take Kevin love for 30 tonight.
@Andrew Ringer: Prob Harris, Crabbe Thabo. 20 was pretty solid, closest of all eligible in that game!
Hey JB & Slim, got offered George Hill for Clarkson. Clarkson seems more upsidey with potential Kobe injury (and more fun to watch “individually, not the team”), yet Hill has way better playoffs.
Standard Yahoo 12 Team H2H
PGs: Wall, RJax, Elf on the Shelf, Monta, Clarkson
SG: Wiggins, KCP, Joe Johnson
PF: Aaron Gordon, TJones
C: Gobert, Favors, Amir Johnson, Ed Davis
@Kozmonaut: Yeah it’s close right now, I think Hill is the solid, safer guy
It2 30 point challenge
@Niko Cola Chaz: Yikes 3-15 from the field, I thought that would be a lot closer!
Hey, JB! Wes Matthews or Zach LaVine? Thanks!
@Jerry: Hey man! I’ll stick with Matthews. Although LaVine looks great tonight and is playing some SG. Very close to must own
Greg Monroe for the 30 point challenge
@Rob: Moose gettin loose!
Mitchell has hinted that he’ll be changing the starting lienup soon. If Dieng gets inserted, does he become more of a must-own than Noah in my shallow roto, or is it needs based (in my case, brds, blks & asts)? And would trading my Barton for a starting Lavine be a good move or fairly neutral?
Was surprised/disappointed that y’all mentioned that Barton is the only consistent player on the Nugs but didn’t elaborate on his awesomeness and rank him in comparison to other hot pickups like M Barnes, Burkes, Felton and Mayo. Even Clarkson is available in my L but don’t think I wanna drop Barton for him. Aside from my Jimmy-addiction, I’m sailing half-mast on the Barton Seas, these days. And those sweet outta-position brds and dimes mm..
@Lasandro: I dunno about making any moves just yet, if Dieng played consistently 30+ mins, yeah he’s over Noah. Hah we can’t rank every player vs 4 others every show! He’s not really a hot pickup though… He’s over those guys, maybe not Alec Burks.
This may sound crazy… but is Wiggins droppable?
Not necessarily dying for points, and he really provides next to no value other than points (and doesn’t even hit threes).
Can he be dropped for someone like Omri Casspi?
@Jay: For Casspi? Oh no. If the league was super shallow and guys like Barton, Clarkson were on the wire, maaaaybe. But seriously doubt Wiggy is close to droppable. You could try and ship him off to someone who perhaps sees the upside in him? I totally get the frustration though. Hang in there
@Lasandro: 10 man league, but I’m in desperate need of a shot blocker next to KAT and Millsap since Nerlens has all of a sudden forgotten how to play defense. Dropped Jerami Grant for Casspi after that game he had tonight though. Here’s my squad (standard 10 cat H2H with OREB):
Damian Lillard
James Harden
Tyreke Evans
Paul Millsap
Karl-Anthony Towns
Mike Conley
Thaddeus Young
Jarrett Jack
Zaza Pachulia
Nerlens Noel
Andrew Wiggins
Omri Casspi
Raymond Felton
@Jay: Al Jeff is also an option since he’s on the wire, but other than him, Jerami, and the other streamers for blocks (Amir Johnson, Steven Adams, Capela, etc.), there’s really no one else. Is Al Jeff worth picking up?
@Jay: grant was a great blocks guy.
@Jay: I speak of Wiggins, of course
@Lasandro: I’m not sure that this upside is going to materialize this season. I mean, he scored 23 points, and that’s great, but he contributed virtually nothing else. So when we speak of upside, he’s kind of becoming like Meyers Leonard to me (sorry JB!).
@Mari: Yeah, it’s hard to argue. The whole upside spiel from @JB Gilpin and @Slim I believe is based on his post-ASB run last season. Thing is, I wasn’t buying that he’d be even able to replicate those numbers, let alone surpass them, this season with a ever-improving KAT and a now-ready Lavine. KMart will eat into that usage any given night but he may be gone come trade deadline. Either way, it’s hard to see the guy chip in those nice blks and stls numbers. He really should be rebounding a lot better, too. Basically what Barton is doing in DEN these days (brds, D stats) is what I think many hoped for from Wiggy, in addition to his 20ppg with high volume FTMs and solid %s. On top of it all, he doesn’t come across as a “me first” kinda guy, whereas KAT and even Lavine do. Having the tools (which he does) is one thing – that killer instinct is a necessity. He’s fairly aggressive on offense but that’s it. I’m not a hater but he ain’t a top30 guy for me..
