ADVICE

Negotiate Smart, Don't Feel Forced

  • Negotiate actively and only make buy-low trades that make sense for your roster and risk tolerance.
  • Don't feel forced to trade; process and context matter more than copying specific player-for-player suggestions.
INSIGHT

Vucevic Should Revert Toward Mid-Round Value

  • Nikola Vucevic is underperforming his expected mid-round center value and likely rebounds toward his projection.
  • Expect improvements in shooting and rebounding, but not a return to top-25 production.
ADVICE

Wait Two Weeks Before Judging Trades

  • Give buy-low recommendations time to marinate and re-evaluate after two weeks before judging success.
  • Use small sample awareness to avoid overreacting to short slumps or hot streaks.
