24-25 Fantasy League (seeking additional members)

I'm in 2 leagues and both of my teams are getting slammed with injuries. I think my other leagues team is a real winner though, once they get healthy. I was picking 7th in a 10 team Roto league, and I can't believe how it worked out for me. This roster is deep.

Some guy just offered me Herro and Brook Lopez for Jarrett Allen, which seems not too bad given Allen's potential for injury every year...

jimmy butler, kevin durant, and chet holmgren aren’t important players, right?

Yeah, you got it rough. Now Chet is gonna eat up and IR spot for you the rest of the season if you don't drop him. I got a few injuries too, but not as bad as you. 

I'm feeling pretty good about my team now. I just gotta remember to check my lineup more often. I missed starting some key guys that first week and it killed my numbers. Also have to stream a few guys each week to keep up with the little bits of extra stats here and there.

I know the feeling, Derka, and I am remembering why I hate fantasy NBA. I have a good number of guys that make no sense to drop, especially with the trash in the FA pool. I need about four more IR spots to make a difference, so eating losses is just going to happen.

Soooooo, I had Wemby and Norman Powell on my IR because I was waiting to hear if they would play tonight. I activated both, put Murray on IR, but I can't play either of them today because it won't take effect until tomorrow.  How exactly does this work?  When is the cutoff for roster moves? 

None of their games have started, I thought I would have up until tipoff to make the decision, since it's often late notice whether or not guys are playing. I know in Fantasy Football, you can make roster changes right up until 5 minutes before game time. I'm surprised that isn't the case in the NBA version.

This NBA cup thing really screws up these 2 weeks of play with the games being limited. I picked up a Bucks guy for the championship today, but I see now that game doesn't count for fantasy purposes for some reason. Live and learn. 

League update: we are nearly at the halfway point through the season now. You play everyone twice before the playoffs, and right now it looks like Derka and I are on a collision course for the championship. If I hadn't fumbled my first week against him, I would probably be in the lead right now. However, the top 4 teams make the playoffs and play each other for 2 weeks, so anything can happen. Almost everyone can still make a top 4 seed with some luck and a bit of work.
