Julius Caesar was a brilliant tactician and politician, who expanded the Roman Empire. He got greedy, though, when he declared himself dictator. As a result, members of the Roman Senate conspired and stabbed him in the back, both literally and figuratively. Julius Randle is a no-nonsense player who bullies defenders down low. Bull in a china shop is an apt description, especially since he’s 6′ 9″ and 250 pounds. After he spent the first four years of his career in Los Angeles, he took his talents to New Orleans and didn’t mess around. He was the same bull that he had been with the Lakers. Last night, though….

….Julius did mess around, notching his sixth career triple-dub. In only 25 minutes! There’s been nothing but love for Julius in New Orleans, as he provides the team with a physical presence down low, who can also be a playmaker for the third-fastest team in the NBA for offensive pace. Ain’t nobody stabbing this Julius in the back. From a fantasy perspective, though, don’t go slicing and dicing your team to acquire his services. He’s a fine player, as he’s currently the 87th player according to Basketball Monster. The issues are the limited minutes, lack of threeecolas, low assists, and miniscule defensive contributions. Hopefully no one comes and stabs me in the back now.
Here’s what else I saw last night:
The Jazz got spanked 94-121, so minutes and production were off beat last night. Usually, that calls for NO BLURBS FOR YOU!!! But….

The two prior games before last night, Juancho had provided 20/11 and 25/9. He’s a great shooter, but even the Great Juancho has an off night from time to time. He’s starting, getting the minutes, and receiving the shot attempts. It’s nice that he’s provided 7, 11, 9, and 9 rebounds the past four games. A Hernangomez has been freed this year. It just wasn’t Willy. I guess the censors wouldn’t allow that to happen. Anyways, when Will Barton returns, Juancho could be negatively affected, but let’s deal with that when it happens.

Hi, man I missed a line about SGA 😀
@Max: Ha! He wasn’t good enough or poor enough to make the post
@Son: Mcgee and Ibaka just become available in my leagues FA. Should I drop Turner or WCS for any of them? Turner is starting to heat up and WCS is decent rebounder but maybe Ibaka would help me? What is Ibaka perspective in long term?
@Max: Do you have unlimited daily moves? I like Ibaka this year. He’s been fantastic, but in a shallow league like yours, I’d just stream the matchups.
@Son: by saying “in a shallow league like yours, I’d just stream the matchups”, you mean that i should always have one player streaming from fa? But what if everyone are too good to drop?
@Max: Should have as many streaming spots as possible and utilize games played because the shallower the league, the more viable options are available on the wire
@Son: but I can not drop players like Sga or JJJ for streaming. They would be scooped pretty fast. Or streaming should be more important that losing sga to somebody else?
@Max: If you believe in a player, then you hold him.
@Son: one thing to mention that Nurkic is also in my team but i think he is solid so he is not on the dropping conversation. One more thing is that in the future i will drop turner or wcs for markanen, when he heals. So now i have to decide who to drop or dont drop for ibaka and later for markanen. Or maybe i should be having ibaka and markanen and drop both turner and wcs?
@Max: I’d rather have Ibaka than WCS regardless. What’s the league set up? Daily or weekly moves? Unlimited?
@Son: 3 moves a week. So you say i should keep turner instead of wcs?
@Max: Thats what I would do
@Son: also, knowing ibakas age and that he have to split minutes with really good backup center like valanciunas, you still choose him over wcs?
@Max: I do because he brings more to the table but I get the age aspect. There’s a balance between juggling short and long term. Plus, everyone has a different vision, so tailor everything to that.
@Son: ibaka fg and ft are so sweet, i can not say no to that. But i traded wcs for klay:(((( droping him is heartbreakig.
@Max: Provides some D and 3s as well. You traded WCS for Klay?
@Son: i traded klay to somebody else, and the to wcs. It was a rookie mistake. I really needed somebody big, and at that time wcs was having really good stats.
@Max: That’s right. I remember now
Hey man, what’s good! We’re spot on with the Wiz shituation. We were just talking about it in the other post and I had no idea that Wall cussed at his coach, and Beal went Butler at his teammates during practice.

