Been offered Mccolum and Kanter for Lowry and Jaylen/Harkless
Just taking a guess here, but I get the feeling you also use RW's numbers? 😉
I like that team you put together! I personally like the Lowry side of the trade proposal the best.
Also, a plug for a league I just created if you want a semi-competitive 14 team keeper league that we just created. We would love to have you! Draft is this Sunday 9pm eastern.
I think you made some decent selections in the back end with TJ Warren, Dedmon, & Harkless but I really dislike Ben Simmons' stat set. I think LMA is going to regress as well, he finished 53rd last year and I don't see him improving upon that. Harris is a great selection and I think Jamal Murray has potential, but I'm not too high on him. Who's on your wire?

@Dan, most of the guys in the league follow RW as well, for my draft rankings I try making my own based on BBMs player ranking for 9cat the previous year and andjusting the ranks to where I feel comfortable taking them.
Yeah, current I am shopping Simmons, he may be the pick I regret because I don't like his FT%, I have taken him in some Giannis punt ft mocks.
LMA wasn't an ideal target but ran out of C targets that have good percentages
Who do you guys feel as an ideal target in a trade involving simmons, i do have several sent out.
I also picked up MKG after stashing Kief, failed in priority to waiver pick Lamb and Tatum.
Sorry to say this, but your nemesis is ahead with the better team right now. That said, the draft is half the game. I've clawed back from a fugly draft and last in league standings end of December to come out as champ. Work the wire. Make good trades. You can still win this.
Per game, I still like Lowry over McCollum, health notwithstanding.
Also, Toronto has a key string of weeks with 4 games, the ones that lead to and start off most playoffs. Owning the best player on a team with an ideal sched for a push might be important.
Yeah, and picking 1st and the turns is more difficult this year than in previous years. We've known the draft order days before the draft and even after doing mocks at the #1 pick, I've seen that my succeeding picks at the turns of the round, i'd have difficulty finding quality C unless I reach and I didnt want to do that.
At 24th and 25th, I would have to reach for Gasol and Horford, none of the 2nd rd. Cs are falling there. at 48th and 49th, not much either, the 5th or 6th pick this year is the sweet spot optimal pick I think
