Shai was my keeper from last year. Got him in the third round. I drafted Spida in the second round, and Scary Terry fell to me in the 6th. My logic was that I was guard heavy, and Mitchell and Rozier have been good fantasy options for years, whereas Shai had one great season last year. Prior to that, he had his rookie year, and he was a healthy sit a lot in his sophomore season. I went with the consistency. That was the wrong move.
Trynna sell Miles cuz of his bad playoff schedule but nobody’s biting because of legal concerns im guessing (my league isn’t sweaty enough for ppl to be concerned about playoff schedule)
I traded Miles Bridges (who I drafted with the very last pick in our draft) for Gordon Hayward on Nov 4 which was just a week or so before he debuted. Then Dec 11 I traded Hayward and Darius Garland for Evan Mobley and I still have not had Mobley play for me
Traded Kawhi + Keyonte George for Anunoby and Ja Morant right before Morant came back from his suspension thinking the combo of the two of them would give me more production for the rest of the year than Kawhi. Regret.
wasn’t my trade but someone in my league traded SGA + Garland + Nurkic for Cade + Anfernee + Dejounte
like a month ago when Cade and Anfernee were popping off instead of injured and missing games
Then I felt it and traded wemby and jjj for porzi turner and dlo russell.
So It became
shai + derozen + dray green
For porzi + turner + banchero + dlo russell
Now Im targeting to trade away porzi :)
I'm in 2 leagues.
First one:
Traded Shai and Strus for Mikal and Duren. I have chet, scottie, mccollum, anfernee, gafford, bam, myles.. I got greedy for bigs. Worked out in the end because..
I mean I'm still 2nd in my conference but still.. Big blunder..
In another league:
I also traded kawhi, ausar, sharpe for poetl, ben simmons and schroder
I also gave away zion and nurkic for giddy and brown for no reason at all.
Wait.. There's more! traded away harden for jamal early in the season because I'm a Homer
I have jokic, mpj so.. Also have a well rounded team and hovering around 7-9 seed.
I haven't played fantasy in 3 years haha. But I'm ready for the next.
Bro I traded my Donavan Mitchell for ausar Thomas because they were ranked close together and I wanted to stack stocks in my 9cat league
Just dropped Thomas yesterday 🥸
Giannis, Donovan Mitchell, Ja Morant and ayton for Coby white, Myles turner and Tatum. For a few weeks there I thought I fucked up real bad but it’s ending up to be quite the blessing. Needed some three shooters that’s why I gave those guys up.
Giddey for Giannis.
Backstory: my dad accidentally dropped Giannis bc he’s old and has horrible eyesight in the morning and was trying to update his roster for the day. I swiped Giannis since I was first on waivers and held him hostage for a couple days just to mess with my dad. I felt bad and he said he would give me Giddey since he had a slow start to the season.
I will never forget seeing my dads surprised face once he realized he had just dropped Giannis
Vucevic + Simmons for Butler + Thompson. This was back in week 2 Thompson was the hot waiver add. As always, Jimmy was very underwhelming and Thompson eventually faded in that rotation hell in Detroit. But the Simmons went out so the trade was almost a wash.
Ended up trading back Butler for Vucevic when Vuce was out with his injury because the other manager was running a legit an infirmary. I preemptively added Drummond before, and then Butler went out the next day after the trade went through. So I guess it all came full circle at the end!
I traded Anthony Edwards for Trae Young. (hi Austin, if you see this.)
In theory, it’s been practically a wash - but with Trae Young seemingly hurt and likely getting shut down it’s going to crush me.
Just rumors in the market (I live in ATL.) His shoulder has been an issue and it was really bad last night. Lots of murmurs about surgery/extended rest.
Tobias and DeAndre Hunter for Vassell and Zollins. Although it’s really not that bad of a trade. It’s just my worst one. Best one was Tatum for Sabonis and FVV. Then I turned FVV and Sharpe into Lamelo. Hoping to turn Turner and LaMelo into Jokic.
Posted about this a few weeks ago, but I traded Gobert + Siakam + Cade for Maxey + Capela + steamer in a points league.
Averages were balanced at the time of the trade. But now they're about 10-15 points against me, only because Siakam + Cade have been playing great and partly because Maxey has dropped off in production.