I know for weeks I’ve been saying that we need a C3 and that we keep failing at finding one. Tried Bamba and M. Rob, wasn’t a good experience, so now I’m shifting my focus on looking for a reliable PF2. I’m looking into Siakam, and I will need to give up Spencer. I love me some Spence but I’m sticking with my punt-assist build, and whoever helps boost FG is welcome to my squad. Would you do it? I would lose treys but Forbes is still on the wire, he definitely would help with 3s and fill in the PG position left by Spence. With regards to points, Siakam has proven so far this season that he can score so I don’t think that that would be a problem.
What do you think buddy?
@I just wanna Kawhi: I love Siakam, but not as much as you love Kawhi-ing.
@Son:
Ha! Let the OPJ drama continue! I’m finally embracing the drama! Thanks bud!
@I just wanna Kawhi: Ha! You know you love it like my momma loves watching Korean dramas!!!
@Son:
Bud, do you think FVV’s 20 min per contest is enough to warrant a pickup? Was eyeing Forbes but he just got snagged! Ugh
@I just wanna Kawhi: I’d be good with FVV
@Son:
Thanks man!
@I just wanna Kawhi: Anytime my man!
AYYYO!
What it do Son ?! Thanks for another installment of what you saw.
Would you make any swaps here ? –
Russell/Lonzo/Dunn/Tyreke
P. George/Tobias/Lamb/Saric/Osman/Knox
Embiid/Gobert/Bamba/Robinson/Taj
The guys on my chopping block – Taj/Robinson/Knox maybe Tyreke/Osman
The guys I’m looking at – JaMychal Green/Temple/KCP
Payton was just dropped.
Anything doing here ?
@Mr. Blast: AYYYO! Naw, I think you’re good
Hey son! Would you take Danny Green, Crowder, or Nance in a h2h 9-cat? Who has the highest pure ranking value ROS? Thank you
Nance out of the three, but that could change if/when Love returns.
@Son:
Man, I’ve been holding this guy through all his duds. He finally showed up when he was starting but once Cedi comes back he posts another dud.
Yeah, I hear ya, but per minute he produces.
Hello-
12 Team Keeper League — Would you trade:
Fox FOR Teague/Nurkic
My Team:
PG: Curry/Fox/Shai/Rozier/Lin
SG: Harden/McGrueder/Lamb/Wade
SF: Hardaway/Hayward/Mikal Bridges
PF: Giannis/Barnes/JJJ
C:Valenciunas/Sabonis/WCJ/Len
I like Fox, but it does fit your squad
@Son:
So you would do it?
@Jeff: I wouldn’t, but that’s because I’ve never been a Teague or Nurkic guy and I’m high on Fox, but it does make sense for your squad.
@Son:
what about if i trade Harden for Jokic?
@jeff: Now we’re talking. I was going to suggest Curry or Harden for a C upgrade. I kind of prefer trading Curry
@Son:
He wont do Curry. Should i ask for 2019 2nd rd pick to go with it?
@jeff: Have your diplomats talk to their diplomats and see how they are willing to give
What do you think about Trevor Ariza or Thad Young ROS??
I prefer Ariza out of the two. There’s a chance he gets traded, but he’s getting the minutes and contributes a little something something across the board.
@Son: Will Thad turn it around?? Or will Sabonis keep killing his value.
Probably not. Doesn’t mean he won’t be useful
Son! Great analysis and recap as usual.
I just pulled off a trade and needed some positive reassurance from you that I made the right move, lol. I gave up Drummond, Adams, L-Williams for Embiid, Sabonis, Porter – do you think I got the better side of this trade for remainder of season?
Rest of team is Bledsoe, Murray, White, T-Johnson, Ross, Prince, Siakam, Nance, Jokic. I’m in a 14 team H2H 11-cat league (PF and DD are extra cats).
Also, I think it’s time I gave up on White and was eyeing one of Mikal Bridges, Bullock, Caldwell-Pope for waiver wire pickup this week – would you go for any of these 3 amigos in lieu of D-White?
Muchas gracias!
@Guillermo: De nada Guillermo. Thanks for the kind words. I slightly prefer the Drummond side but I don’t hate the trade.
Bridges
Should I drop Nance for Oubre now that Oubre is starting?
Sure. Try it out
Choose one for rest of season:
Bogdan, Bojan, Jon Isaac, E’twuan Moore
As usual delightful recap!
@Dwigt: @Dwigt: Thanks Dwigt!
Bogdan
