Looking for advice on boosting my bench. First year doing fantasy basketball and didn't listen to y'all before I drafted (leason learned).

Current roster

D. Lillard PG
J. Wall PG
L. Williams SG
D. Gallinari SF
D. Favors PF
A. Horford C
D. Saric PF
T. Ross SG
J. Grant SF
N. Batum SG
C. Zeller C
M. Williams PF

League's a 16-team 6-Keeper H2H 9-cat (no TO, DD)

Offers are

Buddy, Mo bamba for Lillard

Markkanen, James Johnson, James Ennis for Lillard, Horford, Saric

Or

Kuzma, Barnes for Lillard

Thank you for your time. Love supporting the amazing content!

Hi! I am well, thanks.

I like that KD trade a lot. Just ask for the guys he was planning to drop, just in case they're better than the stock on the wire.

If you're giving up those two guys, who are you going to slot into the active lineup? If you have the depth, it's ok.

I agree with moving on from Paul but I'd counter and ask for someone better than Bazemore because McGee and his blocks ae worth a lot on the market

Hi! All of those offers are too low for Lillard. He's worth much more. You can counter by asking for better (much better) players.

Hey y’all. So I’ve written in before about trying to acquire Curry and offers I’ve made have caught the owners eye but he’s never pulled the trigger. In the past couple days he’s inquired about my Butler (for Hayward + 1) and today Bledsoe. Here is my full roster, as well as his. Do you think Butler and Bledsoe straight up for Curry is too much? If so, is there something else on his team that I should ask for? TIA.

My Team
CJM, Bledsoe, Conley, Juancho, JJJ, JRich, Richaun, AD, Butler, Frazier, Spider, Lamb, Allen (BKN), Prince (IR), Dunn (IR but have to pull him off)

His Team
Simmons, Holiday (CHI), Curry, Hayward, Ibaka, Matthews, Gasol (MEM), Taj, Klay, Daniels, Portis, Baze, Ross (ORL), Rondo (IR)

I’m in last cuz I was decimated by injuries earlier in the season .. I see I’m always getting killed in points so I’m thinking about punting points and so I got offered Fournier for slomo do I take it ?

Hi Erik,

got a trade offer I was all about to accept, but I am now hesitating.
I am in a 10 team 15 Players per team H2H. 9cat plus OR DD PF PF 3% FG FT ATO...

I got offered Aaron Gordon and Rubio for my Ayton and Gary Harris (injured for 3-4 weeks).

I also have Jimmy Butler and a bit concerned he will be out for 3-4 weeks as well. So I tend to take the offer as I dont want to carry two injured player for that long.

Thanks for zour advice.

Your biggest loss here is Ayton, who does provide double-doubles. I think you should find an upgrade to Rubio if possible. Harris' injury notwithstanding. He's just taking advantage of your weakness at the moment due to injuries.

horford's current knee injury doesn't worry you at all (aside from dar's poor percentages), then?

DAR's percentages are always a concern. Horford's injury looks to be measured in games, not weeks.
