Early Bird gets the worm, missed out on Randle. Who wants to offer me something for DeRozan?

Jk. If you could maybe leave some guys on the bench this weekend so I don't get 10-2ed again that'd be great. 

And holy shit the avaliable players right now is a ghostland. Glad we didn't go to 5 IR. 

[BallamaticBevo 56]

I almost shit my pants when Rex 12-0 skunked derks last week. I don't think I've ever seen Derka get blanked. Some crazy weeks with the Vid stormin

I saw that and I was like... wtf? Did Derka die and not set his lineups?

The vid on top of my injuries this year is just fucking me up the ass. I've now lost Sexton and Rubio both for the season and D Rose is out for like 2 months. And my team was kind of built on guard play and around hard punting FG% and turnovers. Now I'm just a mish mash of rotation scrubs without an identity. I'm gonna need Randle to average like 30/10/5 down the stretch. 

[ztejas 43418]

So Bradley Beal gets upgraded from out to playing tonight at fucking 4:25 pm and now he's sitting in my IR having one of his best games of the season. 

God this shit is maddening.

God this shit is maddening.

One of the reasons that I had to get out! Happens too often with guys in and out.

Hahaha I was going to give you shit for trading me Randle right before he hit health and safety but figured what's the point. I guess the universal karma balanced itself. 

What a doozy this year has been. 

[ztejas 43418]

Please tell me I'm not the only one leaving multiple games on the IR because guys go from out to playing the day of if not right before games start. 

Jesus fuck I'm so over this fucking season. I don't have time to check my fucking fantasy team every hour every day of the week.

Rant over. (not really)

Literally in a week's time I've left these games on IR:

Beal - 29/10 dimes/6/1

Randle - 30/16 boards/4/1

Both on great shooting. Both times I had set my lineup the day of. The Beal game I had checked it that afternoon. 

I'm losing it - guys.

[shadow_operative 15932]

yeah i had Garland on the IR with 27 pts, 10 ast, 4 reb tonight. very annoying. 

[ztejas 43418]

I figured/knew it wasn't just me. Mainly irritated because my team blows and I can't afford shit like that. Also because I make a trade then miss the dude I traded for's first game back. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

oh yeah, i also had Nurkic go for 21 pts, 12 reb, and 5 ast on the IR for me as well. and i'm currently losing assists by 17, so an extra 15 of them would have been nice.

[Radical Larry 28582]

I'll accept that trade in the morning. I have to drop a player, and the rosters are locked.

[Timbo52 1]

Anyone want a shot at Jamal Murray in the 11th or Kawii Leonard in the 9th next year?!? Both our for sale. Looking for an impact player more than a package to put me in position to make a run at the Championship.

what an odd way to describe a guy going for 24/21/3:

thanks for chipping in, Christian.

ok now they're just trolling me:

i sure hope i can get more my of guys to chip in like this from time to time.

[RexWilson 1346]

Is our league trade deadline the same as the NBA?

KD can be kept next year for a 3rd round pick. He is out until after the all star break. If there is a team not going to make the playoffs or has shit keeper options, I'd move him for a non eligible keeper player. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

it is absolutely retarded that i can't insert Sabonis into the lineup tonight. it was just announced that he's probable for tonight, so i activate him, and yet i can't play him until tomorrow, even though none of my teams games has started yet. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

oh no worries, Sabonis only went for 24 pts, 18 rebounds, 10 ast, 2 stl, and 2 blk. that won't affect the box score at all.

Yeah this year has been such a bitch when it comes to vacillating injury statuses. That rule never fails to piss me off a couple times when I'm trying to make a couple changes at like 12:09 on a Sunday and a game has already tipped so all of your add/drops get pushed to Monday. 

@RexWilson would you still be interested in shipping KD? 

[RexWilson 1346]

@ztejas I traded KD to @BallamaticBevo

@shadow_operative hey you left JoVal on your IR. 

Doesn't your team have 2 managers? 

[shadow_operative 15932]

lol, man have i made some bad trades this year. i'm looking back at a few of them, and, yeah; you guys are welcome, lol. 

