OFFICIAL 2015-2016 NBA FANTASY BASKETBALL THREAD

Russ Westbrook, Marc Gasol, Marvin Williams for Dame Lillard, Anthony Davis, Andrew Bogut.

 

H2H league.

if hes giving you anthony davis and dame then definitely do it. 

Will Barton is looking very tempting right now. I want to scoop him but I don't know who to drop for him.

hes solid but when wilson comes back, probably going to effect his playing time. maybe malone would stop starting harris and start barton though

 

[snowinsahara]

Thinking of dropping Stauskas for CJ Miles, need help in steals and i should have 3's on lock already. What do you guys think? Also have Deng and Winslow on the wire.

If you're looking for steals, grab someone like Jae Crowder. Justise is nice stash option depending on how deep your league is though.

got offered blake & wiggins for my Dipo & Towns. Im thinking i should take it but my team is built on ast stls blks but the boost in pts and slightly rbds outweigh the stls i lose from dipo and blocks from towns?

Post the rest of your squad. If your team is built on what you have, then I'd keep it. My squad in my big money league is built on FT% Boards, Steals and Points while being competitive in 3s, Assists, and Blocks. FG% and TOs are out the window cause my guys shoot too much lol.

Strat is asts stls blks (only have towns as a shot blocker but everyone chips in)

 

[billieve15]

Still waiting on Andrew Wiggins to come good (it will happen, it's just a question of when).

 

[benzilla427]

Meyers Leonard with the dislocated shoulder 

 

You guys think he should be dropped or is it worth it to hold onto him? Seems like he could be out for a while with a dislocated shoulder. It looked like he was trending up too...

 

[gqbomber]

should i drop smart for collison?

lol do it without second though you are propably only losing some steals and maybe a little fg % , all the other categories will  get boosted

See what his diagnosis is today. I have IR spot in my league so I put him there and grabbed Cory Joseph.

I'd do it, but Collison is hurt right now and that hammy could bother him the whole year. I'd rather have him than smart the rest of the year though since the kings 2 guard rotation is buns.

Would rather keep Towns and Dipo. Towns is the real deal and since he's your only shot blocker, trading him away for 2 guys who don't block at all means you're punting that category for just a boost in points and rebounds that you can find on the waiver easy. Also now that Meyers Leonard could be out for a significant time, I'd look for someone on the wire who is a shot block specialist to pair with towns to boost that category.

No IR spot. I jumped the gun and dropped him for Clint Capela. Hoping for the best lol

A guy in my league hates that he drafted Rudy Gobert in the 2nd round.  I want to trade him Demarcus Cousins and Kenneth Faried for Chris Paul and Rudy Gobert.  Here is my team:

My FG% and TOs have been terrible though.

 

[ironmike]

No idea why I keep pulling for JR Smith and waiting for him to have a good game... Thinking of dropping him and Dieng for Scola and Lamb? Also, I got offered Lawson for Middleton. Thoughts?

 

[AgentZero]

Is now the time to sell high on Marcus Thornton? He's set to receive less minutes since Terrence Jones should slowly start to reduce his minutes, but do you guys think he's cemented himself as a solid part of the rotation regardless?

i think he's played well enough to earn solid minutes. he's mainly a 2 guard. I wouldn't think that means he'd get that much of a cut in minutes with TJ back. He'd mainly playing behind Harden right?

 

[nike4kja05]

@Big Van Vader

I don't think he'll give up chris paul without getting a PG in return. I'd try Bledsoe/Faried for Gobert/CP3 and if you are worried about FG%, swing Boogie for someone like Kawhi Leonard or Lebron maybe.

You'll stil have Favors, Millsap and Draymond holding you down as Bigs and if you get Gobert in that trade.

I'd ride the wave with him. As more teams shift to small ball, the lineup McHale has been rocking with has been pretty good. That is not the case for every team in the league but its definitely trending upward. If you can get someone like Korver or Danny Green from an owner for lil buckets, I'd do that right away.

You'd think, but from what I've read it seems that TJ's return has a direct impact on the minutes Thornton receives. It's likely due to the small-ball lineup McHale was running in TJ's absence as @nike4KJA05  mentioned.

Since it's for a fantasy points league and I'm already loaded at SG I'm trying to add to my PG depth. I'm targeting guys like Mudiay, Collison, Burke, Jack, and Payton and will trade with whoever offers the highest price. I think those players are of similar caliber as Thornton and I'll test the waters.

I'd definitely go after Mudiay or Collison. When DC is back he should be hitting 28-32 minutes a game and Mudiay will only get better as the season goes on. He'll hit that rookie wall like everyone but he's got the keys to run that offense.

It's a coincidence you chose them two because they're both owned by one guy. That should probably make it easier for trading since I can probably score whoever he values less. Thanks for the advice.
