Urban regular season ends in february

And the playoffs last 4 weeks during march-april

@Vibe: Chris Paul vs DeRozan ???

by Vibe Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:33 pm

I've actually had that same offer rejected Laughing

However, I've added Morris, Barton, Barnes and Brooks since and they've made me competitive in 3's. DeRozan has also been very good despite no 3's, so it's a no, but I'll think about a counter offer.

by Warrior Wed Nov 20, 2019 3:06 pm

After double check the regular season ends on march 15th. Playoffs the 3 following weeks.

There's a trade deadline at some point but you can still add/drop players until the very end.

Art how TF do you have 10 players every night ffs

by El Gunner Wed Nov 20, 2019 5:23 pm

this is the last comment i'll make re: trades that took place over the last few days i promise Laughing

i was giving CB extreme stick but considering both trades i just came to the realisation he was actually the major, major winner out of all of this. He got Kemba, who is better and more reliable fantasy player than CP3, and he got his boosts in steals and blocks with Isaac. Now this of course is a matter of interpretation of whether this all just coincidentally fell into place, or if this was your masterplan all along CB. If the Kemba deal just randomly came up and fell into place, your Isaac deal still looks shitty to me. But hey, it doesn't really matter because you got Kemba. Thumbs up

With all this in mind, i now question Urban's decision more in that deal. But Urban is a fantasy rook so he'll learn out of this experience. Just ask Art how much of a frustrating fantasy player Kawhi is because of his missing of games, you'll learn to see this as the season goes on too.

Didn't you trade Irving and Warren for CJ McCollum and Porter Jr?

Plenty frustrating and it's an interesting time to trade for Kawhi, because he has missed the last three games and that's kinda worry that is he going to need even more load management this season? But Kawhi > Kemba when they're playing, so I dunno.

by El Gunner Wed Nov 20, 2019 7:13 pm

^^ of course i don't disagree with that final statement - when they're playing

by CBarca Wed Nov 20, 2019 10:11 pm

I mean, yeah once I got Isaac I knew I had to trade for a PG to make up for what I lost. And like I said previous to all of this, I was shopping Kawhi.

But I don't really think I won big personally. I feel like I moved laterally. I just made myself more insulated from injury which was my goal. Within reason, of course. Injury is random and could happen to anyone, but it's clear both Kawhi and CP3 have/have had many injury issues, so moving them on is ultimately my goal.

It was never really in my plans to draft either of them. I just felt like they were being undervalued by you guys so I took them.

Looked at Redick and dude was averaging ~22 or 23 mins a game with shit stats. Dropped him and the game after until now he's consistently in the 30's every single night Laughing

I'm not that upset because he doesn't get any steals or blocks, but a bit annoying. My fault for not sticking with him, though. But no idea why his role changed so suddenly.

by Vibe Fri Nov 22, 2019 4:59 am

Lonzo got injured

by urbaNRoots Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:46 am

Redick was one of those accidental Ws for me, he became a available soon after Hayward went down. Very happy with him so far.

His role didn't change really, we just sucked so he sat more. Also we were awful at getting him open looks at the start.

Anyway fantasy related, is anyone interested in Blake Griffin, Aaron Gordon or/and Tobias Harris ?

by Warrior Fri Nov 22, 2019 1:13 pm

I don't remember a shittier week in my fantasy career, imagine having your top 3 players out Laughing

about to get single-handedly beaten by Luka Doncic Laughing

Chris Paul better deliver some heavy numbers for his debut

by Vibe Fri Nov 22, 2019 4:10 pm

Leading the beef without 3 best players and complaining from first place.

First world problems

by Art Morte Fri Nov 22, 2019 5:40 pm

Griffin and Harris for Butler and Nance Jr @Mole?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:44 pm

No and looking at your team I'm struggling to think of a 2 man combination I'd take, most of them are either too limiting in multiple categories or have bad shooting percentages.

by Art Morte Fri Nov 22, 2019 9:10 pm

How dare you speak like that about Jabari Parker.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Nov 23, 2019 1:22 am

I'm obviously not speaking about your whole team btw, just the ones i imagine you'd be ok with Trading.

I'm ok with Butler and Harris being a framework of a deal but I'm not sure what combination in addition to that could happen to make it work.

by CBarca Sat Nov 23, 2019 5:49 am

Habs would you like to explain why you're offering me back the trade we just made...?

by Vibe Sat Nov 23, 2019 7:12 am

Cause Magic is now without Vučević and Gordon, Isaac will rek

Because i regret it

Don't know how to explain, as if it took charisma off my team, it's more fun if you own Isaac. Maybe his average stats won't be as high, but sometimes he gives monster stat lines, and it's nice to see a player's development

I remove my offer however Laughing

just thought about it, since you got Walker now i would not want CP3 to enhance your PG's numbers

by Art Morte Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:06 pm

Would you do it if it was George and Nance? I'm not sure I would, but just asking.

by CBarca Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:26 pm

Another reason players don't get traded often: the sentimental value we attach.

I'd be curious to see how many people drafted players they drafted last year. For example, I loved having BroLo last year and just had to draft him again. The rest of my team is actually new though.

I would consider trading him back but like you said, I've already substantially changed my team. I can't really revert back now

by Warrior Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:49 pm

True lol

When Towns got drafted one rank before me it was disappointing, as if it wasn't my team anymore. Including Isaac (since he played a match for me this week) i got 5 players returning from the last week of 2018-2019. Luca, Freeza, Mole have similar teams from last season as well.

Just saw the update on Irving, he is out again next week, but Lillard will be back. So i'm glad to have CP3 he will be useful.

The reason I wanted a keeper league.

I’d have taken Doncic with first in that case. If anything I’m mad at myself I didn’t pick more with my heart. Could’ve had Ingram and Doncic...

Think we should do keeper league next year if all the same people come back tbh. It would make more sense in that case. Haven’t really made sense the other years because most people fell out of it, but we’ve been more active than normal this year.
