or don't + KAT thoughts + dumbest players in the league + more
Welcome! This League is 3 friends (Josh, John, Cam) texting about basketball. Maybe we’ll send something new often. Maybe we won’t.
Today’s topic? We decided to start a fantasy NBA league. And oh yeah KAT was traded.
JOIN THE FANTASY LEAGUE
Okay, so here’s our fantasy NBA League. There are 16 teams and we’re gonna auto-draft and you’re reading this within the sound of this newsletter, you can join it.
It’s a public league.
And the auto-draft will be next Sunday, Oct 20 so have your rosters set by then.
Here’s the fantasy league link again.
9 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY
John:
Wut
Is this real
So Shams just gets all of them now I guess?
What a giant turd in the punch bowl of Knicks chemistry
Bigger turd than Randle. This seems like a really bad idea.
Cam:
Yep
Knicks fans will lose their minds over playoff Towns
John:
This is maybe the worst take I’ve seen this year
Knicks are gonna be so weird with him
Hardworking dudes who all know each other and the huge chip on the shoulder and the garden and Thibs and... this guy
Cam:
This sums it up perfectly
Josh:
I decided I like it for Wolves. Randle makes less & isn’t as dumb
Now KAT is 3rd option on a good team with no depth tho
Josh: Wolves will be better because Randle has the same numbers & Edwards is going off this year so they'll be better
Cam: Arguably the best team chemistry in the league… So let’s add Karl Towns
Josh: Wasn’t he captain on our dumbest players in the league draft
Cam:
That seems to ring a bell
Oh I have zero doubt
One of the ones we parking lotted for the pod
Who else did we have on that squad?
Assuming Jordan Poole is a given
John: We gotta dig into the Archives
My question is how does this impact the Wolves' playoff hopes. Last year Towns and Gobert absolutely sank them
Obviously Naz gets more minutes?
John:
Is Gobert alone being a prominent figure not enough to destroy their chances?
John:
Is Randle’s crazy not quite as detrimental cause at least he’s feisty-whiny and not just whiny-whiny?
Cam:
Pod worthy take
Cam:
I actually think DiVincenzo will thrive on that squad
John:
Ohhh I forgot
Yeah he will
John:
He and McDaniels will get along
Cam:
Could even start him and bring Jayden McDaniels off the bench
Cam:
And Dillingham will be instant offense for them off the bench
John:
I bet Mike Conley is excited
John:
Conley - DiVincenzo - Edwards - McDaniels - Reid is a really fun small ball lineup
Josh:
Gobert & KAT are both unplayable at end of playoff games so at least you get rid of 1
Josh:
I hate the Knicks but I was tempted to get this
XXL tho
John:
That’s an amazing find
Cam:
I feel like we need to discuss Bronny on the pod. Have you guys gotten to watch him yet?
Josh:
No, but I saw he went 1/6 the other night
Cam:
From what I’ve seen, it’s painful. And I would say it’s unfair to him, except he’s getting $9 mil
Josh:
I wonder how he performs compared to other guys picked in the 50s. Most of those guys don’t get $9M deals though
Cam:
James Wiseman – 2024/25 Most Improved Player Award
Calling my shot now.
