Hey guys, did you see the Nets freed Jahlil the other night?

I won't post the box score, but he scored over 20! Super pumped!!

Now back to not discussing basketball.

I'll straight up say I disagree with y'all throwing cats. In a league where the scheduling isn't balanced and tiebreakers are decided by seeding it's a really bad idea to start this shite.


Agree. I try to win every week. shite I was happy to hand Jumpy that L a couple of weeks back. I think for this year, I have the worst team but I very well may finish 10th. It's one thing to take on younger guys, but intentionally not trying to win each week is weak as hell, even if it's not "smart" for your team. If I end up with the 5th pick in the draft, so be it. The way the last couple of drafts have been that might not be such a bad thing anyway.

None could have expedited the fire sale!

Yea, play to win though. Only time you should be benching is if you're benching to save a cat like FT% or so.

Yeah, this I get. I don't have an issue with what someone does with their roster, but giving someone a W when you are in position to win ain't good. Looking at someone else in the standings and trying to catch them in losses isn't either.

Both times I have faced complaints about not starting guys were weeks I had some of my top players injured. Had they not been injured, I would've been around 42-43 starts.

I was not intentionally tanking. I didn't know I had to start scrubs in that case, but now I know and I will do so going forward. Giannis and d Murray were benched by mistake on Friday.

Having said that, taking offers for JV and Redick. I'm willing to wait until closer to the deadline as I imagine their trade value might go up.

I have accidentally not started guys myself. I am not worried about that.

I've got a #1 I would consider trading. It'll probably be no worse than the 7th /8th pick

I think the idea is you have to try to win...that would mandate starting "scrubs" if studs are injured and reaching the max games limit if possible. Pretty simple.

Looks like they might be clearing house. I would expect Lou Williams to be gone before DeAndre.

On the surface this is what it looks like to me.

Tobias =
Bradley(If they trade Lou Will) =
Blake =
Harrell +
Kennard +
Boban(If they move Deandre) +

I don't think the Clippers stop here.

Avery has been dealing with a groin. I don't see how he'll pass a physical. Maybe they can get around that since he's an expiring. But Avery has been pitiful this year.

Boban is a Neanderthal. I just think he sucks. Not something I'd wanna rely on.

Tobias can play.
