Paul Millsap and Dwayne Wade are pissing me off in my fantasy league...

[EveryManALion]

Sitting out WAYYYY too much. Who would be a better replacement for Millsap, Tristan Thompson or Shawn Marion? Tristan has better points and rebound and minutes stats but Marion has more steals, blocks and 3-pointers made.

Also, Drop Dwayne Wade for Affalo? Or JJ Reddick Instead of Wade? Millsap and Wade are letting me down. I am 3-0 in my league and want it to stay that way. Ha. And im posting here because rarely does anyone reply to the "fantasy" thread section.

I would have stayed away from Wade. They are going to take it easy on him all season. He needs to be healthy for the playoffs.

I know it was my stupidity I just saw him still available in the fourth round and went for it and now regretting it big time.

The thing about Wade is that you will bench him or cut him, and then he will have a 20+ point monster game.

Yea I have a couple SG's left, I am debating dropping him for Jamaal Crawford, JJ Reddick or Kyle Korver, though I do not know if Korvers hot start is a ruse?

[G-train]

Unless you are in a 4 team league you shouldn't be cutting either derp

:wtf: Those guys are free agents in your league or do you already own them?

[EveryManALion]

It is only a 6 man league.


JJ, Jamaal and Korver are free agents. So is Tristin Thompson and Nikola Pekovic. I am thinking about dropping Millsap and Wade for two of those listed above.

Korver is top 40 in fantasy and he will finish that way by the end of the year.

Depends on your team needs. If you need 3s and a small mix of other stats, he's your man.

Who else is in your team? Pekovic could be handy too.

[EveryManALion]

Right now my full team is-

Jeff Teague
John Wall
Chris Bosh
D.Wade
Kevin Durant
Paul Millsap
David Lee
Jeremy Lin
Kevin Martin
Marc Gasol
Andre Drummond
Nic Batum
Spencer Hawes


Any suggestions are welcome. Like I said I am 3-0 in my 6 man league but I play the second best dude next week..... they are all my neighbors so this is kind of serious to me as I have to deal with them on a weekly basis ha.

That is funny :lol

Your team is pretty close to unbeatable.

I'd go Lin or Wade out, Korver In. You need more 3s in that team. Only thing is, Wade is top 20 talent when he plays, but if you take into account the amount of times he doesn't play or he is affected by injury it all adds up.

Hmm, maybe look to trade Wade for another PG guard? Other thing you could do is keep Lin and trade wade out for Korver, but you definately need Korver.

I have Korver in more than half of my 8 leagues. I'm sitting top 4 in 7 of them and top 8 in all of them ATM.

[fsvr54]

John Wall and Beal were benched today for me :facepalm

When I went to check, the game had already started

Yea I think I am going to drop Wade for Korver, Jrue Holiday is still up for grabs but I havent picked him up due to J.Lin playing good. Should I drop Lin for Holiday now or wait to see how Holiday plays with the new team longer?

Any other suggestions? Should I drop Millsap or anyone for Pek or Tristin Thompson?

Thank you SO much for the help BTW

[TylerOO]

Trade Wade while you can, he is gonna rest a lot of games this year

[EveryManALion]

Oh and should I hang onto Millsap if I do that? if so I will have 3 hawks on my team...This is only my second year playing fantasy, is it best to spread players out per team or no?

[poido123]

3 isn't too bad, I wouldn't do more than 3 though. Plus Atlanta should do ok from a success standpoint.

Hell yes. Lin for holiday is a good idea and drop wade for korver. Holiday will only get better as he gels with the team...

Ok, that makes sense. Anyways, I would keep Wade on my squad. You already have a lot of high scoring players. Picking up JJ or Crawford won't really add to your other categories. Wade gives you steals, blocks, etc. I would recommend picking up Pekovic though.

[EveryManALion]

Drop who for Pek?

[ihoopallday]

Drop who for Pek?

You have a very good team so it's kinda hard but I'd drop either Millsap or Drummond for him. But the more I look at it, you're probably better off just sticking with your current squad. :lol Wish I had your problem

He definitely is.

[EveryManALion]

Well what should I do about Wade though? He is going to keep sitting out a lot of games all season.

Plus he said his knees are only 70 percent in an interview earlier today ha:/

Like I've learned the hard way in fantasy sports, you don't get rid of superstars because they aren't playing out how you expected. Be patient and they'll come through when you need them most. Wade can put up numbers in 1 night that'll take other players 3 nights to replicate.

Alright ill trust you ha what should I do about the Jeremy Lin for Jrue Holiday trade? Think Lin will cool off and Holiday get hot?

No way. In my opinion, Lin is the leader of that Rockets squad. He's way more consistent than Jrue. Definitely keep him. You have great players at every position. Let me know how great your team is doing in a few weeks. :cheers:

[longtime lurker]

Haha jokes on you for drafting Wade! Seriously trade him while you can get some value for him. And pull the triGger on the Lin for Holiday trade if you're the guy getting Holiday.

Yea id be getting holiday. and I still dont know what to do about wade ha:/ I play in a H2H points league does that make a difference? Kyle Korver is WAY more consistent in giving me 30+ points(Fantasy points) per game than Wade has been this season so that is why im up in the air still about Wade. Same with Lin. The past week Lin has been far more consistent than Jrue. I guess consistency seems to matter more than huge games in my league for some reason on a weekly basis.

[EveryManALion]

And would you give up Chris Bosh for Tristin Thompson In a h2h points league. Bosh is now a glorified role player on the Heat even though he is still a great player all around.

Post the rest of your team. In a points league Holiday will be up and down because of his shooting and turnovers. Wade is valuable because of his high fg%(I'm assuming u get penalized for low %) wade is waaay to good to drop for korver, but I'd pick up korver anyways for insurance.

But Wade sits out SO much, it has already cost me the past 3 nights(He only came into the CHA game because Mario Chalmers got ejected) and I have already done the averages and korver will get me 5 more fantasy points nightly compared to Wade AND will play every night barring injury. That's my only issue and why this is not resolved ha. Or I can drop Wade, wait til one of the other teams drops a good SG to pick up Wade then steal that SG from the Waiver Wire haha.


On Wade- He sat out on Tuesday, the first half of a back-to-back set, but traveled with the team to Orlando and may be a game-time decision. "I'm 70 percent [healthy] and some days 75," Wade said. "Hopefully the [shock wave knee therapy] I got this summer will take over a little more and the discomfort will go a way a little more." That doesn't sound like an issue which will resolve itself with an occasional game off, and according to beat writer Joseph Goodman, "[Wade] isn't expected to fully recover from the procedure for several more months."

The reason you are dropping Wade is because of his unreliability, not that he can't put up good fantasy numbers.

I forgot to ask you, what league are you in? Daily or Weekly? And how many reserve slots do you have? That makes all the difference. If you have say 3 reserve slots and you play weekly, its worth keeping wade. If you are playing a daily league and every day wade is missing counts, he is worth cutting.

H2h Points, weekly with 3 reserve spots.

Shit, that makes it real hard to drop Wade, but you can drop Lin.

I know Lin is playing well now, but he will be up and down all season, plus he is in a timeshare with Patrick Beverley. Lin will have a week here and there where he gets limited minutes because he turns the ball over and he is a lesser defender than Patrick, plus his stats aren't all that great.

It's your choice man. I would much rather have Holliday and korver than Wade and Lin.

Korver will give you that boost in 3s, Holliday will be somewhere near Wade in the second half of year stats wise, plus you won't have to worry about pre game sit outs and extended rests which Wade does have.

Anyways, hope that helps. Once you do this, your team is pretty much sit back and watch :pimp:
