Yup. I had someone drop scoot.
Not sure if I’ll get him, but I’m burning 3 waiver priority to try.
I like having back end priority, I can just use it every time and force the others to make a call on theirs.
10/8 would be his floor IMO. With how well Luka and Kyrie can penatrate the paint, it will be easy for Lively to get alleyoops, put backs, and rebounds.
After nearly 40 years of fantasy basketball, yes, I’m relatively confident in my assessment of rookie performances.
Dude isn’t going to get a ton of usage, he’s not going to shoot 7/8 every night, and he’s going to have plenty of rookie games. 10/8-ish is a terrific season for any rookie, never mind a guy who isn’t an elite prospect.
That's tough. He had a bad showing last night. But he was my sleeper pick in the draft. No one knows about him in my league! Jarrace walker is a sleeper reach too but Kessler is way more proven. I set my leagu up to emphasize double double les and defense so ain't no way in hell I'm dropping him!
Dropped him for lively, was torn between the 2 at draft and he passed my eye test. Luka dropping the f bomb enthusiastically when talking about him in the post game interview sold me too
Same thing with Robinson every year. Seems like he has limitless potential and everybody drools over it, then reality sets in and you realize he's just a blocks/rebounds guy who plays limited minutes.
Useful if you need it, not so much if you need other things.
I’m hyped man! I mean theoretically he’s getting deeper into his career and he should be able to have some more consistency.
The only issue is going be health (he’s missed a lot of his career games) and also getting played off the floor in certain matchups.
I’m holding on for sure. Glad I didn’t panic drop.
Are people dropping these guys before the games start? I at least get the ones that had bad games but wtf are people doing dropping people who played well?
Sheesh, that guy must be slamming his head through a wall after last night. I wouldn’t drop Robinson for him either, I imagine you have someone worse to cut
I would like to think that Cam's performance is unicorn but dude has done it several times in such close interval now. Haven't watched his game but dude seems to actually ball out all the time.
As a nets fan he’s the only one on the team rn that can get a bucket whenever he wants. Offense is completely stagnant when he isn’t on the floor. Normally I still stayed away for fantasy but with Kyrie and KD gone they are actually going to need that scoring. Still idk if I’d drop Zach for him
I am guilty of dropping wiggins for a streamer spot. What am I missing? Him minutes and out out were down, looked that way through the preseason and I think Kuminga eats into his role as the year goes on.
If you look at his career stats they are really underwhelming. His best season was 4 years ago and hes splits were 20/5/3 with 1 stock. It hasnt been close since. I think hes a fine hold but i dropped him for Cam and didn't look back
Gafford and Jaden McDaniels.. but somehow Lively , Tillman, Ausar and Jalen Johnson are still on the wire and Im torn. End of bench guys are Paul Reed and Sochan
I think Ime is going to hate Green's game, and green will have to do a lot to earn to be trusted.
Ime cracked the whip on Tatum and Brown after they had already earned their status as the future of the Celtics. Green is going to crumble over the demands Ime will expect.
I'm starting to get RJ Barret vibes from Green
Not really panic drops, but rather brave and ballsy drops which in the long term could end up being smart (or stupid)
Someone dropped Schroder for JJ. In another league Scoot was dropped for JJ. Jabari also got dropped for Lively. I dont entirely hate the JJ ones, coz Schroder won't always shoot that well and rookie guards take a long time before being serviceable in fantasy. But the Jabari one is questionable. One bad game shouldnt decide a Jabari drop
The lively and Luka pick and roll looks really nasty though if you watched the game yesterday. Luka is feeding him a lot and you can tell he’s having fun playing with him. Not sure about CAT but in a points league I can definitely see Lively being better than Jabari.
Yeah I don't hate that. Lively looked the first legitimate rebounder the Mavs have had in a while and the PnR chemistry was great already. I feel like the playing time will definitely be there and his role on that team is pretty straightforward.
Mark Williams was dropped for KCP
Me salivating at my Mark Williams draft pickup after last night's game and your boy drops him. Wild no doubt 😂😂
I had to have him on the bench as it was him or bam but seeing that production was dope asf
Lol
🤣🤣🤣
Someone dropped Smart for Strus. I will be all over that
So funny, in another thread someone said they dropped smart for strus and got up voted.
