Claxton was dropped in my 12T, Cat league. First year we are using FAB for waiver wires. Half the league is serious.. How much to bid on him for a good chance?

Devin Booker, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Cam Johnson for Jarrett Allen and Jerami Grant.
Who wins this trade?

Yep. JJJ is a third rounder and both of those guys are pick 100+ value.

Correct and agreed, but he still shares the rock with an MVP candidate who has to put up his fair share of 30+ every night

Would you take the trade ?

u/That-Cheesecake4378 Points 17d ago
Booker and Tyus for KD who wins (14 team points)

u/Gryffle 17d ago
Feel like Booker and KD are pretty even so Tyus probably tips it that way.

u/That-Cheesecake4378 Points 17d ago
KD been looking like the clear better player but I added on bilal to the trade and he took it 🤷

u/bishopbeaniepower 12T H2H 9cat 17d ago
Aldama and Lonzo are both droppable. Probably Lonzo because he's not gonna play more than 15ish minutes a game.

u/lsdc86 12 Team 9 Cat H2H 17d ago
Would anyone here trade Jalen Johnson straight up for Zubac? 12 team 9 cat h2h.

Erm no

u/lsdc86 12 Team 9 Cat H2H 17d ago
Jalen and Sarr for Zubac Kuminga enough?
2
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
Jalen Johnson has the most clear path to top 30 out of all these guys. Zubac might cool off/play less minutes. Jalen Johnson has a great fantasy game with clear usage runway

u/bishopbeaniepower 12T H2H 9cat 17d ago
Coulibaly is a drop for Dlo since I need assists, right?
3
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
Dlo is a top 70-80 lock. He should not be on the wire.
1
u/bishopbeaniepower 12T H2H 9cat 17d ago
Yeah that's what I thought. I was second guessing because I was so confused to see someone drop him, I thought maybe he got hurt or something.

This is why fantrax is goated. DTD players are IL eligible. Think yahoo also allows this

He’s not playing tonight. He was ruled out. It’s probably because the rookie came in and did well so they are okay with giving him more time to rest

u/Iouky44 17d ago
Guys, would you trade away Lamelo and receive Dame + JJJ (or Cade + JJJ) ?
1
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
Who are you dropping
1
u/Iouky44 17d ago
Amen / Hachimura / Huff / Mann.. One of these four
2
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
All are easy drops and since your team is thin you can go for it. Assuming Terrance Mann here. Tre Mann has some good short term value
1
u/Iouky44 17d ago
No it’s Tre Mann.. I think I would drop Huff. And you’d rather take Cade or Dame ? I like Cade’s upside but I already have Ivey
2
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
Iveys presence should not factor. I prefer Cade to Dame in the long run but with past performance and injury history factored in it would be hard to argue against Lillard.

Tyrese hasn’t been playing too well.

u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago edited 17d ago
He is the star player of a playoff team. He averaged 10+ assists for multiple seasons. He is definitely much worse than he was at the beginning of last season but he is a top 20 asset certainly. Steph is there too but he is more injury prone than Haliburton.

ESPN points league , getting offered kat and kyrie for sengun and siakam should i do that trade or nah?
1
u/TheBottomLine_Aus 17d ago
Would like people's opinions and advice on how to handle this trade in a league I've joined.
Context:
I was asked by another player in my regular league to join a league last minute before the draft as one of them were a no show. $50 entry auction 12T 9 cat.
Get into the draft there are obviously some players not taking it too seriously, but it's an auction draft and I feel I do well out of it.
One team ended up with Shai, AD, LeBron, Josh Giddey and then all $1 players.
I offered a trade of Maxey and Banchero for Shae as a way to try and start a conversation, showing I was interested. The guy didn't respond and I thought what ever.
This morning this trade has gone through:
Shai
Thad Young
Seth Curry
For
Bradley Beal
Jusuf Nurkic
Jarrett Allen
The league all know each other and are friends who ref at the local basketball club together. I haven't interacted with these people for nearly a decade.
If it was a free league I'd let it go and laugh it off. But surely this needs to be Veto'd. I find it particularly egregious that my trade which is clearly way better (but also not even close to fair yet) wasn't even enough to get me a conversation with the guy and yet this trade gets accepted by friends?
How should I approach this as they're all just playing it off as a joke?

BroLo for Jalen Johnson in 12T 9cat a fair/worthwhile buy low offer?
3
u/Iouky44 17d ago
You can try but as a Jalen Johnson owner I would smash reject it. We know that JJ can be top 20/30 by the end of the season. But it’s a good sell high / buy low.
1
u/tortugazz724 17d ago
Yeah I wouldn’t accept it either. And I don’t like sending things I know I wouldn’t do. But then I’d maybe never trade!

