Fantasy Basketball

[magic nest]

That’s the issue

I like my centers

The only one I’d even consider would be JJJ but I like his blocks too much

Players I’d give are all guards

GTJ, Rozier, Tre Jones

Hmm

[stone fiber]

im kinda interested in nurkic but i also cant take on any players with khris and harden returning

any extra*

[magic nest]

What do you think of JJJ tho

[night sedge]

i love me some grizzlies

have dillon and boy been serving left and right

[eternal fern]

Injuries hurting me this week

I now have 3 guys from the Pistons

[night sedge]

i would kill to have Alperen Şengün btw

[magic nest]

No to JJJ?

[night sedge]

YES to JJJ

I love him too

my blocks bout to go ham

[magic nest]

Lemme think about it

Make the offer, I’ll answer it sometime soon

[magic nest]

Hey I mulled it over and decided to not go through with the trade, sorry

[night sedge]

noooo

[night sedge]

Dillon BROOKS is my dear beloved

[bronze prairie]

@eternal fern haven't even used any adds this week

my team going crazy

[eternal fern]

ive had 5 injuries and a bunch of guys missing games

[bronze prairie]

ah

[eternal fern]

had to drop Hayward, cause i had 4 guys injured

and everyone i added, was mediocre at best

[bronze prairie]

rip

[eternal fern]

but yea, all ur guys doing fantastic this week

i forget its only a 1 or 0 for the matchups

not a point for each won category

[magic nest]

2 weeks back to back I faced guys who I’m pretty sure are afk lol

[night sedge]

yea thats a buzzkill man

[magic nest]

At least I’m facing Xepno this week, should be fun

[eternal fern]

if my guys stop being injured, it will b good

[magic nest]

Who you got injured

[eternal fern]

i had to use all 7 moves last week, just to lose 3-6 or something

supposedly, everyone has returned

even PG returns today

[magic nest]

I just have JJJ out today for load management

Oh and John Collins and Ben Simmons too

Collins sucks anyways though so it’s fine

I hate him

[celest ledge]

kawhi back today

maybe

[magic nest]

Nice

[celest ledge]

bro i overdrafted him

[eternal fern]

both him and PG return vs the Hornets

[celest ledge]

and its been a big problem

[magic nest]

Kawhi?

[celest ledge]

yes

[magic nest]

My biggest disappointment has been FVV at 20 but I got AD at 21, Markkanen at like 80 and JJJ at 108 or something so I guess it all worked out haha

[magic nest]

AD out in the middle of the game with some illness?

[night sedge]

yea

probs he had to take a dump or some shi

flu game

[magic nest]

Apparently had 101 degree fever

The fact that he tried to play through that is crazy

If AD doesn’t play the rest of the week I’m cooked though cause I need his rebounds and blocks

[night sedge]

aw yea

i feel u

[magic nest]

Dude has been playing better than my number 1 pick and this was only the second game he missed all season

[magic nest]

It’s a freaking hospital in here

[stone fiber]

Damn, I feel your pain

[magic nest]

Another one

[night sedge]

Awww

man

My guy Turan cant catch a break

[celest ledge]

dammn

nooo lauri

[night sedge]

dejounte got injured too

fuck me

[night sedge]

Xepno bout to catch a fat L this week man

We'll go easy on u Xepno

[eternal fern]

was going well

ur winning all of the secondary stats

stl, blcks, to, FG% and something else

5-4

[magic nest]

Down to assists tonight

Normally I’d win rebounds too but Markkanen and Collins were both out all week, and Simmons + AD missed a couple

[eternal fern]

last 3 weeks, ive had lots of injuries

and guys sitting out games

[night sedge]

Lets see

Whats gonna happen

Clash of the aegeans

[magic nest]

you're up against Xepno next week?

[night sedge]

Yes

Must win

[magic nest]

This is good for me because the two of you are the teams that are right below me in the standings so one of you will get off my tail

[night sedge]

Lmaoo is that so

What if we pull a draw

[magic nest]

I win in every scenario

[magic nest]

Fox is out for the game again @eternal fern

https://tenor.com/view/crab-safe-dance-gif-13211112

[eternal fern]

well, ive lost then

was behind like 6 assists

[bronze prairie]

staying undefeated

[magic nest]

Ayo why is Myles Turner on the waivers

[bronze prairie]

anyone interested in bobby

i need to do a 2-1 trade

where i give up two

willing to lose value

[magic nest]

Hit me up with a trade

My username in the league is Ellis McPickle

[night sedge]

he is mine

[magic nest]

Who dropped him though

[night sedge]

i forgot but got the notification during work last night

and picked up my phone

baow

[magic nest]

Sounds fishy tbh but aight

[night sedge]

@magic nest HHotel Booker did

dropped him to get melton

[magic nest]

Damn

Doesn’t sound like the smartest move lol

He has tons of players injured or gtd too, he could’ve just put them in il+, il or ir too if he wanted Melton so much lol

[night sedge]

yea true that

[magic nest]

Who’s the commissioner in this league?

