No, sorry, if you draft a buncha injury prone players you risk your entire season :O

I usually don't, but haven't played in a league with NO injury slots. Most of them have 4, 2 IL and 2 IL+, since freak injuries could kill a guy if he's out for awhile and you don't want to drop him. You're still likely replacing him with a bad player. But it's not hurting me too much..I'm sure it is others.

I hear ya. We typically follow the standard Y! deal. I think they had IL slot a few years ago right? Not sure why they took it away. If everyone in the league wants one then we can intro it for next season. It wouldn't be fair now since most didn't expect one when drafting. I know it would change up some draft strategies when you know you've got an extra slot going in.

Can we talk fantasy basketball here?
Kinda struggling on whether to hold on to kemba and Fournier .

Recently lost out on Jordan Poole it’s kind of a kick in the butt. Right now leaning toward having Fournier expendable 1st because point guard play is valuable .

Current waiver wire replacements are :
Carmelo
Josh Giddy
Desmond Bane

My 10 team espn fantasy league :

* 8-0 in my current matchup
* 7-1-1 record (week 1 loss)
* #1 seed in my league

Had to let go kemba and Fournier for obvious reasons.

17 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts, 91% ft, 42% 3PT @ 3 per game, 47% FG

i didn't realize you were doing ESPN. in Yahoo he holds 3 different positions.

while stats are important, when you **** up the draft, getting a guy off the waiver that plays 3 different positions can be huge. it just so happens that he has been over performing of what was expected going into this season.

i have him in a few of my leagues. but he's been a great surprise.

Agreed. Lebron is my only 3 position player and I play him at pointguard.
He wasn’t drafted as my pointguard but it’s worked out that way and I’ve rebuilt my roster around that.

Bane is strong defensively as well. Right now he is on my 2nd team as a SF and competes for minutes in the regular rotation.

Haha I format my team with 48 minute rotations and designate a 1st team /2nd team/ bench.
Right now my biggest roster problem is managing IR where it’s a guy I want to keep on my regular roster but eventually I will have to trim once everyone is healthy .

come join our RealGM Varsity League, where there are no IR spots so you have to decide if you're going to drop someone for good :lol:
