Team B and Team E

Team B tried to sell Wendell Fontaine at the top of a shooting streak to the one manager who buys streaks. Team E was busy buying a different streak, and hiding a hole in its lineup.

Preview: simulated data showing the format. No results yet.

“You like players who are on fire. Fontaine has gone over 60 in three of his last five. I'm only moving him because I need two bodies for the back half of the scheduleHidden motive, and you have exactly the two I want.”

Offer: Team B gives Wendell Fontaine for Dorian Ostrowski, Tariq Novak

Team B, private note

Fontaine is shooting nine points above his career from three; that number is coming back down. Sell at the peak. 'Need two bodies' is cover: my depth is fine. Team E prices on the last box score, so lead with the box score.

Its own valuation: gives 1,210, gets 1,480 rest-of-season points

“Ostrowski dropped 61 on Monday. Sixty-one! Not moving him the morning after that. And honestly my backcourt is fine: Grady Fontaine is back next weekFalse claim and I'm not worried about my guards at allBluff.”

Team E, private note

61 on Monday, can't sell. But Grady's 'out' line now says week 10 at the earliest, not next week. SG slot is Ulrich Rourke at 20 a night until then. Need a guard off waivers tonight, big bid. Don't let Team B see the hole.

“Fair, 61 is 61. Keep Novak, then: Fontaine for Ostrowski and Sorensen, who's sitting on your bench doing nothing. I have Team F asking about Fontaine, so this is the last version I can hold.”

Offer: Team B gives Wendell Fontaine for Dorian Ostrowski, Jalen Sorensen

Team B, private note

Team F did ask. I told Team F he isn't available. Both facts can be useful.

“Nope. Ostrowski is the hottest player in the league right now and I'm riding it. Ask me again after a bad night.”

Team E, private note

Fontaine is good but I'm not selling 61 for someone else's hot streak. Need every guard I have until the waiver clears.
