Figured I would start another one since last year's thread was so helpful for me thanks to ClutchCityAg!

First things first, my league's draft order is based off of last year's finish. Since I won the league, I can draft out of whatever slot I like. Which position should I take? Does it matter as much as FF?

Just drafted
ESPN H2H - Most Catagories
10 team keeper league - can keep 5 guys.

I kept Harden, Zion, Lamelo, Ingram (dropped Simmons).


My Squad:
Harden
Zion
Lamelo
Ingram
Jalen Green
Tobias Harris
Montrezl Harrell
Klay Thompson (too early maybe?)
Evan Mobley (maybe too early but wanted to go young high potential)
Jonathan Issac
Thad Young
Marcus Smart
Eric Bledsoe
Alperen Sengun (at this point figure bottom 2-3 guys will be add/drop guys and I liked what I saw from him this summer/preseason)
Caruso (went homer pick since this spot will get dropped i'm sure many times over)

Could use some feedback on this squad!

ESPN 10 team H2H Points I had the third overall pick.

Luka
AD
Zion
Middleton
Ja
CJ McCollum
Malcolm Brogdon
Siakam
JJJ
WCJ
Saddiq Bey
Killian Hayes
Klay Thompson

Damn got Klay with the last pick!?

Yessir! Not sure how his ADP/rank was where it was on ESPN. Not complaining!

So someone just offered me Nurkic for Klay and Saddiq Bey. This is easy, right?

Nurkic looked like garbage during preseason. Take what you will from that but I don't think I would make that trade. I'd hold onto those two.

THE NBA IS BACK!!

Russell Westbrook living up to the hype with a -28 rating with 90 seconds to go in the opener.

That was brutal to watch.

Russell is nothing but stat padding. His lower usage on the Lakers is really going to expose the real player he is, and it's not that great.

Really don't like my team so far.

Giannis
Trae
Sabonis
Capela
Tyrese Haliburton
Jrue Holiday
Caris LeVert
Valanciunas
Mikal Bridges
OG Anunoby
Richaun Holmes
Gordon Hayward
Keldon Johnson

Anuoby has been terrible, I dropped him after 2 games.

Having these 4 right now is not ideal:
Thad Young, Zion, Klay, Isaac

You dropped OG after two games? Are you in like an 8 team league or something?

I have Zion, Siakam, and Klay. Feel your pain, but thankful I have 3 IR slots

I have a good problem, I am very happy with my team and don't know who to cut/trade so I am looking for some ideas for 2 for 1 deals that could potentially help me free up some space for an extra streamer or two until I get a few guys off of the IR. Any thoughts?

G: Luka, Ja, Brogdon, CJ McCollum, Tyrese Maxey, and Patty Mills (streamer)
F: AD, Khris Middleton, Saddiq Bey, Evan Mobley, JJJ, Will Barton
C: WCJ
IR: Zion, Siakam, Klay

Good time to flip Jonas Valanciunas since he's on fire right now? Not nervous, but thinking his value is at an all time high, and that might come down if/when Zion returns.

Have him and Bridges lol who are both popping off.

I think Bridges is a hold, but would flip Val if you can get good value.

Getting VERY close to dropping Bledsoe

keeping Thad Young for a few more weeks in case he gets traded

So my IR is completely full and I am debating dropping Klay Thompson so I don't keep eating zeroes in that spot...is that a horrible idea? I can probably handle a few losses, but don't like it lol

Guards: Luka, Ja, Brogdon, CJ McCollum, Josh Giddey
Forwards: JJJ, Will Barton, Evan Mobley, Saddiq Bey
Centers: AD, WCJ, Nic Batum (just streaming his slot)

Hurt/IR: Zion, Pascal Siakam, Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson

Loving your team so far! I would drop Batum if you have to, and try to trade to open up a spot. I think Bey is somewhat of a sell high right now

Thank you! I just grabbed Batum to stream in and will probably cut him to get someone tomorrow. I have been trying to get a 2 for 1 off and get someone to eat one of my injured roster spots....but no one is biting.

Would you consider swapping McCollum and Klay for Miles Bridges or nah? I feel like the dude could be top 20 this year.

I think I would do that. No idea how klay will do when he returns and Bridges looks > CJ for this season

That's what I'm thinking. How is your roster looking this year?

Dynasty roster is nasty af, got Mobley in the draft.

Points League roster this year is above average but Im weak at guard:
KAT
Bam
Ant Edwards
Kristaps (ugh big regerts here)
Nurkic
OG
Saddick Bey
RJax
Melton
Poole
Maxey
and 3 stream spots

Here's the dynasty roster. We get to keep 15 players each year and draft is 5 rounds for rookies or any dropped players:

Current squad - up to 5 keepers (I kept 4 to get Green...got lucky with Mobley later)

OMG I LOVE YOUR SQAUD!!!

Gonna have some tough choices at the end of the year!! I think Sengun is going to be a top 30 player as early as next year

Need to figure out how to trade a couple guys to improve my 5 keepers. Hoping Green starts to step it up and trade him to go along with Harden/Tobias/Ingram etc. Would like to keep Mobley/Harden/Zion/Lamello/Ingram as of now....

Dynasty squad is sick! Both teams look v good.

Wow your team is crazy. Crazy youth too...Sengun or Wagner might be interesting to consider keeping depending on the format and how the remainder of the year goes.

Just trying to figure out who to package and who to target. Guy who has Luka will not give him up even if I offered him 3 of my best guys....

One of my favorite targets in dynasty is Anthony Edwards, dude is a stud

Which of my guys think I could get to package for him that would help my 5 keepers going forward?

Think would go for Green/Tobias?

That would still leave me with 6 "keepers" for next year but then could try to leverage that at the end of the year for someone else.
