Cheers Miyagi. I'm pretty sure we'll make the numbers but if we don't, I'll shoot you a PM.

Sure thing. Posted in that thread and sent a message to StaticRoar with my Yahoo email, but if you guys don't need me it's all good.

Head-to-headers, is the line-up goal just to have the most active players in your lineup on any given day, or are there some sort of limitations on the number of games any given position can play?

It usually is play the most guys possible, but it was mentioned before that there should be a limit, so depending on the league you are in, you probably need to click on settings and scoring on espn...on the yahoo league you are in, I have no idea, but generally, I would put in as many players as you can on every day. I think alvin mentioned he was dropping guys every week and adding guys who played more and felt that helped, and some may do that to some extent, but then you obviously have to have players you are willing to lose on waivers.

Hey guys, got a question.
In my 11-cat league, someone sent me a trade offer of Rudy Gobert for Eric Bledsoe. He took Gobert at the 15th pick or so, and I took Bledsoe at like 29th or 30th pick. Anyway, I need the blocks and boards, but I'm hesitant to give up Bledsoe. Gobert also hasn't played very well over the pre-season.
I am pretty stacked at guard with Westbrook/Ellis/Kobe/IT/Wesley Mathews and even Paul George. I really liked my Westbrook/Bledsoe combo as both guys provide everything. I'm torn guys, I need your help.

Counter offer with whoever you'd rather give up. See if something like Ellis/IT for Gobert/Scrubadubdub would satisfy them.
EDIT: I should also mention, I don't really know too much about Fantasy Basketball, but that's what I do in Fantasy Football when I get a trade offer for a player I don't want to trade, but want the player being offered.

I'd do that deal - if only because you've got PTS/AST/STL covered with Russ/PG13/Monta/IT and a guy like Gobert is a rarity.

His strengths mesh perfect with Russ cos his FG% is elite/Russ' isn't, and his FT% suck/Russ' are elite.

Or yeah, you could counter with the ole 2 for 1, something like Monta + Kobe for Gobert, see if he bites...Even though that'd be a terrible deal for him!

STACKED.

I don't like Holiday with that minutes cap but you've got the luxury of stashing him until they lift it...

So there must still be some good guys in FA?

Wait you had 3rd pick and landed Davis!?!

I dropped Elfrid today and brought in Holiday. I felt happy just riding with Holiday on the bench for most of the season.

Indeed I did. Lucky bastard that I am.

Who else do you have for bigs? That's a key factor. I'd have to see the whole team (though perhaps you posted earlier in the thread).

Edit: I just looked at the roster you posted on the previous page. With that roster, I would probably do the trade if there isn't anything wrong with Gobert health wise. However, I would probably try to make it a two for two and possibly get some assists back and maybe give up one of your bigs...if he has a mid round starting pg, add him and give up Jonas V or something.

Thanks for all the feedback fellas. I been stewing on this all night.
The guy who sent the deal is a tough bargainer, so I know for sure he won't take any two for one deals.
As far as his roster makeup, this is who he has.
CP3/Korver/George Hill/Gallinari/Millsap/Favors/Gobert/Whiteside/Rubio/Ilyasova/Dieng/Rondo

I definitely don't want Hill as I already got Paul George and Monte Ellis.

Also, I have another trade lined up of Kobe for Dwight Howard. So I could just keep Bledsoe and do an injured player for injured player, which is almost what I'm leaning toward. Especially since Kobe hasn't played over 50 games the last two seasons combined. I actually really like this deal a lot better because I have IT/Wesley Mathews as my bench players. I could plug them where Kobe goes and decide on Terrence Jones/ Dwight Howard for my utility spot.

Could you link us with your league? I am interested in seeing how the other teams look.

Hey BW, can you further explain this? I'm doing fantasy for the first time this year as well.

I know how it works in football because its just every Sunday and you take out guys who are on bye weeks or injured.

For basketball, not every team plays the same number of games every week right? So that means some players will have played more than other players? So for example, if I have LeBron James and the Cavs only have 2 games this week as opposed to having Chandler Parsons who has 5 games this week, do I start Parsons over LeBron then? Since Parsons is playing 5 games, he will obviously have more statistical numbers for the week than LeBron right? In an ESPN league I'm in, there's only 10 players possible while the rest is bench.

For the sake of this scenario, lets assume that my other 9 slots are filled with players better than Parsons and even LeBron.

Thanks.

Rosters are set for every day, rather than every week. You can set your daily rosters as many days in advance as you like but if you make a roster move (trade/add/drop etc) your roster resets.

Some days you may have more than 10 playing and you generally just pick your best 10 (or whatever number of playing spots there are in your league).

So tomorrow (today?) Marreese Speights is playing, but Len isn't, so I should but Speights in my lineup and move Len to my bench, yes?

Yeah I can't really take any thing less than a 12 teamer seriously. Team's are just too stacked.

I haven't seen AD fall to 2 in any mock or live draft this season let alone 3. Crazy.
