OFFICIAL 2014-2015 FANTASY BASKETBALL THREAD

Okay NT, can I get some advice on who to play on Wednesday?
My team is quite guard-heavy right now and I need to leave someone on the bench

PG: Chris Paul, Tony Wroten, Isaiah Thomas
SG: Eric Bledsoe, Lou Williams
SG/SF: Gordon Hayward, Nicolas Batum, P.J. Tucker

So of those 8 I have to bench one. I definitely know it's not gonna be CP3 riding the bench, but it's really up in the air for the other guys. I wanna maximize points and rebounds becasue that's what the team I'm up against specializes in.

CP3, Gordon and Batum are automatic starts any given night. Bledsoe, Tony Wroten, and IT3 are matchup based guys right now but should be started as well. That leaves Lou and PJ and I say you start Lou, he's on a hot streak right now so keep riding it.

Just traded away Serge for Monta straight up. I was in dire need of PG (oladipo and moe Williams) and for bigs I'm pretty content with AD, markieff, Olynyk and Dieng. Monta won't help a lot with assists, but I'm pretty much mailing that category in. Wanted Monta for the points and to roster another PG.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the input. I was actually torn between Lou and PJ. The thing drawing me to PJ is he averages 6-ish rebounds to Lou's 1-ish. I'm ahead in my matchup in rebounds but the guy I'm up against has AD, Drummond, and Robin Lopez so I know that lead will never be safe. Meanwhile I'm suffering cause my big men are pretty much rebounding duds. Brook Lopez is trash on the glass, Asik is injured right now, and Joakim has been solid but he really underperformed tonight. I picked up Mirotic and Rudy Gobert off the wire so hopefully they help out on the glass.

That being said, you still think I should stick with Lou?

Monta has actually dished out a good amount of assists the last two seasons since he's been in Dallas. I haven't followed up too closely on Serge's performance but I say it was a good trade for you.
 
Should I trade my Deandre Jordan for his Joakim Noah? Noah is doing pretty bad right now but he could turn it around...
I would keep Deandre. You know what you're getting from him. Rebounds and blocks, a good FG% and maybe some points. Noah isn't going to turn it around for sure. Even when Pau and Rose were out, he didn't really shine or see a major jump in his stats.

Yeah I would still stick with Lou. After the first night you are barely up in boards but with the way AD, Drummond and Rolo rebound, there weekly total will most likely take out your team for even contending in that category this week. I would rather secure one category that you could win in points than trying to guess if you can win both categories of boards and points but could also potentially losing both as well.

Thanks for the feedback, but just realized I can't sit P.J.. The roster set up won't work /)___-

None of the other guys have SF designation besides Hayward and Batum and I'm definitely playing them so that leaves the extra F spot open for P.J.

CP3 takes up the PG spot so that leaves 3 spots for the others (SG, G, and Util). 

So now, given Bledsoe, IT3, Wroten, and Lou Williams who should I play and who would you sit?

I know I'm gonna regret it so badly if I bench the wrong guy.

Thanks again for the input.

This is tough...Bledsoe/IT2/Dragic are inconsistent as hell and like to share the amount of good games that they have, so considering that any of them could blow up on any given day, I'd add both to the line up. Wroten has been decent (he did put up a solid line up last game but that was because MCW was out) and Williams is on a hot streak right now. Wroten gives you assists/steals/points while Williams gives you steals/points (with points being higher than Wroten's after seeing the last 2 games he has played). So depending on what you need, either assists or more points, it's up to you. But if it were me, I'd go with Wroten just because he's more consistent, contributes in more cats than Williams, and is pretty close to Williams points wise.

TLDR; Play Bledsoe/IT2/Wroten. Bench Williams.

Don't blame it on me though if Williams blows up again and 1 of the 3 fail to perform.

***Blockbuster trade incoming***

Need some major help on this one.

Owner wants my AD, I'd want his KD AT LEAST in return. So I told him I can offer Kyrie (PO schedule is terrible/injury prone)/AD/____ for his KD/Lillard/DJ (need someone to replace AD's blocks/boards). He likes Al Jefferson, Batum, Beal, Drummond, and Teague. 

Who can I give up to make this trade fair/a little in my favor? 

Here's my updated roster (Just traded Tobias Harris for Darren Collison):

10 Team/H2H/Standard 8 CAT/13 Roster

PG: Kyrie Irving, Jeff Teague, Jose Calderon, Darren Collison, Mario Chalmers

SG: Bradley Beal, Jamal Crawford

SF: Chandler Parsons, Nicolas Batum, Draymond Green

PF: Anthony Davis

C: Al Jefferson, Andre Drummond

Here's his roster:

Lillard, Kobe, Korver, Vucevic (I'd get him, but his PO is buttcheeks), DJ, Wroten, Sullener, MCW, Chandler, Brandon Wright, KD, Sanders, Rubio

i woud let go of batum
 
Ugh, Noah out tonight because of his left knee effusion...

This is what I get for having faith in him I guess...
 
Thinking of trading my Rajon Rondo+Jeremy Lamb (who's basically going to be cut) for Monta Ellis and Arron Afflalo. Thoughts?

I would probably take a hit on assists, but my other guards are Wade, Wroten, Russ, and also Blake will contribute some assists, along with Rondo.

The thing that I really want Monta for is his FTM, which is a category in my league. Him with Russ and Blake really help me lock up that category.

if you can do that then you should go for it asap. rondo is okay and lamb is a plain WW streamer. ellis and afflalo are worth way more
 
Ellis has been money for me this year. & Brandon Knight has been having a wonderful year statistically he gives a bit of everything... his TO's are sky high tho.
 
Cody Zeller good add in 14 team leagues. Good source of points/boards, he got the job with Marvin Williams going down, and he's been doing well, probably going to hold onto it. Worth a look 
 
Demar with a groin injury tonight. Dude could be out a few weeks.
James Johnson has always provided top 100 value even in limited minutes. I expect him and Lou to swoop up majority of DeMars PT
 
 
I have Derozan, West, Martin, Pat Beverly and Terrance Jones 

oh and Wroten too

Do I drop Wroten or Pat Bev for Mo Williams or Vasquez? 
Even though Wroten hurts you in a lot of cats, I'd rather hang onto him for insurance just in case MCW gets reinjured. Pick up Pat Bev for Mo Will easy. You having those many injured guys will definitely hurt you in the upcoming weeks. Maybe you can trade those injured players for other injured guys.. you can prob do a TJ/DeRozan/KMart for Durant straight up and gather guys from waivers to fill up your roster

No one in their right mind would even consider doing that trade. If I owned Durant, I would feel lowballed. Its not a 1 for 3 deal. I have to drop 2 of my own players to absorb those players and all 3 are injured.
 
How many fantasy teams are y'all playing this year? I got 3 so far...2 ESPN, 1 Yahoo.
