But anyway, DJA is probably gone by now Well I was responding to a question with no context so in a vacuum there's no way I'd drop Millsap for DJ. Of course it's all up to circumstance. Personally I'd only think of rostering DJ in 14 teamers and up. He's just not very good imo. I don't care how many minutes he gets. Even in the past with big minutes he's always been inconsistent as I've owned him plenty throughout the years. Serviceable sure, just not for me. 10 and 12 teamers I'd rather have a streaming spot than roster this guy. Again, it's all circumstantial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But anyway, DJA is probably gone by now It's unlikely DJA will hold enough consistent value that he will still be on 12 team rosters by fantasy playoff time. So no I would never think of dropping sap for him who can be a complete game changer for you in playoffs. Malone said early to mid March so it could also be first week of March or even earlier. Remember that nuggets are in fighting for the last spot.. if they go on a losing record over the next 5 games or so you can bet they will want sap back asap to try to get into the playoffs. Nuggets actually a franchise that values getting into playoffs. Just a hunch but I think he will be back before March 5th..giving him 1 week of games/practice before first playoff week in Yahoo.

I do understand the optimism. However, the fact that his return was pushed to a later date is not a good sign. That means he's coming along slower than expected. I'd exercise caution here. Yeah, hopefully he comes back sooner rather than later, but I really think there's a bigger chance it will be on the later end of the spectrum. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blob2004 223 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I wonder if this type of injury will require resting on B2B's etc, given how cautious most NBA teams are with injuries. If he has a minutes limit and resting on B2B's when he returns I'm for sure dropping now. My 2 IR spots are stuck with Kawhi and Millsap, and I have Collison...Don't really want to be handicapped.

To be honest it was always after All Star Break. He was never definitely coming back exactly at 3 months or befor ASB. We just hoped the reason i have optimism is because coaches always use weird terminology. So how can paul milsap beahead pf schedule but his timetable is pushed back? how can vucevic be “ways away from returning” to questionable in a matter of days? ill hold for an extra couple weeks.

The new timetable means he'll definitely come back after the far end of his initial timetable. It just seems like he's coming along slower than expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if im wrong please. I just dont understand how somebody can be "ahead" of schedule and "behind" the schedule at the same time. Confusing terminology. But either way lets hope its early march as thats essentially really only a week after ASB. Quote "I think after the All-Star break we will go back to the doctor once again and get an update on how the wrist is healing. Hopefully, slowly but surely we can reintegrate him back into practice — see how he does with that,” Malone explained. “Maybe by early to mid-March, we can get him back on the floor. That would be a guesstimate, if you will." Malone's so full of it lol "guesstimate" Edited February 9, 2018 by necro892003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd doubt it. Generally the guys who sit out b2bs and have minute restrictions or that type of thing are the guys coming back from ankle/knee/leg injuries. Conditioning is more of a factor there because those guys can't do much of anything for much of their recovery. Millsap having a wrist injury isn't nearly as big of a deal and he should be able to jump right back into things much quicker when he does return. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This would be perfect for most leagues as he would have a full week to shake the rust before fantasy playoffs week 1 which starts March 12th for Yahoo default. Should have no restrictions when he returns, it's just a left wrist Edited February 14, 2018 by richg24 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
