What are you going to do about Durant? I'm wondering if i should just drop him in the other league I'm in...

Our league ends 4/2 so it's a no-brainer. I would probably recommend for you to cut regardless of your settings, as painful as it will be.

In other words, offering big-for-small. I got all the hot names in waiver wire centers.

Trade deadline is Friday (so does that technically mean Thursday at midnight?).

In the meantime we have a

:siren: TRADE ALERT :siren:



NAPIER RENEGADEangel (spacejung) offers Alan Williams (PF, PHX, Yahoo! Rank 326, undrafted)

to Easy Blake Oven (jabro) in exchange for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (G/SF/PF, BKN, Yahoo! Rank 180, Round 8/Pick 92)

Both players are healthy at the time of this trade. A new injury to either player will lock the trade. Take-back period will end at 15:39 PST on Friday, March 3, 2017 (if trade is not cancelled, traded players will be available in their new lineups on Saturday, March 4).

Closing in on that trade deadline but time for one more

:siren: TRADE ALERT :siren:



NAPIER RENEGADEangel (spacejung) offers Patrick Beverley (G, HOU, Yahoo! Rank 63, Round 11/Pick 125)

to McDonald's in exchange for Andre Iguodala (G/SF, GSW, Yahoo! Rank 85, undrafted)

Both players are healthy at the time of this trade. A new injury to either player will lock the trade. Take-back period will end at 15:31 PST on Saturday, March 4, 2017 (if trade is not cancelled, traded players will be available in their new lineups on Sunday, March 5).


Yes I do intend to complete both trades if you're wondering. Although HOTLANTA MAN could compel me to back out of this one with a suitable counter-offer.

I hope Cruisin for a Boozin is ready for a rematch because that 5-4 victory with my team of waiver wire rejects may have locked us into the 7th and 2nd seeds. Get ready to go home in the first round son!

OK playoffs are on the horizon!

We have some interesting races going on.



1/2 seed:


It looks like barring a major reversal, DickVitales is in the driver's seat for 1st seed. In a lot of years this would be a good position to be in, but with all the competition for 8 seed...

3/4 seed:


Another matchup with major implications, DeMars and I both have difficult matchups. I own the tie breaker and would prefer to operate from the 3rd seed if possible (3 years in a row)...

5/6/7:


It doesn't appear that we'll see much movement here unless Jrue can reverse her fortunes vs. BGI's. I won't be blowing out D&TW so look for him at 5 seed...

8/9/10 seed (aka the race for the last playoff spot):


By far our best story of the season is the close chase for the 8th seed. Easy Blake has held the longest claim to it, but McDonald's and HOTLANTA are going for it pretty hard...

11/12 seed (aka race for last place):


I have to give it up for both of these teams for meeting the lineup requirements even as the season started to fade away. Better returns next year, go down swinging.

I am only as good as the players I bring to the field, which makes me in the end ludicrously exceptional, unimpeachable, and awe-inspiring on the scale of a solar "bust-a-nut" event visible only through welding masks at sunset. All that is another way to say: thanks for your intensity and I hope that whatever happens, if you are reading this you immediately resolve to come back next year to defend or avenge your honor as necessary.

Hell of a matchup, it seems like each of these 1st rounders came down to a single player or move. I hate being on this side of it but in general I love the trend!

9 assists was an incredibly fine margin. Really thought I was going to lose halfway through the week

I've been very pleased with the competitiveness this season, much better than last year. Great first round, and this is already going to be my best ever finish so any further is a bonus

I pretty much always set my lineups save the odd day I sleep in past noon and forget there are super early games. I think you're going to have to settle for your best finish being 2nd.

Edit: This early deficit is just to lure you into complacency until my big boys take the court.

And so, the battle is joined:

Cruisin for a Boozin, potential 1st-time champ, ranked 7th in overall record, drafted from 10th position, season leader in AST and BLK, led by midseason trade target James Harden

vs.

DeMars Rover, potential 1st-time champ, ranked 10th in overall record, drafted from 12th position, season leader in FG% and REB, led by 3rd-round pick Isaiah Thomas