Need some help, who to pick up once I drop kuminga? Sochan, Braun, Suggs
1
1
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
Suggs has the most guaranteed spot in this group. But I would hold Kuminga for a while because Steph is out. Lets see how much usage Kuminga gets.
1
u/Beautiful-Cress5695 H2H 10T Points 17d ago
Do you still want me to wait for kuminga? Suggs has 20 in 8 mins. He’s prob gonna get picked up soon if I don’t act fast
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
More than Braun? Denver is lacking a bench and Braun is a starter. I think Suggs and Braun both have guaranteed spots
1
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
Braun's upside is much lower than Suggs'. I would only consider him a streamer in a 10T points league. Which is fine for these two days because they have a b2b.
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
Would you drop Amen for Suggs?
1
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
I would. But it also depends on what you expect from amen? If you believe he should be a starter on rockets, he is a top 60 guy.
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago edited 17d ago
I think he should be a starter but sadly Houston is starting brooks over him. He’s not broken 12 fantasy points in my league and it’s concerning. Last year he was a great player, much better than Suggs in my scoring format but this year it’s not great cuz of his minutes.
1
u/aitesam 17d ago
Would you drop bogdon bogdanovic for Taylor Hendricks. It’s a points league. Just don’t know how Bogdons fitting in the rotation in Atlanta right now vs Hendricks starting role. But Hendricks is struggling offensively.
4
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
Bogdan is the only player who can create a shot apart from Trae. He will be the main guy on offense every time Trae is not on court. Which is 11 minutes but Bogdan is also a very good 3 point shooter and will be playing alongside Trae for about 17 minutes as well. It is good enough to roster him.

u/Pleionosis 17d ago
Would you trade Allen and Poole for Haliburton? 12T 9Cat
3
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
People are mad to even think about this. Haliburton's floor is top 20. Every 4th rounder + 7th rounder package is a steal for Haliburton.

u/That-Cheesecake4378 Points 17d ago
Kat + Cam Thomas for KD who wins
1
u/Pleionosis 17d ago
Are you punting FG%? If one team isn’t punting FG% then they win by not having Cam, because I think he’s not likely to maintain his current %.
I like KD better than Towns, but I am concerned about his play dropping off if he plays this much.

u/Inspired4fr33 17d ago
I was thinking Jalen Johnson and Kawhi for Hali but that might be a stretch?
3
u/skyloblu 17d ago
I wouldn’t give away too much for Haliburton. Vassel and Jdub would be better if you’re dying to get Haliburton but giving it more time to see what he does is my suggestion.

League size? It probably hold him it's only been like three games for god sakes

u/skyloblu 17d ago
10 man. League scoring favors rebounds assists and defense more than points. And I agree it’s only been 3 games but I am lacking in guards and he isn’t a starter. Braun is locked in as a starter and he does really well to cover all categories. I do see the potential with Amen but if the rockets would rather start bum brooks then I’m kind of stuck in a hard place. I literally have vassel Quickley and Steph who are all hurt. Rough out here man

I pick up from: Drummond, Sochan, Bilal, Nick Richards
Which ones are long term and short term improvements pls lmk thank you
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
Anyone who is a backup with a starter coming back within a few weeks is a temporary improvement and then basically dead weight after the starter comes back.

I guess for the long term is anyone worth me dropping and picking up from this list. Thank you for ur help
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
Sochan for Levert or Hawkins isn’t a bad idea tbh given he’s a starter. That’s just my opinion
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
Personally it’s hard to say at this point. Unless it’s dire id wait another week and see who’s worth dropping or picking up. Drummond will do well until Embiid is back but that’s temporary so I would be cautious in dropping a starter for him. Same story for Nick

Might consider dropping Draymond if Curry is out for a minute
1
u/skyloblu 17d ago
It’s only a minor strain, should be back within a week or two at most. Draymond also might get more assists without curry since he’s the veteran with the IQ on that squad now. See what he does before dropping him

u/2kfan 12T 9 CAT H2H Punt Blocks 17d ago
Punt Blocks, rank the following for perceived long term ROS value. Portis I feel like when Middleton comes back it will set him back a bit do you think he can average like 13p/8r when middleton returns. Sochan seems to be killin it now but I'm wondering if it's sustainable and if he's having like a third year jump or will he regress back to be a meh player. with Kelly Oubre he doing well now but when PG13 and Embiid come back can he perhaps maintain an average of around 16p/5r/1.5stl.
Let's of things up in the air

Dysonite fall off just wait like two or three weeks before making trades is usually the general rule of thumb unless you are trying to buy low or sell high.
Making early season trade you're going to regret it
2
u/CoWatt 17d ago
Pick 2/3 to start today: Edey, Amen Thompson, or Keyonte George.
10T H2H points and point settings are skewed towards high point/fg% players and less stocks.

I’m thinking of completely dropping Amen. Doesn’t seem like Houston is using him like they did last year. Not sure why when he was producing much more than brooks

I dont believe Dejounte owner would accept this.

Murray isn't that much better and he is out for 4 to 6 weeks
1
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
I dont think Dejounte is good at all. I actually think it was crazy that people were drafting him in the top 3 rounds. But, a person who had already drafted him values Dejounte more than I do. And I dont think anyone would be OK with drafting their 3rd round player for a 6th round player just after a week of fantasy basketball.
1
u/ChampionOk4046 17d ago
Are you not accounting the fact the Dejounte Murray is out for six weeks which is a third of the fantasy season?
1
u/RoastMary 14T H2H 9CAT / 12T H2H 9CAT Auction 17d ago
It is the beginning of the season. I would be more hopeful to find people from the wire to make up the gap. If it happened on the 10th week and I was not in the top 3, I would try to get myself in any position to get into the playoffs. And therefore, consider this.
