Seems this post is pinned so here are the 2025/26 award predictions that I've received so far! If you haven't sent already then feel free to shoot me your list!

 

[Hardy]

On different news, Kevin Porter Jr giving 46 and 48 fantasy points in his first two games. MPJ doing well too. Maybe I should get Otto and sacrifice the 3 to summon Porter Senior, he must be a badass.

yeah Grant is def not the 1st team option you want if you wanna win it all. He's more of a 2-3rd option on a good team or a tank commander on a bad team.

The Celtics are very interested in him for whatever reason so yeah, 4th option here we go.

[scav]

oh that's dope. he should sit at least 3 weeks to stay on the safe side

i wanted to get KPJ when he got recalled from g league but with @goldb hot on my heels i didn't want to take a gamble

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

I'm wondering if there is still hope to trade Meyer Leonard before the deadline, he have value as an expiring after all

 

[SirSamuel016]

They're currently saying 2 weeks. If you want to move him on...

 

[scav]

I wonder what the Rockets will want for PJ Tucker, he would be a good addition to the Heat

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

kinda suck that it's gonna ruin his MVP chance.

They were probably gonna give it to Giannis again anyway when Jokic, Embiid and LeBron are better candidates atm imo

 

[scav]

nah this year was Embiid turn. But now they might really give it to Lebron. I believe Lillard is the 2nd best candidate but he won't get it, dude just underrated

 

[SirSamuel016]

It'd be nice if LeBron won it but I feel that'd be partly this year partly "sorry we got it wrong last year". Dunno if Dame is 2nd best candidate, I think if the Nuggets keep on their roll then Jokic will definitely be up there but you're god damn right that Dame is underrated; CRIMINALLY underrated. Should've been the all-star MVP for that last shot because even without a clock going he still found a way to make it DAME TIME

 

[scav]

This got me thinking about the Blazers, they really need to move CJ. he's good but not the best fit for Dame. A CJ for Ben Simmons trade would benefit both team

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

problem with CJ is defense

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

Also they should give up on Nurkic and maybe pursue Horford. They need a big who can stay healthy, not one made of glass

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

@goldb you should've gave Kyle another chance, on sunday

 

[Hardy]

Simmons is much more valuable than CJ though, even more considering he didn't play much with Embiid for the 76ers to be sure to commit to something else. Not sure what Portland can do to become contenders, maybe it's impossible lol.

 

[scav]

CJ, Dame combo just ain't it. lack of defense. Nurkic also need to be traded, even if he comeback this season Kanter have been better. It's no coincidence they been doing better since nurk went down. Dude would need to play lot of game to get in season shape, considering he was also injured last year

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

Maybe they gon' get a solid season from Nurkic next year, but i just don't see it happening this year.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

lmao i just read Nurkick got a calf injury now. Dude can't catch a break, how the hell you get a calf injury while rehabing from a wrist injury

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

I put embiid back in IR

 

[Hardy]

I guess I don't regret not trading for him anymore '-'

And nooooo Haku took Hunter, was grabbing him tomorrow

 

[scav]

well he'll be here for the bracket, that's what matter

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

why? is hunter coming back? i believe he'll be out for 1 or 2 week at least

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021 ---

then he'll need a week at least to get back into season shape

 

[Hardy]

I evidently like to stash guys lol

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

Already salty I couldn't keep timelord.

 

[scav]

your team is too good, so obv you're losing whenever you shuffle.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 13, 2021, Original Post Date: Mar 13, 2021 ---

well if you have a warm IR spot, interested in KD?
won't get you point this month but solid for bracket

 

[M3J]

The league won't let me trade, says all my players are locked, so I can't drop one or two. :\

Are you trying to add free agents?

 

[M3J]

Are you trying to add free agents?

no, I have to drop two players because I'm trading my IR player for two players

 

[scav]

It might help some. Good luck for the 2nd half

man Melo and Kanter carried me hard last week against bob, viva Portland

 

[goldb]

Man, can't believe I had 19000 and still lost. So many players under performed on that last day but it would've been worse had Embiid been healthy.

This is my bye week, so all focus is on next week
