This is my roster in a 12-team 16, player rosters, 9-cat H2H. I have gotten blown out each week. For my sanity, do you think this is a last place team? Any players you'd be trying to move or buy to try and get out of the cellar? Just stay patient this team can't be this bad? I used the B-150 and HB rankings for my draft and have been reading every article that comes out each, but so far it has been to no avail.

PG Kyrie Irving
SG Tim Hardaway Jr
G Malcolm Brogdom
G Courtney Lee
SF Kevin Durant
PF Ryan Anderson
F Taurean Prince
F JaMychal Green
C Kristaps Porzingis
C Steven Adams
UTIL JJ Barea
UTIL JR Smith
UTIL Caris LeVert
BN Denzel Valentine
BN Richaun Holmes
BN Mario Chalmers

Get rid of the guys that are hurting you. LeVert is a % killer.

And if you're losing, you kinda need to get rid of guys that aren't playing, as sad as that may seem.

Is this an unlimited games daily moves league?

Daily moves league, unlimited games but can only make 4 adds/drops per week.

I hate to say it but you gotta dump Holmes. You need guys producing. Can't really afford to stash in an unlimited games league unless you're in 1st place. It really does pain me to suggest such a move, but you don't have that luxury losing weeks.

Yeah I have those guys because there the waiver wire is bare. Almost every article I read every guy is already owned. I could pick up E'Twaun Moore, Jerryd Bayless, and Salah Mejri and drop LeVert, JR Smith, and Holmes. Mirotic is also available, I could throw him in my IL spot, but I'm worried I'm going to end up needing that for Hardaway.

Holmes actually could see some mins tonight if embiid sits out. Let's see how this one goes and make some calls.

It appears things did... not go well for Holmes. I think I'm officially fed up.

If you're in an unlimited games format you probably need to move on.

He's a luxury stash at this point, at least until Amir Johnson gets pushed aside, and we don't know when that'll be.

Had a mass exodus last night. Out was Caris LeVert, JR Smith, and Richaun Holmes and in came E'twaun Moore, Noah Vonleh, Shabazz Napier, and Nikola Mirotic to the injured list.

Casting my eye over your roster, it seems like you have decent individual players. Doing some rough numbers I see the following:

Strong: FT%, 3s, TO
Average: FG%, Pts, STL, BLK
Weak: Reb, Ast

So it seems a little odd to me that you're getting blown out each week. Maybe you're just having some bad luck with match ups or scheduling these first few weeks?

I wonder since you're getting crushed in boards and dimes, maybe you should consider punting one or both of those cats and make a trade to put you over the edge on a couple of your middling cats? Maybe you could target Brook Lopez who is non-rebounding shot blocker with good FT%? Maybe you could go crazy and trade Kyrie for Hassan Whiteside, who will instantly make you strong in FG% and blocks, and competitive in boards, and only weak in points?

Just my 2 cents.
