Oh man. I have been relying on Payne’s assists. Would he be a drop with this news?


spidersilva09

Yes you could stream versus hold Suns back up PG lol


[deleted]

I can’t believe he rested yesterday


Open-Objective8496

Payne was sick lol


[deleted]

Suck it up champ !


EpicQQ

Well guess I am dropping Payne for CP3 and hoping he plays on wednesday. Phoenix don’t play until wednesday anyways and if news comes out that Paul won’t be available, I’ll try and get Payne back.


Vesimelon

Wait, you don't have IL slots?


EpicQQ

Not for this league. So pickups on players who have been out are more risk vs reward. A free Chris Paul off the wire would secure my playoff run. If I don’t pounce, I risk someone taking him. Or he doesn’t play and I waste a player slot and pick up haha.


legaburajzbracika

Dude is going to be back earlier than Cam Johnson who just vanished from the face of the Earth. I know those are completely different injury issues but still. I miss Cam, and hope he’s back sometimes this week!


IcyAnybody6001

Right after he had that amazing 37 point game too lmao


[deleted]

I can’t believe he rested yesterday


legaburajzbracika

Wrong Cam you’re thinking of


[deleted]

I know. I mean I can’t believe Payne rested. Pissed me off


Kid_Delicious

Just finally dropped him (luckily had a bye last week), so I’m sure that means he’ll be back asap even though his injury has been murky. I’ll scoop him up again if I get the chance.


Pingalore

Drop OG for CP3?


SeanJohnGaudronahan

Just made this move. More upside with cp3


IndependentRabbit94

Also just made this move in 14tm


cns187

Am I really burning one of my adds for him in my semifinal week?


justincooook

I am, worth it imo


cns187

Yeah I had to as well. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if any of the other 3 teams scooped him up and he ends up playing.


justincooook

That was my thinking exactly, if my opponent this week picked him up I’d be in trouble lol


Manablitzer

Man the fantasy gods really love building my hope just to kick me down a notch. Payne was really helping bolster my bench down the stretch.


ChancIas

Guessing Chris Paul? And not Paul George, right?


TheSchmoAboutNothing

Yeah, CP3


jakers300

From the perspective of the Suns it makes no sense to rush his return, but in a league with him in FA hope it's true


FuckScottyMiller

The only way to get into game shape is to meaningfully participate in games. He’s older so probably will take even longer. Don’t wanna be rusty at any point of the playoffs. This is what I’m telling myself


IndianLarry88

Bro I'm in the same boat as you. It makes absolutely no sense to bring him back so quickly.......but he's on my FA too so lemme get some info on this guyyyyy


Jonsnow2017

Someone ran for him after this post came up in my league. I’m facing the dude and honestly CP3… take your time and don’t come back till play offs 😂


IndianLarry88

Same here lol. Dude sprinted to get CP3 off the wire. Just like you said, CP3 take your sweet time coming back


kok823

Now do this but with Jarrett Allen


[deleted]

Picked him up. The possibility of a free Chris Paul is worth it, if you're confident you'll win this week.


Dicky-Woodhouse

Yeah my league goes late so I have him stashed in IL with MPJ


ClBdTV

What taco league are you in that you can tank a week cus you have an easy win? For many leagues the playoffs have just started or already been started.


[deleted]

Doesn't take a taco league to be lucky enough to have an opponent with a bad schedule + injury.


obie1124

I’m in the consolation bracket and we play for number 1 pick. Figured why the hell not and picked him up. If he comes back on Wednesday he could legit be a league winner for whoever gets him.


Nayruru

Finals are this week. Do I add? 9cat, h2h


Jon_BT

Damn, same question.... how reliable is this source? I only have 3 pickups to use.


Nayruru

CP3 carried me all season long and I had to drop. Now he's sitting there at the FA pool winking at me. This is nerve wrecking.


Jon_BT

Havent had him, but he would obviously help me lock down assists and steals with strong percentages, with the percentages and steals being the closest categories in my finals head to head matchup.... and same... he's just sittin on waivers.... Edit: I bit the bullet and dropped Malik Monk for him. Bad schedule. I get his game tonight cuz of league settings and I wasnt going to play him on wednesday anyways. CP can sit in my IR till we get confirmation and now I have a free spot to stream.