[night sedge]

@bronze prairie

at this point maybe we should also run a DFS league

[magic nest]

Dorian Finney Smith league?

Lol

[night sedge]

daily fantasy

[minor sphinx]

I think @eternal fern is

[eternal fern]

With the limited bench spots, theres going to be decent guys available on the FA list

But, theres a few not using the 2 IL and IL+ spots

[bronze prairie]

me

why

[magic nest]

Meh now that I think about it, it’s fine

Myles Turner isn’t like gamebreaking

Cause at first I was gonna cry like “you gotta veto this, creates an unfair advantage blah blah” but it’s fine

[bronze prairie]

ok

willing to trade away portis and Tobi/Poole/Tingus in a 2-1 for a good 3

[magic nest]

I’d LOVE Portis + Pingus but don’t think I have a good 3 for you lol

Actually I do have Markkanen

Hmm

[magic nest]

Damn, Myles went to the undefeated team

[bronze prairie]

you have the best drugs in the whole world

both players i'm sending you are better than lauri

[magic nest]

Which is exactly what I said in the message

It was just a shot in the dark

[stone fiber]

rip

Hopefully hotel booker drops Hali next time

[magic nest]

Hopefully not cause the competitive edge in this league is down the shitter

[stone fiber]

yea half the teams are inactive at this pt

oh well

[magic nest]

This is the 2nd fantasy league for the Buckscord right? If so, it’s understandable

[stone fiber]

yeah

we also had to scramble to find ppl from outside the server too

[minor sphinx]

I had to ask people in nets cord and in Celtics cord and in Main heat cord

Because there was not a lot of people who would be interested

In here

[stone fiber]

yea

thanks for doing that tho

even if they’re not active it’s better than facing the same 4-5 stacked teams every week

[minor sphinx]

No problem. It was no big deal because I am active in all 3 of there cords .

[night sedge]

jerami grant a beast

and cant believe dillon brooks was a FA

[eternal fern]

we had a bunch of people interested,
so wer like, lets do another league

then, they didnt sign up

and then dissapoinment

[night sedge]

sadness

[night sedge]

xepno getting that 2021 miami heat playoffs experience from me at this point

[magic nest]

A very underrated part of having AD: every other day I can put him in IL+ since he gets GTD every non game day so I can always get an extra waiver pickup

[night sedge]

Lmaoo

[bronze prairie]

i love how it lets me add brogdon but not put him in my lineup

[night sedge]

Why thooo

[magic nest]

@night sedge who needs AD

[minor sphinx]

Who wants to make trades

[stone fiber]

I'd be down

[minor sphinx]

Send me a offer pls

[stone fiber]

Mind if we discuss in DMs before? New to fantasy bball so I don’t wanna send you a trade you’re definitely not interested in lol

[minor sphinx]

That sounds good

[eternal fern]

i allowed a trade

a bit weird, but, rock n roll

[night sedge]

U got lucky holmes

ill take on Daniel this week

Lets see .

[magic nest]

Picking up the guy who replaced AD’s productivity isn’t luck

[night sedge]

Can my underdogs stay on top?

[minor sphinx]

Thanks xepno for allowing the trade

[night sedge]

Time to find out

[magic nest]

Next week I’m facing Pierre

Guaranteed loss without AD unless Collins decides not to be mid anymore

[minor sphinx]

I kind of think Collins is overrated in general

[magic nest]

Dude what the fuck Collins was declared healthy, just got a notification he’s injured again

I dropped Kessler for him

I can’t even put him back in IL cause my IL spots are full with AD and GTJ

GTJ is another failed pick

Main silver lining is that I built up a good record so I have a cushion

[night sedge]

Collins sux

[eternal fern]

GTD, for half my team, the last 2 weeks.
main guys missing games.
most of my FA pickups, doing average at best

[bronze prairie]

this week shaping to be my first L

[minor sphinx]

Good

[magic nest]

aw man i wanted your first l to be from me

[night sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/shannon-sharpe-gif-25530022

underdogs on top

[bronze prairie]

who's pickle

sent you a trade

@magic nest

accept that bad boy

it's a steal for you but it clears my roster spot

[magic nest]

How is it a steal exactly?