@Jay: If blks are your need, I def woulda kept Grant over Casspi. Johnson is nice IF guaranteed mins, which he’s not. If someone like Bogut is out there, I’d grab him as he’s a per minute beast with D stats and even brds. Al jef is def the most talented guy out there but he won’t be playing for another two weeks and I just don’t know how the surging Hornets are gonna insert him back into the lineup and slow their fast pace back down. Dare I say, he may get the recent ZBo treatment. Check if PBev and M Barnes (doubt it) are also available for those out of position D stats. But Grant is still my pick as a wing who can get major blocks. He got 5 or something his last game, chamon!
@Lasandro: Definitely feel you on Grant, but Omri’s production lately (points, threes (which I also need), boards, and even a few assists) along with his insane per game minute totals was just too much to pass up.
Bogut and PBev are still out there, but with this league geared towards boards (and me having a bunch of guards as it is), PBev is essentially out of the equation except for streaming purposes. Bogut would work, but this timeshare that he’s on with Festus is annoying, and there are times where Festus clearly looks like the better player between the two. Also doesn’t help that Bogut only plays 20ish minutes per game and that GSW is a team that thrives with a small ball lineup.
May consider Grant in place of Omri, but I’m playing one of the weaker squads in blocks this week and am only up by one 3PM. Also don’t know if Grant is worth holding onto versus just being a streamer.
@Mari: That’s what I’m saying… and it’s becoming a recurring theme. Kinda hard to drop him for essentially nothing since he was my 5th pick, but something’s gotta be done. Anyone I should target in a trade who’s a little more rounded (preferably someone who’ll chip in 3’s and/or blocks with solid percentages)?
@Jay: Rudy Gay is a solid, yet uninspiring, option.
@Lasandro: He’s solid… just highly doubt that particular owner will take Wiggins for him. I know I sure wouldn’t.
@Jay: Oh you’d be surprised man! I know the owner of Wiggins in MY shallow league wouldn’t take Gay for Wiggins, on account os said upside. So you should def float something the next time Wiggy has himself a nice outing.
@Lasandro: @Jay: @Good STUFF: @Mari: @Jay: @Lasandro: Absoluteeeeeeeeellllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy not! I mean you have Felton on there, he’s obviously cuttable for a blocker.
Ok camon, Meyers Leonard doesn’t even score 10 pts. Double the blocks, same 3s, almost triple the pts. Yeah holding Grant woulda made sense.
Yeah I would probably take Gay for wiggins. What I would do, it looks at teams in the bottom 2-3 teams of scoring. Also punt FT teams would prob like him, even though his Ft% isn’t stellar, but they’re likely low in scoring too.
@JB Gilpin: Wiggins is comparable to Meyer in the sense that they are both players hyped up for their hypothetical upside. But I don’t see it. The difference is that Meyers is an absolute hype job and Wiggins will become better as his career progresses–just not now, from what I see.
@Mari: OH OK, not in a stats sense, I get what you mean. Wiggins looked good last night. Still think it can keep developing this yr
JB, I’d like to apologize for what I’m about to do, I’m about to ship Wiggins to another team for Dragic. So basically I’ll be using him as a buylow offer. Goran’s numbers IF he does turn the corner I think would be better than what Wiggins can give his owners this season. The steals and treys just aren’t there for Wiggins, boards are low and assists are almost nonexistent. I’m hopping off our Wiggins bandwagon for now, but I’ll definitely comeback next season. Hah. Anyway, if you have anybody else in my mind that I could target for Awiggins, like Teague or Poison G. Thanks bud
@Dante Green: Hah, well no apologies needed but I still wouldnt do it. I dunno if Goose does it, maybe Teague could work though
What about Favors for porzingis and thaddeus young ? only doubt is porzingis and his ability to maintain the numbers he has right now…
@Nicolas: and would you trade wiggins for reggie?
or even for porzingis?
