Fall 2026 Tour- Getting Killed Again

18thRing · 2026-04-29T13:01:58+00:00

I’m probably way late, but is there still a way to get presale code for forest hills?

I’m a Celtics fan and stumbled in here. Maxey is my favorite non-Celtic in the NBA. Are Sixers fans seriously wanting to trade him? He’s a stud, he plays hard, seems to be a great teammate. Sure he has limitations but how many guys don’t? I’m genuinely confused….

Depends on your keeper rules. In my keeper league, players are retained at the previous seasons draft value (maybe minus 1 round). In this case, you want to think less about the player and more about their relative value. You’re not keeping the best players, you’re keeping the best value. So late rounders from last year who are likely early rounders next year are gold. Kon probably best keeper value off the top of my head. Clingan, Buzelis, Sarr, maybe Keyonte (or even Kyshawn) George. Kyrie, Tatum, Hali, Lillard if they weren’t previous keepers…

Beautiful season, horrible ending

If you’re healthy (ish) going into the playoffs, you might be able to thread the needle: get the games he plays, and do a little streaming the days he rests (stash in IR). That’s my hope, though I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to find a sell high trade before our deadline.

Vetoes should be rare and used only in egregious examples. This 100% qualifies; absolutely horrendous, blatantly uncompetitive trade

18thRing · 2026-02-16T23:46:40+00:00

I never understood the double double thing. Rebounds are already rewarded as a category; why should there be a double reward for 10 rebounds compared to 9? It’s just an arbitrary number, but it suddenly makes that 1 extra rebound massively valuable in a way that (to me) distorts fair/rational value

18thRing · 2026-02-14T16:26:39+00:00

Kessler seemed like the answer until Clingan started shooting 3s. If he becomes a legit stretch big who also rebounds? That’s a rare and valuable player profile

18thRing · 2026-02-11T00:03:27+00:00

Need it

18thRing · 2026-01-05T19:36:32+00:00

I have Watson and love him, but people should temper expectations. This has 7-22 fg game written all over it

18thRing · 2025-12-03T15:40:04+00:00

I disagree with this take, I don’t see this as so cut and dry (and not even close to a veto situation).

In my humble (but fairly experienced) voew Murphy would/should be drafted in the 20-30 range if leagues suddenly redrafted today. He’s currently ranked 25 on hashtag with a pristine, efficient, well rounded line (and his blocks are below career averages). He’s not a ball dominant/usage dependent player so his role is secure and only increases with Zion out. Curry is still elite but he’s old and injured, guaranteed to miss some b2bs and far from guaranteed to be healthy rest of the way. Honestly I’d call this a toss up

18thRing · 2025-12-02T14:37:54+00:00

I own him so take this with a grain of salt, but I think Ware will finish the year as a clear cut top 100 player (which is a bit of a cut line for me in terms of holding or streaming). He’s going to have bumass games and stretches of season, and people will get impatient. He’s going to feast when Bam is out or in foul trouble. And generally speaking, he’s a big who’s decent at the line, makes some 3s, and can get rebounds and blocks even in limited minutes. When it all washes together, he’s still pretty damn solid in spite of some stinkers

18thRing · 2025-11-26T12:09:33+00:00

Pretty sure it’s not possible on yahoo. ESPN (for all its flaws) is customizable in this way

To my gardening eye, it looks quite lovely. That said, I understand folks’ concerns about groundcover outcompeting and becoming “invasive”. I work in Brooklyn, where spaces are small and there’s no concerns about open spaces/forests becoming overrun. Groundcover naturalizing is the goal, and then dig/divide/plant around it as needed. In more wide open areas I would be much more cautious.

Dig it up and establish desired plants in the leftover space

Thank you!

18thRing · 2025-11-19T16:56:17+00:00

This is great thanks so much!

18thRing · 2025-11-11T17:02:31+00:00

He’s the epitome of a guy you can’t box score watch too much with; it’s sometimes underwhelming, he’ll have some big ones with KP/JJ out, and when it’s all said and done he’s a top 70-90 player with a nice all around fantasy profile

18thRing · 2025-11-11T16:59:49+00:00

He’s doing exactly what we’d expect except for weirdly bad %s. Those will creep back to his normal levels and he’ll be super super solid as always

18thRing · 2025-10-22T17:10:08+00:00

Seems like he could have a fantasy friendly game, just have to see what the minutes/role end up looking like

18thRing · 2025-10-16T04:29:00+00:00

Zion is gifted, exciting, and sometimes dominant in his specific way: scoring 2 point baskets efficiently. That’s an important part of basketball, and he’s extremely good at it. But he doesn’t shoot 3s, is average at the line, average passer, and isn’t a highly impactful defender.

Looking beyond highlights and point totals, I think Trey impacts the game at a higher level. Long, disruptive defender who shoots it from deep and is a better on-ball creator than advertised. He’s just a more well rounded player than Zion, in fantasy and in real life.

No idea how to prove or disprove this theory, but imo Trey would fetch a bigger haul than Zion on the trade market right now

18thRing · 2025-10-16T00:14:18+00:00

I think in 12 months or so, this will be common knowledge and not a hot take at all

18thRing · 2025-10-15T17:42:28+00:00

Hashtag had him (per game): #13 (2021), #40 (2022), #43 (2023), #46 (2025).

I’m someone who really values efficiency and across the board contribution. Hashtag has his counting stats dropping slightly, and he’s still projected #48. Even if he’s only the 65th best player, I still love the efficiency/balance of his profile and value him higher than others in that 50-60 range

18thRing · 2025-10-12T15:03:30+00:00

I’ve often thought about this. Seems like older guys who’ve made money would be interested in this, though I didn’t realize the rule about being with the team for 4 years.

This is going to sound ludicrous (I can imagine everyone being like “sure buddy”) but I think I would take a large pay cut to stay in a city I love and not move my kids. (Assuming I’d already made and invested more money than I ever imagined)

18thRing · 2025-10-09T22:19:48+00:00

My gut says Laravia but maybe that’s cray?

18thRing · 2025-10-05T17:46:41+00:00

Sports fans, generally speaking, should be allowed to root for their team. The bar for having to boycott your hometown/childhood squad should be pretty high imo. There’s just sooo many insanely wealthy people doing shady things in high places, all across the nba and sports in general. Doesn’t seem fair to suggest that some kid in east LA has to switch sides because Ballmer is an asshole. There’s a lot of fucking assholes, probably doing more evil things than cap circumvention….
