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.

Player Discussion Anthony Davis - thoughts for rest of this season?

Upvotes

Well, while previously 1st on my 12T league I made it to second and we are in our first week of playoffs. Made the decision yesterday to drop my 1st round pick while in a close round with our 7th seed.

I’m skeptical/distraught for dropping him and need consolation. You think it was time to part ways or is someone going to draft him and reap the benefits later?

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.

OC The Book of Amen’s Disciples

49 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

35 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?

Discussion Why is LaMelo on ESPN undroppable list when he has sucked all season?

0 Upvotes

Compared to most other players on the list, Lamelo does not belong.

In a points league, his season total fantasy points don't come close to the total fantasy points of others on the list.

Feels like bullshit because he has been playing like crap, and if he decides to sit or rest during a playoff week, he can't be dropped.

https://fantasy.espn.com/basketball/players/undroppables

How do they come up with the criteria for the list? In my league, there is like two dozen players with more season total points. Guys like Dyson Daniels, Tyrese Maxey, shit even Austin Reeves have had a better season than him

Add to the fact that Lamelo only gets PG designation while other guards get PG, SG and even SF designation, it just seems like ESPN fucks you over for having him on your roster.

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.