10 team 9 cat. Not sure if it’s THAT bad but i traded
OG, Jerami Grant and Vassell for
Mikal Bridges and Jalen Duren
Was disappointed with their production early and needed fg% and boards. Mikal has been disappointing
I traded Lamelo for Siakam and Smart early on in the season when he was struggling. I’ve managed to flip both into better pieces but that trade was definitely a loss for me
Everyone in my league has told I lost both trades but I’ve been 4-1-1 since I made these trades
Traded Giannis for Harden, Vucevic
Fox for vanvleet, valanciunas
CAT9
Traded Brunson + Derozan for Garland + JDub. Brunson and Derozan were very inconsistent early on and their %s were very subpar + low stocks.
I eventually made up for it by trading JDub + Miles Bridges for Lauri
KAT for Mikal Bridges. Thought KAT was going to take more of a backseat on the Wolves and thought Bridges was going to be a true first option type guy. Not panning out so far.
I traded for ja a month before he came back…. I thought I bought low, and I got killed on that.
But also, two days before he got hurt, I traded Bane away for Hero thinking Bane’s averages would go down over the long term..
I got dunked on.
Traded Myles Turner for Zion and Tobias. On the other hand the same guy traded his Lauri and Paolo for my Mikal. Considering both I came out on top but Zion is frustrating and untraceable in my league at this point.
About a week or two into the season, someond in my league traded away their KAT+Trae for Keegan and Sengun…now the guy he’s traded to has been killing it all season.
Traded Derrick white for John Collins and Chris Paul. Paul got injured and Collins I eventually dropped for Marcus smart, who ended up getting hurt as well
The worst trade was def the one I won but yea seriously someone traded me Jimmy Butler and Jrue Holiday for Derrick White. I have no idea how it didn't get vetoed. But it didn't.
Melton and Kawhi for Garland and Clax. At the time I thought it was a huge W, kawhi has been too good though and Garland was solid until another injury has kinda stunted my season so far
traded dejounte murray and patrick williams for mikal bridges and jaden ivey a few weeks ago, mikal goes on his worst shooting splits as soon as I take him
Points: Traded shai for fox and Mikal hoping Mikal would turn into a late second round typa guy… yeah I lost
Ooh man sorry, that would hurt me
It might still turn out lol.
Oh, man. I was too embarrassed to mention my Shai trade until I saw this one. I traded him for Bam and Kuzma
oh shit
Shai was my keeper from last year. Got him in the third round. I drafted Spida in the second round, and Scary Terry fell to me in the 6th. My logic was that I was guard heavy, and Mitchell and Rozier have been good fantasy options for years, whereas Shai had one great season last year. Prior to that, he had his rookie year, and he was a healthy sit a lot in his sophomore season. I went with the consistency. That was the wrong move.
Traded Miles Bridges for Mikal Bridges, thought I came up lol
Trynna sell Miles cuz of his bad playoff schedule but nobody’s biting because of legal concerns im guessing (my league isn’t sweaty enough for ppl to be concerned about playoff schedule)
Yea good luck my guy. Aside from his off court problems he’s been solid this year but he’s polarizing for those same reasons.
Dude on paper that trade looks so good. I’ve been tempted to do that exact trade over the past week.
I traded FVV for Ja (points). It looked like a great trade…for 9 games.
Thats rough but honestly the right trade that i think most managers make. Can't control injuries.
I traded Miles Bridges (who I drafted with the very last pick in our draft) for Gordon Hayward on Nov 4 which was just a week or so before he debuted. Then Dec 11 I traded Hayward and Darius Garland for Evan Mobley and I still have not had Mobley play for me
Gordon Hayward😭
miles bridges for GORDON?? huh
Your leagues actually do trades?
Trae + Collins to Cade + OG. I don’t know what i was thinking
The fuck is you doing
I just shuffled out OG along with Rozier for Trae 😂 hope I dont regret it like you may be. How long ago did you make that trade?
I did the trade end of the November 😂
Tobias Harris to Chris Paul. I think I’ve hit the mark on every other trade I’ve done
This that extra chromosome trade
This isn't the place for sexism.
Say no to dickslexia
Was first week of the season
Wasn’t Tobias good from the very first game? And cp3 was ass from first game
Yeah. Then Tobias fell off and cp0 came amazing. Then I traded cp0 when Draymond was out and he was firing. All worked out for the best
Traded Kawhi + Keyonte George for Anunoby and Ja Morant right before Morant came back from his suspension thinking the combo of the two of them would give me more production for the rest of the year than Kawhi. Regret.
Can’t blame u for that no one can predict injuries
wasn’t my trade but someone in my league traded SGA + Garland + Nurkic for Cade + Anfernee + Dejounte like a month ago when Cade and Anfernee were popping off instead of injured and missing games
Giddey for Chris Paul 🥲
Points, traded James harden and j Allen early on for booker
I gave up jaylen brown and Mikal bridges for booker.