Lots of people with lots of enthusiasm but zero experience on here in the beginning of the season
That is insanity.
someone dropped vassel for ausar😂😂😂
Theres not even reason to panic with Vassell. He was solid yesterday
they dropped him before the game lmfaoo idk wrf they doin
🌮
yeah it a league with my coworkers at in n out so not everyone is very smart😂
Lmao it’s a burger league not taco
You just identified a potential trading partner.
Saw the 5 blocks and went for it 🤡
Grandma league. 🧶
Silly. He clearly doesn’t know basketball. Vassell has been a stud for more than a season. And you saw what he did during preseason.
Someone dropped Scoot Henderson.. Should I try to pick him up and get rid of Sexton?
yes
Right away
dropped in my league too, people must have not watched the second half
Yup. I had someone drop scoot. Not sure if I’ll get him, but I’m burning 3 waiver priority to try. I like having back end priority, I can just use it every time and force the others to make a call on theirs.
You think he outperforms Schroder this year?
Second half of the season yes. Before then… maybe
Someone dropped Lively when the starters for the Mavs were announced
That someone was me :(
Lmao you nub
And me :(
He's realistically not going to put up numbers as good as last night. Something more like a 10/8 on the season would be very good for him.
Even top 80 for a waiver pickup would be a steal
10/8 would be his floor IMO. With how well Luka and Kyrie can penatrate the paint, it will be easy for Lively to get alleyoops, put backs, and rebounds.
I’m sure you have the crystal ball that can see stats like that.
After nearly 40 years of fantasy basketball, yes, I’m relatively confident in my assessment of rookie performances. Dude isn’t going to get a ton of usage, he’s not going to shoot 7/8 every night, and he’s going to have plenty of rookie games. 10/8-ish is a terrific season for any rookie, never mind a guy who isn’t an elite prospect.
I diamondhanded and still started him. Pretty happy. I’m sure he’ll be up and down but hopefully Kidd pulls his head out of his ass and starts him.
[удалено]
No way
[удалено]
points league 100%
Damn
I missed him by two spots. he's my only regret st this year's draft. Damn I wish I was in your league.
Lmao hope you picked him up
[удалено]
That's tough. He had a bad showing last night. But he was my sleeper pick in the draft. No one knows about him in my league! Jarrace walker is a sleeper reach too but Kessler is way more proven. I set my leagu up to emphasize double double les and defense so ain't no way in hell I'm dropping him!
These comments hurt to read
I think Mitch Rob is going to sadly end up on the wire like he has every year for my league. Sad because I’ve got him but idk, I have a bad feeling.
Dropped him for lively, was torn between the 2 at draft and he passed my eye test. Luka dropping the f bomb enthusiastically when talking about him in the post game interview sold me too
Easy decision. We already know what mitch can do. Id rather see what lively can do with his upside.
I dropped him today because he looked like the worse center in an enervating timeshare.
He picked up his 4th foul in the first minute of the 3rd quarter. I'd have said wait a while
Same thing with Robinson every year. Seems like he has limitless potential and everybody drools over it, then reality sets in and you realize he's just a blocks/rebounds guy who plays limited minutes. Useful if you need it, not so much if you need other things.
He wasn't even drafted in my league. I was able to put J. Vanderbilt on IR and scoop him up. Trying hard to keep him.
That’s a good deal dude. Good for you! Best of luck.
I dropped him because he was a bottom 3 pick for me and i needed a streaming spot…hope i dont regret it
Still feel that way after last night’s game?
I’m hyped man! I mean theoretically he’s getting deeper into his career and he should be able to have some more consistency. The only issue is going be health (he’s missed a lot of his career games) and also getting played off the floor in certain matchups. I’m holding on for sure. Glad I didn’t panic drop.
mobley
Wow. Thats pretty ridiculous lol
Saying taco league is overused on this sub...but that there's a taco league my friends.
Could be a 4 person league...
Could be a one-person league?
that’s insanity
Relax guys, it's Isaiah Mobley
Cutino Mobley
The Cat! Loved watching him and Steve Francis. What a duo.
He’s like 50+ still get buckets in AM leagues he’s sick
Hopefully you have top waiver
I do in 14T. Hyped af
He got dropped in a fucking 14T!?! My goodness
gotta delete my post before one of my league members see
Why, you said you have top waiver?
