Are Derrick White or Isaiah Jackson worth my #1 waiver priority?
Hi guys, I'm in 12 team 9 cat roto. I'm punting TOs and have made a trade request. Thanks!
1. Is a direct J Butler and M Bamba for my B Ingram and N. Claxton worthwhile - I'm worried about butler's durability (only 56 games last yr). For rebounds/blocks (kinda), I have Hartensteine and Aldama on my bench. Might end up punting blocks this year.
Rest of my roster:
PG - K Irving
SG - D Vassel
G - M. Smart
SF - J Tatum
PF - Z Williamson
F - B. ingram
C - C. Wood
C. N. Claxton
Util - K. Johnson
Util - J. Hart
BN - Harstensteine, S Aldama, R O'neale
@evan-barry No for White and maybe for Jackson depending on your level of confidence in him. I think I would but it also might depend on how much I would need a big.
@charlie-yang Because of the uncertainty around Mo Bamba and his role with the Magic this year after he saw fewer minutes than Bol Bol in the opener, I'd stick with Ingram and Claxton even though Butler is the best player in the deal. If you could switch Bamba who has a better shot at delivering top-100 (Bamba might still but I'd like to get more data from the Magic's games) right now.
@stephen-vidovich 12tm h2h 10cat (with double-doubles) - main "bigs" are KAT, Porzingis, J. Allen, Vanderbilt, Bamba. I would be dropping PJ Tucker, Nunn, or Bamba (probably in that order)
@stephen-vidovich What about a C Cunningham and M Robinson for my Christian Wood and J Hart?
I made a mistake drafting wood, not realizing how bad his FT% was lol.... Robinson looks worse than Hartenstein currently.
@evan-barry I'd probably burn my #1 priority on Jackson with the knowledge that it might take him a half a season to deliver on value. Also, I agree with you on Tucker being your first drop. I might end up switching Bamba and Nunn with a bit more data from Orlando.
@charlie-yang I really like the idea of getting Cunningham onto your roster and I'm not as high on Wood as others. I think the value of the players in that deal are as follows: Cade, Hart, Wood, Robinson. I'd like to try and get someone other than Mitch-Rob but he can't be as bad as we saw on Wednesday most nights. I'd make the deal, yes.
9 cat h2h keeper league
?hould I drop Eason for Hartenstein?
@blake-ostrow I probably would, though the keeper aspect does cloud it just a bit. But Hartenstein is going to be solid basically all year, so...
Hey Dan thoughts on trading Poole for Vassell 9 cat h2h.
If Russ gets traded to Indy for Myles and Buddy, what will happen to Halliburton’s value ? Will it hurt him much ? Drafted Hali really high in both my leagues, so very curious for thoughts.
@james64 I'd stick with Poole in that scenario. I know Vassell has a clearer path to minutes but Poole will be the primary guy off the bench for the dubs and with them expecting to rest their main guys throughout the season with a run at another ship, Poole should average close to 30 mpg.
@ryan-lieu No chance it impacts Haliburton's value. I would go as far as to say that I think there would be a greater chance of Russ getting bought out wherever he ends up rather than playing for a rebuilding team.
In my 11T 8 cat roto league l dropped Powell for McDaniels. Was that good? Also someone just dropped Bey for Mathurin. So Bey, Conley, Powell are all available on my wire. Should I now drop Jackson for any of these guys?
