Big shoes to fill. The old Colt had a large reputation. One as big as a nuke trade set off at 1am after to much aqua vitae.
I like the new Colt! The injury bug does too. he has sustained a consonant set of INJ tags throughout his tenure with the Dynasty. To this point he said, “disappointed in injuries happening at inconvenient times.” No one said it would be easy finding your legs in the greatest fantasy basketball league in history, but this hasn’t helped his journey. Colt, aka ‘Pain. Suffering.,’ hasn’t been afraid to deal assets to help improve his roster that is centered around Ja Morant, KPJ, Time Lord, and Bol Bol (included is the best trade he has ever made *link) who he acquired ALL of them via trade. Don’t ever question his zeal to make his team better via trade. He also acquired J. Ivey via the first pick of the 22’ draft. He also passed up on young star P. Banchero to get him.
So where does Colt see his team now that he is 1-9 with what seemed to be a roster that could be closer to .500 at the end of the year?
“I like my roster but I’m looking to get rid of a couple guys when the draft comes around. I’m fine with my spots and not willing to overpay for a top 3 pick. Alec would be difficult.”
When asked how he felt about his roster, the disappointment of 1-9, and if he will look to jump up in the draft as his highest pick this coming year in the draft is 5th. He currently holds Mark and Dallas’ picks. Eric holds his 23’ pick.
I don’t think this edition of I.T.D would be complete without examining his past trades:
Rozier / Kuzma to Eric for Okadipo (WW) & Robert Williams. —- trade grade: B —- I don’t mind this trade at all. He gets better over the long haul with what I’d call win-now fringe guys moving off his roster and a centerpiece in Williams coming over (barring health).
Trade — he acquired Levert, Bol Bol, and 2 2nd (23’ & 24’) trade grade: B+ —- another solid trade especially with the addition of Bol Bol and his breakout season.
Trade — THIS IS A GOOD TRADE — he acquired K. Murray for J. Hart. Trade grade: A+ — that’s what I’m talking about!
Not what I’m talking about: Dlo for Tate // KPJ & J. Allen for Sexton & Draymond // Aaron Gordon for Eric’s 23’ 1st (with Alec). // TRADE if he drafted Banchero this is t a problem but Murray, J. Smith jr. Is better than Ivey.
All in all — Colt is a large benefit to this league. Zach and Colt Duke were a sore spot to a great league and we more than welcome Contuzenburg.
