I usually am on point with my fantasy teams... not this one

Hands down one of the worst performing teams I've had, ever, and I can't figure out what it is about my team that sucks so much, and how I can improve on its mediocrity. Note that it is a keeper league, where we keep 2 players at the spot we drafted them.

12 team H2H, standard cats

PG: Westbrook, Wall, Sessions
SG: Monta, Waiters, Klay Thompson
SF: Kawhi Leonard, MKG
PF/C: Horford, Cousins, Thad Young, Larry Sanders, Drummond, Pekovic

I think my team sucks since Westbrook, Wall, Monta, Klay, and Leonard are all underperforming relative to what I expected, but right now it seems like everyone is in a sell low position other than maybe Thad Young and Larry Sanders, neither of whom is a very sexy name.

Considering dropping Sessions for Bledsoe but scared because Bledsoe gets inconsistent minutes, and my %s suck anyways.

My rule of thumb is one cancer per team allowed.

Westbrook is your one cancer. By cancer I mean cat-killer who makes it really hard to compete in a cat without the rest of your team balancing it out.

Wall, Monta and Cousins are all cancers. Obv Wall hasn't played and is a free ticket right now; dunno if you drafted him or picked him up.

When you have more than one cancer, it makes it hard to bounce back from unforeseen circumstances, like Horford **** the bed in FT% for example. Why in the world is Waiters on your team. Another cancer.

Thompson has been beastly, he's not underperforming. Westbrook and Monta aren't really underperforming. Neither is Leonard. None of those guys are; if you drafted Wall then yeah, you got ****, but I coulda told you that before the season. Yeah, you ran bad with his injury, but oh well; the process was bad and the result was even worse.

Prob with cancers is they don't trade as well as their value, in a vacuum, dictates it should.

Ur problem is you are not getting good production from your PG, Sg, and sf spots

Westbrook is a beast but has flaws
Wall hasn't played and is a poor mans version of Westbrook
Sessions value is capped and his minutes are inconsistent

Monta is solid but this isn't the GS days and he isn't well rounded enou to be ur #1 SG
Waiters is a chuck and is 1 bad attitude or shooting slump Away from being benched by his coached(he is already coming off the bench now)

Leonard- has been injured and extremely underwhelming this season. MGK has been sporadic and underperforming

Your bigs are really good

U would be its from a couple of trades and a goodwaiver pickup

Who is available?

What players do u think I can get from other GM's, has anybody offered any deals?

U need some playmaking and 3's badly

Sessions, waiters and Drummond should be traded for some low valued players or solid role players. If u can get avoid player even better

I drafted Wall - thought he'd only be out a few weeks. Klay is drilling 3s but I didn't expect his FG% to be so low. I have Waiters because he gives me 3s and okay stats except in FG%, where he's horrid.

Best players by season average who aren't out with a long injury are Patterson, Bledsoe, Dorell Wright, Alan Anderson, Ariza, Tayshaun, Stephenson, and then Aminu. Wilson Chandler is also available.

My team is so mediocre I really don't know where to start.

See if anyone is interested in Drummomd, sessions or waiters. See if you can get a solid veteran role player wih good efficient percentages or underperforming buy low candidates

Jj Reddick, illyasova, Dudley(inj), Kidd,

If u can get 1 solid Sf, Sg, and Pg I think u will be good

Seems like you have a bunch of high volume chuckers at your guard positions.

I'd hold onto Drummonds and hope DET unleashes him. Not very optimistic about that happening, though. Frank seems like a dumdum.

Package Cousins/Monta. Doubt you'll get anyone with a FG% above 46% tho. Just get the best player you can.

Stream Waiters spot. Stream every one of Aminu's games.

Did you draft Sanders? What happens if you pick someone up from WW? Who are your keepers, Drummond and Sanders? They'd be two of the better keepers in the L, no?

I picked up Sanders and Drummond from WW - my understanding is that I'd get to keep them with my final two picks.

Sweet, I would look to move Thadeus Young then and keep Drummond

Sessions ans young I would try to move first