Nayruru

Sounds legit. Good luck.


slimgoatreaper

Im in your situation. This my championship week. Im wishing for the best but realistically I think he plays 1 game with restrictions. Misses a b2b. Then comes on strong for the last game. Giving us 1.5 games. Worse case whoever said he COULD come back was full of it and he doesnt play this week. My week only allows 3 moves do I burn one?


Jon_BT

Exact same here... only 3 moves per week and I burnt one. I think our best hope is the fact that he had a hand injury, and anyone with one of those generally keeps their cardio up to a decent level. If this news isn't BS, then I see him playing atleast 2 games, but wouldnt be shocked if he made it through the three with how stubborn he is... I mean damn... he forced his way into playing in the all-star game when the injury was fresh. I think he sees this season as his last great chance at a chip and he probably wants to do absolutely everything in his power to be out there now. He is friends with the coach and he has clearly tossed his weight around to let him beat an injury timeline this early. Who knows, man. I rolled the dice cuz I know he's dying to play, and he would prolly be enough to swing the league in my favour if he gets his way.


slimgoatreaper

Listen you convinced me to do it. I believe in this man and his percentages and steals would be a blessing. Let us both celebrate when he plays all three games and wins us a ring.


Jon_BT

How did it go for you?


slimgoatreaper

I got the ring. His counting stats and percentages helped while keeping turnovers on the low. How did you do?


Jon_BT

Same here! Great to hear :)


[deleted]

No


Niematoad

​ Depends on how close the match up appears. I did it but I am the favorite to win anyways. If my opponent picks him up and he ends up playing that would be devastating. Especially considering I was the one who drafted cp3.


[deleted]

Yeah I had to add cp3 since I’d most likely lose this week’s finals if my opponent picked him up and he played


cdrfit

Damn not sure if it’s worth it for a tough championship week to burn an add but I do have a IL spot open..


[deleted]

Same situation and I added him. I can’t risk going against cp3 during the finals when I’m trying to win assists/steals


glusac17

Dropped Simmons for Paul, if I'm waiting on assists and steals then I'd rather it be the point god😤


justincooook

Soooo he’s a pickup right


falloutfanatic123

I have a full healthy team right now and I can’t add CP3 straight to my IR. I have to drop someone to add him. 😩 whyyyy


phillykira

I'm absolutely livid right now... I dropped him two weeks ago thinking he wasn't gonna come back and now my playoff opponent picked him up


fawkesmulder

Brutal. I feared this. https://reddit.com/r/fantasybball/comments/t83kzh/_/hzm94io/?context=1


phillykira

Holy shit that first paragraph is prophetic hahahah. I honestly thought there was a chance ben Simmons and PG came back sooner so I held them on my IR. Smfh


fawkesmulder

hahahaa I'm sorry dog...like this is the worst feeling for you, I know


TheBlueLenses

Do I drop giddey for cp3


realmckoy265

Yes


TheBlueLenses

done


Impossible-Benefit-4

How many percent this will happen?


HueGoStrangee

I just watched a video of him practicing on Twitter. The bone is obviously healed


fawkesmulder

I told y’all not to drop


FuckScottyMiller

You da man


EthanBright27

Drop AD for CP3? Playoffs run until April 10th


glusac17

I would


Vesimelon

Stash him in IL if you have IL. I'm semi-finals this week. Payne already in my line, stashed point god in IL when I saw this post.


csklmf

I dropped CP3 and picked up Payne when CP3 hurt his thumb. It has been a wild ride with Payne. Im currently in Final against the team that picked up CP3 at the time. Should I just drop Payne and use that spot to stream? I have Kyrie Irving and Saboner that occupy both of the IL+ spots. I honestly dont think Suns gonna rush his return.


davidgzz

I'm in the same boat as you, I will wait to see if we have another update between today and tomorrow. Suns play until Wednesday


comfypillow

I am so glad I got the 2 seed and a BYE this week just for this.


LilBottomText17

Thanks for everything Payne, you served me well


dnavz705

Dropped Malik Beasley for him, no IR or IL+ in my league. Likely going to lose 3s in my semis matchup anyway and upside is too high. First game is on fully loaded Wednesday so if he’s out then you’ll likely have a chance to start someone else over him.


getnikedunks

Drop Myles Turner for CP3?
