Had to drop Lavine last Sunday and now looking to drop Conley depending on his status today ... I never drafted Conley again once he got some injuries way back then, and everytime he tries that right hand shot it pisses me off it drags down his fg when he misses. Conley always gets left as the last pg to draft in the 40s. I looked away since then. Do the same. Guy is not getting any younger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quality of games is maybe 20%. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colepenhagen 3,516 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 just imagine rolling out joker, jamal, beal, sato, buddy, bagley, fox, and parker that wouldn't even cost that much draft capital Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbell317 464 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Don't draft Kawhi or Oladipo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justaguy 269 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Stars with an injury history WILL rest when you need them down the stretch (Kawhi, Embiid, Kyrie etc). Better to draft stars who may not post as gaudy numbers throughout the season, but will play for you down the stretch without concerns of reaggravating an old injury. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeteM 24 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Injuries man, injuries. Jjj, ingram, nurk, d rose (duh), dinwiddie for a while, lavine, levert, van vleet, now j rich....forgot a few others, but finished in 1st regular season in spite of the injuries only to be left scramblin this week during the semis and REALLY struggling. Lesson - basketball players get hurt alot and at the worst possible times for fantasy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hipriest69 840 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I guess the only player we can trust to not have rest days or miss unnecessary time is KAT. I mean didn't he almost blow out his knee and only missed like 1 or 2 games? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mbbdogg 4 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Definitely learned to not draft/ trade for any of the players that are load management prone. Completely useless in my playoffs I.E. Kyrie, Kawhi (dont even trust lebron after this season) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cochise316 64 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The 4 playoff teams in my main league are loaded with UFA's, RFA's and player option guys. Something to consider when drafting next year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something to consider when drafting next year I've found that those guys are the ones most likely to be shut down. The one's who might not be returning to their respective teams and thus the organization has no reason to play them. At the same time, there's some motivate to earn a big contract and ball out. It's honestly tough to gauge these guys but i'm adamant on staying away from players on bad teams next year. One lesson that was reinforced to me this week was the efficiency cats. If you can win 2/3 (Fg,Ft,TO,) you'll be hard to beat on any given week. Love, AD, Conley, and Jrich missed games for me this week and I was able to win by grabbing FT & TO. My opponent had a punt assist, low turnover team and I was still able to win that cat. Also, be ready to cut anyone this late in the game. I dropped Conley on Wednesday, Jrich and AD on Thursday.

Other players I'm assuming - Thad Young, Sabonis, Mitch, Adams...but I'm wondering where you "win" assists here? If you have Simmons that's a start, then I suppose you try and get Draymond, which would be round 3. Other than that are you scraping up assists later? I think this is the last year you can get Rondo or someone that cheap that fills assists... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I don't think you can "guarantee" a win in steals and assists, which some weeks puts you at 4-5....which is why I don't buy into hard punting 3 cats.

It's more about finding a balance/right medium between assists and controlling turns. I wouldn't want multiple Lebron/simmons types because they cost too much and turns will most likely be a lost cause. @hipriest69 Didn't have Simmons, drumm or dray but I was willing to trade for them. You need to get stls/stocks from your bigs. Guys like Adams, jokic, Nance, mitch, favors, Gasol, (pre trade) rostered. At the same time weeks where assists might be low is where you you can take advantage of winning turns. For guards guys who get assists but have low turns are guys to target. White (out of position blocks as well), tyus, smart - he avged 4~ with 1.5 turns/1.5stls and has been consistent, Sato, rondo, butler (low turns, solid assists and stls), collison (he got lucky with dipo injury but he couod be had for cheap earlier in the season), Shai, Bev, Morris, etc. Lots of these guys were available the wire in 12 teams at some point esp early.
