Dynasty

Terrence Ross was efficient and scored 26 but only 1 rebound and 1 steal

Nobody else did anything of note

I love the rise and fall of the early fantasy season.

It's pretty amazing...Curry has seemed pretty awful but he's still ranked 5th in fantasy so far.

I believe that's just the preseason ranking. If you hit the per game averages it'll go down.

I put it on last 7 days and everyone else's on my team changed (it lists preseason next to current) but Steph's was #5 for both.

However, now that some games have been (are are being) played today, some other players moved up (Harden, Trae, Ja, Jokic)...so he's moved down a little bit..

Yeah he is currently ranked 11th with his fg% really hurting at .381

Brooks 24/7/4/3 with 2 3 PTM (yes please)
Gobert 12/10/4/1/4

Premier

LeBron 29/9/6/2/1 with 3 3 PTM

I also picked up Lu Dort after his 2nd straight great game with my open roster spot.

I just gotta say that I played the Kyle Anderson situation on my roster pretty damn well. Basically a near perfect start to the season. But my FG% is probably unsustainable but will still be fairly high with Mitchell Robinson anchoring the team and Plumlee/Boucher taking turns (those guys will also start to bring down my FT% a bit). And I'll eventually fall from the lead as more talented veteran and deeper teams get warmed up, as my bench usually consists of 1 or 2 prospects instead of actual plug and play guys because well, aren't younger teams supposed to be amassing talent?

Still imo I feel confident that I have the best young team in the league. Last year I didn't expect to be a top 4-5 pace team. This year I didn't expect to be sitting in 1st after the first week with the fewest games played of the top teams. It's good progress. Still looking for that extra superstar though.

Just a thought, I think we should make all players on FA pool be waivers, so everybody can have a shot grabbing some players who seem to have breakthrough games. If you grab someone be4 he breaks out kudos to you, but we shouldn't be awarding the ones who can stay constantly online and be the faster trigger, especially with many of us playing in different timezones.

Even though I am awake when all the games are on and was thinking about Josh Jackson tonight, I hear you. I play with some friends overseas and they are pissed they basically have no way of adding anyone in this scenario. I just don't know if that's a possibility.

Though I know this might hurt some people's strategy who make tons of adds and drops throughout the season...like Tastic

Idk if you are specifically talking about the dynasty league but at some level we have to be fairly active since dynasty is and should be, imo, the most involved league in terms of strategy. We have to be active to engage in trade discussions and research players and real NBA teams to get a feel for guys we are rostering potentially for several years. I think most if not all people in the league want the dynasty league to be prestigious and difficult i.e. not casual.

So from my point of view it does feel a little cheap if people are just looking at stat lines and constantly adding and dropping players based on their stat lines after 1 game or 2 and till they find a guy who sticks. I guess in a way I agree with your sentiment from a different angle.

Maybe a max transactions (or free agent acquisitions) per week would be fine? The waiver wire idea seems alright too.

But more than anything I'm just glad the league is active and competitive and I can talk trades with other owners on a reasonable time frame.

also, on a semi related note: the whole adding INJ players from free agency straight to your INJ slot(s) still feels cheap as hell.

Was talking about both. From my point of view, making it waiver style only adds to the competition, you can't just spam adding/dropping players since you'll be constantly on the bottom of the waiver priority and you'll miss on the stronger pick ups.
Plus, all managers can have a shot at each player, I'm guessing that there's a fair amount of managers that can't be online during the gametimes, either due to work or sleep.

[Qwigglez]

Everyone should be on waiver wire for sure.

[WeekapaugGroove]

If there's a setting where guys go on waivers for 24 hours after their game starts that would be fine.

If they lock for longer that kind of sucks for streaming purposes late in the year.

Speaking of weird yahoo things anyone notice they changed the position designations for some guys? Booker went from PG/SG to SG/SF. Didn't hurt me in the premier because I have a bunch of PGs but that could mess with some teams if it broke the wrong way roster wise.

Because we needed more SG/SFs...

It's funny how stingy they are with handing out PG and C designations...

Brooks 24/7/4/3 with 2 3 PTM (yes please)

I wasn't really sure why Yahoo had Brooks ranked so low in the preseason.... Didn't look like he was even drafted in premier.

[Kerrsed]

A max transactions limit would be very interesting to add. Thats something i could really get behind.

I know...about in the INJ players. I noticed bigfoot ballers did this TWICE and could have sworn he made a post earlier that he didn't think this should be allowed so I searched for that post but couldn't find it. That feels like kind of cheating....though I will say I drafted a guy who was out (Lamb) to add him to my IL and then pick up another guy. It didn't work though so I dropped him anyway, since he was O and not IR. I did feel that was different though because he had to be a roster spot and there were multiple draft picks behind me in that last round.

I feel premier is way more competitive with the drop adds. I don't make any in dynasty....I drafted 3 rookies and just leave my starters in and those guys on the bench because I realize they might not be good for awhile. I have a few development or recovering from injury guys in my roster too like Reddish (looking better) and Otto Porter (ok so far). Surprised I was in like 3rd but obviously it is very early.

It would have to be really low, like 1 per week, imo.
