Hi Dan,

 

Thanks for your work. 

9-cat, 16-team 

I would like to sell high on Anfernee Simons. Any ideas of who can I get for him ? Looking for FG%, low TO, STL 

 

Thanks.

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?

I find it hard to fathom you're not closer to the top in points with Giannis, Dame, Booker and Fox in there... I can see boards being an issue, so maybe the move here is to try to flip Sengun for someone who does more defensively?

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

I think a cheap choice would be someone like Gary Trent Jr, who you could easily get for someone like WCJ... but I'm also seeing that your worst player here is basically top-75... is this a 10-team league by any chance?

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!

Well I think the first move has to be to get rid of Reggie Jackson. He's bad and doesn't fit your build at all. Second, Oubre stinks at FT, yes, but his whole game right now is 3's, points and steals. I'm not sure you can get much for those guys but they're sorta wasted space given what you're trying to do with your club.

Vanderbilt maybe? Hartenstein or Horford or Poeltl could work but not much for steals.

Leaning toward the Butler side since it also opens up a roster spot...

@dbesbris 12 team. I was able to trade Zion, Brogdon and Herro away during the first week for Kat and Bane. Also traded Claxton and Murphy away for Turner. Tried to maximize sell high, buy low windows.

Trae, Booker and Bane are my only guards and Trae is my sole PG. I managed to snatch melton of the wire a week before harden got hurt but I lack depth in the guards department. Would trading WCJ for Trent Jr hurt my FG and Rebounds too much? 

Thanks again!!!

It’s a tiny step down overall but man you did a hell of a job with those trades.

I think I’m down on points right now since I couldn’t switch out Dame and Fox then since my IR was full. Hopefully, it’ll start to go up now that they’re healthy.

Among these names, who do you like the most and think is a realistic trade target for Sengun? Mobley, Poeltl, Horford, PJ Washington, or maybe a buy low on Gobert? I’m mostly thinking of C eligible players since we have 2 center slots in our league.

Thanks!!

I bet you could get almost any of those dudes for Sengun. He's a buzzy name. Try for Mobley. Maybe you can add a kicker if you needed to, but Mobley's defensive stats should be really useful if you're going to move away from boards and just kinda soft punt rebounds

Hello Dan,

I just wanted your opinion on my 10t 9 cat espn squad. I want to see if you recommend any trades or pieces to move around to make my team better.

- Ja Morant

- Lebron James

- Paul George

- Julius Randle

- Jakob Poeltl

- Vassell

- Rudy Gobert

-Sengun

- Jamal Murray

- Keegan Murray

- Anfernee Simons

- Vanderbilt

- Morris Sr. 

My FT% is kind of down, but my build is kind of punting that. Any help would be appreciated on who I should trade for, or acquire. Horford is currently available to pick up, and Morris is my stream spot.