Well tbh

Aaron Gordon does fit my build

But I love Markkanen too much

[magic nest]

Maybe Tobias in Bobby’s place?

[bronze prairie]

i can't do that

[magic nest]

Tbh I thought about it, I’d rather keep my man Lauri Bird

[bronze prairie]

guess you hate bobby

that's fine

I'm not even a bucks fan and i like bobby

[magic nest]

I’m a Bucks fan, I saw him drop 4/4 without any other stats last game

And Aaron Gordon isn’t keeping up his recent production season long

With Brook healthy, any game where Brook and Giannis are both doing well on offense, Bobby’s numbers will suffer

[magic nest]

Should have offered you AD for Harris and Pingus when you were asking

[eternal fern]

i didnt check my lineup, and left Giannis on the bench

then, i tried to quick add a player

added him at 6:59
then it turned 7pm
and it wouldnt let me start him

SOAB

no G and wasted move

[bronze prairie]

dude

you're joking

you don't know me

for me

there's political figure a

historical political figures b-d

then the lakers

on my hate list

[magic nest]

Lmao

Oh yeah you’re a pelicans fan, you probably hate AD extra

Cause he forced his way out

[bronze prairie]

nah

the ingram trade was the best trade in pels history

wemby + BI + mccollum + more players picks

[magic nest]

Dyson Daniels

[night sedge]

@bronze prairie btw now u look back at our trade

its win win

First i thought i was fleeced but damn Randle is back on his BS again and ballin out

[eternal fern]

im slacking.
sorry to my opponent

[magic nest]

I’m not slacking. Sorry to my opponent

[eternal fern]

yesterday on my bench...

McCollum 40-8-9

wednesday on my bench...

Giannis 45-14-4

[magic nest]

Looking to trade GTJ + Rozier for 1 good player

[magic nest]

Me vs @bronze prairie this week

[bronze prairie]

forgot the part where ingram and curry are way out in the sea spectating from a boat

[magic nest]

I have AD out but that’s expected lol

[bronze prairie]

AD is a negative player

[night sedge]

was easy

Lets see who's next on my homicide list

[magic nest]

he gave me number 1 pick level of production for 3 months, if he misses a month or 2 and comes back for fantasy playoffs with the same numbers as before, I'll call that a win at 21st pick

[eternal fern]

if i could remember to set my lineups, thatd b nice

keep looking too late, and have guys chillin on the bench

[celest ledge]

lol same

[minor sphinx]

Same as well

[celest ledge]

wish it was just weekly

lol just checked

3 dudes

fuckin holidaze

and 2 waiting to be put on IR

[eternal fern]

last week, i had mccollum and giannis on the bench in back to back days, while theyr scoring 40+ points

[celest ledge]

smart

if i had giannis he would never see my bench

[eternal fern]

i didnt bench him on purpose, was accident

[celest ledge]

NEVER AGAIN

[magic nest]

Worse than Bobby Portis btw

[stone fiber]

lauri been balling

Hope Sabonis injury is minor and he doesn’t aggravate it further, dude has been carrying lately

[night sedge]

hotel booker

get ready for this L

im the new king

[magic nest]

It’s lonely up here

[bronze prairie]

you cheated

Fuck

[stone fiber]

gg @magic nest , had a great week but you just had an even better one lol

[magic nest]

wanted to get the 9-0, but as always, FVV and Rozier killed my fg% 😦

gg

[night sedge]

Turaannnnnnn

its me against you

https://tenor.com/view/black-panther-erik-killmonger-waiting-for-this-moment-gif-12729201

[magic nest]

I didn’t take a screenshot but we were 9-0 for like a minute yesterday lol @night sedge

[night sedge]

Everytime i play against u my top guys get injured

[magic nest]

My guy, AD, Vassell and Jokic are out for me, you shouldn’t be talking about injuries lol

[night sedge]

still man

I'm built like Miami Heat, only the dawgs

and underdogs

[split badger]

Jaden Ivey is the most annoying fantasy player to own

he gets the prettiest stats but on the worst efficiency

[bronze prairie]

this was way to close

[magic nest]

That’s why you always always punt percentages and to

[split badger]

We in points league but still

[magic nest]

Opens up the player pool a lot cause there’s so many players that can contribute so much but are held back by efficiency and turnovers

[magic nest]

Oh didn’t know that, my league is 9cat

[split badger]

Yeaaaa if he had better efficiency he could be great for me

The hope is as a rookie, he only gets better in the 2nd half

[magic nest]

