1 Run Don't Walk Breakout & 4 Must Adds | 24 Injuries | Hottest Waiver Wire Action Week 5

[@istockgrizz]

I'm so upset I missed Hartenstein in my league; he literally got picked up as I was deciding who to cut him for

[@GunnyKeith]

That sucks. Keep Grinding, you'll be fine,

[@ntg1150]

Yeah I got heaps lucky, I checked just as he was listed as questionable out of nowhere and scooped him up

[@utkarshkaniyar6210]

How tf y’all in leagues so taco i hart was available?

[@GunnyKeith]

@utkarshkaniyar6210 I was thinking the same.

[@OldManSquad]

Sorry man

[@bigmac2.141]

What do you think about my dame and shaedon sharpe for derrick white and jarett allen?

[@OldManSquad]

Mostly fair. Either side is fine to me

[@GunnyKeith]

This was totally Awesome, Thanks alot Dan. Amazing work.

[@OldManSquad]

Thanks again!

[@Capitanfinduss]

Hello there, thank you for your amazing work! Someone offered me Wembayama+ Braun for my JJJ and Markannen, what do you think?

[@OldManSquad]

Very nice!

[@Qbdawizard]

Grabbed Ihart and mark Williams off the waiver this week because I got a easy win this week 🔥 Ihart went crazy first day i picked him up, those 2 moves can win my money league

[@OldManSquad]

Haha wow!

[@TheOmar]

Wondering if I should drop D'Lo for Conley in my Punt Points team...

[@OldManSquad]

Punt points Conley probably fits better but if DLo gets traded or his role changes again he blows Conley out of the water

[@TheOmar]

@@OldManSquad Thanks for that take. I didn't think about D'Lo getting traded. And to your point, if he becomes 6th man extraordinaire, then he'll do excellent. I'll hold on to him for now then

[@brokhan2909]

Should I drop Jabari smith jr or sarr when I bring ihart out of IR

[@OldManSquad]

Dang tough call -- probably Sarr

[@brokhan2909]

@ should I trade dame and embiid for Luka

[@tarentinobg]

While I'm here. i created a statistic where I divide by the standard deviation of the various stats before adding, that way the high counting stats and low counting stats get weighted correctly. I call it a Proxy stat. PTS + FGM - FGA + FTM - FTA + 3PM + OREB + TOTALR + A + S + B - TOV except each of the above categories are divided by the standard deviation of the category So if you have 19 pts and the SD is 6, what you add is 19/6 or 3.17. This kind of squishes everything to between 0 and 4 relative to a stat's place in the range of values and is a better way of creating a statistic that indicates a players ability to affect categories rather than just being dominant in one particular category or categories.

[@OldManSquad]

I'm always trying to find better ways to look at the stats - nicely done! What does your board look like?

Clingan or McDaniels ?? Which would you learn towards Dan My team is weak on rebounds blocks. My team is strong on steals . I currently have Clingan, but scared of portlands big man situation

[@OldManSquad]

Yeah if Ayton comes back it screws it all up. So it’s McDaniels short term

[@amerrramic]

Love this! Dan, I have a lot of guards, and am being offered Bam and Donte for Brunson and Jabari Smith .. 9CAT H2H.. thoughts??

[@OldManSquad]

Mm... I think if you wait a little you can probably get someone better than Bam for Brunson, but it's not a terrible trade or anything

[@akaTai69]

Is Bub an add for Saturday with Poole out?

[@OldManSquad]

I was tracking it... looks like the answer is nope

[@krisg3818]

With the raptors starting to get healthy are we dropping agbaji ? I dropped him for stephon castle

[@OldManSquad]

Drop indeed

[@GunnyKeith]

Yo Dan, 10t 9cat h2h, who you taking ROS> J.Giddey or T. Rozier?

[@OldManSquad]

Giddey

[@GunnyKeith]

@OldManSquad Thanks Dan, I appreciate that.

[@Brazillian_Skill]

In a points league, Vassell or Dyson rest of season , and then Cam Thomas or Brandon Miller rest of season?

[@OldManSquad]

Got you in the other thread

[@Jack-u8y3e]

Amen or Keegan in espn 10t point league?

[@OldManSquad]

Oof that’s a toughie. Keegan safer game to game. Amen has the upside but will it hit?. Probably stay Murray

12T 9 CAT deeper benches DLO & Okongwu For Bilal & Harrison Barnes

[@sergeynazaro1768]

I’d take Dlo and okongwu

[@gordful]

@ fair enough

[@OldManSquad]

Currently Bilal is the highest ranked dude. Obviously we hope D'Lo will get an improved role as the season goes but there are no guarantees, so I might just take Bilal and not have to worry about it

[@gordful]

@ I knew I could count on you Dan, I took Bilal yesterday and haven’t looked back. Appreciate you 🫡

[@Marzmallow0328]

Chet + Jabarri Smith to Mobley + Kuzma 16team H2H

[@OldManSquad]

Got you in the other one

[@nikosspyrou3890]

Dan, do you think it's worth trading Bogdan bogdanovic for Dlo?

[@OldManSquad]

Nah. Let’s see what bogi does

[@brianbelanger5195]

Would you sell high herro for paul george? Espn h2h points

[@OldManSquad]

Probably yes, though the PG days off might be annoying

[@thomasjurasits4254]

Should I trade Alex Sarr for DLo?

[@OldManSquad]

Depends on what you're looking for. I think Sarr is going to be fun as hell in February... certainly hoping D'Lo turns this around before then

[@sf_bridge2639]

Mark williams or nickrichards who will you pick up for a long term??

[@OldManSquad]

Haha if mark ever plays he’s the guy

[@Gofindnory]

Is Jabari Smith Jr better hold ROS than Aaron Gordon ?

[@OldManSquad]

Only because he's healthy so yes

[@trevorcalvert3509]

Traded Ingram and Jalen green for DeRozan. Feel like that's a win for me

I just traded away Sengun for Embiid!! Whatcha think Dan?

[@OldManSquad]

Haha, it's a ballsy play that's for sure. In roto I'm into it. H2H I bet you could have gotten Joel for less

[@timboslice3830]

@OldManSquad ah ok. Tho I had drafted Sengun at #40 so I thought that may be good value. Do you think JJJ would've been a cheaper price to pay for Embiid?

Cat league should I trade Austin revves to get anf Simon’s.

[@OldManSquad]

God no

[@tarentinobg]

Why don't you just put a number instead of an asterisk? That kind of over-complicates what you want to convey ... and you can't re-sort if you change your mind. For example 3 Shaedon Sharpe 3 PJ Washington 1 Andrew Wiggins And lets say you want Andrew to be a 4. All you have to do is edit the number and resort. easier to edit.

[@tarentinobg]

Love the shows this year btw. I've prolly listened to most of them. Been wanting to mention the asterisk limitations for a week and finally got around to it. LOL

[@OldManSquad]

But it’s about how many shows they’ve been on, not how much I like them…

[@charles7930]

I’m so annoyed with tyrese Haliburton. My patience is starting to break with him but I don’t want to make any rash moves. Would u trade away hali for lebron? Lebron you always wonder how many games he will play (last year he payed 71!), so I don’t know. In need of an expert fantasy analyst. Thank you!

Would Dyson Daniels for Christian Braun be a fair trade? I kinda need an extra SF
