Wagner heard he was coming to Cleveland and put up a historic 4th quarter last night :o

Really excited to have Wagner as he fits the mold of that 2 way wing that I've been searching for that can play next to Tatum and allows me to go full small ball. Acquiring Isaiah Joe to make up for the depth I lost should help a lot too. Def sucks losing those young guys (especially Collier who looks like he's Utah's starting PG longterm) but I had to pay the price for a stud wing. Still going to root for them guys.

Can't wait to see this lineup in action

Giddey
Simons
Wagner
Tatum
Bam

Didn't Melo spend like half the season arguing Banchero >>>> Wagner in the Around thread? BAF transactions always reveal the truth.

That's a great get though.

Paid top dollar for a guy with sizable injury history but if he can stay healthy and start getting a regular 30+ mpg, Mark Williams will be a beast and the type of guy the sim has historically loved. Huge gamble but if it pays off, it will likely pay off big.

Just couldn't take tanking for more than a few weeks. Don't have the stomach for it and my own picks were burning a hole in my pocket. :)

Worth it! I absolutely love Mark! I drafted him here & have him in my other ongoing fantasy league… Which happens to have an awesome team currently available, featuring Cade, Morant, Butler & Jalen Johnson, if anyone here is interested in joining??

I'm impressed with what Thompson is doing.

It's incredible that he came through Overtime. NBA should be ashamed of how their G League option failed to produce anything.
