Injuries continue (knock on wood) ... CP3 goes down...

...and Dang, WCS and Wes Matthews had good games to start the season. Melo did alright too, but I need more from Malik Monk and Ish Smith.

Yeah, practically all of my players are off to good starts. Hopefully it keeps things competitive until CP3 is healthy and Jimmy Butler kicks it up a little more. I still wish I had Carmelo too, I'm really high on him being in a competitive situation again!

The other player I'm wishing I had was Mr. Six 3PM and 41 Points Nikola Vucevic!! If he starts dropping 1-2 3PM a game on top of everything else he can already do..

Tell me about it, my IL is full already when I had drafted healthy players (with no real injury history)

I had the eye for those guys. Knew they were in positions to be the new #1 of their teams and that they’d be padding stats across the board.

Schroder and Hood were on my list, too, but they got snapped up just before me.

Furinkazan · Post #312 » by **Furinkazan** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 3:03 pm

meanwhile injury bug struck my team too
and freaking Kyle looks like pooper player Lowry play like one

Fultz either is palying hurt which is idiotic or is one of the biggest busts in the NBA history.
Schroder played amazing last week but ofc it didnt count back then and ofc duuuh he had to get injured for this week as we start.
Leonard was supposed to miss lil time now it seems like he may play around next year...which also busts my pick.
Coin toss Ross makes me pull my hair out good thing I got a Lion mane out there XD and Ariza cant buy a bucket.From positives I get about 4thround production from 14th round pick Carroll basicly giving me this year what I was hoping for last year when I took him very high

This is remarkably similar to the plot line of all of my fantasy seasons, gg lol

Nikola Vucevic is still holding insane fantasy rank value at 5 games in. He's at #8 Current Rank Value in the whole league.
:jawdrop:

Meanwhile, Evan Fournier has basically joined him at the #10 Current Rank Value in the whole league.
:jawdrop:

Then there's one more Magic player that we can't forget. Aaron Gordon now holds the #13 Current Rank Value as well.
:jawdrop:

I'm basically posting more as a very happy Magic fan than for fantasy purposes, but still.. :nod:

Anyone interested in talking trade yet? I'm ready, even if it's a small one. That's fun too

dsg2021 · Post #316 » by **dsg2021** » Sun Nov 5, 2017 2:18 pm

I'll post my trade targets in random order. Not sure I'm willing to make a deal, but I do enjoy exploring trade ideas.

I'm in need of a good 3rd big man, or instead, any positional player who has great FG% and FT%. I am willing to put a lot of pieces into play. Most of my roster is punching above expected value. I'm mainly hurting because CP3 is out and I'm not winning at least one of the two % categories. If people want to make a trade with me, show me a trade that will improve my % efficiencies. I'm pretty sure I have assists, steals and quality wings to spare (winning these cats without CP3).

My pieces to spare:
Jimmy Butler (maybe in a Jokic or Fournier deal)
Khris Middleton
Malcolm Brogdon
Jabari Parker
Wesley Matthews
Danny Green
Frank Ntilikina

anyone interested in Rubio? I'm looking for a player with PF eligibility.

God damn it... I finally get Batum back and have a squad at full strength, and then Griffin goes down for the rest of the season.

I knew I was taking a risk with the all-injury squad. That risk has already blown up in my face.

Fingers crossed Embiid + Porzingis + Oladipo + Batum can keep the ship afloat.

I had Griffin and he helped me off and on all season, then in the playoffs he was hurt like the bum he is. Told myself never to believe in him again.

Good on you for getting Dipo though. I let out a "damn you" when I saw your pick. :banghead:

Post #320 » by **Bensational** » Thu Dec 7, 2017 10:51 pm

Snoopy, I hate you, but landing Okafor off the wire was a great mid season move. He's gonna blow up in Brooklyn, especially whilst Russell is out.
