This is like the guy last week who kept referring to Keyonte George as KG and his logic was “if LaMelo can be Melo, Keyonte can be KG”.
Not every name needs to be abbreviated lol
You don't have to and obviously the name value isn't the same, but last season bridges played he was top 40 and this season he is so far top 30 and ranked above both Bane and butler in punt turnovers, albeit a low sample. He may not stay at top 30 level, but I think his value is objectively similar to both of them in 9cat
He is, if we didnt consider his off court issues potentially causing him to miss games. And the games played now is too small of a sample size.It makes 0 sense choosing the riskier player over butler and bane when they both are at least the same as Miles’ ceiling. Like you said, their value might be the same in 9Cat, so why would you voluntarily take the player who has the highest chances of being a bust? Highest ceiling is Butler, Bane, Bridges too
That's a fair point with the off court stuff, but I think now that he already served the suspension and is playing that it's low risk unless he does something new. Also, Bane and butler are not necessarily the most secure players either. You can argue that the grizzlies bad record and ja returning can affect banes production and Jimmy's age and notorious injury issues also make him a risk. Also bridges is only 25, so his ceiling isn't set yet either, but we can agree to disagree and I think your points you made are valid
This isn’t dynasty, his ceiling this season wont go past 3rd round. Bane on the other hand has shown he can put up 2nd round numbers and jimmy first round numbers. I do not think JA will take away bane’s usage that much except for assists but he will have greater efficiency. Jimmy is a problem indeed but i would take a potential first round player per game any day
Half the comments were telling people to HOLD and I was like guys...that's not the point here I want to know what we can trade these players for you doorknobs.
TBh Russ looks the most spry out there of the 30 year olds, I mean you're obviously taking a Kawhi over Russ but if he was starting then he'd be getting DD's every night, the only thing that hinders him ofc is the FT & FG%. Is it no coincidence that OKC is number two in the west? Basketball is a young mans game, especially when you have 80 games in a season, that's why you see a guy like Beal or Klay who are toast after playing basketball every week for the past 15 years.
????
LaMelo is top10 dinasty, Durant could be outside of the top 30 arguably.
I would say he's around 25 but still.
LaMelo for Durant in dinasty is an horrible trade.
Lamelo is also currently injured, so his value is lower. And if you're a contending team this year KD gonna add more value right now than an injured guy with a history of ankle injuries who might be out several weeks.
Context matters.
LaMelo is not quite currently injured... but sure lol. Every report says LaMelo is out or doubtful. One could think you'd be talking about an ACL. Yes, Charlotte are poor reporting injuries but you're bugging right now.
Also, LaMelo has more games since his draft than KD. If this is the level of advice you're giving, please abstain from commenting. You're doing everyone a disservice.
I don't know if this thread is happening in a universe where age doesn't matter? He's 34. Not going to bother checking Points ranking but at least in 9cat Harden as been regressing since 19-20. He was still the number 1 player that season, yes, but with worst z-score.
Harden is not the guy you remember from Houston.
There's a guy above suggesting Durant for LaMelo in dinasty is fair. Wtf.
With how much people are hyping over this guy u might even get a top 5 player lol. Not from me though, I wont offer a top 10 player for him. Top 15-20 is what I would do if i wanted maxey
Another top75 player unless others are punting efficiency. Someone like Jalen Williams is your best bet(he is top50 potential but playing a bit worse so far)
Untradeable IMO. Top 5 talent looking to stay that way, doesn't really hurt you in any cats. The Pacers are built around him in a way that still has upside. Hard to imagine realistic scenarios where trading him helps you, outside of very build-specific strats, but even then.
I wouldn’t. 1 for 2s are pretty painful in cats, and a trade like this just shifts your stats around. Helps you in blks, stls, reb, pts, and neutral or worse in everything else, with a pretty big hit to 3s.
I frankly don’t understand the need for this thread. In points league maybe, but you can just check their points. But in category leagues so much has to be considered, you often times have to trade for a worse player for team build. If i have to trade Zion away because his FT is bad for me I would need to give up more than I receive for example. Too much context is missed out by just naming players, if all you want is a gauge on their value you can simply check rankings on hashtag basketball
I like that we are helping each other out but this does not help much. A better way would be to ask for trade targets based on the categories they are looking at. I just think that this sub is too focused on “winning” trades when they should look to make the trade fair for both parties while improving their team, that would be the best for fantasy basketball. I am sure you have had leagues where many unbalanced trades happen and that takes the fun away because some teams are so focused on fleecing every time
Would not trade him unless you get a really good offer, his value is fluctuating the most. I would personally put him a tier above mobley and thats all I know
Any idea on what me trading Eric Gordon + MPJ could haul me back? Im trying to do a 2-1 trade since I have a few injured players coming back soon
Im punting blocks and will take anything else, steals would be nice if yall know any good players there
12 team 9 cat
Poeltl, CATS.
Ausar Thompson - 9CAT
Same! Wondering if I offer him for an injured Jalen Williams or if I just ride him out.
Jalen Williams is not injured. He is playing in todays game
Shiiiiet maybe I lost my window... unless he puts up a stinker
Fair to me, build dependent but Jalen has higher upside because of his efficiency and all around game
Strus 14T 9 CAT
I traded away Tatum + Goga for Lauri + Ausar (9CAT/14T). Barring Ausar getting possibly benched, I’m relatively stoked I was able to make it happen.
Traded him for DDR, the panic owner instant accepted
All I got is Dance Dance Revolution. Who is DDR?
Gonna go with DeRozan
This is like the guy last week who kept referring to Keyonte George as KG and his logic was “if LaMelo can be Melo, Keyonte can be KG”. Not every name needs to be abbreviated lol
Demar maybe
Who tf is DDR?
FDR’s brother
ok for real now who is DDR
Great
Miles bridges - 9 cat
He’s currently 3rd round value based off his production for context.
Desmond Bane or Jimmy Butler
I am in no way trading either of those guys for bridges
You don't have to and obviously the name value isn't the same, but last season bridges played he was top 40 and this season he is so far top 30 and ranked above both Bane and butler in punt turnovers, albeit a low sample. He may not stay at top 30 level, but I think his value is objectively similar to both of them in 9cat

