i'm in a 12 team, 9 category h2h league. i just drafted Hali + Lillard with my first two picks, and somehow cade fell to me in the 3rd round. A GM who took kawhi with his 2nd rd pick is offering him for my cade, and after a couple of minutes of research, I accepted the offer. Your thoughts on the transaction?

@marlolram I can dig it. the h2h part makes me a little nervous but Kawhi I have ahead of Cade in most formats.

I've been having several debates about roster settings lately.
What's your take on:
1) In H2H, 2 IL slot versus adding two extra bench slots
2) In H2H, reducing starters to 8 slots + 5 bench slots (some people think this gives you actual strategy decisions and having to bench really good players some times)
3) Would you rather have: 2 Center slots versus 1 C + add an Util slot versus having only one C + 1F/C (in Fantrax you can do this, I believe Yahoo doesn't give you the option)
4) What do you prefer: Standard PG,SG,G,SF,F,PF roster or a more flexible 3G and 3F

Thanks in advance. 

@kadeworld

1. I think in H2H, you need IL

2. I'm not sure I like having to bench good players

3. I like 2 C but I'm also an old man and I tend to like centers because they can carry my FG%. No really strong opinions either way, really.

4. I like 3G and 3F because it does eliminate SOME of the positional eligibility nonsense

I'm not as locked in as I usually am, but when are the DBOMS going to be released? And when are the HB6 going to be disclosed? I see candidates when sorting the B150 by +/- on ADP but looking for those endorsed by the Org. I think they were still HB6 last year and not SE6, right? My sense of timing is so warped by the last 2-3 years.

@brian-cox Hey Brian! The HB6 or SE6 are basically what you found. It's just writeups on the big jumpers from the B150, more or less, and the article typically comes after draft season is over. As far as DBOMS go I'm going to try to get them to Subs about a week before the season starts, and then the regular free public gets 'em right before opening night.

I have the 2nd pick in H2H 9 cat league. Leaning towards Giannis and the punt FT%. 

1. Suggestions on targets in 2nd and 3rd? Is Zion too far a reach at pick 26?

2. Should I strongly consider someone else e.g. Embiid or Durant?

Thanks!

If you're punting, there's really no point at which it's too early to grab the guys that create your build. I'd probably still lean Durant and not force myself into a punt, but I understand the Giannis/FT move. Just need to be really on point after that!

Hey Dan,

In a 9 cat H2H keeper format, what round would you target an injured player like JJJ knowing that he would potentially/probably be a keeper next season for you? Keeper is based on the round they were drafted. e.g. Draft in the 12th, keep for my 12th pick the following season.

@moglieone I'm guessing because of those settings he'll move earlier in yours. I'd be comfortable blowing a pick as early as my 6th rounder on it in that case.

@dbesbris okay that’s good to know! I would either have to go 5th round or 8th as I’m keeping Haliburton (6th) and Terry (7th) this season. I think I’ll risk the 8th pick

Any of the Sports Ethos pros make it into the FBI World Cup this year?

@mitch-ashby Not sure. I'm too busy to add anything

I'm sorry if this has been covered previously, but I could not find it.

1. League transitioned last year (not my choice) from roto to weekly H2H 8cat where you get 1 win or loss or tie.  What rankings should we be using for a league like this?  Last year I used the 8cat, but it didn't really help since I would destroy teams in certain categories but lose other categories by slim margins.  

2.  Any suggestions for league settings on how to make a league like this less about games played?  We have some restrictions in place currently, but imbalanced schedules for stars still make a huge difference week to week.

Thank you
