    Nope, 14 team league. Those guys are taken. Here's my waiver wire:

    Not looking too great haha. I think I'm going to wait a bit to make any moves. I looked at the 1st two weeks of the season and there is only one night where me not having a small forward causes me miss out on starting a player, so I'll take that hit. By then I'm sure a decent SF will emerge on the waiver wire once rotations become clearer

    I dropped Felton for Cole. Not too much on the wire.

    Would you all trade Dwight and Reggie Jackson for Cousins and JR Smith?

    Yeah, I think so. Not too high on JR Smith, but you have Harden on your team so having Dwight negates the positive impact of Harden's FT%. Cousins is gonna be a beast and was a 1st rounder in most leagues, Howard was a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

    Eh pretty even. Just depends on who you prefer. I'd probably go with Cousins.

    Dwight will kill your FT% but high upside in blocks.

    JR and Jackson, I don't really care for either.

    Hill will be out for a few weeks and McDermott will give you buckets, but Hill could be an important player for the Pacers this season with George and Lance gone, so I expect him to have great production later on. Your decision, don't know how much you need immediate 3fg.

    Thanks Yung-T. I have Reggie Jackson, David West, and George Hill on the BN and all of them are fecking injured. I didn't realise that players on the BN count towards to the overall score...

    Donald Sloan (Pacers) is beasting atm, brought me great points in his first two games.
    14ppg, 7.5reb, 6.5apg, 1stl so far.

    Am currently 1/20 and 2/20 in my leagues. :cool:

    Should I go ahead and drop George Hill and pick up, say, Brandon Knight? I think Hill has a pretty decent season in stow so maybe I can pick him back up after his injury...someone might swoop in though. Thoughts?

    Do you think the first few games are going to be an accurate representation of Dragic? 2 assists a game? Barely any steals? No 3's. I thought i was lucky to get him with the last pick in the second round.

    I'm tempted to drop George Hill or Arron Afflalo for Donald Sloan. Would this be the right move to make?
