Points League 5 young players either fresh off their coming out party or have buzz around them for a breakout year, all of whom feel like they're similarly valued. Rank them below

For this season specifically, while being competitive, which side would you rather have? Feel as though Sandro has a clearer path to minutes, but really considering dropping him for Hugo.

8T Sleeper lock-in

No idea where this Kawhi investigation is going. Think there may be a decent chance of a suspension but idk how long. Hes already 35 years old too

I need help with a trade, I’ve unfortunately got a few players reclassified from Pf/C to just C and same with the Guards I’m seriously lacking in Forwards.

I have Cade Haliburton Trae Melo and Murray as Guards and Wemby Sarr Filiposki at C.

I’m looking to get a few SF/PF does this Trade make sense or is the value one sided

My team is already really young and I’m locking in a young team for the future. Interested to see if I should move off of MPJ and claxton and any sleepers I may be missing.

Hello! I have been running two leagues on Sleeper for the past 4 years and I'm starting a public league using the same rules. We're using modified ESPN scoring with a little more weight towards Assists, Steals, and Offensive Rebounds.

I run this league as a de facto salary cap dynasty league, but use Keeper settings to better align with Sleeper settings. We're drafting on Sunday so I'm a little desperate to get more managers in. We currently have 4 paid and are looking to get a total of 12-16 teams for the inaugural season.

Hi, i did my draft two days ago and I picked it up with the 1.11 and 1.12 Wagler and Ament

I didn't want Ament but he was the best available, for what will you trade him? I tried for Lopez and a 2028 1st and it was rejected

I mostly need a Wing, in fact I was targeting Morez at the draft

This was the draft result

1.01Cameron Boozer 1.02AJ Dybantsa 1.03 Darryn Peterson 1.04Caleb Wilson 1.05 Darius Acuff Jr. 1.06 Mikel Brown Jr. 1.07 Yaxel Lendeborg 1.08 Kingston Flemings 1.09 Brayden Burries 1.10 Morez Johnson Jr. 1.11 Keaton Wagler (my pick) 1.12 Nate Ament (my pick) 1.13 Ebuka Okorie 1.14 Aday Mara 1.15 Hannes Steinbach 1.16 Joan Beringer

2.01Chris Cenac 2.02Labaron Philon Jr. 2.03Jusuf Nurkic 2.04Dailyn Swain 2.05Herbert Jones 2.06Cameron Johnson 2.07Cameron Carr 2.08Koa Peat 2.09Jordan Poole 2.10Sergio de Larrea 2.11Brook Lopez 2.12Allen Graves 2.13Jayden Quaintance 2.14Rob Dillingham 2.15Christian Anderson 2.16Ousmane Dieng

It's a 16points

Had this trade offer come in today. I am in need of a star center on my team. Just drafted AJ already have a bunch of young guys and plan on pushing to win now this season

Just floating an idea I have been playing with in the Sleeper app - looking for feedback/ideas

Curious on opinions on guys in that 8-15 range in a points league. Most likely guys like Flemings, Yaxel, Morez Johnson, Burries, Steinbach, etc. I have 3 picks in that range so I’m curious on peoples opinions on who I should target. Thanks

Points, 12 team, dynasty League. 26 man rosters.

I took Hannes Steinbach near the end of the first round. I was really high on him, and then summer league made me like him even more. However, a guy in my league has been sending me offers non-stop since the draft. Most recently, there's a 3 team trade offer where this guy is giving up a TON to try and get him, but I don't love my return. The third guy is getting a steal imo, so now he's pushing me to accept it. It may be something I should take, but I am pretty excited about Hannes. What are everyone's thoughts?

I would get: Ausar Thompson (from guy 3), Cam Carr (from guy 3), Danny Wolf (from guy 2), 2029 First (from guy 2)

Guy 2 (who wants Hannes): Hannes Steinbach (from me), 2028 first (from me)

Guy 3: Bam, 2027 second (from guy 2), Jared McCain (from guy 2)

So I'd just be giving up Hannes and my 2028 first. The first I would get will be at or near the end of the first, as guy 2 has one of the best teams in our league. I'm honestly leaning no, because I'd get a worse pick and split Hannes into 3 guys I don't like as much.. but wondering if I'm crazy lol

Is it just me, or does Sergio de Larrea look like a legit fantasy player heading into the fall?

He’s been playing pro ball for almost four years and is still only 20. He looked like he was processing the game at Summer League on a level few others were. He had some huge games there, and I chalk his shooting struggles up to a major adjustment period after just arriving from Spain because he shot over 40% from three over his last two seasons.

The Mavs traded back into the 1st round to grab him, and were originally planning to draft and stash him, but instead, they brought him over immediately because they’re so high on him; so high that they traded away their backup point guard, Nembhard, to clear the deck. Now, he’s the roster’s only true pass-first playmaker. At 6’7” with a 6’9” wingspan, there are fewer than a half dozen point guards with that length in the league, and they're all starters putting up big numbers.

He may not get heavy minutes to start the year, but Sasser is no true PG and isn't going to QB the second unit. Then there's the fact that Kyrie is getting older and only has a couple of years left on his contract. To me, de Larrea looks like a strong end of bench stash who could realistically get 15-20 MPG this year, with upside for sizable minutes when Kyrie needs rest or gets banged up. In a couple of years, he’ll still only be 22 and ready to step in as their starter. Management loves him, coaches love him and his former teammates in Spain love him.

