Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

I was just looking at box scores thinking "no one has that guy do they? Maybe I should pick him up."

Weeka, any chance I can sweeten the blockbuster deal in Dynasty I offered to make it go through?

Thought it was a great fit for both of us

I know it's early, but I think I'm a seller this season. Not that I have anyone terribly enticing. KD is nearly untouchable, but I'm happy to start fielding offers, though I would like to see a few more games before I pull any triggers. I'm looking for some Big Man talent.

Forgot to set my lineup yesterday for Dynasty and had Lavine put up 30+ on good shooting. Ingles also was on my bench, but he didn't play as well.

Sucks when that happens....when I saw Lavine's #s, I quickly checked my premier lineup to make sure he was in the lineup.

Just use the app, can set your lineup for the entire week that way.

I remember last season (or one before maybe) I had Russ on my bench when he dropped that 49pt triple double :banghead:

Man second year in a row my premier league team just sucks to start the year and I'm shifted to just try and not get sent to the gleague mode lol.

I really like my dynasty team though.

I started off slow last year too in Premier League and had the same attitude. Then my guys picked it up and I ended up top 3 or 4 I think. Looks like Rubio is really killing you.

Yeah Rubio has been terrible. I might not have drafted enough scoring overall. But as long as I max out my games I should climb on the less active teams.

My dynasty team has been bloody awful.

Still early going but might be time to 'tank'...Too top heavy for a league this deep.

Boogie on the block, after some youth.

Looks like that Anderson for Poeltl trade didn't work out for either of us :lol:

Dynasty...

- Jokic and Lillard are carrying my team as expected
- Cauley-Stein, Ibaka, Harris, Dragic, Hield and Teague have all been top 75 players so far
- Harrison Barnes is working back from injury and will be playable soon

G-League...

- Kemba Walker has been amazing so far, averaging 32/4/6 on 47% FG with 4.6 3's per game
- Joel Embiid has also been amazing so far, averaging 26/12/4 with 2.3 blocks on 47% FG
- CJ McCollum has been disappointing but he will turn it around hopefully, Otto Porter too
- Nic Batum, Montrezl Harrell, Brook Lopez and Malcolm Brogdon have been top 75 players

I nearly took CJ in the 3rd round but took Jamal Murray instead... seems they've both gotten off to a slow start.

I may look at some point to consolidate in dynasty, and give two good or solid guys I'd keep for one better player, especially for those tanking.

I do think that tanking should be discouraged to some extent though, like don't intentionally play terrible players...like players ranked below a certain point for the season, or the last 30, 14 or 7 days. Hard to monitor but hopefully people play the best players they can, and guys ranked fairly high at least recently, or for the season.

In premier, at some point I may trade one of my bigs (a PF/C) for a versatile 3 pt bomber...but probably not for a month or so at least.

In dynasty I'm in 2nd place despite being dead last in steals.

In G-League I'm 2nd to last in steals and rebounds...currently sitting in 7th

Gonna have to figure out my steals problem.

Yeah, in dynasty I wasn't worried about steals because I had Dejounte Murray as a keeper. So him going down hurt badly. He got a ton of steals. Will Barton, another keeper, going down didn't help in that regard. Got Okogie though who should help there.

I have no idea what to do. Almost picked up Justise Winslow and then I remembered he's a total scrub :lol:

Anybody up for a trade?
