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...

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.

without looking- tell me how many steals dyson daniels has in his last three games.

let’s update this to cover his last four games. how does 25 steals grab you?

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.

@Derka so what's the reasoning behind this trade? Rick James is in 9th place and has nearly zero chance of making the playoffs. He isn't even getting a good keeper here like he did in your first trade when you sent him Chet.

“i made this trade because lebron is averaging 55 games per year over the last 7 years and he’s already at 33 games played. it’s a 100% gamble on lebron’s health. i did the same thing in baseball this year when i traded away aaron judge- did NOT go well, lol. we’ll see how this one turns out.”

Is he really still banned? I thought he was allowed back. 

I'm sick of everyone on my team being hurt and sitting out. Impossible to get any momentum. 

Derka I will not be trading you Jalen Duren because I am enjoying watching the Pistons. If someone wants to trade me Cade let me know.

ok, i’m back. as has been mentioned here, i made this trade trying to roll the dice on lebron’s health. so far,  it so good. i also did not realize that nurkic had become persona non grata in phoenix. i knew he’d been suspended, i had no idea that they had froze him out and traded for his replacement. he hasn’t played a single game for me yet. swing and a miss for me so far.

also if anyone wants shaedon sharpe i will trade him for almost nothing, as i never win scoring and thus don’t need his services. i’m currently in the market for blocks.

Hey a couple of you guys have offered me trades and I don't really respond, my apologies. I'm not giving up on the year yet. My team has had a ton of injuries and I also have been extremely bad about setting my lineup to this point. Aside from that I don't really know how to value players and I've been slammed with a bunch of real life bullshit. I'm going to hold tight for now and hope I can make a run.

jesus titty fucking christ, i just now found out that jalen johnson is out for the season. apparently this was announced more than a week ago, but the espn fantasy app never gave me that update. i’ve been over here wondering when in going to get my 19 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast, and 2.5 sticks per game back, and it turns out the answer is ‘never’. son of a bitch.

@Dutchrudder I went to add Buzelis tonight. 😐🙄🤬

This is the time of year when the rooks start showing out. Risacher has been flashing some serious potential, as well. 

Yeah, there are some promising young guys that will get some more playing time now. With Lavine out of the way, I expect Buzelis to get a lot more playing time and stats. Risarcher should get more time with Hunter being sent to Cleveland. 

My main concern for my team is that Valanciunas got sent to Sac in a trade, and he will be fighting with Sabonis for rebounds the rest of the year, which hurts me in that category and DDs. Gonna be tough to replace that production at this point in the season.

reminder: 

•six teams make the playoffs

•seeds 1 and 2 get a bye week

•round one is one week 

•we then re-seed, so the 1 seed plays the lowest remaining seed

•the semifinals and finals are two week matchups
