How about a hot take on Mikal Bridges

Hey Chef - I'm currently streaming a spot for an injured Dunn. When he comes back, my weakest players are prob Saric or Dinwiddie, who I feel are prob too valuable to sacrifice for a streaming spot.

In a standard 12 team H2H, as a rough guide, what sort of value are you willing to cut to open up a streaming spot?

He'll be ROY.

Lol, for real though, I have him on 3 teams and am trying to hold on as much as possible. Kid looks like a hooper.

Hey Aaron,

In h2h, I'm super aggressive with streaming so my style might not fit your style. Generally, guys ranked after 100 are automatic goners. I might go down to if he's top-90 but most is in efficiency stat(s) that might not agree with my current build (i.e. I don't want Zeller in h2h).

You also gotta look at replacement value- I can usually find 4+ assists per game on the wire or a few 3s so those guys are always expendable.

I will make some exceptions for build- even before LeVert went down, I was keeping Dinwiddie in one leeg because I needed his (more than 4) assists and threes to complement my other guards so I looked less at in a vacuum value. In two other leegs I'm holding Mitch Rob because 2+ blocks are just impossible to find on the wire.

Saric is looking like the guy at the moment so it'd be ideal if if you pulled off a 2-for-1 trade (or faux 2-for-1) to open up a roster spot.

Hey b-ballgal,

Of all those waiver guys, I like Mikal the best but his stat set doesn't really fit your needs.

None of those players will fit your needs totally, so might just have to either try assists or rebs and blocks.

None of those guys are impressive guards so that leaves Dedmon.

Your lowest ranked player is Slo Mo but that feels like a lateral move for rebs with more blocks and more risk.

I'd probably stand pat now of that front but ideally you'd want to pull off a 2-for-1 trade or a 2-for-2 where the second guy is literally his worst, most garbage player you plan on cutting.

That will open up a roster spot you can use to stream or take a chance on a hot free agent.

Hey Chef!

In a Dynasty:
Otto or Isaac?
Mikal or Kyle Anderson?

Thank you!! Hope the season is going very well for you after so many good advice!

H2H 9 cats, both cases... 🙂

What to do with jwall? Traded trae expecting elfrid to play (that didn't happen) only Vanvleet and Mudiay scampered in waiver as back up PGs. Tried trading wall for bledsoe (that didn't happen either)

Is Jamychal Green an add?

What's up Andre!

Thanks man, still dealing with many injuries but slowly but surely streaming my way forward. Hope yours are also doing well.

The first one is tough as Isaac has a very short history compared to Otto. That's a classic risk-reward play. You don't have to make a decision now so hopefully some of the mess clears in Washington (or maybe he's traded) but my first though would be him.

I think we know who Slo Mo is as a player so I would take upside potential of Mikal for the second one.

I hope you didn't trade Trae for Elf in an H2H leeg 🙁

as for Wall, man, what can you do? He sucked last week but is still top-40 9-cat on the season. The dysfunction in Washington and his injury history will turn off experienced fantasy mangers. Maybe you can deal him to an inexperienced owner.

If not, you're gonna have to try to package him with another player and try to upgrade.

Other than that you trade him for pennies on the dollar (not advised) or ride with him and keep working the trade market in the future.

JJJ looks locked in as the starter and Ja's upside is capped but I have no problem streaming him to see if he keeps it up if you have somebody to drop.

Thank you!! Doing great so far, Hoopball is a huge help!

I really like what I am seeing from Mikal and am stashing him on my dynasties since the draft, it is good to see that recomendation.

I am holding Otto and not trading him for Isaac, it is tempting, I am crazy about Isaac, but I've the feeling that Isaac have the upside to reach what Otto already shown he is (Wizards mess apart).

Thank you once again, have a great day!

Hey chef, how’s the season going so far?
12 team 9 cat H2H
5-0 record
My team is
PG: Kemba/Rubio
SG: Butler/Hardawayjr/Doncic
SF: otter/Brogdan Bogdan
PF: Tobias/Favors/Isaac
C: Towns/Capela/Allen/
IR: Barton SF/SG

Hollisjeff is on the waivers? Should I drop isaac for him?

Also Payton and levert are on the waivers, should I be thinking about picking them up soon and holding them until Barton comes backs even if that means losing a week or two seeing as I have a great record ?
