Whats your outlook on Lowry? I see current rests as Lowry/Kawhi recharging before they build into the playoffs.

Are you buying on Lowry now, or staying away?

Yup, but real playoffs start after h2h playoffs so still a possibility of missed games down the stretch.

I'm in the middle on Lowry- not tossing offers cuz his name value is higher than what I want to give up for him, but if another owner is desperate to unload, I would grab him.

8-cat rankings so far on the season: Conley- 33 and Hield -51 while DeMar -43 and Dipo-44.

The big question comes down to this- If you think Conley plays in full down the stretch you go that side, if not , the other side.

(personally, while it isn't a huge worry, ideally I'd like to trade both shares of my Conley.)

Gallo has almost triple the stand-alone value of JJJ on the season but I'm super scared of his back and would take JJJ ros.

Could very well be wrong but Rooster has burned me more than once in the past.

I wouldn;t drop anyone good for him cuz there's still so much depth in MIA, but if you have a streaming spot you could for sure take a flier.

For ROS/H2H playoffs, would you drop SloMo for any of the following?
Mikal, Baze, Isaac

And would you drop Kanter for Love, Valanciunas, or Robinson?

Thanks!

I'd drop Slo Mo for Mikal.

Not sure about Kanter yet with Kornet down, but I'd consider for Love if you have IR spot to stash him.

Mr H2H Master. It's getting to crunch time. It's a win only league (ie, you score 1 or 0 for a win/loss)

Squad has:
AD (incured), CP3 (Injured), Capela (Injured), Dedmon, Hield, Bog Bogdanovic, Otto Porter, PJ Tucker, Jon Isaac, Myles Turner, Niko Mirotic, Will barton, Kenneth Faried (Stream for Capela)

We have 5 rounds remaining before playoffs, of which i play 2 teams in the playoffs, and 2 teams on the bubble. I'm sitting just outside the playoff bubble looking in. Short summary, need to win most of these games. Top two teams in my division who hold playoff spots are opponents over the next 3 weeks (Before my talent get back...).

Who do you burn to turn into aggressive streaming spots? I am eyeing off Isaac, Faried, Barton (coming back but too slowly) and PJ Tucker...

Thanks in advance

Man, so many injuries, it's great you're hanging in there- hopefully Cp and AD back soon.

First, to stream effectively, you gotta embrace it.

Isaac for me is the first to go- bad h22h schedule and just cant put it together, Barton the one I'm trying to hold the longest (great schedule, proven track record).

Faried and Tucker and also easily expendable. Faried might get some minutes and popcorn stats but lacking overall in 9-cat (depending on where you're competitive). Tucker, as a top-100ish concept, is expendable but you at least let him cool off (top-50 last two weeks) before you drop.

12 team h2h 9cat

Hey chef, I woke up to the news that AD might miss now a month and already freaking out! If that's true, then that means right around playoffs. I'm currently tied for 6th (only 6 can make it). I fear that I won't make it. What's should I do? Should I try to trade for him now? Should I do three for one? Do I Target other owners at the top or bottom of the standings?if I can sucker another owner into giving me more than I ask than that'll be awesome!!! The other owners in my league tend to hold guys for a long period of time.

*(My team)*

AD
FOX
DUNN
LAMB
ISAAC (TAKING A FLIER ON HIM)
D.BOOKER
Bogdan (sac)
AMINU
T.YOUNG
JJJ
J.COLLINS
J.MURRAY
J.HOLIDAY (TAKING A FLIER ON HIM)

I feel like I should aim an owner near the top to middle of standings for a 1-1trade because it'll seem fair but it'll give the owner less to worry about. They won't be giving up so much he for After and worry about slipping in the standings as well.

First, I'd not jump the gun and wait for any confirmation on injury and recovery time.

Second, I'd analyze my opponents up until the playoffs and the No. 7/8 teams (if they're close). How much of a chance do you have to keep that playoff spot?

If, after the first two, you decide you need instant help to make the playoffs, you're correct that the higher ranked team has more room for error- but also might be less willing to shake up his team.

If you do try and trade him, I'd toss tiers of value for trade offers- AD for Top-20-30 whatever. If those don't gain traction, go to tier 2- top-30-40, etc....
