Only if you're in a super shallow league and there are stars on the wire.

In a competitive standard league who is on the wire that's a sure bet?

Also how is your team doing- maintaining or sinking?

The answer to those questions can guide your decision.

fwiw, I have 2 shares of Isaac and am holding on both for now.

Forbes value will take a hit later in season when White gets back.

Dinwiddie is a low-end guy- usable for sure but not must own if you wanna chase a hot free agent.

I'm not big on either but I'll say Dinwiddie in H2H, Slo-Mo in roto.

Hey Chef,

What are your thoughts on Cedi for 9 cat? Worth dropping Thad, lamb, or Tyreke Evans for him?

I don't think I would drop any of those guys for Cedi unless maybe I was punting TOs and FG%.

Thanks Chef! Keep up the great work!

What do you feel about giving Batum & Dedmon for McCollum & Prince?

Thanks for the insight chef, I appreciate it! One last question I am also rostering Isaac as well as Hart. I will surely admit I am not the most patient manager and my league is semi-shallow with only 3 bench spots and 12 members. What are your thoughts on Hart long term this year? I already know how much upside Isaac has. How long to wait until cutting bait on these two? Beginning of December? January? I am looking to strike on mid-round players this early in the year and the wire can be rather popping on a night to night basis. Quick overview of my format below. Thanks again!!

H2H points league that favors steals and rebounds with a slight bias towards made 3's. FG% and turnovers are slightly penalized. FT% is heavily penalized.

I don't know how many blocks Siakam will be getting, but Olynyk doesn't get a whole lot either so if you're determined to get him, Kelly looks like the drop.

Thanks Swaggy

i would do that.

You got it.

I'm not either, but for guys with that much upside I try to force myself to be patient- I actually put in a waiver claim for Isaac yesterday in one leeg where somebody dropped him.

For Issac- at least another month or so.

Hart is already a top-80 guy and would be higher if his FT% was at last year's levels. I think I'm holding him season long and would add him on most teams were the other manager to drop him. He fits your format as he rebounds well for his position, gets 3s and steals and isn't taking enough Fts to really damage you much.

I will continue being patient then, glad I didn't already anger drop Isaac (I scooped him off the wire , he wasn't even drafted - crazy). Thanks again man I appreciate it!

Hey chef! Not sure this is still on, but worth a try :)!!

Do you think i should trade butler away? Im thinking of sending him + galo for lillard... its a h2h league.. maybe waiting for hik to get traded is not a very bad thing.

No prob

I'm trying to trade for Butler haha

If you could get Lillard though, that'd be pretty sweet.
