Hey Dan, I'm in an 8-team 9-cat H2H daily league. Having trouble finding an identity for my team and trying to decide what cats I need to be punting/trading away/trading for

PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, UTIL, UTIL + 6 bench spots + 2 IL

Haliburton, Kyrie, McCollum, Tre Jones

J. Brown, Maxey, Huerter, Melton

OG, MPJ

Randle, Olynyk

Embiid, Ayton, Vando, Bol

IL - Kawhi, JJJ

can't decide if it would be better to punt 3s or assists. most other teams are built well and really stacked at those cats. some names on the wire: Claxton, Hartenstein, Morris Sr., horford

thanks in advance!

Hey Dan! Where do you see Jalen Smith being ranked end of season in ESPN standard pts league?

I must admit, my points league rankings skills aren't as good as category, but I think he'll be inside the top-100, especially after they move toward youth

Do you think an AD trade would lower his value? With the Lakers he's pretty much number 1 or 2 depending how you look at it.

I doubt they move him. Lakers are too proud, even if blowing it up actually kinda does make sense.

Fantasy PTS League, have to drop 1

 

Levert

Bojan

KCP

 

What are their points/ranks in your format? I'm leaning towards KCP because his value is tied up in being NOT BAD in any category, but LeVert, who is brutal at both %s... that doesn't really matter as much.

So 8-team, 16 roster slot is going to play more like a 10-12 teamer. Like a super shallow 12, I guess. To that end, and considering you've got Claxton and Hartenstein on the wire, guys currently ranked near the top-50, I think you can remake your team in any number of ways. And when you mentioned that other teams are loaded on guards and you've got 4 centers on the wire, well, I feel like you answered your question. You can trade Haliburton for a guard that assists less if you want. Lean into guys like DeMar, CP3, Butler, that don't shoot 3's but have strong %s and try to win both %s, compete in points, but make sure you win boards, steals, blocks and TOs

Koloko you could drop for anyone. Why not stream 1 or 2 of those slots?

Hi Dan!

Big fan here and I’ve been following you since two seasons ago. I was just wondering if I can ask for help with the team I have (9cat 10t):

  • Antetokounmpo
  • Booker
  • Lillard
  • Cunningham
  • Scottie Barnes
  • Fox
  • Sengun
  • Middleton
  • F. Wagner
  • JJJ
  • Jamal Murray
  • Jabari Smith
  • Lonzo Ball
  • +streamers for those in IR

I’m currently last in my league and I’m afraid I didn’t get to build my team right because I ended up picking for value (Dame at 3rd round). Should I wait it out a bit or try to rebuild by trading to build more around Giannis or even trade him to get pieces that fit better? Thank you so much in advance for the help!

Yeah I'm definitely seeing some mismatched pieces though obviously have giannis/booker/dame at the top is pretty amazing if this was roto. You have 3 guys hurt. Are they all on the IL or are you taking zeroes from any of them? What categories have you been winning/losing so far? We're going to want to probably shift some pieces around.

@dbesbris

We have 3 IR slots so I ended up taking zeroes when dame and fox were hurt. If I look at the team stats ranking on yahoo, I'm not one of the leaders of the categories as of now but I'm at least middle of the pack for ft%, points, steals, blocks, and turnovers. I felt good that my team seemed well-rounded but I also thought it could come back to bite me in H2H. Do you have suggestions on who I can look to trade or the categories I can push for?

Hi Dan,

 

Had a decent time to analyze my team and its weaknesses and its really lacking steals & 3s. My team is big man heavy and punting assists. Could you recommend someone from the guard position that can help me boost those 2 categories? Someone I can trade for

Trae

Bane

Booker

Lauri

Keldon

Kat

KP

Turner

Sengun

Wendell

 

Also, have you thought about adding the episode number directly next to the episode name on the pod? That way you never forget which episode you are in and if you do you can just quickly look at the previous one.

 

Thanks Dan

Hey Dan!  I was just wondering if I can ask for help with the team I have: 

9-cat, 10-team 

  • Lebron
  • AD
  • Butler
  • Poeltl
  • Scottie Barnes
  • Giddey
  • Bridges
  • Reggie Jackson
  • Steven Adams
  • Vandey
  • Josh Hart
  • Patrick Williams
  • Oubre
  • Reggie Jackson

I’m currently 9th in my league and my team just isn’t producing like I thought they would. I’m in a punt 3PM, FT% and soft punt on PTS. I found my punt build rather late so I’ve been trying to rebuild and scramble bit since the season started m. Now I’m trying to get guys that fit that build, while gauging my team. Should I rebuild by trading to build more around AD and Bron or even trade one of them to get better pieces? Thank you so much in advance for the help!
