Hello, plebes. It is I; your Supreme Overlord!
Fantastic, if not strange, season we had. Congrats to EE for a very strong showing, willing a not very good roster to a championship game. Also, congrats are in order for Obie...way to not come in last place bud! I will be texting TuneSquad to make sure he relives this shame daily.
As for keepers: obviously no one needs to put them in just yet, but here is the spot for it when the time comes.
Obviously I need to keep the core of my TWO-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPIONS together, so I will be keeping:
Delon Wright Khem Birch Sekou Doumboya Brook Lopez Jordan Clarkson ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Anthony Davis Nikola Jokic Luka Doncic Klay Thompson Jonathan Isaac*
*Subject to change

I will likely be keeping KAT, Zion, Randle and Ja.
My final keeper will probably be one of: Mikal Bridges Miles Bridges Garland Boucher Timelord Barrett
Alternatively, open to trades.

Congrats on the W. Your roster was just too dominant. My roster, well, they sure tried their best but I don't think even my full roster - with OG, Garland, Dipo, Grant etc up and running - would have won.
PG, Siakam, Bam are my locks as keepers. Ayton is but I'm disappointed in his stats as he took a step back this season. So much for developing a 3pt shot, that never panned out. That said, hard to pass up his all-around line.
Brogdon is awesome but so damn injury prone. Oladipo is good but not as good as Brogdon and even more injury prone. Kemba is constantly missing games and while he had some good games to close the season, he's been underwhelming, The Morons have some really nice young guards and I can expect reduced minutes / more load management from him. Murray is really solid all-around but hard to trust Spurs. The Pistons are going to suck again next season in all realism, so no thanks to Jerami Grant. I actually really liked what Wiggins gave me but have to figure Klay coming back and more contributions from Wiseman should reduce his usage.
So my 5th keeper is likely Jrue. Rough start getting used to a new team and then missing games due to COVID protocols. Since the AS break though he has been pretty much FVV with one less three a game but a WAY better FG%.

I'd go PG, Sikam, BAM, Brogdon, Jrue..and just hope for health
Murray made it interesting down the stretch putting up good #'s to make 5th keeper considered.
I'll end up going Butler..unless Drummond signs with a crappy team to get stats

Brogdon has played 5 seasons. The last 4 he has missed 34, 18, 19, 11 games. Even the most optimistic fantasy player ever might not see much hope here.
Say what you will about Ayton but he hasn't missed a game this season (the Suns in general have actually been blessed with very good health). 14.5ppg 10.6rpg 1.2bpg 62.5fg% makes him feel like a slightly better Tristan Thompson but hopefully at just 22 he still has more upside left and gets more to the 18.2ppg 11.5rpg 1.5bpg of last season.
Honestly I actually really like Murray and if DeRozan - and his high usage rate w/ 21.4ppg 7.1apg - leaves as a free agent, I'll certainly bump him up in consideration. With more usage, I can see him being an 18-7-7 player who adds in threes/steals and doesn't kill you in FG%, FT% or turnovers.

oh damn, forgot about Ayton Yea..gotta have a big..I'd keep Ayton and more than likely your first round pick is going to be keeper worthy If Murray was on the Magic he'd be 3rd or 4th keeper worthy
Damn Pop tho..and the 14 other guards on the roaster

Yup. At least the team seems committed to Murray based on the contract they gave him and his consistent role - only player on the Spurs aside from DeRozan who saw over 30mpg. Assuming the let all their veteran free agents go - DeRozan, Gay, Mills etc - the team can enter that long overdue youth movement and that could mean big things for Murray.

I'll just acquire KP to go with PG, Dipo, Brogdon, Kemba and just call my team "The Injured List"

I'd be closer to trading LeBron than Steph. Though it's extremely likely I keep both.
Steph is slowing becoming my favorite player in the league. Definitely my favorite to watch.

*Hijack...
30% of all of NC is out of gas 72% of Raleigh, North Carolina is out of gas.. not sure how your states are doing, but it's chaos here I fill up every Saturday, so I'm good for probably 5 more days There's a store half a mile from my work that still has some. and there were 18 cars lined up at 7am this morning
Some videos we got going viral of fights while waiting in line Fun times

Ayton'd last 4 games
8-8-0 with 2 blocks 6-6-2 with 1 block 26-15-1 with 1 block 7-8-3 with 1 block
The 3 games where he scored sub-10, the Suns lost
In the Warriors loss, he took 5 shots. Behind 5 other players and tied with Frank Kaminsky and Torrey Craig In the Hawks loss, he took 4 shots. Behind 5 other players and tied with Torrey Craig, Jevon Carter and E'Twuan Moore. In the Lakers loss, he took 3 shots. Behind 7 other players - including Torre Craig - and tied with Dario Saric.
In what world does it make sense that Ayton average 4 shots a game, rank 6th or worse in shots and basically be an equitable offensive option to Torrey Freakin' Craig.

My dynasty team thus far in the other league, we are doing a slow 12 hour draft, I drafted both Kevin Porter Jr and Michael Porter Jr.
Should I draft Otto Porter Jr. just for shiggles?
