Anyone looking to trade for a top 5 players. PM your best offer..if you picked in the top 4 no need to apply, looking for a top 14 pick to be included.

dsg2021 · Post #284 » by **dsg2021** » Sat Sep 28, 2019 12:34 am

I'm shopping my back-to-back 28th and 29th picks in Round 2 and Round 3
For
Anyone else's Round 2 and Round 3 picks

Only condition: CP3 is available at your Round 2 pick because he is my target. Yeah yeah, I don't care that he's old, declining, might rest/sit-out, etc., leave me alone with my fan favorite players haha

The sell: It's always huge to have back-to-back picks strategically, you get your top two targets on the board, and that's two potential names that might look like say #28th Donovan Mitchell and #29th Jayson Tatum versus staying put with say, somewhere around ~#21st Chris Paul and ~#36th Al Horford.

I will give anyone interested until 10:30ish to make offers. Dont want to hold things up for to long.

Actually, after researching it for more than just 1 minute, I probably would have made the same exact pick as you if I was at #5 also; Nikola Jokić! Very nice one.

I wish he hit the 3 at a higher clip and got more blocks but he is solid and at his age i hope he improves some things.But happy to take him.

As it always is my friend

From this thread in the very beginning:
The draft will be held on the forums in classic tradition (as has been for at least 8-15 years in a row). The draft order will be snake style and allow for trading. The order is determined by the final standings after last season's Playoffs.
If you PM a Commish or a volunteer your mobile number, then they can help you know exactly when you are OTC. I will also try my best to make picks for you based on your go-aheads from texts & emails. Highly recommend sharing contact info and chatting each other up. It makes it faster and more fun. Great means of talking trades and rumors too!
Remember that your Yahoo! Fantasy League roster positions, league rules, season schedule, and league settings can be found in the Yahoo! League Settings page, or with the help of a Commish.

.. 2019-2020 League Rules (Including Scoring Format & Roster Positions):
https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/42976/settings*
(Must login to Yahoo! email account to view League Rules)
(If trouble viewing the League Rules, contact Commish SHAQ32 for them)

And then of course, the Draft Guidelines in the Draft Thread - and any Commish SHAQ32's announcements/rules - for further guidance/advice. Cheers.

Edit: By the way, historically, the draft is kinda over at round 12/13, because most of the drafted players after that hit the waiver wire/free agency at some point or another. So we're already 11 rounds left, in a sense.

I PM'ed and sent an email to his yahoo! league email. I have his picks, but he instructed me to make picks for him on a Sunday, not a Monday. And that he'll be back Monday. So my best move is to wait for him instead; unless like 20 hours have passed and he has like 1-2 hours left in his draft clock (then I'm making sure he doesn't get skipped).

I've been thinking about this trade the last hour already. All I know for sure is that you and me are officially secondary-fans of the Houston Rockets this year :rofl:

We have 20 plus hours to make our pick?!?!?!

Yeah I watched a lot of Rockets games past few seasons.Thats why Im not too worried about Westbrook stats potential dip ...In their system they will find plenty of touches for him.

It propably makes more sense for You to trade with someone in the middle but offer stands till I make my pick or you can counter.
If 45 vs 40th is the deal breaker I can rethink this.

I watched like 10 HOU games, and felt the same exact way.

Trade offer sent in PM.

Since you guys haven't responded- how many playoff teams should we have, 6 or 8?