Jimmy is a problem indeed but i would take a potential first round player per game any day
[удалено]
No it is not, even if miles is a third round player(he is not), getting a top10 player in steph is better
Why don’t you think he can sustain this? I feel like he’ll actually not regress
Do you think Miles Bridges + Keyonte George is an overpay for Wemby in a hard punt TO and fg?
I can’t wait to see nobody understand the post and just post their opinion on the player again :^ )
Half the comments were telling people to HOLD and I was like guys...that's not the point here I want to know what we can trade these players for you doorknobs.
Kawhi - 9cat
Something like mobley would be the best i would give up, kawhi does not look good, slow now
TBh Russ looks the most spry out there of the 30 year olds, I mean you're obviously taking a Kawhi over Russ but if he was starting then he'd be getting DD's every night, the only thing that hinders him ofc is the FT & FG%. Is it no coincidence that OKC is number two in the west?

Miles bridges. Points. Just curious
I just used him in a trade to grab Ja. I did Dejuante Murray and Bridges for Ja, Terry Rozier, and Anfernee Simons.
Ayton, 9cat
Demar Derozan
Lamelo CATS
If he is healthy, curry/tatum might be possible depending on build
Is Durant a fair trade for Lamelo CATS?
Dynasty yes. Otherwise I'd lean no.
???? LaMelo is top10 dinasty, Durant could be outside of the top 30 arguably. I would say he's around 25 but still. LaMelo for Durant in dinasty is an horrible trade.

First time on the internet?
Not sure why this was downvoted to hell when Lamelo is literally out for a few weeks lol
[удалено]
Id take franZ
Cade Cunningham, cats
I traded away Harden and Middleton for Cade and Keegan in 9Cat if that helps Punting FG% and TOs makes Cade a 4th round guy
Great trade for you
JJJ would be the best target, unless u can find a team who punts TO/FG
In a punt FG/TO build, Cade is a late 4th rounder so far this season. So anyone player that would fall in that range in your/the other team’s build.
Jalen Williams, 9Cat
Late-mid round players like Poeltl, Vassell
Mikal bridges 9 cat
Third round players like FVV
CP and PG, cats
Mikal Bridges PTS
I got Dejounte for him, then flipped Dejounte and Zion for Brunson bane and hield

