I only have 16 players on my roster, but I got some odds and ends remaining on the yahoo roster. Should I drop them, or do they get edited later on.
One additional thing which may be important to you. The team that u took over finished 8th last season. This means, u have the #8 initial waiver wire position. This is important b/c once Eja uploads rosters there is ~2day waiver period. There are always interesting players initially on the wire, e.g. international players, undrafted guys, etc...
These are last year's initial waiver claims:
Oct 28 3:22am Bojan Bogdanovic Utah Flash
Oct 28 3:22am Kostas Papanikolaou ChampKind's X-Tacles
Oct 28 3:22am Kevin Garnett Juggernauts
Oct 28 3:22am Chris Copeland Birdman
Oct 28 3:22am Donald Sloan Ubuntu Y'all!
Oct 28 3:22am Quincy Pondexter Tyrion's Team
Oct 28 3:22am Solomon Hill Kwhit10
Oct 28 3:22am Glenn Robinson III Jackalopes
Oct 28 3:22am Glen Rice Jr. Toine's Boys
Oct 28 3:22am Alexey Shved Utah Flash
Oct 28 3:22am Jimmer Fredette Tyrion's Team
Oct 28 3:22am Patty Mills Kwhit10Not too impressive, huh? It's not as bad as it looks... really!!!
- By the end of the season Bogdanovic was by far the best player from this group.
- Solomon is a good long term prospect.
- Kostas, Copeland, and Quincy all got hot during the first half of the season and had pretty decent trade value.
- Alexey "Better Off" Shved was traded IRL a couple of times and had a ton of value once he landed on the Knicks.
There are certainly a few interesting players on the waiver wire this season. You may want to put out some claims....Or not, ur #8 waiver position is likely to improve. This may come in handy later in the season b/c GMs always drop some good players.
Even more important than that, throughout the season there will be at least 6-12 really good players scooped up by the opportunistic GMs. Here are a few of the players who were FAs picked up for nothing:
Clint Capela
Jordan Clarkson
Robert Covington
Hassan Whiteside
Thomas Robinson
Mirza Teletovic
Tony Snell
Walter Tavares
Festus Ezeli
Nikola Jokic
To me, the waiver wire has always been better than the rookie draft b/c there can be elite talent, it doesn't cost anything, and you can add as many as u want.
Anyway, this is something to think about.
