True, depends on time frame. With Embiid being 28, he probably has about 7 years left. Maybe 5 at this level or close to it. I doubt Mobley's production ever gets close except maybe in boards and blocks, but Embiid's free throws and free throw % seems like he's got to have you #1 in that category. Then of course points, ast, reb, blk...turnovers he would hurt but we don't have that.

I think Mobley would look a lot better had the Cavs not traded for Mitchell. Mobley is going to end up being like Ayton, taking a back seat. Even more unfortunate since the Cavs also have Jarrett Allen taking away stats from Mobley too.
What is funny is that I absolute hate watching Embiid because he gets to the FT line so much, but now that he is on my fantasy team, I like him a lot more. I don't think I realize Embiid is 28. I thought he was 31 for some reason.

Yeah, I think sometimes guys rebuild thinking their team is old, when it's not, especially considering not knowing how long you will play dynasty. I've had the same guys forever, so it would be easy to think of my team as old, but Jokic is 27, Dejounte Murray 26, Smart 28. My only old keeper player is Middleton...though maybe I kept Lopez.

Of course I did pick up some good young guys like Bane, at the end of the 4th round after someone didn't protect him. That was like the 63rd pick (and like 115 are protected). Pretty crazy he lasted that long.

Surprised I finished 6th given my injuries and games played.

I think Booker might be my only keeper since the start of dynasty now. Zach Lavine was the other but I just traded him mid-season. While he is the same age as Embiid, his game has heavily always relied on his athleticism so I wanted to trade him after such a horrible start to the season. Basically I thought he would be averaging like 16/4/3 in two or three seasons. His first 30 games of the season he was averaging 22 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds with 1 steal and shooting 45% from the field. Which is a decent dropoff from 2 seasons ago of averaging 27.4 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and shooting closer to 51% from the field. But then surprisingly his next 47 games of the season he averaged 26.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and his FG% went back up to close to 51%. So while I definitely lost the better player I think getting D'Lo and Jordan Poole was fair enough, especially since D'Lo was putting up all-star numbers before being traded to the Lakers. Poole I imagine will have better overall numbers in a few seasons too, especially if he can start where he averaged 24.6 points, 4.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds.

Your team is always solid, I'm surprised you didn't place higher actually, but I imagine if your team is healthier next season you could be fighting for a top spot (depends on draft too obviously).

I think my only original draftee is Middleton, which, oddly enough, slipped quite a bit in the draft because he was out long term injured....and of course was the same much of this season. At the time I think I had the 9th pick in the original draft and everyone was shocked Westbrook fell to 9th..amazing how things change. Luckily I was able to trade him and Gobert for Jokic and Smart a few seasons ago. Actually I may have originally drafted Dejounte Murray too. It would have been a later pick back then.

Mikal Bridges + Nic Claxton breaking out like they did is awesome for my team. Walker Kessler being a dude is awesome for my team. Tyrese Haliburton is gonna be a stud for the next decade.

I do have some upcoming decisions with Lillard/Gobert getting older. My team has been competitive in this league with multiple top 4 finishes but I’ve yet to win it.

I've got the all injured team locked for the season

Definitely interested in Dame although I've probably hit a good balance of vets/young players to be competitive right now. Tyrese was a massive get as well as potentially Walker Kessler. I had Jalen Williams as the ROTY but it would not surprise me to see Kessler finish with a higher value next year or for the next few years even if Williams has two-way wing potential.

Those blocks were ABSURD and combined with Gobert/Allen which were more than enough to defeat JJJ in the block cat which cut me out from contending for 1st.

Yeah no worries if all your best players are injured the entire year there isnt much you can do about it and we won't penalize those teams.

Yeah Tyrese was a great get and especially Walker Kessler (not nearly as good, but way more under the radar). I also mentioned to you earlier in the season I couldn't believe Williams' blocks which I am not sure you had realized before. If you have JJJ, Allen and Gobert just the guys you named makes the team sound elite. Seems like a handful of teams have by far the best teams and then a big dropoff after that.

Bridges,for Golanator....hadn't even thought about him as fantasy. His efficiency has always been absurd but with more limited impact on fantasy due to lower volume, but on higher volume and maintaining solid efficiency is great. Seems like his next goal is to start creating more for others too which he did at the end of the season.

And there is big news for the league: We will (edit: possibly) be moving to a separate rookie draft in the year 2024 offseason! Nothing will be affected this offseason, but the picks you get for next years (2024) draft may be for a two round rookie draft. The kinks are still being worked on, so withhold trading 2024 picks this year until we've got everything down, which will be finished around draft time in October this year. Repeat: Do not trade 2024 draft picks until the draft. So this will be the last year of a combined FA draft.

#3 pick is up for grabs to whomever wants it. LMK....

Yeah I had a sigh of relief it wasn't the Giannis team lol.

Also to walk back my previous statement on having a separate rookie draft: Im going to say its possible for next (2024) off season but its still under works to put together a viable alternative. As this year's draft will be in october, you really shouldn't be trading 2024 picks this early, so the picks for next year (2024) are still under a moratorium until we can confirm if next off season will have a rookie draft and how many rounds (1 or 2, probably 2) it will be.

The reason we are exploring rookie draft as an alternative is (while the current system is extremely convenient, and that's tough to beat) that I feel like owners are pretty scared of moving their 1st rounders because you don't get to keep 8 if you do. And that stifles negotiations that otherwise might be easy.

Wouldn't worry about next off season right now though - that's for me to think about right now. Right now for all of us is about rookie and FA research for this years draft.

Yes, nothing has changed this offseason. You dont need to submit keepers. Draft aint till october. The reason we had the lottery was so people could do more research at the time when all the draft information is coming out in the media.

Well I won't ask you for Joker, but I do feel like it's a 3 player draft and there's a considerable drop off after that....

You can call me Gregg from now on.

I am also intrested for that pick.

With yahoo's decline in recent years, would you consider moving to fantrax in 2026 offseason?
