Holmes

Melton
Mikal Bridges
I was 2nd/3rd before all these injuries hit but have slid down to 7th. I've survived my brutal middle of the season injuries, with Prince mirotic Lamb Bazemore Porter all coming back recently or soon. I was celebrating Harris coming back but hes on the shelf again.
When I had to stream like crazy and adjust during the injuries, my new core stats have been %s, steals, blocks and TOs (easy since 1/3 of my team had been injured for almost a month so i was always short games played).
With that, i've started sending out feelers to see if anyone wanted Harris, especially the top teams that can afford to stash him, while I need production now. Players that I've targeted are WCJ, WCS, Vonleh, Batum - players that offer 3 steals/blocks per game. Are there other players that fit the defensive stats mold that I'm looking for I can target with Harris as the player going the other way?
What do you think? Can anyone convince me to hold harris given my situation? Am i selling too low? Will he come back and be the player that's avg'd 1 steal and .5 blocks per game this year? or last year when he avg'd almost 2 steals per game? I'm also thinking denver too stacked this year.
I've also tried 2-1 trades to open up more streaming spots, but no one in my league interested. I even offered lamb and harris for siakam and was turned down.
Thanks in advance
A lot to unpack in this post.
On another note - Bazemore just got an update that hes not that close to coming back yet. In a league with no IR spots, if I can flip him to one of the top teams who can afford to stash him, do I have to drop him if I'm clawing to get into the playoffs?
Thanks again!
That’s funny, I’m basically asking the same question. Is Bazemore a hold for playoffs or a drop for extra games now? I’m not sure you could get more than a streamer for Bazemore in a trade
I’m inclined to believe he’s a drop (with no injury spots) but hoping to hear others views too.
I asked a similar question about Baze in comparison to Love, Porzingis, Rondo, IT, etc and El Architecto (Dan Besbris if you didn’t know), suggested Baze for me as I’m punting boards.
Yeah, I think you're stuck with baze, and I would. 2 more weeks wouldn't break the bank.
With Harris he's just injury prone. I think you should at least wait out this one week before bailing, there. If he gets back and gives you a few strong weeks in a row, you could try to move him them.
