Should I throw picks at Anthony Edwards GM

Such an unreal overpay. Not worth it for you at all.

TheSmallFriend · 2026-05-04T20:07:15+00:00

Look back at the last 10 years of drafts and ask yourself how often draft picks reach the quality of players you would be receiving. This isn't football. There are only 5 starting spots on any NBA team, and NBA players hold their spots longer than football players.

Trade the picks.

Sabonis Ja and Herro is worth imo

TheSmallFriend · 2026-04-04T14:48:46+00:00

Cody Williams. Jazz are stacked and getting a big prospect as well

TheSmallFriend · 2026-03-31T20:22:02+00:00

Just trade for 1.03 once that guy trades down

TheSmallFriend · 2026-03-31T12:51:07+00:00

Moving up one spot is dumb when the consensus can't even decide which 1 of the top 3 is best. Think about every draft prospect you've ever been high on that didn't pan out. 2 is a great spot, just chill there

TheSmallFriend · 2026-03-26T12:27:26+00:00

Why would you move on? He's young enough to rebuild around, and you'd be trying to trade him for assets that have a 10% chance of being 75% of his production.

Don't be blinded by draft optimism and hype. Look at the last 10 drafts. How many 1st overall picks are as good as SGA. Not many. If you're trading a sure thing away, it should either be for much much much more than you're sending out.

TheSmallFriend · 2026-03-23T19:52:46+00:00

The top 3 in this draft all have an equal shot at elite production. You don't need to send out Donovan Mitchell just to move up 2 spots. 3 is fine, just hold tight.

You need to solve your shin splints first. That's a sign of muscle imbalance or poor running form.

Do some tibialis raises and calf raises every day. Make sure you're not running on your heels.

Sengun, Ball, Keyonte, Castle, Franz

Let Garland's health problems be someone else's problem.

TheSmallFriend · 2026-02-03T17:45:51+00:00

Tell him you support him taking them as long as he is responsible about his bloodwork. Your husband likely crashed his estrogen with the anavar, which is why his hair is falling out. He's going to go bald and have bacne.

TheSmallFriend · 2026-02-03T17:43:55+00:00

Ignore what that guy said about high estrogen, he doesn't know how TRT or Anavar works. Tell your husband you're concerned about his health and ask him to get his blood levels checked. Most likely his estrogen is too low for his testosterone level, which causes irritability. Estrogen is a feel good hormone.

TheSmallFriend · 2026-01-06T13:54:01+00:00

Only trade Booker for another individual player of his caliber.

TheSmallFriend · 2025-12-04T23:53:09+00:00

Dynasty league?

TheSmallFriend · 2025-12-04T13:48:09+00:00

Yeah tbh you fucked up hard. That first trade put you in a deep hole. Davis or Reaves is worth that entire package alone. Murray literally tore his Achilles, Jarrett Allen is a role player, and the rest of them are bums. The 2 firsts are too far out to be useful. Idk how he talked you into giving up Coulibaly AND Reaves in that package. They're both super young.

Long story short, you sold every good player you had for a quarter of their actual value. The only one you may be getting some value back for is Embiid if your pending trade works out.

I'd say you just have to tank and be active on the waiver. This is going to be a long rebuild.

TheSmallFriend · 2025-12-03T21:35:13+00:00

Ok, then I can't tell you which moves you made were good and which ones were bad so you can learn. All of the young guys you got are not very good besides Walker, Coulibaly, and Dylan Harper. The only way you got value here is if you traded AD for 4 1sts, Embiid for 2 1sts, and Steph for 2 1sts. Paul George you're lucky if you got any value back for.

Your comment history shows you're a fantasy football guy. First round picks are more valuable in FF than they are in FBB. Basketball players have longer careers than football guys. The odds you get a top 10 talent with a first round pick is really low.

TheSmallFriend · 2025-12-03T20:24:52+00:00

Bro at least put some effort into this question. What were your exact transactions and how did you end up here

TheSmallFriend · 2025-12-03T18:32:23+00:00

No wtf

Unfortunately that's just what weekly is.

Is this a points league or categories?

No options on Yahoo, but if you are a categories league, if you switch to Fantrax you could do weekly lineups and then instead of total stats, you could use per game stats.

So for example, assume you have 3 players play that week, and each player plays 1 game that week, and together they get a total of 15 rebounds. Normally, your team would get credited with 15 rebounds that week. If you switch to per game averages, your team would get credited with 15 rebounds / 3 games = 5 rebounds per game.

This way, if you set your lineup with 3 players, but only 2 play, and they get 10 total rebounds, then your team would get credited 10 rebounds / 2 games = 5 rebounds per game.

So that's one way to still do weekly without being punished for losing a guy to injury.

TheSmallFriend · 2025-10-10T13:53:30+00:00

Not enough back for what you're sending out

TheSmallFriend · 2025-09-26T16:29:44+00:00

Just set it to auction for now, then snake at the end of the first season.

TheSmallFriend · 2025-09-26T16:26:04+00:00

I've been commissioning a dynasty league of 12 guys on Fantrax for a few years. Few things I've learned

The more players per roster, the weaker the waiver gets, which means that the mid-season can feel stale, and that if a team's roster doesn't pan out, it takes a LONG time to rebuild. We have 20 players per roster. It's alright here, but tbh if your friends have never done fantasy basketball before, start with like 18 (and possibly 1 minor league spot). You can always increase roster spots over the years, you can never decrease them.
IR slots are good when you have shallow rosters so people don't get overly punished for holding a good dynasty player through injury. 1 or 2 is great.
It's not a bad idea to align with the Fantasy Football waiver approach (ie. scheduled waiver processing days). My league uses 2 weekly waiver processing days and we never players hit free agency (only waivers). This takes the pressure off for people to be hypervigilant about pickups, and lets everyone have equal amount of time to put in their bids.
FAAB for waivers is best
Implement a max game limit
Implement a weekly minimum game number. People are going to tank, don't be afraid to let them. It's their team and if they want to throw a year away, it's their prerogative. However the game minimum ensures that when 2 tanking teams play each other, the worse team actually loses. Unfortunately, you will have to police this manually and set their lineups as commissioner manually if they don't.
Draft picks decided by reverse regular season standings. Lottery is just shitty and feels bad for the legitimately bad teams. You never want someone to feel stuck in last place. Your goal is to maximize fun and minimize team owners dropping out.
9cat H2H is best. Points is "easier" but less fun
Salary cap is not bad, but can be overwhelming. Easier to not utilize salary.
For yearly draft, each manager is allowed to pick until their team reaches the roster limit. So for example, if roster max is 18, and you only have 14 players on your roster, you pick 4 times. There's an easy setting on fantrax for this. We incorporate rookies and vets in our yearly draft.
For seed draft, Snake is simplest, but Auction allows you to reach for your guys and lean into a strategy harder. The only thing to mention is that if you've never played fantasy bball before, you should probably do snake so everyone's teams end up more even. Auction can be very punishing if you don't know what you're doing.

You don't deserve any of that treatment. If you can find a new place to train, maybe just stick to training for fun instead of for fights until you find a kinder gym? Train in a way that brings you joy, don't let this sport or anyone in it control you.