[ztejas 43418]

@shadow_operative fun week. I needed you to have a bad outing just to hang on (to the tie). Held on in Drebs and you got me in FTs. (Oh fuck me I've been had. Stats weren't fully compiled I guess)

PLAYOFF DREAMS: STILL ALIVE. WE GOIN 83 NC STATE IN THIS BIH

my shitass team won a week!!

[shadow_operative 15932]

what the hell is up with the NBA schedule? this will be the third week this year where i just can't compete from a number standpoint. 

my monday lineup:

my opponent's monday lineup:

 

 

the result:

 

today i have one more player than my opponent. that's it for the entire week. every other day this week my opponent either has an equal number or more players than I do. never before this year have i experienced this where i go into a week just going, "welp, nothing i can do to avoid this ass kicking." very frustrating.

[shadow_operative 15932]

also, how tf does Dosunmu play 33 minutes and get 0 assists?!? TF is that about dude?!

[ztejas 43418]

It's weird. Today I have more guys playing than slots available. I guess some of the postponed games are starting to creep in? 

[BallamaticBevo 56]

 

The Ben Simmons Lottery Game. I'm dead set on trading this Lamar Odomesque POS today before the deadline. Let's roll the dice fellas and take a gamble. Send me your best and final offers for your chance at the BS Loto. Does he play this year or is he just a great keeper option for next year? We'll find out! 

[BigOrange1 6436]

meh, i thought about playing around with it because my team is toast but BS would cost a 3rd rounder next year.  not sure i'd consider that a great keeper option.

Guess I’m the big winner! Well maybe not with this clowndick

[shadow_operative 15932]

whole lotta fantasy implications with today's  NBA trades. gonna be very interesting to see how it affects the playoff race/playoffs.

He's 100% playing. Guessing he comes back shortly after the ASB.

Randle is crushing it. He's going to be awesome on the bench for me when everyone else is in the playoffs.

@shadow_operative

one of several shitty trades i've made this year. i was trading you Randle as a keeper, ipso facto im supposed to trade him for an absolute haul, not straight up for a guy who is slightly below him. still, that's nothing compared to what i gave larry. whenever i send out 15 offers and nobody responds or counters, i eventually get drunk one night and send out a bunch of offers that i know someone will take. the offer i have larry was pretty much indefensible. i blame all of you trade prudes who refuse to respond or counter. 

with that being said, let make another trade! surely i have another keeper i can give you for someone who can help me salvage this season. Garland, Nurkic, Sabonis, D Mitchell, and Barton are all good - great keepers. holler at your boy.

I thought Randle for JoVal was very 50/50 as I assumed Randle would pick it up from then on out. I had no intentions of keeping him but it could have swung either way.

At least you're in contention. I'm 0/2 in this league. Granted Ant as a 10th round pick next year is going to be nice.

the trade is 50/50 plauer for plauer, except that Randle is a keeper, and JoVal isn't. i'm gonna keep Garland (as it stands) in round 7 over JoVal in the 3rd. Randle in the 5th is a great keeper.

I get Randle in the 4th if I want him. That's very touch and go. We'll see.

Randle is a 5th round keeper. if you get pick 10 then you get to take him at pick 50. that's a steal. he's a top 25-30 pick otherwise.

You're right. Did the math wrong. 

[Baboontyme 2810]

I have not been engaged in any trades and I usually see them after the person has already pulled them back. I apologize. I like my team but have been waiting for everyone to get healthy and I think I will finally have that coming out of the AS break so I haven't tried to break things up. 

[ztejas 43418]

What is rule for UDFA keepers? 

Whatever it is - shopping Josh Giddey for another keeper. My team isn't doing shit in the playoffs. Willing to sell decent parts for an upgrade keeper or just straight up swap. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

it was either 9th or 10th round UDFA keepers. 

[ztejas 43418]

This season has been absolute dick. Yesterday RJ is listed out. Today he drops a fucking career high. 

Nice.

Me vs you round 1. Based off the # of drop/adds allowed (14) I guess 2 weeks.

In the past years, non playoff teams were no longer allowed to drop/add. We sticking with that?

you're risk free, right? you and another team have a first round bye. i think @BigOrange1 has to manually set up the playoff rounds. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

need to get the matchups set up in the next two hours or so.
