Would anybody be interested in Zaza?

 

[SAL]

No.

It's probably too early for the name change, but, once again, I am....The Cavern.

 

[Mikel]

You got a spot open for me?

 

[Mikel]

BTW, what do you do?

 

[SAL]

How do you think fantasy sports works exactly?

How do you think fantasy sports works exactly?

I've seen several versions:

- Like Fantasy Football on NFL.com and stuff like that
- Taking over a current NBA team and making changes on your way
- Drafting from all the NBA players and use that as a team

Isaiah Thomas > Isaiah Thomas

I'm overloaded on bigs, so I think working out a deal with you for a guard would be phenomenal. How about Tim Duncan for Kyrie Irving?

too extreme man. I love irving while Duncan is way too injury prone.

Duncan. Injury prone.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

I might actually just keep Duncan. I mean my team is raking in the blocks, and apparently you need like 7 bigs to be able to beat the team with Serge Ibaka on it in blocks.

Fuckin underestimate the value of Serge every year man.

 

[Mikel]

May I say, Kyrie Irving has better upside to him than Duncan. Duncan has Manu and Parker. And Irving can do more than Duncan. BTW Ghetto Anthony, Skip is a Bayless Bastard.


And just going by the real life NBA, don't know much of what you guys are doing here.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

This isn't a keeper league, so upside doesn't mean shit. He's more valuable fantasy wise regardless, with him scoring more, getting more assists, threes, steals, better FG%, etc...

Plus, Duncan doesn't play back to backs.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

Disagree. Duncan is more valuable in this league as Kyrie pretty much only provides serious scoring meanwhile Duncan gets you a respectable amount of rebounds and blocks given a sometimes limited amount of playtime. Plus the Spurs can't really afford to bench Duncan a whole lot with such a competitive division. He plays back-to-backs, he's just limited in minutes. He gets a full game of rest in back-to-back-to-backs and the occasional random game off (last night).

Although Kyrie's %'s are to die for.