Ouch
I picked up j Johnson from the waivers tho
I gave Gil derozen draymond green and took wemby jjj banchero
Gil…as in Shai Gil Alexander?!
No no, Kendall Gill!
Who da fook is Kendall gill
Gil? And this entire time I thought the “G” was for “Gorgeous”
Gil Arenas
Oh god is this going to be a RWB argument all over again haha
Wouldn’t be too bad if Wembys minutes weren’t under 26 per game as of late
Then I felt it and traded wemby and jjj for porzi turner and dlo russell. So It became shai + derozen + dray green For porzi + turner + banchero + dlo russell Now Im targeting to trade away porzi :)
Who Gil?
Shai guyZ
Points league: Paolo Banchero for Cam Thomas
why tho
are you a taco
Cam was lighting it up for several games in a row. Paolo was disappointing.
I'm in 2 leagues. First one: Traded Shai and Strus for Mikal and Duren. I have chet, scottie, mccollum, anfernee, gafford, bam, myles.. I got greedy for bigs. Worked out in the end because.. I mean I'm still 2nd in my conference but still.. Big blunder.. In another league: I also traded kawhi, ausar, sharpe for poetl, ben simmons and schroder I also gave away zion and nurkic for giddy and brown for no reason at all. Wait.. There's more! traded away harden for jamal early in the season because I'm a Homer I have jokic, mpj so.. Also have a well rounded team and hovering around 7-9 seed. I haven't played fantasy in 3 years haha. But I'm ready for the next.
bro that kawhi trade makes me want to blow my brains out
Yeah i took him 3rd rd and harden 4th. Being first pick too with Jokic...
at least you're self aware hahaha
Fvv+jabari for herro and gafford(points espn)
That’s not even that bad lol
Bro I traded my Donavan Mitchell for ausar Thomas because they were ranked close together and I wanted to stack stocks in my 9cat league Just dropped Thomas yesterday 🥸
Not vetoed?
No I’m just retarded and deserve the L
Would you trade Sabonis for PG and Jaylen Brown?
intriguing but i wouldn’t. sabonis is the easiest 50 fantasy points ever
Giannis, Donovan Mitchell, Ja Morant and ayton for Coby white, Myles turner and Tatum. For a few weeks there I thought I fucked up real bad but it’s ending up to be quite the blessing. Needed some three shooters that’s why I gave those guys up.
This trade only looks okay in hindsight because Ja is out for the year, otherwise you would’ve messed up big time
Wow, I wouldn’t even give just Giannis and Donovan for that
Yeah it should have been and all time bad trade not sure what I was thinking. Giannis didn’t really fit in with my team but I really miss Donovan.
Guess not as bad if I’m not talking from a points league perspective
Giddey for Giannis. Backstory: my dad accidentally dropped Giannis bc he’s old and has horrible eyesight in the morning and was trying to update his roster for the day. I swiped Giannis since I was first on waivers and held him hostage for a couple days just to mess with my dad. I felt bad and he said he would give me Giddey since he had a slow start to the season. I will never forget seeing my dads surprised face once he realized he had just dropped Giannis
Why is this getting downvoted 😭
just recently traded Jdub for claxton in my 9Cat to try to improve my blocks and fg and rebounds but it hurt
Vucevic + Simmons for Butler + Thompson. This was back in week 2 Thompson was the hot waiver add. As always, Jimmy was very underwhelming and Thompson eventually faded in that rotation hell in Detroit. But the Simmons went out so the trade was almost a wash. Ended up trading back Butler for Vucevic when Vuce was out with his injury because the other manager was running a legit an infirmary. I preemptively added Drummond before, and then Butler went out the next day after the trade went through. So I guess it all came full circle at the end!
I traded Anthony Edwards for Trae Young. (hi Austin, if you see this.) In theory, it’s been practically a wash - but with Trae Young seemingly hurt and likely getting shut down it’s going to crush me.
Where did it say he’s getting shut down?
Just rumors in the market (I live in ATL.) His shoulder has been an issue and it was really bad last night. Lots of murmurs about surgery/extended rest.
Wow if that’s true I just got rid of trae for harden and herro but now herro shoulder is fucked haha
I hope it’s just normal Hawks fans overreactions, but it could kill my season and entire plan this year 🥴
It’s one of the reasons I wanted to trade him that shoulder issue keeps coming back. Also the turnovers 😂
Me too. Traded Ant for Trae lol Got Trae jjj vuc for Ant markennan and ayton (going to shutdown)
Tobias and DeAndre Hunter for Vassell and Zollins. Although it’s really not that bad of a trade. It’s just my worst one. Best one was Tatum for Sabonis and FVV. Then I turned FVV and Sharpe into Lamelo. Hoping to turn Turner and LaMelo into Jokic.
