Karl-Anthony Towns for Michael Porter Jr. and Paolo Banchero in my Yahoo Fantasy Basketball 9-cat league.

Would you accept this , or is KAT too valuable to give up?

Someone in my league just dropped Mikel Brown Jr, 10 team Dynasty, how much FAAB would you spend on him? Everyone has 100 FAAB per season.

The board now moves with the season. Two things changed.

1. The Live price

Every player already had two prices that never change: the IPO price (where the pre-draft boards had him) and the MARK (where he finished after his first season). The new Live price is a third one. It asks what each player would be priced at today if his class were re-ranked on this season’s games so far.

The formula is the same one that sets the MARK, run on current stats:

• Per game: PTS + 0.7×REB + 1.5×AST + 1.8×STL + 1.8×BLK − TO
• Multiplied by (games played ÷ his team’s games)^0.25, so a player who’s missed time gets a gentle haircut and not a punishing one
• Multiplied again by games played ÷ 10 if he has fewer than 10 games, so a hot two-game start can’t vault anyone to #1

Players are then ranked inside their own draft class on that class’s price ladder, where #1 = $1,000. Live never changes the IPO or MARK, so you can always see where a player started, where he finished and where he is right now. Anyone under 15 games gets a SMALL SAMPLE tag, and a player with no games yet shows a dash. The numbers refresh every morning after the previous night’s games are in.

2. 9C EPS and Per-36 are now in-season NBA numbers

These columns used to be pre-draft college and overseas production. On the quote boards they now come from this season’s NBA stats, the same data the Live price uses. (The pre-draft versions are still on each player’s page, labelled pre-draft.)

9C EPS is a nine-category z-score. For each category, a player’s per-game number is compared with the other players in his class who have played, measured in standard deviations from that group’s average. Then the categories are weighted and added up:

• Full weight (1.0) on points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and threes made
• 0.6 on FG%, 0.25 on FT%
• 0.15 on turnovers, flipped so fewer is better

Per-36 does the same thing on a per-36-minute basis. Each counting stat is scaled to 36 minutes first, so a bench player who produces in limited minutes isn’t buried by his role. The result is then re-centred to the same average and spread as 9C EPS, so the two columns are directly comparable.

Caveats

• We’re only a handful of games in, so everything swings a lot. Treat early numbers as a snapshot, not a verdict.
• Each class is only measured against its own players. A 9C EPS of +5 in the 2026 class and +5 in the 2021 class are not the same thing, and older classes have smaller groups.
• Players who haven’t played yet show dashes, and the incoming 2027 class keeps its pre-draft numbers.

Also cleaned up the quote board: Post-SL, PEM and LTSU are no longer columns (the PEM and LTSU gauges are still on each player page).

I’m considering trading away Karl-Anthony Towns (KAT) in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. (MPJ) and Paolo Banchero in a 9-cat H2H league.

My question: Is this a good trade for my team in 9-cat?

I traded:
Jokic
Derrick white

I received:
Banchero
Amen Thompson

My reasoning: Already have embiid and can only start one center a night so jokic was a luxury. Got auto drafted Derrick white by accident in the auction draft and hated the pick.

Finalized the deal yesterday. 16-team points keeper league. And Amen Thompson is one of the better keeper assets in the league.

What do we think, Reddit fam? Did i do a good job?

I’m starting to think there is no hope for this guy. I’m going to have to cut someone off my roster soon with Coby White coming back. Other cut options are:

Deandre Hunter
Malik Monk
Brice Sensabaugh

Would you cut any of these guys over Holland?
(Points league)

I know he’s questionable for the next game. And in redraft obviously everyone is very excited for Ajay. But in Dynasty, how does this season/stretch coming up without Jdub change the outlook for Ajay? Top 100 dynasty asset? Higher?

I’m in a 10 team points league and I have Ty and Ayo . Was offered this trade this morning. Do I pull the trigger?

I have a stacked team ATM, and have a good chance of winning the ship. I have 2 other stars in maxey and Johnson, but I also have guys like Kawhi and Embid who are getting older.

I’m in a 12 man points league. Startup was this year and I am seriously considering trading him as I am contending but my center room is not great, considering it is Jarrett Allen, Donovan Clingan, and Mitchell Robinson. The player who holds embiid in my league is looking to trade into a rebuild. Should I use a first to upgrade to embiid, or should I hold both my centers and pray for the best?
