RR NBA Dynasty League (S5)

In other news it's not looking good for Ben Simmons this season. They're being extremely cautious. It's probably in my teams best interest that he's shut down but still I really wanted to see him play.

[Joey]

Dion Waiters has really made this trade deadline and off-season difficult for me ... he wasn't supposed to be an extension candidate...

[Joey]

Oh and Khris Middleton is looking quite healthy out there; 20 points, 7 assists, 3 steals, 3 rebounds, 1 3, 54%FG, 100%FT. In 26 minutes. 4th game back.

[Mack North]

Delon Wright - 10 years

[Cody73]

Speaking of everything coming up at the deadline, Matthews, Williams & Morris are available. Looking to get back players that have consistent playing time &/or low draft picks.

Anyone else is also up for grabs, but I want guys coming back that I can count on playing.

[Apollo]

I would be interested in some of those guys but I wouldn't be able to resign them. Good luck, they're a trio of players that could help a team.

[Joey]

Sooo Jamal Murray just LIT UP the Rising Stars game and won MVP .. Holy cow ... 36 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 9 3's and 69%FG.

EDIT: Also, the only "A+" given by ESPN on their assessment of the game. All in all, a good All-Star Friday Night for the Monstars I'd say.

[Miekenstien]

in the off season are we allowed to go over 15 roster spots in the rookie draft and sort it out later or do our rosters have to have space for every rookie at time of drafting?

[Apollo]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter until the deadline Joey sets before the auction.

In other news, I never counted until Joey posted that ESPN link above but I had five players in the rising stars challenge. They all performed well but special shout outs are in order to Porzingis and Hield who both absolutely killed it.

Murray needs to remember that Ben Simmons wasn't on the floor(Simmons would have been #6 for me, wow extremely young team)

I remember a similar discussion about this a few years ago but I believe that was resulting from trades. Will have to dig deeper into the memory bank to be sure if there is any precedent.

i remember it happening in trades as well but couldn't remember from the draft.
