Hey all - would love to know how your teams did this year!

Mine:

4 money leagues (2 H2H, 2 Roto)

1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in them. Multiplied my money by 2.8, so I'll take it!

I finished 2nd in my 12 team H2H league looking pretty set for playoffs, then lost Jrue, Dunn, Ibaka, Mirotic, Ariza and (kind of) Covington over the space of two weeks.

Needless to say the playoff series was not great.

First year playing NBA fantasy after being away from the league in the last 10 years. In a H2H points league, finished 1st in the regular season but finished 3rd on the playoffs. Got lucky with the 1st draft pick which allowed me to get Giannis, Paul George, Kemba and Vucevic. Then my lack of knowledge kicked in and I drafted Hardaway, Gary Harris, Kris Dunn and Jabari Parker. Luckily I managed to get Siakam. Can't wait to have a proper draft next season with the help of Hoop Ball.

Just a small note Dan, I like when you speak about your teams on the podcast!

This was the third year running my league; 10 team H2H cat. After a mid-season run to first place, I ended up losing in the championship round as AD and Conley were shutdown and my team just did not perform, and I got killed 7-2. But placing first for the season and second in the playoffs, I multiplied my $100 buy in, by 7. I even managed to place in the top 30, twice in the DFS leagues... so was a good year in all.

Thanks Dan, Chef, Erik, Coach, Bru, the Real Big 3, and everyone else involved in this for all the help. Will keep listening to the pods and see you next year.

Hahaha, thanks man! I got a 2-star podcast review with that as the footnote and I thought, well, maybe I don't tie it in enough. But, noted!

Ya! First place in season wins $500 and then the playoff champ wanted to split the first/second place winnings in half (maybe he was scared of losing) so we split the $400.

It was a good 12 months... won $750 from my basketball league last year (first overall and playoff champ), playoff winner in baseball fantasy, then this season’s basketball. Humble brag, I swear.

Very successful fantasy season. Won my points league with work mates, on the back of drafting a Blake/Drummond combo and some proactive trades of Embiid, Mirotic and Bledsoe for KAT, De'Aaron and Clint respectively.

I also won my 12-team Roto-league, which was a vicious battle right to the end. It came down to points and I managed to overtake my opponent in the last two days thanks to Jamal Crawford and an 'outta nowhere' 50-bomb. Shout out to Dan and NBA Fantasy News Today for that one.

My favourite part of fantasy is trading and this season I made a lot of them, including the following trade chain:

Trade George Hill for Wendell Carter Jr. (very early in the season)
Trade Wendell Carter Jr. for Danilo Gallinari (a month before Wendell went down)
Trade Danilo Gallinari + Robert Covington for LaMarcus Aldridge (when RoCo was expected to return soonish)
Trade LaMarcus Aldridge + Jrue Holiday for Kevin Durant (two weeks before Jrue went down)

Thanks to HoopBall for all the great work. The podcasts and live shows were by far the most useful part of it all, and the work you put into these is definitely appreciated.

Enjoy the offseason.

Nicely done, Tama! Looking forward to next year (and maybe some Pokemon in between)!

Finished 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 4th, 4th and 5th in my roto leagues.

That 2nd place was in the winner league... I chased steals like a maniac the last 3 months, got into 1st place with a week to go... only to see the guy who was in 1st all season take back 1st place with 3 days to go because he had 15 games available after I ran out. Happy overall 😉