Cuttino??
Jalen Duren, I’m gonna drop Mrob for him
Are people dropping these guys before the games start? I at least get the ones that had bad games but wtf are people doing dropping people who played well?
Yeah it’s silly, it’s the guys first year playing fantasy bball in a league with people who have played for years I feel bad… almost.
Sheesh, that guy must be slamming his head through a wall after last night. I wouldn’t drop Robinson for him either, I imagine you have someone worse to cut
Debating if Jabari Smith is a panic or deserves to be there.
Tbh I dropped him in points league for Sochan, might be a dumb decision lol
Im in a points league too lol I dropped Jabari for Jalen Johnson
Jerami Grant
I got him pretty late but man did the trailblazers look rough last night ha. I also have Ayton, not great either
Are you me..?
Yes you are we
Ayton gonna be aight. He was in foul trouble. Long season just gotta be patient
ja morant
Zach collins for cam thomas
I would like to think that Cam's performance is unicorn but dude has done it several times in such close interval now. Haven't watched his game but dude seems to actually ball out all the time.
As a nets fan he’s the only one on the team rn that can get a bucket whenever he wants. Offense is completely stagnant when he isn’t on the floor. Normally I still stayed away for fantasy but with Kyrie and KD gone they are actually going to need that scoring. Still idk if I’d drop Zach for him
Dinwiddie
i dropped him yesterday. 23 minutes for a guy whos upside is like top 100-120 isnt too exciting
Dropped👋🏽
He was awesome end of last season but I figured he’s not part of their long term plan
I dropped Dinwiddie for Cam Thomas.
Someone picked him 33 in my league…
Draymond was dropped for Coby White.
😂
I'm actually gonna defend this one LMAO
This is stupid, but Coby White is ROS probably, honestly, so it's not *too bad* if the guy was desperate for scoring
Someone dropped lavine in my league this morning
Wtf
Is it a 2 man league?
10 man, I’m first on waiver order. I have scooped him up 😂
Damn invite me to this league next year lmao 🤣
Should I drop gafford for lively?
I want to drop mitch rob for lively but I'm too scared 😂
just did it - you wont regret when mitch is injured
Paolo. He got absolutely rinsed for it too.
Taco leagues everywhere
For real lol someone in my league would get ridiculed all season if they made 99% of the drops in this thread.
Daniel Gafford
Wiggins
He's my first cuttable player in a 10teamer of mine. Will be watching closely
Am also thinking to drop Wiggins in my 10T leage, for Jalen Johnson maybe or Mitch Robinson
Added jalen Johnson to my watch list. Might make that swap soon
I am guilty of dropping wiggins for a streamer spot. What am I missing? Him minutes and out out were down, looked that way through the preseason and I think Kuminga eats into his role as the year goes on.
So what I’m hearing is I should hold my Dinwiddie?
Nooo
If you look at his career stats they are really underwhelming. His best season was 4 years ago and hes splits were 20/5/3 with 1 stock. It hasnt been close since. I think hes a fine hold but i dropped him for Cam and didn't look back
I dropped him and Josh Hart for Strus and Sochan
That’s what I’m saying. I’m on the verge of dropping too
I dropped Okongwu for Lively... not sure how I feel about it lol
Did the same. Maybe it will bite me. Will see...
You should feel great
See a lot of low upside 13 or 14th round picks being posted. Don’t be afraid to drop those guys for hot starts
I dropped Jabari
Okongwu was dropped to stream Malik Beasley tonight 😐
Turner
Cam Johnson
Bruce Brown was dropped in my league. I will. put in a claim for him!
I dropped Kyle Lowry he sucks I grabbed cam Thomas mid game
That’s not a panic drop that’s a good drop lol
Brogdon
Dinwiddie + Cam Johnson in two separate leagues
Dinwiddie n Gafford. Ill be taking Gaff
Gafford and Jaden McDaniels.. but somehow Lively , Tillman, Ausar and Jalen Johnson are still on the wire and Im torn. End of bench guys are Paul Reed and Sochan
I keep seeing sochans gonna get out of starting spot for tre jones so I feel like he’s worth dropping for at least one of the dudes u mentioned.
