So far I have a Harden, Curry, Draymond core (80 percent max exposure). Those seem like safe spend up options tonight?

I have a feeling Barrett plays less tonight. Fizdale said he wants to get a look at DSJ and Payton, which is why Frank is out, and that Trier would be in the 2nd unit. That’s a lot of guards, I’m guessing Barrett loses some minutes tonight.

You’ve seen the warriors roster right?

J/K not serious at all just felt like firing some shots

Are the Raptors playing regulars? Namely Pascal Siakam?

I’m torn between Draymond and Siakam. The Lakers starting 5 has me leaning away from Green

Blowout risk for warriors since the lakers are sitting most rotation guys

Since you guys are all super helpful can I get a recap on who is running a dress rehearsal?

Spurs, GSW, and Memphis? With us expecting HOU to get full run based on D’Antoni’s commets? Anybody else?

Knicks.

IDC about blowouts in the preseason. The Rockets were supposed to be blown out and the opposite happened. Curry and CO going to get their work in after a rough preseason. They will at least play into the 3rd. They can crush it in 25 minutes vs the Lakers F League team

I believe Brooklyn may be as well.

Yeah, it’s been a regular firing squad around here lately

Welcome to the party, pal LOL

Play Siakam and it’s not even close for me

We’re all playing Awesemo right?

Who plays more minutes? Thybulle or KCP

Why do people think the Warriors will suck? They have 3 all star players in their starting lineup, and Kerr is smart enough to stagger them so that they always have at least Russell and Curry on the floor carrying the ball up. Then you have Draymond and Looney who should see a bigger role this year. Klay might be back before the playoffs.

I’m not sure I remember that far back but didn’t the Warriors win with just Curry, Klay and Draymond?

I have some. I like Norvell more and possibly Cakok but I have Awesemo a bit

Just got through everything on DK and right now before I make any final tweaks my core will basically be Harden, Embiid, Cacock, Siakiam, Ingram, Ibaka. May swap Embiid for Curry. Gonna decide for sure what i want my ownership % to be after I get my FD lineup done

Lol, the Warriors will definitely NOT suck. They’re just not a rubber-stamp to get out of the West…for once

I’m at like 50% right now

who is Awesemo?

Not so much that they will suck, but that the West is so deep. Tough to make a case that they finish in the top 8. The biggest issue not having Klay. I think that will really hurt Draymond’s game. I expect Klay to be back sometime after all star break, but I don’t think he will be 100%. Guys with that injury usually are better their second year back.

Some unholy combination of “the West is loaded,” wishcasting and whistling past the graveyard, near as I can tell.

What’s the Beal news? He dropped from 28 to 12 mins in HQ
