Deandre Ayton
Ricky Rubio
John Collins
Kyle Anderson
Jonathan Isaac
Wendell Carter Jr.
Niko Mirotic
Joe Ingles
Nerlens Noel

His Team
Harden
Lou Will
Kemba
Tim Hardaway
Embiid
Nic Vucevic
Gobert
Jarrett Allen
Redick
RoCo
Knox
Melo
Sabonis
Reggie Jackson

That would be giving up Jokic at a loss. If you want points, consider trading Kyle Anderson once he’s healthy. He’s a 9cat gem for his low TOs but will not be a great scorer.

Love the way people are taking Chef's advice on gaps and coming to Erik to help fix them.
Like a car dealer, once you decide on the car get handed to the finance team to work out the best way to pay for it...

"Let me transfer you to the trades department".

P.S. Negotiating a potential KAT for Harden +1 trade. If i can get out of this with the plus 1 being <top 50 per the B150 would you go for it? 9cat roto.

The same owner changed the offer to take Embiid for Oladipo? Thanks for the help.

Thinking of sending a trade offer.

My Lowry and Middleton for his Paul George and J Rich.

I have a team I drafted with a soft punt assist build in mind, which is now in a little bit of a conundrum of which direction to go.
I was thinking this would help me boost my stocks, while keeping most other things pretty similar.
This would be me leaner harder into the assist punt though.

My team is:

KAT
Middleton
Lowry
Collins
Whiteside
Barton
D Murray =( lost and I picked up SGA from the wire
Hield
Wiggins
Olynyk
Beverley
Lamb
Miles Bridges
Mitch Rob

What do you think Erik??

The move addresses your objective. It’s a fair offer. If you’re committed to the strat then offer it. Good luck!

Hey Erik! Wanted to ask for your advice on a possible trade.

My Jarrett Allen + Thad Young + Poeltl for Kanter + Mirotic + Wes Matthews

I'm trying to change Matthews into Ariza, but I'm assuming he's gonna say no. This would decrease my blocks and FG% but greatly increase my 3s, points and rebounds. Tbh I'm hesitant to do it but I'm worried of all the talk of reducing Thad's minutes and how much Poeltl has been marginalized this preseason, so I wanted to get a trade in before regular season starts.

For context this is a 16 team 9cat H2H league, and this is the rest of my team:

Bledsoe, Derrick White, DJ Augustin

JRich, Hield, Lamb, Levert, Monk

Thad Young

KAT, Myles Turner, Jarrett Allen, Poeltl

NVM.... it was insta-rejected lol!
I have another potential idea.
I might be giving up too much but....

My Lowry + Wiggins for his RoCo + Doncic

You can lead with the request for Ariza then fall back to Matthews and call it a “compromise” and that you’re meeting him halfway.

Got declined again!

Return offer was my Middleton + Wiggins for his RoCo + Doncic.
I'm higher on Middleton than I am Lowry, so now I'm worried I'm giving up too much.

What do you think?

I’m on board that Middleton is way better than Lowry in many levels.

That said, Wiggins is meh.

In the end, this trade’s success is hinging on Doncic’s rookie campaign. Assuming you pull the trigger, of course

Yeah he really did say no to Ariza but yes to the Wes one. What do you think of the trade for my team?

Yea.. that's definitely the big question.

If Doncic does better than expected (I feel like he'll be solid but not amazing, which I feel like so many people are expecting amazing), then I win the trade cuz Wiggins sucks balls.

But... am I giving up too much here in Middleton just cuz I hate Wiggins so much?
Will I regret giving up 2nd rounder for RoCo and Doncic?
I mean.. because I lost a mid rounder in Murray, I'm not totally against taking one super dude and making him into two decent dudes...

BAHHHHh I don't know.. lol
Would you pull the trigger on this one?

If you look at it as a 2:1 I would.

To give some context on my value for RoCo, in an 18-team I traded Simmons and Bam for Capela and RoCo.
