First trade of the Fantasy season

Post by CleveTown™ »

Like every year, 420 and I pull off something respectable.

I give up my crown jewel in Giannis coupled with McCollum

for

Porzingis/Batum/Fournier

Wins all around.

League F'ed.

Glad you found someone to package Giannis and CJ for

IMO 420 won the trade but hope it works out for both of you

IF (and that's a strong if) Fournier somewhat maintains this level of production (which who knows, he may be able to) and Batum comes back and does what he does I think I win...slightly. Everything has to go right for me though.

Giannis' lack of 3's and FT% hurt my team model. The guys I brought in help it. It's a fair trade.

Idk it seems like you made a trade just for the sake of making a trade and repeat made out like a bandit. But you know more about this than I do so you probably know what you are doing.

I think he maintains top 50 value, he's a poor man's G. Hayward. He has sneaky value in this trade.

Now when @AbeVigodaLive accepts this trade I'll be back on the track to winning. Do it Abe. Rondo is going to wreck Holiday's assists numbers and you know it. If you dont like Gordon, I could replace him with Dennis Smith Jr or Lou Williams.

We'll see. Too bad, you guys had a shot at Giannis but never pulled the trigger.

I didn’t really notice this until this week. Buckets was playing at least 2 more people than me each day, some days it was as many as 4-5 and I had to keep adding people to narrow the gap. But it will even out and I’m sure there will be weeks where you play more than your opponent as well.

Maybe. But I don't know what it has to do with this thread.

People have already read my critique of your league. Rehashing it over and over again probably is more annoying than anything.

But at the same time, we're seeing how that critique is even more relevant now that the league really is more about attrition than anything else because there is almost zero strategy at this point beyond exchanging one crappy bench guy for another crappy bench guy off waivers just to get more games played.

Not my fault. I warned you before the draft this would happen.

lol, what exactly is happening? If you dont like your team or players make a trade. I plucked Mitchell off the waivers and he's turning out to be a gem. Either get more active (which in these settings you have to be with no waivers, weird you say it's a set it and forget it league) on the Waivers or make a trade. Don't sit there and cry about it.

Huh?

I am fine with my players. My point is that there's nothing to do. There are literally no decisions to be made day after day... week after week. I don't think there's been a single time I had to make a choice between starting a player or sitting one. THAT is what I meant by a game of attrition. Literally, you simply plug in every guy every time he plays.

It's boring if I'm being honest. But it's how it's set up. So it's what we'll keep doing. Just something to note... no reason to be triggered by the observation that it's boring and you're solely responsible for that.
