Thinking about change suggestion for next season that might be worthwhile or not. Yahoo lets you turn on/off counting categories mid-season. The idea I'm thinking is to turn off turnovers for the beginning of the season. Then turn them on for the playoffs. Why?

Youngish teams aren't going to see a lot of minutes and they often win the turnover category just because of lack of playing time. By eliminating it, it may help filter the disparity and create separation of the bottom few teams for draft ranking. Then it adds a wrinkle to the playoff picture where playoff bound managers need to be thinking carefully about that the new TO category.

Thoughts?

But the gap has probably closed considerably if we're talking teams at full strength.


I think you will crush me this week. I can't even change my lineup due to injuries.

I don't know if this is accurate. I probably have one of the youngest teams and I am close to top 4 in TOs.

Not a fan of this sorry mate. Just don't think it makes sense to play one way for 90% of the season, then when you've tweaked your team and gotten it sorted for the playoffs, you have to change your team build, when it actually matters

Trae out a month hurts me big time.

I thought he wouldnt get THAT much opportunity off the bench (and I'm punting 3s this year). There such a fine line between being good/mediocre for fantasy when you come off the bench because a small fluctuation in minutes or usage can crater value. Losing Suggs/Grimes/Simons in one offseason is honestly pretty crazy.

But Dallas (and NY/DET) really missed a freebie in giving him away when it was honestly kind of obvious he was good. Cats out of the bag now though.

Yeah Im not a fan. Want to keep things as basic/consistent as possible so people can use their favorite fantasy info source and have it translate as close to 1:1 as possible. Also over the course of the season there should be at least some decent level of accuracy in which teams are the worst + with the new lotto odds there's not such a huge advantage anyway.

Walker Kessler out for the season. Lovely. He joins Dame Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton on my list of dudes who won’t play again this season. I also have Herro, Brooks, Nembhard currently injured and have all missed most of the season.

Someone make a trade with me dear god

Unloading LeBron James, who is rumored to return in about a week or so.

At least a first round pick and a young(ish) player, will accept the best bid so just send your proposals. LOL

I'd have to change my name, but you can have some Queen Dick for the King. That's the offer.