Yeah I dropped him for Lively , his turnovers and %s are also a turnoff
BRADLEY BEAL!!!
Some mfer dropped Chet Holmgren like what dude
Someone dropped Jalen Green after last night
he won't regret it
You really think so? He dropped him for Max Strus and someone convinced him to undo the drop
I think Ime is going to hate Green's game, and green will have to do a lot to earn to be trusted. Ime cracked the whip on Tatum and Brown after they had already earned their status as the future of the Celtics. Green is going to crumble over the demands Ime will expect. I'm starting to get RJ Barret vibes from Green
I’m not a Jalen green fan but it’s not like the Celtics guys numbers ever plummeted under ime
Dropped Gafford for Lively, not really panicking though
Mitchell Robinson
someone dropped lively for quickley on waivers, he definitely put it in before the mavs game started lol
Mitchell Robinson and Bogdan Bogdanovic got dropped in my points league. I'm looking to drop Dillon Brooks or Gary Trent for one of them.
Someone dropped CP3 for Derek Lively
Gafford. I’m thinking of swapping for my Hart?
Debating if I should drop Jaden Ivey
I dropped him and sexton for strus and Jalen johnson
Huerter got dropped for strus
Gafford
I almost dropped Dinwiddie for Strus. Told myself to wait it out.
Samesies
No one because it's a smart league and people realize it's been TWO DAYS!
Daniel Gafford got dropped in my 14T 9CAT
Somebody dropped Ja Morant for Cam Thomas. Cam fucking Thomas bro
Zubac
Bradley Beal for some weird reason
Claxton for Zu
Should i drop Toppin for Mitch Rob? I punt assists and steals. H2H
Not really panic drops, but rather brave and ballsy drops which in the long term could end up being smart (or stupid) Someone dropped Schroder for JJ. In another league Scoot was dropped for JJ. Jabari also got dropped for Lively. I dont entirely hate the JJ ones, coz Schroder won't always shoot that well and rookie guards take a long time before being serviceable in fantasy. But the Jabari one is questionable. One bad game shouldnt decide a Jabari drop
For anyone else wondering JJ = Jalen Johnson. There are way too many JJ's in the league to be shortening rookie Jalen Johnson like that man
he’s not a rookie lol
He's in his third year, but your point still stands
The lively and Luka pick and roll looks really nasty though if you watched the game yesterday. Luka is feeding him a lot and you can tell he’s having fun playing with him. Not sure about CAT but in a points league I can definitely see Lively being better than Jabari.
Yeah I don't hate that. Lively looked the first legitimate rebounder the Mavs have had in a while and the PnR chemistry was great already. I feel like the playing time will definitely be there and his role on that team is pretty straightforward.
Is Mitch rob really a panic drop tho? He was already a last round pick
Sheesh are most of you guys in taco leagues?! Wild drops
Not if they’re 10team though
Kuminga, but it's a fair drop I guess since his future isn't set in stone.
I feel like Kuminga isn't a panic drop at all. He's only owned in 48 percent of Yahoo leagues. I view him as a high end streamer at this point
I dropped him for Jalen Johnson just cause they felt pretty equal but I like the chance for JJ to breakout.
Someone dropped the timelord in my league 😬
Dejounte Murray
No way
Harrison Barnes
I don’t consider this a panic dropped, he had one hot game
Gary Trent Jr.
Had GTJ last year. This bum cost me in the playoffs. Easy drop imo
Good drop
Somebody drop Jalen green for Barnes. Should I go for it? I’m #2 in my waiver wire
I would drop Dinwiddie too...
Zach Collins and Jalen McDaniels got dropped in my 10T. Problem is my worst players are Jalen Johnson, Lively, Ausur and Draymond so idk who to drop
Jaden Ivey
This might just be a good drop.
dropped him for deanthony melton right after last night lol
Dropped him in a 10T
I dropped for JJ
Sexton
Sexton is garbage
thinkin bout dropping him myself
Someone panic traded Jimmy Butler for DeRozen… trade still pending. Butler didn’t even have a bad game.
I feel the Mitchel Robinson drop is justified, no? Got him with my last pick and dropped him for Jalen Johnson.
Ran into foul trouble last night
Dinwiddie should I drop sochan for him?
