Thanks as always for your assurance and analysis, Santino!
Hey Santino! In a 9-cat, 14 team league. I've done a few trades and pickups, wanted to know what you think of my team.
Guards: Devin Booker, Kyle Lowry, Devonte Graham, Lonzo Ball (traded away Alec Burks and Kendrick Nunn for him), Tomas Satoransky
Wings: Robert Covington, OG Anunoby, Danuel House, Jr., Miles Bridges
Bigs: Anthony Davis, Deandre Ayton, Richaun Holmes, Larry Nance, Jr.
What do you think? At this point I don't know who to drop to stream, if any.
In a testament to how fast people's values change; Melton is no longer the top pick. Morant went from week-to-week to probable tonight in under 10 days. If he's back, then it's self-explanatory.
Good Morning Santino, Give it a Spin!
8 cat H to H
Sexton, Nunn, Richardson (inj), House, Doncic, Butler, Jokic, Wagner, Bam, streamers: Temple, Huerter, Thybulle Suspended (Aston, Collins)
Holding On still the PED Bros Return?
Thanks

Sorry, 12 Team
I like that trade. Essentially two guys you picked up off of waivers for someone who was going as high as the fifth round a month and a half ago. Yes, he has struggled badly this year, but his upside is worth it for what you gave up, which essentially wasn't much. It also allowed you to pick someone up which had to have been a solid player.
Going off that, yeah, I don't really see an obvious droppable guy in this group. I mentioned in a recent post I like to identify the last 3/4 players on my roster that I would be okay with dropping/streaming/etc if I had to. It is much easier in a deeper league for obvious reasons, but even a standard will do. I'll dive a little further in what I mean by that in this post. And myself personally, I like to continually update the list and the order of them weekly as various factors change daily. A hypothetical example would be something like having Nerlens Noel in a standard league and having him somewhere among those 3/4 droppable guys to start the week. By Saturday he's all the sudden played three straight games with 28+ mpg. Maybe I had him as my 2nd most droppable guy the week prior, but now he's jumping back (and maybe even potentially out of that group, depending on my roster) if he's going to see that amount of time on a regular basis. That's just a hypothetical example, and again not every team/league is the same. Also, having the list ready, doesn't necessarily mean that you will/should drop a guy, it just makes you prepared to do so if you need to. With all of my rambling in mind, let's jump back to your team in particular. While I like your current options and wouldn't actively seek to drop anyone right now for a streamer, the list must go on and I would have this if I was in your shoes (in order of most droppable); Bridges, House, Nance, Sataransky. The list comes in handy when thinking about streaming or going with a hot free agent, which is a definite dilemma we face in fantasy bball. Another reason why I like to have this list always on hand is because it gets you prepared to make a move as you've already thought about it. If you're faced with the question of streaming to get a win this week or risk losing, well in your case, Bridges or one of the others, you're more prepared to make that call. I hope this helps!