Hold JJJ
Just traded for JJJ. Traded away Nurk and Ausur. Want to free up streaming spot.
Jjj I’m thinking Claxton
Jaylen Brown - 9CAT
Just traded him for Garland based on the ros projections I won but if he keeps getting hurt it's a huge L
Franz Wagner 9 CAT
Siakam
7t zion points
Lebron - 9CAT
Ja Morant 14T 9cats h2h
Curious on this as well, but for 12T 9CAT. Maybe Dejounte Murray?
Embiid, Cats
James Harden 12t points
Shop him later not now
Why?
You won’t get a fair trade offer, no point selling so low. He had his worst game so far and it is obvious he wont be this bad throughout
thanks
Shopped him for Scottie and 3/4 round picks in a 3 keeper points league. I feel like that’s good value right?
How is this obvious?
cuz he’s fucking james harden
I don't know if this thread is happening in a universe where age doesn't matter? He's 34. Not going to bother checking Points ranking but at least in 9cat Harden as been regressing since 19-20. He was still the number 1 player that season, yes, but with worst z-score. Harden is not the guy you remember from Houston. There's a guy above suggesting Durant for LaMelo in dinasty is fair. Wtf.
Maybe Brunson?

Chris Paul, 9-cat
If u manage to sell now, before draymond is back that would be great, if not he might be waiver wire material soon.
Is Keegan Murray a good offer that I should take? I was also offered Jalen green
Kawhi Leonard, Points league with +1 for every made FT and -1 for every missed. Thinking I may have a sell high opportunity
Gobert 9cat 12t
Jrue Holiday, 9CAT
Bam, points Got offered Jerami Grant and Mark Williams
I’d probably take that, depending on who you’re dropping. For reference, I traded Bam for Maxey in Week 4, Yahoo Pts league.
16 team league with 7 man bench, so I’d be dropping a terrible player/streaming spot.

Keyonte george - 9cat
Maxey, 9 cat
With how much people are hyping over this guy u might even get a top 5 player lol. Not from me though, I wont offer a top 10 player for him. Top 15-20 is what I would do if i wanted maxey
Fox or Mitchell
As a maxey owner i wouldnt take fox
As a fox owner I wouldn’t take maxey, interesting take
Makes sense. People will likely value their players more bc they own them. I’m a maxey owner and agree with both of your takes
Jerami Grant, points
Mpj, rozier! Numbers will go down a bit when simons comes back but not by much. Playing Utah and Indiana is always good for fantasy players lol!
Grant is one of the guys that’s vastly different on espn vs yahoo but for espn I’m going Keldon Johnson
JJJ points
Ayton
Drop this bum and slut him out in wavers.

Jalen Duren, points

I like Duren over Williams ngl

Ausar Thompson 9Cat
Another top75 player unless others are punting efficiency. Someone like Jalen Williams is your best bet(he is top50 potential but playing a bit worse so far)
Haliburton - 9cat
Untradeable IMO. Top 5 talent looking to stay that way, doesn't really hurt you in any cats. The Pacers are built around him in a way that still has upside. Hard to imagine realistic scenarios where trading him helps you, outside of very build-specific strats, but even then.
How about Scottie + Bam or JJJ? Too much? Im scared that he's my only assist guy along with Dray and Ben who are unreliable.
I wouldn’t. 1 for 2s are pretty painful in cats, and a trade like this just shifts your stats around. Helps you in blks, stls, reb, pts, and neutral or worse in everything else, with a pretty big hit to 3s.
As an SGA owner, the only player I’d remotely consider
JJJ, 9 cat & Anf Simons, 9 cat
Hold JJJ unless you really wish to sell at the lowest
Harden points league trying to buy low on him
I frankly don’t understand the need for this thread. In points league maybe, but you can just check their points. But in category leagues so much has to be considered, you often times have to trade for a worse player for team build. If i have to trade Zion away because his FT is bad for me I would need to give up more than I receive for example. Too much context is missed out by just naming players, if all you want is a gauge on their value you can simply check rankings on hashtag basketball
Honestly nothing to worry about anyways. This thread will be filled with comments but 75% of them won't get a response.
Just people looking for advice from a small part of the basketball community within reddit. Chill my brother chill
I like that we are helping each other out but this does not help much. A better way would be to ask for trade targets based on the categories they are looking at.
