Vooch is a master of steals
I saw someone drop Anfernee Simons to the waiver today. Is he a must roster? (10 team ESPN points league)
I think one thing we can confirm without a doubt is Doc Rivers is a locked on fantasy basketball fan cause WHAT is Bobby Portis doing playing 31 minutes
Do I trade herb jones for ingram lol
Scoot hit a halfcourt heave
Did you say Oscar Schindler is ranked higher than Keyonte George this season? 🤯 yeah rankings are weird.
Do I give up brandon miller for mikal bridges and dyson daniels in a points league?
Call it cope but 13 points two games in a row for vooch because he was questionable dealing with lower back tightness and played through it
Worst contract in NBA has got to be the 4 year 48Million contract Svi Mykhalluk has in Utah. Dude doesn’t even play.
“Down Town” Christian Braun
I wish ESPN picked up some of you LockedOn guys 🤦🏾♂️ the corn they have and offer during daytime TV doesn’t compare. Josh is so subtle and creative; I still laugh at the F/C that was an injury replacement (forgot the team) few weeks ago, he called out the deep leaguers like “Yea. Here’s a guy we all know, [player name] if you haven’t, tada. I know my Deep onyx peeps have been following this guy since before he was in high school, nothin wrong with that 😉 “ 🤣 😆
"Wemby is going to break fantasy" You declared last year… turns out is actually Jokic breaking fantasy…
From what I've heard, Wemby was always the type of a player who does what he wants, not what the team wants. So I think that you are partially right on you analysis, but the reasoning behind it isn't that Spurs want him to develop 3 point shot, but he wants to develop 2 point shot and the Spurs, knowing they wouldn't be able to stop him doing that, just went with the flow. Imo, Victor will start to dunk when he decides that "okay, it's I can now reliably shot 3 pointers, let's dunk on people now". And yes, he is gonna be the GOAT at that point.
You didn’t even finished the sentence w Simons…😂 are we. keeping him or what 😂
Hey Josh, I think you misread the Gambadoro report. KD and Nurkic will be back this week for one of Phoenix’s two games.
Gambadoro reported on December 4th that he expected KD to be out for the following three games, ending with Orlando (which is today). He said that he expects KD to be ready for Utah or Portland, which is Phoenix’s next two games.
Same applies with Nurkic. The three game stretch Gambadoro stated as being what he expected KD and Nurkic to miss just passed.
This guy really hates vooch
Drop Wendell for Goga?
Drop monk for Murphy iii in 8 team points ?
Mobley injured mid game. Lauri is just mid. Kuminga was on the bench. May have sold my week projected down 140. Only down 26 but it’s not looking good.
Please let me know where you got that tee
Ranks are very flawed and we should simply stop using them PERIOD. They are more guidelines for noobs. Instead we should talk about how many categories a player is strong in vs how many they are weak at. Let's look at Keyonte George. He is strong in THREES (2.6), PTS (15.9), AST (5.6) and FT% (82) vs being weak in 3 categories FG (39%), TO(3.3) and BLOCKS (0.1). Hard to consider his 0.8 steals strong or weak it's mid. Same with rebs it's mid and "normal" for a guard at 3.2 per game. So that's 4 categories he helps and 3 categories he hurts you. That makes him overall more useful than harmful. And he probably should be on a punt FG%, punt TO type of team. (He is on one of my teams that is doing exactly that). Another good idea would be to compare him to other similar players who provide similar ast, similar pts, similar threes type value…
Good to see that you are doing well in at least 2 of your leagues… It's hard to focus on so many leagues and do well. I'm in 22 this year. Most of them I'm near the top or middle… I have quite a good strategy! 🙂
I'm planning to go after either one of Siakam or DeRozan due to their good playoff schedules.
Q1: which of them you'd rather have?
Q2: would a package consisting of Poole + Zion be reasonable for one of them? I feel like it's a slight overpay (assuming Zion comes back of course, which is a big "IF").
Is it worth it to do a trade involving me giving up AD to get luka?
Kingy in 1st place = GOAT
The Brook Lopez "bad then good, then bad, then good" made it seem like you were rapping
we arent gnna make much of the kings game but at the same time make a conclusion on keegan murray based off this blow out game? makes sense
I have been trying to sell Markkanen low for ~2weeks now and every accepted trade gets vetoed. Can't sell him for a top 50 as it gets declined. Sell for a top 80-100 and it gets vetoed. I'm stuck with him.
"Jokic is not this guy" is not the take i expected to hear this morning 😂
Rui Hachimura won me my week yesterday. I will drop him soon but I’ll never forget this ☝️
Brandon Boston is shooting 44% from the field, not anywhere close to 38%. 45:50
Traded Mikal Bridges straight up for Embiid. Am i gonna regret this
lol I got haliburton for keyonte George two games ago. Some people panick selling
I got offered clax and kcp for my lavine would you guys take this trade? I’m in need of blocks. My current centre’s are ad , ayton, oo , sarr . I would drop yabusele in this trade. 9 cat 12 team league
Even if he's useless I need a Haime Haquez Hunior mention in all shows 😂
The taco hat after the DOPDT drop killed me
Josh do cup games count statistically on espn fantasy for 9cat?
I believe Jeremy Sochan has only hit 6 shots outside of 10 feet this season of his 63 makes and majority of his makes are right at the basket… It might be hard for him to play heavy minutes if he can’t spread the floor at least a little bit and he’s shooting 69% from the line… maybe he figures things out but I’m skeptical
NEED HELP CHAT! Have Harden and Embiid and they are offering Jamal Murray and KAT for them. Should i?
You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Should i trade my Vucevic for Bam Adebayo?
In a 9 cat league which one is better
Duren or Claxton?
Duren or Claxton
In a 9 cat league, i have Duren but i dont know if i drop him for Claxton
Took my first L this week, after lamelo, KAT, FVV, Mobley, Lebron, and Jalen Johnson got injured 😔
what platform does josh play fantasy on?
Poole kept getting doubled in this game, Wells was literally hugging him for a stretch. He just needs less scrubby players around him.
I played against Jokic last week and smacked him! I have Shengun, Doncic, Franz Wagner & D’Aaron Fox. All top 20 in Fantrax 👍🏻
I heard Bill Simmons is still holding on to Jaime jaquez jr.
Worst draft class, this past one or the 2013 Anthony Bennett class?
Siakam honestly killing me
