I was wondering if I should pick up Nance since he is close to getting better. I know i will week 1 and i can drop Ball who is in my IR spot right now. What are your thoughts on picking up Nance?
I am in a 14 team league and the wire is very dry at the moment plus i only have ONE pick up left for the season
My team: Giannis, Embiid, PG13, Dedmon,Brogdon,Dotson,Ross,Bogdan Bogdanvic,Osman,Portis,Robinson,Batum,Matthews,Powell, IR Lonzo
Assuming you're in a re-draft league, Ball is a drop, being done for the season, and yeah you could throw Nance in that IR spot and keep him there till he's producing, but my concern with it being your ONLY remaining move of the season is it's a little risky. He was getting good minutes before going down, but for a good amount of the season, CLE has seemed reluctant to play him, so do we see more of that with Love back and getting good minutes himself? So there are definitely some questions, but if there's absolutely nothing left on your wire it's something to consider, but also consider if you're comfortably going to win this week, teams that don't have it so easy will likely be in some tough spots and forced to drop some quality players in order to advance. This is probably the best time of year for waiver pick-ups. Also teams that have 2-game weeks next week (ORL and BKN) are seeing their players dropped a lot right now. So there's a chance anyone on those teams makes their way into the trach heap. Imagine picking up a guy like D'angelo Russell, for the final week...that probably wont' happen, but we've seen much crazier things this time of year while we all fight to advance.
Latest news on Nance...
He went through shootaround, but the medical staff said Nance is not ready to play yet. That could mean he'll be back early next week, and he would likely have some value upon his return. He'll be worth owning when he's back, but it may be tough to stash him.
Risky move, probably a minutes restriction once he returns.
Good luck!
Now that Brogdon is basically done for the fantasy season which hurts. I do punt assist on my team as he's my only point guard. Should i add another big to sure up my percentatges , rebounding and blocks?
Here are some names that are now on the wire
Poeltl-4 games next week
Kleber-4 games
Norm Powell-4 games
Aminu-just got dropped
Zizic-just dropped
VanVleet
Faried
Ish Smith
Solid strategy to solidify with a F-C!
I think N. Powell would be a very smart add. He fits your build.
Good luck!
Hey Coach, is it Norm Powell of the Raps you are saying to add instead of the others. I do have Dwight Powell on my team.
Yes, Norman or VanVleet. Sorry 🙂
