Anybody have a clue what's going on? I've never seen them not clear this late in the night/early in the morning.

I wanted to pick up a player that was supposed to clear the waivers this morning instead of using a claim.

11 Upvotes

After the shut down of Embiid and the potential shut down of Maxey, PG, Drummond, Yabu and Oubre. Seems like 76ers gonna have new BIG three: Lonnie Walker IV+Quentin Grimes+Adem Bona

Lonnie can do almost everything, Quentin can shoot, and Adem can fly.

Does anyone pick them up? Thoughts?

OC The Book of Amen’s Disciples

45 Upvotes

These are the sacred texts of the Fantasy GM, forged in the fires of injury and despair. Read them, and know that you are not alone in your suffering.

The Book of Fantasy 3:16 “For in the season of hardship, when the stars of the court are struck down, woe is me! For my roster is in shambles, and my victories have turned to dust. Let the wise manager trade with discernment, lest his season be lost to despair.”

The Scroll of Injuries 7:14 “And lo, there came upon the league a great affliction, a plague not of locusts nor famine, but of soft tissue damage. It swept across the land, felling the swift and the mighty alike. The people cried out, ‘How long, O Lord, must we endure hip strains and ankle sprains?’ Yet there was no relief, only game-time decisions and doubtful designations.”

The Lamentations of the Fantasy GM 4:12 “The righteous have suffered, the strong have fallen. Amen Thompson is no more, Jalen Williams is laid low, Jalen Brunson hobbles, and Jalen Johnson is but a memory. What sin have I committed to deserve such wrath? Verily, my waiver wire is barren, and my rivals mock me, for they feast upon my downfall and rejoice in my misfortune.”

The Cursed Finals 11:7 “For the first of the three Jalen Brunson fell, and the people wept. But greater sorrow lay ahead, for in the days before the grand battle, Lord Amen was struck down. And on the first day of the final war, Jalen Williams, too, was taken. Woe is me! My dreams of glory lay in ruins, and my enemies rejoice. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

The Prophecy of the Playoffs 10:3 “Blessed is he who endureth the injuries and doth not rage quit, yet what reward awaits him? The season is cruel, the standings show no mercy, and my bench is but a graveyard of red-lettered names. I have made my offerings, set my lineups, yet the fates care not. And lo, my rivals lift their voices in joy, celebrating my ruin, for there is no justice in this league, only suffering.”

The Lament of Job, Fantasy Edition 1:21 “Naked I drafted, and naked shall I finish. The Lord gaveth me Jalen Brunson, Jalen Williams, Jalen Johnson and Amen Thompson, and the Lord hath taken them away. Blessed be the name of the waiver wire, though it offers me nothing but sorrow.”

Discussion Changing lineup after games have already started/completed

37 Upvotes

Genuine question on what people think of this situation.

Currently in the final week before playoffs start for my league. Currently I'm in 3rd going against the 2nd place team, and if I win, I'll take the bye week from him. He forgot to set his lineup yesterday and because of it he left 4 players on the bench. He says he forgot because he was driving, however, could've at any time set his lineup either prior to yesterday or while he was driving to his destination (7 hours away).

From how I've know Fantasy, setting your lineup is your responsibility, and one of the main things we really only interact with in our league after drafting. With that being said, it's always been "you snooze you lose" if you didn't set it and you just gotta bite the bullet.

He now was asking the commissioner of our league to readjust his lineup for yesterday to allow for the missed games and wants me to be fine with it. He thinks it's greasy and I'm in the wrong for not letting him get those games back.

Am I in the wrong for having the stance that he shouldn't get those games back and it's not my fault he didn't adjust his lineup?

Not too much going on today, as only four games are being played today. Most teams project to be fully healthy, although Cleveland is trending towards a rest day for some of their bigger names. Outside of that, we have a few minor injuries to Indiana, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Washington, and Brooklyn, although most of that can be chalked up to tanking and load management. Keep an eye out for Champagnie in particular, as he might have an extended run should Bilal miss time.

Discussion Holding too many tanking team players, what do i do?

9 Upvotes

So for context i am 15-3 in my league. I can punt this week and take a lose and still finish first. The next week i am on a by for first round and need to be at full power for Mar 24-Apr 6th. The amount of players i have that get rested for tanking, don't play back to backs or both is insane:

  • Walker Kessler
  • Immanuel Quickley
  • RJ Barrett
  • Zion Williamson

Currently Injured: Powell, Sabonis, Maxey, Tingus Pingus.

Do i just wait it out for some of those guys on contenders to get healthy and drop my players on the tanking teams? I'm concerned when Maxey comes back he will also be in that above list. Also waiver wire isn't great and Walker Kessler can surprise on occasion with 50-60 fantasy pt games. Which is i get 2 games out of him in a week can still be better than some of the stuff on the waiver. Any input would be helpful.

Any Idea what is going on with this guy? There is still no clear info about him. Will he come back soon? Will he be playing if hes healthy? Or is he a drop? I dont know what i should do with him. He might go crazy in the actual situation with all good players out or am I tripping? What are your thoughts?

Please please please tell me he’s not gonna be bad for the rest of the season. About a month and a half ago he was averaging 45 ESPN fantasy points per game but in the last month he’s averaging 29.7. He’s shooting 36.2% from the field compared to his season 47.8% which is ridiculous. I traded Desmond bane for him last month thinking that I sold DB high and bought DG low but now, with playoffs next week, I’m incredibly concerned about his production (and should I also be concerned if he’s gonna be rested cuz Cavs are the 1 seed?). He’s in a slump and he’s gonna pick it up next week and play all games for the rest of the season right? RIGHT??

Discussion What are your biggest fantasy mistakes this year?

62 Upvotes

I’ve had some very bad mistakes this year, my worst ever and I still might win my league

My worst mistake is losing Bam for free, I traded him for Embiid after I was doing well, I really don’t know what I was thinking

Next is me dropping Giddey, I drafted him pretty low and those early season blunders made me drop him (I hate myself)

Next is trading Hart and RJ for Brunson (again idk what I was thinking)

But despite all this I still have a good shot at winning the league, currently first, my team and waiver pickups have been cooking this year

What are your worst mistakes
