Like Yahoo shows his team as Houston, but he was sent to the Pacers for Oladipo. I look on Google to see if something hit a snag or if Yahoo is just slow at changing it and Wikipedia/NBA.com/every top site on Google shows his team as the Rockets. Granted tomorrows Pacer game against us has been postponed, but still im going to be upset if he misses games due to the trade not going through right away.

Yeah, I have LeVert in dynasty and another fantasy league. I can't catch breaks with injuries either, especially in Premier.

That LeVert injury is killer to you BW if he misses two weeks or so. He was balling really hard and landed in a nice spot, too. Gives my team a chance to reassert itself in 1st though after Kyrie and JB missed time.

I don't think my team is overall good enough to hang on all season. Premier is where injuries have killed me the most, especially with bigs, with Bam missing a couple week, Fournier out while Ross plays like crap, and now Nurkic for at least 8 weeks.

Kind of surprised I'm in 1st, given I've played much fewer games than most, particularly the teams in 2nd and 3rd.

Galinari is going on his 3rd week with an ankle sprain. Wall and Gordon missed a bunch due to COVID-Protocol, now he is remaining out with knee soreness. Horford is missing games for "Personal Reasons". I think i have had around 5 other players missing 2 or so games with it being due to "Personal". No one is sure whats up with LeVert, but its sounding like he very well may be done for the entire season. Ball has been sitting with knee tendonitis already.

I swear, both IRL and in Fantasy, the top teams very well could get there just due to their players remaining healthy.

Oh yeah this year is absolutely a war of attrition. Both because of injuries and from the looks of the way covid is going I highly doubt every team actually plays 72 games. At some point certain teams are going to have too many postponed to realistically make back up later.

Was thinking the same thing, seeding will probably end up by win% and not wins as a number, kinda like the bubble. So a loss here and there could be more detrimental than we thought.

My original plan was to play Mitchell Robinson as my only center this year with Plumlee getting some burn, but Plumlee and BOUCHER (omg) are can't bench players. Even Kyle Anderson (12/7/4 lol) whom I traded Bertans to make room for cannot start if my team is fully healthy.

Basically I was going to bank on Robinson's 70% FG% and blocks to be good enough that the rest of my team could be easily available guard and wing targets (hench why my core is already 3 PGs and Robinson), so I didn't have to reach on bigs (or any player, really) in the draft (see:DiVincenzo, Dort as drafted players). I knew I'd be up there in points and assists, and that Robinson would anchor blocks, so I could just focus on getting decent players without worrying about the scarcest categories (points, assists, blocks) so filling in the holes would be easy and I wouldn't have to reach for need.

Bummer for my dynasty team (and the blazers). CJ was off to a crazy good start and was a top 10 guy in fantasy.

Ok my team sucks in Dynasty. Butler and Dinwiddie being out for long periods has wrecked my guards.

Going to offload some useful guys for young prospects and/or picks and rebuild.

Rozier
Derozan
Graham
Bertans

Not looking to deal Sabonis or Tobias unless a really good offer comes through.

Fire away!

Hello my fellow fierce competitors. This season has been just....yeah.

I want to congratulate all of you for staying on top of your teams. Almost all managers are pretty close in terms of games played, with an average of 135 so far. The farthest from it is only 16 games back, slightly over 10% below the mean, so still within grasp of closing that gap.

Here is your first installment of the per-game rankings, with one month of the season now completed.

Image

Most importantly, it´s great to see new faces occupying the top 3 spots.
The most impressive jump is being made by bigfoot, whose trades finally launched him toward the upper half of the table.
Desertfox has been choosing his games carefully, being slightly behind the average of games played, but with the highest difference in yahoo ranking over per game ranking.

Well played, well played....I´m still gonna take this one home, though. Just you wait.

How do some teams have 17 pts in cats? I am happy with my jump too...I think bottom 3 to top 2 and feel good about leading in FG% reb, astand steals..it's a rare combo of cats to lead.

Glad to have 15 points in most cats too instead of 16, although I somewhat did want to win points as a point (pun intended) of pride but it can't be helped with how CJ McCollum and Embiid have played on Weekapaug's team. Hopefully my team keeps rolling...standings are a little too close after Kyrie's absence.

My point guard strat is paying off. Points, assists, steals, 3s and FT% are all usually correlated stats for point guards which is already 5 of 8 cats covered. If a 4th good point guard was available I would absolutely take it. Oh that reminds me:

Deni, DiVincenzo and my 2nd are available for a point guard or wing (who preferably shoots 3s). I'd like to package them all.

I'd say you're the favorite to win. My growing up in Wisconsin homerism leading to my Giannis trade and breaking my general rule of not sucking in the % cats will probably be my downfall. It's better to suck in a counting category or two since you can typically make up ground late when managers stop setting their lineups.

Tastic.... you've sent me some bad trades before, but this last one is just you taking a piss (also just really makes it seem like you're not looking at what my team would even need)

I'm not trying to take the piss, but you never lead with your best offer.

I've sent so many offers out I sometimes forget to check the standings. Like I've mainly offered DeRozan to teams needing PTS/FG%/FT% or Graham to teams strong in FG% but needing 3s and AST - not sure which team you are sorry cos your name's not obvious like some.

If yours was Fresh Princes then yeah - not my best effort sorry haha...yours wasn't flash either though to be fair

There has been a trade in Premier

To Kerrsed: Jae Crowder
To me: Ivica Zubac

Reason: I am dead last in FG% and blocks, while I lead in 3 PTM, points, rebounds, assists and steals. Hope Zubac can continue his strong play

Im telling you (Excluding his game against Brooklyn) he has been sneaky good.

As for me, this trade wasnt really necessary and i may regret it later, but due to injuries to LeVert/Gallinari and others i have fallen quite a bit behind on 3's and steals, so hopefully Crowder will regain his position as our starting PF and bring my team back to prominence.