@Dante Green: @Nicolas: Adding Dante for comment above, yeah I think I would have to take Reggie there. I’d take Goose probably too if big man need. I dunno about the Favors one, seems risky given porzy is so young and could fade
Start 2 tonight: Porter, Bazemore, or Fournier?
Leaning towards benching Porter since they’re playing the Spurs… Or Bazmore since Philly game might be a blow out… Or Fournier cuz he has just been awful
Btw why do you prefer burks over Bazemore? Seems like Bazemore provides more stocks
Thanks!!
@Good STUFF: Haha, I’m leaving out a cold Fournier right now. Well burks I think will always have his role. Bazemore I worry could come off the bench again. I get the upside, but I think burks is safer.
@JB Gilpin: If only I didn’t use my #1 waiver on Fournier, and prioritized Burks instead….. I guess I have to hold
Do you think I can get Burks by sending just Bazemore? Or I’ll need to add in Fournier for Korver
I’m maybe considering sending Oladipo and Bazemore for his Burks and Okafor. Considering this is a keeper league and I could use another big.
@Good STUFF: Well just a week or two ago, Fournier def was the guy. Hmmm, I might get Korver for that spot, a ton of options though. And/or stream. Meeehhhhh, I’m still not a huge Okafor fan, I think Oladipo in a keeper could bring more
I keep hearing about whitesides departure in 8 weeks. Is there someone we should be keeping an eye on or speculative add in a weekly league. (assuming not markieff or Ryan Anderson, but FA’s)
@James: I’m not sure what the Heat will do. They can’t afford to resign Whiteside but he gives them the best chance to win now which is what all the Heat vets want. If they can lose Whiteside and get a Howard or god forbid Cousins then I imagine they’ll do it, even if they can’t keep the players. Not sure how the contracts will work in a trade though since Whiteside is currently extremely low. I don’t know what they’re gonna do. I vote for keep Whiteside and see how deep of a playoff run they can manage.
Top of my head…
Shabazz if KMart is delt.
Larkin if the Nets blow it up.
Oubre if Porter and Beal miss significant time.
Stanley Johnson if anyone in DET goes down.
Anthony Brown is a possibility late in the year but only in the deepest of leagues.
It’s tough with trades though because you don’t know who they’ll be getting back. Like Whiteside only gets traded for a direct replacement at center so there’s no backup that would get extra run.
@James: @Slim: God forbid Cousins? You don’t want him? But I agree, I think you try to win with Whiteside now, maybe a deep run will make him want to stay.
Ummm, maybe Gallo gets moved if Barton is somehow unowned, but Barton is fine anyway.
@JB Gilpin:
Thanks jb. thanks Slim for that breakdown and possible candidates to keep an eye on. Much appreciated!
@JB Gilpin: How they do doesn’t matter. They simple can’t afford to pay him. I guess it kind of comes down to Whiteside or Wade but there is zero chance they pick Whiteside over Mr.Franchise. Whiteside would have to turn down $16+ mil a year and accept a deal that pays in the $6-$8 range tops to stay in Miami. It’s just not going to happen.
@JB Gilpin: Oh and I meant god forbid the Kings actually trade him, as in they would be stupid, but since it’s the Kings I guess it’s possible.
@James: @Slim: Ah gotcha, I thought you meant that as a Heat fan. Cousins straight up for Whiteside would be nutssssssss. I didn’t realize the Heat were that strapped.
I am just wondering can you give me a quick analysis and possible trades I could try to improve my team.
8 team, H2H, 8-cat.
This is my team:
Kemba Walker
Gordon Hayward
Otto Porter
Anthony Davis
Rudy Gobert
Jeff Teague
Danilo Gallinari
Al Horford
Derrick Rose
Marcin Gortat
Jimmy Butler
Victor Oladipo
George Hill
Also I am thinking about buying low on Porzingis. Would Walker and Gallo for his Porzingis be fair?
@Kees: Looks good, love your bigs. I dunno if Porzingis is a buy low after last night, and I dunno if you need him that bad. I think Kemba/Gallo is an overpay. I don’t see many holes, I’m sure you’re doing well, maybe FG% at times is bad? BUt I don’t see much
