Dynasty: Looking to package DiVincenzo and Avidja for player producing now who preferably can fit in the SG or SF slot. May also include Tastics 2nd rounder in a pick swap. PM if interested.

Was looking at your team last night and you've assembled a nasty team, hat tip to you.

About trades if Thomas Bryants knee injury mri comes back bad today I'm going to be in the market for a vet big if any of the bottom teams are looking to grab one of my young lotto ticket guys instead.

So what was the final ruling on using that 3rd IR slot? Can I use it for actual injured guys or just covid?

Welp bryant is out for the year. If anyone has a playable big I'm willing to trade you Bryant (if you'd want to stash him for the year) and Quickley and or Okoro are available. I'm not even looking for a keepable guy coming back just someone that can be in my top 9 for this year.

Playable centers ... ugggh ... so hard to find. I've been playing Covington at the beginning of the season and have been frantically looking for them too.

I'd take a PF, just need more big man type stats.

Losing Isaac for the year and Kembas bum knee made this year a challenge from the jump now Bryant might be the tipping point that knocks me out of true contention for 1st.

I was hurting for blocks coming into the season after previously being fine in that cat because I had Gobert, so after my first pick, Killian Hayes, I started looking for bigs to help with blocks. I couldn't really find any that got a lot of blocks, but still took centers with my next two picks (Holmes and Adams) and I am still last in blocks and I have 3 centers.

Damn lol I must have struck GOLD with Boucher and Plumlee. Really lucky they both made it to me as I wanted those guys specifically. My plan was to just have those guys as bench players but they've easily cracked my starting lineup. Boucher has been insane and Plumlee somehow learned how to steal the ball.

That's quite unusual to have 3 centers and be last in blocks though. It's probably the rest of the team failing to pick up the slack. Having one or two of those guys who average ~0.7 bpg by accident can really make a difference long term. The decimals matter really heavily in steals in blocks.

Holmes was a guy I was really wrong about. I should have done more research on Whiteside. I figured they were about even but it turns out Whiteside is actually not that good at NBA basketball and Richaun Holmes is a legit player...a former Sun too so it's good to see him succeed with the Kings. That's another thing too- I thought the Kings were gonna Kings with that rotation.

Yeah, Whiteside is fools gold in making a difference. Holmes is legit. The guy was like a top 30 fantasy player last year. Too bad the Suns didn't sign him to like a 4/16 contract after that one year here (not sure they could have but I think the Kings signed him for like 2/10)

Eric Bledsoe and Montrezl Harrell is available in Dynasty

Trade available: Payton Pritchard and my 4th round pick for whoever you want to give and your 3rd round pick. Don't miss out on this opportunity to snag a top young rookie.

His current Yahoo ranking is 120 which is a seventh-round value. He's keeper worthy.

I don't think you're going to get any offers with this. He might be fine this season but he's not worth playing and for dynasty overall rebuild rookie rankings he is likely not worth stashing. He's a find backup PG, but you're likely not to get much for him, if anything.

Sidenote...it really pisses me off when I set my lineups for a week and forget to check for a week and one day. I almost ALWAYS set the last day to leave my worst players on my bench.

But checked in today (first day evidently that I hadn't set it) and Caris LeVert was on the bench. Thank God Jokic wasn't.

I didn't want to say stuff about this over the past before it was too early, but Kyrie could single-handedly lose me the championship.

Wow. Just wow.

Who do you think will end up being more valuable at the end of the season Garland or Haliburton?

We have a late night trade. I've dealt Thomas Bryant to Kyler Murray for Draymond Green.

Lol yahoo. I dropped Desmond Bane like 12 hours ago predicting that Jaylen would be cleared to play (return from INJ), but it will only be reflected in my lineups for TOMORROW'S (saturday) games so I can't use Jaylen Brown tonight even though he was just cleared to play literally TWO hours ago.

You hate to see it unless you're trying to compete for 1st

You will see amazing salt if my year falls apart lol
