TT and Hayward may be swapped soon.

NBA Trade Rumors: Letting Go Of Gordon Hayward Would Net Celtics Thompson And Clarkson

I dont think anyone commented on your fantasy ability or not, or cares.
Has nothing to do with @tlance though.


Everyone agreed luck is a major part.

Not sure anyone but me said major part. By memory seems they all said things like "it plays a role." I'm thinking in year long leagues it's probably 50% luck or a little more. Daily leagues more like 75%. Maybe a little more with baseball.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

which was why I said when they still had the cash available they probably put a call into the Cavs.....but they also probably knew there was nothing the cavs would want they'd be willing to offer.

You seem to think because a deal didn't get made the teams didn't talk. They talk all the time about players. Your comment was absurd.

Sorry.
He wasn’t on their radar.
They wanted 2 max players.
When it didnt happen they had way more pressing needs then TT at that price.

Not sure why you wont guess what hes paid next summer.
You have an opinion on everything else.

I know nothing about baseball, so no comment.

Football has a ton of luck and especially if injuries are included as luck.

Thought I saw something for him but for Love and not TT a while back. That made more sense as I think Love has more years on his deal than Hayward by 2 years?

I could see Love, Heyward and Sexton (with Garland) as a nice start to a rebuild, but not sure how it works with Love and Heyward tying up $60 million. I would think if they dealt TT and/or Clarkson they'd want picks back but who knows?

They trigger people because they are trolls, that's how they enjoy this place. Just like you and sometimes me

Lol. I don’t troll, just some good natured ribbing.

You’re a troll, though, just semi-retired. You can tell you have all the skills for it but decided to hang it up for some reason

We both troll still come on dude

The best trolling IS good natured in my book

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

It's not dtgold. He's not dumb he's a troll, and you guys fall for it every time.

You’re giving him way to much credit.
A good troll can do it in many less posts.

There would be a lot less if you knew how to handle him

Depends on settings and format. You are generalizing way too much. And you are also the only person talking about daily fantasy.

Roto baseball, for example is 85-90% skill.

And one of your main “luck components”, the waiver wire is not luck if you go with FAAB and it is a lot less luck if you play rolling waivers.

But yeah, head to head football leagues have a higher luck factor than most.

of course they wanted 2 max players, but when things fell apart for Kawhi they needed a plan B.

I am one who answers all direct questions and isn't into deflection like you. Thought I did answer, but here it goes again.......hard to know, but if he's willing to take a 1-year deal I would think it would be in the $15-18 mil range. If he wants a longer deal I think more like in the $12-16 mil range.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Nah. He’s serious as a heart attack.

Injuries no doubt are included along with many other things that could happen no one would think about.

Hell, I remember winning a very close game a couple years ago because my opponent's QB took a knee 3 plays to end the game. The lost yardage put me on top.

NBA and NFL is mostly about game control. You want players in games that will be close and high scoring. and if someone really knows how games are going to go they should forget fantasy and just make traditional wagers with point spread or over/under.

Having 2 white stars at once would be pretty awesome lol

I like the trade as TT doesn't care much anymore and is too busy with the Kardashian...And Hayward doesn't fit with Boston. It's a good trade for both teams...

Pretty easy to "handle". all in good fun for me. Do I like to argue and get the last word? Yep. Like many here. If it's not your thing then bow out early.

Most do seem to know. I suspect this poster knows but he's the same and cannot control himself.....and, worse, doesn't think he;s the same.

You troll the hell out of people with your stupid catchphrases and pretending not to understand common sense, quit pretending you're just being logical LOL

Roto baseball for sure has more skill since it is so long and so many games. 85-90% seems way too high as just injuries I think account for at least 20%.

And I believe it was you who did, in fact, try and point out how much skill it took for the sharks to win in daily fantasy. The reason they win is they enter 100s of lineups and not just a handful or less.

Been many times I have all the studs in one lineup or another. The luck is having them in the right one together and much easier to do with 100+ lineups as opposed to 3.

catch phrases, I guess, but always warranted. Been a few times I misunderstood something and it turned into a long debate because of it (which can happen to anyone), but often the misunderstanding not my fault/obvious and if it drags on it's often because the other person keeps bringing it up.

Take an early dust up and I wont go into a long debate this time.......when wamu made the comment about "give me the shooter over the big guy every time" yes, I took it to mean exactly what he said, not just in reference to Love and Klay.

come back and say in a way that is not combative to me "you are mistaken or should have worded differently and I was only referring to Love/Klay" I can respect that. Reply in an argumentative manner? Probably becomes a prolonged disagreement, which it did.

but I also practice what I preach and do base my comments on post and not poster. If others don't? That's their choice.

But something else I say a lot that is true...it's all in good fun for me. Never take things too seriously. If I did, I wouldn't be here.

I'm not reading all that, you apparently are a troll that doesn't realize he is one. A rare breed.