Nah, rookies almost always have terrible efficiency, especially Ivey’s archetype (slasher, explosive guard, nom-shooter)

[stone fiber]

fantasy mood rn

[celest ledge]

nomnomnom

[split badger]

Me as Bucks fan seeing this awesome performance from McConnell thus far

https://tenor.com/view/curb-your-enthusiasm-larry-david-confused-unsure-undecided-gif-3294343

Holyyyy make it 33

For context, you want your streamer to END with 33…

Brother already has it

[magic nest]

How do you have 0 blocks and 1 steal lmao

[stone fiber]

absolutely cursed day for efficiency, what in the blue fuck is this

[split badger]

WTF

harden 16%?! We do love to see it amiright

[celest ledge]

yikes

[split badger]

BRO LMAO

Kyle Anderson helping me so much this week

[night sedge]

yea he a beast

had to drop him for cam johnson tho 😭

[stone fiber]

anyone interested in a trade?

[magic nest]

Hit me up

[night sedge]

same

hmu

[celest ledge]

I will trade Myn

[magic nest]

Twin towers

[bronze prairie]

how did i lose 😭

last minute he flipped turnovers and fg%

[median crane]

Yo

@split badger do I accept

[celest ledge]

thats kinda crazy

idk

i suck at fb so dont listen to me

[median crane]

Oh ok

[split badger]

@celest ledge @median crane Hart irrelevant here so:

Jokic > Embiid
Haliburton >> Kawhi
Bane > Maxey

I think you should keep your guys here honestly

Haliburton is just so much better fantasy wise than Kawhi rn

[celest ledge]

why hart irrellevant

[split badger]

He’s just aight imo, esp playing in NY, I wouldn’t expect it to be smthg that sways my decision on a trade

we talking abt fantasy value btw not irl

irl way better value player

[median crane]

Yea

I agree

[split badger]

Cuz obv Kawhi > Hali irl too just cuz who he has been, but in fantasy, Kawhi sits way too much and is doing worse than Hali by a lot

[median crane]

Yeah Hali gets the double doubles

Somehow I managed to pick up ad and dame also

So I was thinking jokic trio could be great

[split badger]

If I was you I would rather try and do a trade but AD instead

And keep Hali

[median crane]

Oh rly

Imma try

Ig

[bronze prairie]

@split badger or whatever mod is in this league can you ping the fantasy role to let people know playoffs are coming up

idk why playoffs are so late in this league

i guess we started late

[minor sphinx]

The mod that is in the in the league is @stone fiber

[magic nest]

We started one week late I think

[stone fiber]

<@&1031751734026047548> playoffs are starting in 2 weeks

I think anyone should be able to ping that role

[minor sphinx]

I can’t ping the role

[stone fiber]

ok I lied

Thought there was a way for members in a role to ping it but I guess not

Could always just be dumb

[minor sphinx]

There is way and you have to edit the role

To make it have the option for anyone to ping the role

[stone fiber]

I only see the option to tag everyone/any role

I’ll check when i get back from work, it might just be a mobile issue

[tepid wedge]

Anybody tryna take a gamble on Morant lolz....

[magic nest]

I’ll give it a shot

But don’t wanna jump the gun

[magic nest]

Does the 1 seed get a bye first week in this league?

[bronze prairie]

1 and 2 i believe

[bronze prairie]

good luck @eternal fern

next week

[magic nest]

Bad luck everyone other than me 😜

Tbh though, Jazz tanking is gonna fuck me cause they’re not playing Markkanen

[bronze prairie]

oh i guess i'm not against xepno

[magic nest]

You’ll be against Xepno next week

[bronze prairie]

if i win lol

[bronze prairie]

gg @eternal fern

[eternal fern]

aye thanks

relied a lot on Giannis

he sits, my team failed

[bronze prairie]

Idk why we even started the league so late

[eternal fern]

plus others randomly didnt play.
plus, i should have planned better

[bronze prairie]

it's the end of the season

[eternal fern]

we were late in making it

like, the day before, and setup failed

[bronze prairie]

yeah

[eternal fern]

so we waited til after week 1

[bronze prairie]

I think I made this one lol

it says i'm commissioner i didn't even know that

[eternal fern]

haha

[bronze prairie]

@hallow ermine You got a role waiting for me? At least my teams won something today

[magic nest]

we started late cause there was already a fantasy league going on and some people (mainly me) were complaining that we didn't get to join, so we started a second one, but the time was communicated poorly, so we had to delay it by a week

[minor sphinx]

then I had to promote it in different servers

[magic nest]

All this cause I didn’t see the first league being started
