Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: They have made a quick transition from a rebuilding team based on internal developement to the win now mode with several agressive moves. First they traded Robert Covington and Dario Saric for Jimmy Butler, then aquired Tobias Harris from Clippers and finally gave up Markelle Fultz to Magic… probably just for the sake of getting rid of him. Unfortunately both Butler and Harris were on an expiring contracts, so they had another decisions to make in the summer. Also, they were on the wrong side of one of the most miraculous shots in recent NBA […]

Fantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Despite team’s breakout and their late run that led them to playoffs, fantasy-wise it was a bumpy year for fantasy purposes. Nikola Vucevic pulled one of the best out-of-nowhere seasons in recent memory, but heralded breakouts of Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac never came with only the latter showing the signs of future potential. On the positive side of things, they suddenly transformed from a rebuilding team with no hope to one of the NBA’s feel good stories. Changes in the offseason: Lost = Added = Al Farouq Aminu Projected Depth Chart: PG SG SF […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: They lost the Finals, they lost KD forever and they lost Klay for the season. That was probably the most catastrophic June that a team could have. Before that, in fantasy world, Steph Curry was great, Klay Thompson surprisingly good and both KD and Dray were walking disappoitments. But it was in different era of basketball, so its hard to draw any significant conclusions from their last years production. Changes in the offseason Lost = Kevin Durant, Boogie Cousins, Andre Igoudala, Shaun Livingston, Jordan Bell, Andrew Bogut, Jonas Jerebko, Damian Jones, Quinn Cook, Added = […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: NBA Champions, a team that made few win now moves with trades for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green before last season and another one for Marc Gasol at the trade deadline. It all worked out pretty well, also because veterans got a lot of unexpected help from the breakout season of Pascal Siakam. Changes in the offseason Lost = Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green Added = Stanley Johnson, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Cameron Payne They lost their MVP and the best 3&D player, but on the bright side it frees a lot of minutes for young guys, as […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: It was a season to forget with Anthony Davis leaning from its start to being traded, and in fact requesting a trade in February causing an organizational meltdown. Obviously it ended with Pelicans gathering a ton of young assets with a grand grand prize of Zion Williamson won in the draft lottery. Years from now this season might be considered the same way as Spurs season 96-97. Changes in the offseason Lost = Anthony Davis, Ian Clark, Cheick Diallo, Tim Frazier, Solomon Hill, Stanley Johnson, Elfrid Payton, Julius Randle, Christian Wood Added = Zion Williamson, […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: It all started well with LeBron James and a bunch of young guns and ended badly with James down and young guns proving not being ready. But it all doesnt matter, as the young guns are now gone. Changes in the offseason Lost = Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Reggie Bullock, Isaac Bonga, Tyson Chandler, Josh Hart, Mike Muscala, Moritz Wagner Added = Anthony Davis, Danny Green, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard, (Boogie Cousins), Quinn Cook, Troy Daniels, Jared Dudley, Talen Horton Tucker, Kostas Antetokounmpo It was a revolution and a complete change of team building idea – […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: After all of that yearly talk “I like some of the Kings players but…”, they, to everybody’s shock, went for a team-breakout season. DeAaron Fox made a huge progress and even though his development was expected to some, nobody could predict how good would he become and, what’s more important, he came out to be one of those rare infectious players that can change the attitude and character of the whole team. After all Sacramento finished season 9th in the West, as “the best of the rest” team. Changes in the offseason Lost = Corey […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: The season started like a nightmare with a complete fiasco of Carmelo Anthony experiment and only 11 wins in 25 games… what’s more, Chris Paul suffered another injury and soon the same happened to Clint Capela and Eric Gordon. For the while their team was build of James Harden and a bunch of borderline rotation players, but thanks to Harden’s genius they not only survived, but also pulled off a winning streak, winning 21 out of 29 next games. Unfortunately in playoffs they suffered another heartbreaking loss to Warriors and it became obvious that this […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Thanks to Trae Young’s uique skill set they were fast, they were exciting, they were passing and most importantly, they were good in the second part of the season. Their season was highlighted by young players whos developement exceeded all expectations: Young, Huerter, Collins, Len and even Spellman. Changes in the offseason: Lost = Omari Spellman, Dewayne Dedmon, Taurean Prince, Kent Bazemore Added = Damian Jones, DeAndre Hunter, Cam Reddish, Allen Crabbe, Evan Turner They are being very consistent with their team vision, adding more and more young pieces to their core. Projected Depth Chart: […]
Posted in Teams previewFantasy Review For 2018/19 Season: Season 18/19 was an official end to an era of Wizards being wannabe contenders in the East. John Wall showed up to camp totally out of shape, then he wasnt himself on a court and in the end he suffered two major injuries one by one, almost at once (they were serious, but the way that he did them, rather funny). In the wake of lost season, Ernie Grunfeld took one last shot at performing the most stupid rebuild a fan could see. He gave up Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre for free, and along […]
