If anyone here sees this in the next 15 mins. In a dynasty league, and I have 4th pick. From the following list what would your 1-4 be IF you're punting Free Throws? I got Drummond/Jordon so rip FT so playing around it.

LaMarcus Aldridge (FC, SA)
Marc Gasol (C, MEM)
Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN)
Trevor Ariza (GF, HOU)
Kemba Walker (PG, CHA)
Al Jefferson (FC, CHA)
Tim Duncan (FC, SA)
Nicolas Batum (GF, CHA)
Reggie Jackson (G, DET)
Nikola Mirotic (F, CHI)

thx. the player order i have is the order i have. I really want KAT.

[ReignOnU]

After the top 3, it's a bit of a mess. I think Batum has a really nice bounce back season and he 'could' establish himself as a 16-18ppg guy that adds stats all over the place. Guys like Green, Young, Korver... even Ariza, are aging and could be just as easily replaced by waiver pickups, as they could be good players. Each of their peaks is rather low. Batum offers a similar baseline, but his ceiling, at least for now, is significantly higher.

i have 4th, 8th and 14th pick cause of selling last yr. Got KAT at #4 and Batum at #8.

Excellent... should be a fun league for you.

team so far

[DRiccio21]

i would have kept Reggie Jackson for sure.

especially if its keeper

if you really think its keeper, i think Mirotic and Jackson are both realistically higher value than a bunch of those guys. Aldridge value isn't nearly as good in SA or in a FT Punt lineup

[nick]

i shoulda posted earlier. i like my team so far though with 2 picks left.

[nick]

if youre around of these names whos top 4?

Matt Barnes (SF, MEM)
Courtney Lee (GF, MEM)
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DET)
Avery Bradley (G, BOS)
Louis Williams (G, LAL)
Jamal Crawford (GF, LAC)
Jared Sullinger (FC, BOS)
Jeff Green (GF, MEM)
Patrick Patterson (FC, TOR)
Patrick Beverley (G, HOU)
Harrison Barnes (F, GS)
Ben McLemore (SG, SAC)
Marcus Morris (F, DET)
Trey Burke (PG, UTAH)
Marcus Smart (PG, BOS)
Corey Brewer (GF, HOU)
Jared Dudley (GF, WSH)
Dion Waiters (GF, OKC)
Darren Collison (PG, SAC)
Marvin Williams (F, CHA)
Tony Allen (GF, MEM)
Jusuf Nurkic (C, DEN)
Hollis Thompson (GF, PHI)
Myles Turner (C, IND)

official team. opinions? 14 team league.

[DRiccio21]

Nurkic is really good, no reason he should be available

[ReignOnU]

Wasn't around... would have said Burke, Nurkic, and M. Turner.

helppppppppppppp

i joined a keeper league. 12 team, 9 cat format. my 4 keepers are

CP3 - Kyrie - Goran - Barnes

i have no 2nd. Im not super knowledgeable about basketball. I feel like my team isnt good enough to compete this yr right now. My buddy is going all in. He wants CP3. He offered

Wiggins + 9th overall + 20th overall

for

CP3 + 30th overall + 54th overall


what u guys think?

[DRiccio21]

no

[wdoupis]

Big no. Wiggins name is bigger than production, especially fantasy wise. As of now all he gives is points and not very efficiently

I think there needs to be an estimate of who is there at #9.

CP3 is roughly 10-15 ranked overall. Would need to know the other keepers and where he would slot in if he were in the draft.

9th for CP3 could be a push.
Wiggins for 30th is roughly a push, maybe a slight advantage to the team receiving Wiggins because of his young age and potential to develop.
20th for 54th is a massive upgrade.

If you really break it down, that's even, minor win, big win... overall a win to take the deal. Depending on format it also likely helps you because you're sitting on Kyrie and Goran.

[DRiccio21]

its a 4 person keeper and you think 9 for CP3 could be a push?

sayyyyy whaaa

[nick]

ya i didnt do the trade and drafted Fultz 1st round. who needs bigs when u got CP3-Kyrie-Goran and Fultz

also found out that minus 5 PPG, and about 10% FT%, Goran and Kyrie Irving have eerily similar numbers.

sayyyyy whaaa

Certainly. Depends on the rules. Our football league for instance is a 3 person keeper. It could be 4 and it wouldn't make a difference on the 1st round, because the rules restrict keeping 1st/2nd round picks consecutively.
