StifleTower2 2,525 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I wouldn’t make a bet like that due to variance in any particular sample size. But I’d put the over/under of his averages at 18/9 plus elite stocks and 50/80 under 2 TO for efficiency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I traded for him in one keeper league and I am not even going there bc I believe if you can obtain the #1 fantasy player in a keeper league it's worth almost any price. I agree 100% for keepers league. For redraft, I think the key is to trade for AD + other player(s), it helps mitigate the risk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best deal if you’re trading for AD would be to say look 👀 AD is a lot of risk so I need your second best player too plus a throw-in. Then offer your 2,3,4 round players preferably if they’re also risky. That way you’re exchanging risk and picking up AD in the process. There was a time when the AD owners were panicked enough that’s you could have done that but the time is gone. Also, the trade deadline is over in many of my leagues.

bballshinobi 1,459 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 AD doesn't need to fake injuries. He gets injured and goes to the locker room every 4-5 games anyways Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We all know that AD was #1 player before trade request. That is in the past. In the present, AD asked to be traded and circumstances changed. Over the last 4 games, he is not even top-40 player. Entire league went through All-Star break, so that should not affect AD production. For the record, five games is the most any player played over the last two weeks. I am curious to know if people who traded for AD after his trade request are happy with the returns so far? I traded Darren Collison for AD straight up today...I know AD is a major risk ROS but I'm fighting for the playoffs and with two clear cut juggernauts in my league, I felt like I could roll the dice without much risk personally. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's insane. Someone gave up AD for Collison even after the announcement that he'll be playing for the rest of the year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You take "pelicans will reduce his minutes rest of season" to mean "he will be playing rest of season on a reduced role". you see how those are not the same right? Their latest update means nothing in terms of how much he will play. If anything, its a more negative update than positive. It means this, they may only play him 20 mpg, they may sit him every back to back, and if he gets ANY injury (which he picks up pretty often), he will sit out extended periods. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are you talking about? That wasn't the initial report. Danny Ferry said that Anthony Davis will play the rest of the season, then said it will be on reduced minutes. https://twitter.com/FantasyLabsNBA/status/1098739703648444416 https://twitter.com/_Andrew_Lopez/status/1098739205595910144 Edited February 22, 2019 by akund 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't call it naive. There's nothing to say that it shouldn't be taken at face value. Sure, if certain reports (like Ferry trying to get the league to let them sit Davis) are true, then obviously the team wants to shut him down. That doesn't mean the NBA will ever let them, or that the team will actually ever give the league the finger and actually shut him down. Nobody on any sides have given any indication that there's an almost definite chance that will happen. Actually believing that there's a legit chance that Davis plays the rest of the season is no worse than you firmly believing he won't and will somehow get shutdown any day now. At least there's something legitimately out there to back that up, and there was no reason to call the person naive. Not saying that's an extreme insult or something, but until you have something to back it up, you're literally just speculating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claptondecheeks 1,017 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 IDGAF if AD plays 3 minutes a game for the rest of the season, I rather have him on my bench than Darren ******** Collison lol, are you kidding me? Now imagine if AD puts up like 60% of his previous value? I'd probably quit fantasy sports for good. Read between the lines. Both sides know they handled things poorly. They're both gonna try to keep the peace so they can build up some fan goodwill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd wadger that the vast majority of fans are casual fans and they don't care about draft positioning nor do they hold grudges for certain players. I think most fans just feel like AD is a big baby and that NO management is dumb. There may be boos at first, but they'll all be on their feet clapping when AD takes a game over.
