NBA [NBA] 2021-22 Real Dream Team

[TheRednWhite]

Let's see if Lebron plays tomorrow on a b2b. If he plays then he might play all 4. I just want a player who plays 4 games and is not a spud

Also hope Gobert is ok to play tomorrow otherwise it's likely another forced trade to add to AD and SGA

 

[Freo_4eva]

743 in the end, lets see the rank drop when it comes out.

Forgot i have the three blokes playing only 2 games which makes things even more of a dumpster fire.

AD, Nembhard and Anderson gotta go. If i have to put up with Durant and Haliburton only having 2 games for a week them so be it. Hali's got a few good weeks coming up after this, so a light week might actually give him a mini freshen

 

[Freo_4eva]

Rank 37

 

[TheRednWhite]

dropped 10 spots to rank 23

Just realised that Jokic is centre only...so now I hope Gobert misses so I can trade him to Jokic. Nothing surer than him playing all 4 and outscoring Jokic if I do make that trade however.

With Shai out tomorrow - and knowing him, could well be more. I can see the cockroach Kyle Anderson sticking around

Initial thoughts

Shai>Brunson
AD>Embiid(C)
Nembhard>Harden
Trey Murphy>Knox with the boost

Anderson the worst guy left at SF. The other combo was holding Shai and getting Lebron for Anderson and going Duren at C as the last rookie on field

I like the Embiid pick. He has no b2b games this week so that's a positive

Can't get Jokic if Gobert plays so Embiid is one guy who could at least come close to Jokic over 4 games

 

[TheRednWhite]

SGA is playing…a bit annoying since I had locked in SGA to Harden.

Gobert still questionable. I’ve got no idea on trades now

 

[Tso1967]

Now i'm on

Doncic 4 Holiday 4
SGA 3 Harden 4
Jokic 3
Edwards 3 Hardaway/Okogie 4
Mobley 3 Banchero 3

Still rubbish overall. Up 10 to 362

 

[Tso1967]

Gobert out

 

[TheRednWhite]

Gobert out

That makes Jokic a possibility. Jokic 3 vs Embiid 4 is tough, I did have Embiid as a captain option. Jokic on form is a captain on 3 games as well though

Giannis no good for captain due to poor form and Doncic has injury worries

So far it's:
Gobert to Embiid
AD to Grimes
Smart to Harden
Murphy III to someone under 10.6m

Can't get rid of Spudaway Jr even with a boost so he is on the bench. Dare I field him again and cash up for next week?

Spudaway is out. I'm playing Okogie now.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Spudaway is out. I'm playing Okogie now.

Nice upgrade!

 

[TheRednWhite]

Yeah Okogie in and cash up for next week, why not. Maybe the suns have a few more mares to allow Okogie to get more game time. Also gives me a small chance for Jokic next week with 6.3m in the bank. With no more boosts left, cash in the bank will be key

AD > Grimes
Gobert > Embiid
Smart > Harden
Murphy III > Okogie

Doncic 4 SGA 3
Harden 4 Okogie 4
Embiid 4 (C)
Edwards 3 Grimes 4
Greek 4 (VC) Tatum 3

I've got enough ceiling players to cover some dud scores at least. Doncic, Harden, Embiid and Greek all 120s hopefully to carry the 50s from Edwards, Okogie and Grimes

Anyone else screwed for next week? I realise I have ONE player (Edwards) on 4 games next week before trades

 

[Freo_4eva]

Cant believe there are THREE of us on the Okogie train haha

AD>Embiid(C)
Nemb>Harden
Anderson>Okogie
SGA>Brunson

Im still trading SGA for the extra 6mil and extra game which hopefully means Brunson can basically match him

 

[TheRednWhite]

Luka ejected on 17 ffs

 

[Freo_4eva]

Okogie going well

 

[TheRednWhite]

Last week Okogie played about 20 minutes a game and averaged 20 points....

The first game I get from him this week: 10 minutes for 3 points....in a game the suns had control all the way through. You just cannot script this. 2 minutes in the entire second half!!!

Spudaway Jr missed a game today but watch him score 75 on my bench this week

 

[Tso1967]

Okogie looked uncomfortable after heading to the sideline in the second half, and the team ruled him out shortly after. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury comes to light.

Great....

Now I'm uncomfortable

 

[Freo_4eva]

haha.. of course..crazy how you can pick some random scrub from about 300 choices for a week and he gets injured

 

[TheRednWhite]

7/218 today

Embiid (C) decent
Giannis already matches last week's total
Edwards surprisingly good
SGA good

After going with dud midpricers Smart and Spudaway last week, I decided to go premo + rookie in good form this week. The premo Harden spudded and the rookie Okogie injured apparently. The punishment in this game is unreal

 

[Freo_4eva]

Its more annoying, the fact that todays game he would have been primed to get 20+ mins as they were basically cruising from early to end

Doesnt the bloke know he became relevant for the first/last time in his career

 

[Tso1967]

8/197 Harden

He decided to be pants from usual.

Okogie with b2b so can't see him playing tomorrow

 

[TheRednWhite]

The annoying this is I didn't even need to chase rookies on 4 games. I have a perfectly good rookie riding the pine in Kessler who I was too afraid to field on his run of 3 games....a run in which he has gone 60-70 consistently every week. I swear these players somehow know when people field them

But I'd rather burn a trade and cash on replacements like Smart, Spudaway and now Okogie . Can't wait to see how Grimes somehow turns into a spud tomorrow after 3 weeks of continual improvement

Grimes is at least a starter and pretty much 30mins no matter what.. i tried to get him instead but needed the extra bit to get Harden.. who stunk of course