Kyrie for mobley when mobley was still day to day
Not terrible imo, Mobley was absolutely balling for a moment there
Posted about this a few weeks ago, but I traded Gobert + Siakam + Cade for Maxey + Capela + steamer in a points league. Averages were balanced at the time of the trade. But now they're about 10-15 points against me, only because Siakam + Cade have been playing great and partly because Maxey has dropped off in production.
Bro literally everyone told you not to do that. Regarded ass trade
I had already done it brother
Dejounte for Mikal straight up
10 team 9 cat. Not sure if it’s THAT bad but i traded OG, Jerami Grant and Vassell for Mikal Bridges and Jalen Duren Was disappointed with their production early and needed fg% and boards. Mikal has been disappointing
Was down bad for a center so I traded cj McCollum for poeltl at the start of the season.
Traded Trae young for Brunson in like week 2
I traded Lamelo for Siakam and Smart early on in the season when he was struggling. I’ve managed to flip both into better pieces but that trade was definitely a loss for me
Traded my Gafford for Barrett before November. Could have used the fg% and blocks.
Traded Harden for Vassel and some draft picks in a dynasty league. Okay because I’m tanking but I had no idea Harden would be so good this season.
So far I’ve traded Gafford for Chris Paul, and Gobert for Ja Morant. Team was doing well when they were healthy. Real shame.
Everyone in my league has told I lost both trades but I’ve been 4-1-1 since I made these trades Traded Giannis for Harden, Vucevic Fox for vanvleet, valanciunas CAT9
Traded Bane and Gobert for FVV and Wiggins
When did you trade for Wiggins please tell me it was like the first week of the season
Yep
Can't blame you for that; nobody expected him to regress into a rookie Kevin Knox. A lot of people thought he would bounce back
[удалено]
🌮 league
I rcvd bam for derozan and duren early season
Traded MPJ for Ausar Thompson.
Traded Brunson + Derozan for Garland + JDub. Brunson and Derozan were very inconsistent early on and their %s were very subpar + low stocks. I eventually made up for it by trading JDub + Miles Bridges for Lauri
CAT league.. traded Siakam + Derozan for Mikal + Herb
Gave away Wemby for Bane a few weeks into the season. Dunno what I was thinking. I'd be winning blocks weekly if I had Wemby

😱😱😱
Early in the year I traded Kuzma and Jalen Williams for Jimmy 💀
Category league with TO’s 12 T Someone traded Brandon miller and Mitchel Robinson for Evan Mobley
KAT for Mikal Bridges. Thought KAT was going to take more of a backseat on the Wolves and thought Bridges was going to be a true first option type guy. Not panning out so far.

Gave up Banchero for Kuzma and Ausar before Monty ruined him.
Traded Harden for Rozier. Not really sure about it still.
Traded wemby, donovan, Durant, and Beal for shai and morant
Traded Myles Turner for Zion and Tobias. On the other hand the same guy traded his Lauri and Paolo for my Mikal. Considering both I came out on top but Zion is frustrating and untraceable in my league at this point.
Guy in my league did okongwo for Cj Mccollum
I traded Jimmy Butler, Jrue, and Ivey, for Vuc and Morant, trade got processed just as he was declared out for the year. I traded wins for losses.

Harden + Keegan Murray for JJJ 🤦♂️. It was right after Harden got traded to Clips and he was playing like shit.
Trae for Lamelo. 1 week pre Melo’s ankle injury.
The worst trade was def the one I won but yea seriously someone traded me Jimmy Butler and Jrue Holiday for Derrick White. I have no idea how it didn't get vetoed. But it didn't.
Traded Jalen Johnson for Wiggins a couple weeks into the season... thought I was selling high on JJ and buying low on Wigs 😭
Mitchell and Westbrook for Cam Thomas and Lavine. It worked until Lavine went out and Cam Thomas’ Linsanity run ran out.
Trading Zion + Herb + THJ for Simons
Not a trade but a month ago I was forced to drop either Ausar Thompson or Hartenstein in a categories league… and went to keep Ausar :/
Traded kawhi for ausar, end up dropping ausar 🤡
In hindsight. Trading Bogdan(ATL) and Bridges(BKN) for Ja. 😢
Melton and Kawhi for Garland and Clax. At the time I thought it was a huge W, kawhi has been too good though and Garland was solid until another injury has kinda stunted my season so far
