• Cutting expensive players is really only viable if the league allows teams to sit in a somewhat illegal state while their cuts are re-auctioned to clear cap space. Since that isn't a thing in this league, I don't think there's any way that Jokic goes for more than $100. Embiid also has risks associated with him, whereas Jokic is a top-3 player in MVP form right now, so I don't know if I agree with that comparison.
  
  I also have no idea why this person took over this team in 7th place, tried to sell players to me (the team in 12th place, to be clear), and then half a game out of the playoffs cut Jokic. Should the 5th and 6th place teams tank because they don't think they are as good as the first place team? I think some consideration should be given to what 'being competitive' means in this league.

• Pretty cool that all the big-ticket guys (besides Embiid) have all been pretty healthy this season.
  Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 26, 2024 7:16 PM
• Good point. Minimum for Joker would be $72, which would still necessitate $144 in cuts from a team. Let me send some messages
  Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 26, 2024 7:13 PM
• It is a viable strategy to see how the dominoes fall and try to grab other guys who get cut cheaper. Could potentially be better than the return you'd get trying to trade Jokic in the offseason but it's a gamble of course.

• 2 weeks ago in one of my money leagues, Embiid was cut and re-auctioned for $60. I know he is hurt so a bit different and not uncommon to see this in my experience .
  THE 🏀 GAME !! at Feb 26, 2024 7:09 PM
• My bigger interest is cap space. Darko has the most at $12. Even if Jokic hits auction and goes for only $100, that's $200 of cuts the winning team would have to make with penalties. Is anyone prepared to slash half their payroll or are we gonna have a waiver wire Jokic?
  Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 26, 2024 7:05 PM
• I remember having a huge learning curve when I first started playing, so I totally get it. But my question is if these players were cut due to not fully understanding how the auction system works, is there any chance we can just reverse these cuts and put them back on his team? Otherwise this is quite a dramatic late-season shakeup that could have serious repercussions this season and next season as well (if someone gets these players way below market).

• I'm sure no one is considering doing this but just a friendly reminder, if you decide to go after Jokic or Trae, you still must cut until your roster is valid. You cannot take him unless you are willing to go to cut town, population, your team.

• Fair play Austin, just making a point. Jokic auction is gonna be lit.
  Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Feb 26, 2024 11:46 AM
• Tanking in an auction league though? Gonna be interesting when Jokic goes back up!
  Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 26, 2024 11:44 AM
• Just to give a little grace to Austin, it’s his first time playing Ottoneu and also fantasy in general. If there was any confusion about these cuts let me know!

• half a game out of the playoffs with the best categories player.... "can't compete"....
  Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Feb 26, 2024 11:28 AM
• Yes, I have some good pieces, but ultimately can't compete this season. Tanking.
  Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 26, 2024 11:25 AM
• I'm going to assume he is tanking for the #1 overall pick.

• hey why did the 7th place team cut jokic? this isn't a riddle
  Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Feb 26, 2024 10:00 AM
• I'm always game for deadline trades if anybody is looking to shake things up. I've got a decent mix of category savants for all your deadline shopping needs.

• If We Shall All Be Hield also wants to quit the league now I understand.

• If I'd accepted a subpar Tatum offer I'd have complained but as is this is a Godsend for my team lol

• I really really apologize to all of you for messing the date up. Let me know on the forums or directly if you have any questions or concerns. Won't happen again!
  Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Jan 31, 2024 5:21 PM
• Good. I much prefer that date. If my team isn't threatening for a playoff spot at that point then everybody is available for future pieces.
  Magnum Rollers at Jan 31, 2024 5:13 PM
• My brain is broken and I apologize. Trades must be completed by the end of the day (ET) on 2/29

• Nice catch, Magnum!
  Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Jan 31, 2024 12:36 PM
• holy cow the deadline is definitely supposed to be in one month, and was the end of february in 2023.
  Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Jan 31, 2024 12:35 PM
• Deadline day. I clicked on the rules page to see if it's midnight or what and there it says the deadline is the last day of February so that wasn't helpful. I'd assume midnight eastern, but who knows? If you want to make a deadline trade feel free to send something over or ping me in the chat. I'm always up for trade talks.
  Magnum Rollers at Jan 31, 2024 12:32 PM
• We here at Basketball Galactica are still recovering from not having our lineups set for the Embiid 70 pt game, but the team is back in business on the trade front, any offers appreciated, and we should be sending some out over the weekend as well

• gotcha! i've got some one immediatley in mind - if not him, i know a few of ya'll also had some folks in mind. Will circle back soon. Thanks for your effort and participation @Giannis. You managed a really competitive team the last 3 years. Best of luck to you going forward!
  We Shall All Be Hield at Jan 22, 2024 10:54 AM
• No not a joke. Please replace me right away. I have entered preliminary lineups for the week but will not be able to attend to them any more. I don't want to become a zombie team, so trying to be proactive here. Best of luck to all and thanks for a fun past couple of years.

• Hey @Giannis, do you want to finish out the season or do you want me to find a replacement for you mid-season?