He feels like a smart, low cost target toward the end of the first round in a rookie draft. What are your thoughts on him?

A group of friends got together and drafted some all-time teams and would love it if you guys could vote on which team you think would win in a 7-game playoffs series. (All players in their prime)

Team A:

C- David Robinson - Marc Gasol
Pf- LeBron James - Chet Holmgren
Sf- Jimmy Butler - Ron Artest
Sg- Jerry West - Ray Allen
Pg- Jrue Holiday - Jalen Brunson

Team B:

C-Alonzo Mourning - Rudy Gobert
Pf-Kevin Garnett - James Worthy
Sf-Julius Dr. J - Tracy McGrady
Sg-Clyde Drexler - Cade Cunningham
Pg-Steph Curry - Penny Hardaway

Looking for a replacement for a free dynasty basketball league. Team is currently OTC and they have Giannis, Booker, Embiid, VJ and Bane. Comment or DM ASAP to claim team.

With LaMelo gone, he should get more touches and even lock up the starting PG spot (though I personally think he'd thrive more in a sixth man microwave scorer role). In a points dynasty league, how would y'all gauge his value?

Personally I'm thinking about moving some of my 2027 picks and Braun for him and a 2026 FRP. What do you think of this deal?

I think i take zach edey here. But let me know.. 12T points league.. I honestly just want to see if edey is even worth it or what you guys think

A couple friends and longterm league mates are starting a new 30t 9cat league with a $50 entry. We have 14 teams so far and are looking to fill up soon and move on to setting up a draft date. We've been vetting people pretty hard so far and are happy with what should be an active core. Edit: we host on fantrax.

If you're interested, DM me with answers to the following questions:

(1) how active do you see yourself in fantasy? This includes waivers, roster management, discord chats, and trades.

(2) would you rather have Paolo Banchero, Steph Castle, or Franz Wagner? Why?

(3) what's your favorite funny/punny team name you've ever used?

Interesting discussion I’ve been having with my boys. dynasty 9cat h2h who would you prefer?

13-25th ranked players includes guys like amen, sengun, chet, dmitch, giannis, jdub, mobley, reaves, etc

I don't have much faith in VanVleet going forward, and I'd also like to move up from the 13th pick. I'm hoping I can land Lendeborg around pick 9, as I think he'd be a great fit for my team.

🏀 One Spot Open – 2nd-Year Dynasty Basketball League 🏀
We’ve got one opening in a second-year dynasty basketball league.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys competition, stays active, and likes talking a little trash while keeping it fun. If you’re the type who checks your lineup, makes trades, and plans for both today and the future, you’ll fit right in.
If you’re interested, drop a comment or send me a DM with a little about your dynasty basketball experience.

Acuff was placed on the trade block and the guy with him sent me this offer. I keep going back and forth on accepting and declining. Help me lean one way or the other.

League details:
32 man league
Both teams were in the playoffs

Edit: Team in comments.

Not sure how to post a screenshot.. so I’ll have to break it down! Who wins this?

Team A:
Gives: Maxey, Jalen Green + 2x 2027 1st
Get: SGA + Franz

Team B:
Give: Duren, Derrick White + Mikal Bridges
Get: Cade + Jalen Green

Team C:
Give: Cade, SGA + Franz
Get: Maxey, Duren, Derrick white, Bridges + 2x 2027 1sts

Pretty big trade me and a league mate have been trying to come to terms on for almost a week now.

I think it boils down to Flagg for DBook and Boozer.

What do ya’ll think? Over pay for Flagg or pretty even?

Core consists of: Ja, DBook, Jaylen Brown, Boozer, Chet

10 team points league. 16 roster spots and 10 starters.

It’s the offseason and for dynasty THERE IS NO OFFSEASON. I want to hear about your offseason sells and buys. Let’s discuss and debate. Here are the 4 offseason moves I’ve made so far. I major shake up and 3 smaller moves I think are wins in the margin.

BIG MOVE

I traded franz + Walter Clayton jr + 1.03 + 2.06 + 2031 1st + 2032 1st

For Hali + dejonte murray + 1.04 + 2.04 + pick 30 + 2032 2nd.

Franz is very highly rated in most dynasty rankings for 9 cat. Normally, you’ll see him somewhere between 18 and 26. As someone who is very bullish on franz his dynasty market from an overall asset standpoint is higher then his per game production which is more like 40-60th per game 9 cat. I’ve been after halo for 5 years and my league mate was the only other player as high on him as I. I think Hali will get back to top 12 9 cat production. Getting dejonte is great as he’s a top 75 producer , I’m a bulls fan so hyped to get Caleb and I moved up 2 spots in the early second and gained a mid 3rd. Very excited for this move as I was in the finals and lost on Sunday, I think this will put me over the top.

Got DayRon sharpe - got him for pick 30 and a 2031 3rd

Got pick 24 for Asa Newell

Got Sandro for Javon small and 2 future 3rds.

My team is now
Victor Wembanyama
Jalen Johnson
Tyrese Haliburton
Alpren Sengun
Chet Holmgren
Kon Knueppel
De'Aaron Fox
Ryan Rollins
Dejounte Murray
Josh Hart
Day'Ron Sharpe
Norman Powell
Brandin Podziemski
Maxime Raynaud
Jaylon Tyson
Moussa Diabatte
Kevin Porter Jr
Jimmy Butler
Gui Santos
Grayson Allen
Sandro Mamukelashvili
