Hi all,
I'm in an auction keeper league, 9-cat H2H with daily roster moves. I'm currently in 4th place. Top 5 teams are a total 5.5 games apart.
My current roster has:
Kyrie Irving
D'Angelo Russell
Gary Harris
Danny Green
Marcus Smart
Trevor Ariza
Elfrid Payton
Pascal Siakam
Jaren Jackson Jr.
Marvin Williams
John Collins
Andre Drummond
Rudy Gobert
I'm near the top in big men stats, FG%/REB/BLK/TO; and my STL is solid.
My FT%/PTS/AST is garbage, as you can probably guess, and especially when compared to the other top teams in my league. So I'm hoping to make improvements on 3PTM while not hurting and possibly strengthen my core CATs.
Just traded away Payton + $8 auction budget(next season) for Brook Lopez and Justin Holiday, will need to drop Smart to keep Holiday.
Question #1, who would you keep? Smart or Holiday?
Question #2
Right now I have 2 deals on hand:
JJJ($10 to keep next season)+$3 for Bledsoe ($37 to keep, too much, so I likely won't) or
JJJ+$9 for BobCov($19 to keep, I might keep him) and Collison
Which one do you think is better? BobCov can be stashed in my IL spot for now, so I'll worry about the drop when the time comes. A bit torn between a complete win-now move and a semi win-now move. Let me know your thoughts!!
Thanks a bunch.
Chris
Hi cb_no4
The Smart-Holiday call is a real tough decision. I would lean very towards Holiday because he is getting good minutes. In addition Memphis might blow up the team and he could get a huge usage increase. Might be worth the risk.
To be honest I don't think either of those deals are going to help you for the long term. I would counter the offer with something that can help short term but not hurt for the future.
I have been in a dynasty league for 22 years and every time someone makes a "win now at all costs" they regret for the next couple of seasons.
Good luck!
Thanks Coach!!
I know, it would suck to have to cut JJJ, especially seeing how Memphis may go into complete rebuild with him being the center piece.
I guess I might just sit on it for a bit to see how BroLo and Holiday changes my team dynamic first.
Cheers,
Chris
That sounds like a great plan!
Good luck!
Nice work here Coach!
