Yeah, but anyone can get injured. Barkley could break his foot or something and then what?Ghosted wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2018 5:48 pm Great point. I said in another post my goal would be to buy back years and get a + on top of it by selling older studs (DJ, Bell). If you have Barkley as "your guy," it would be a great option to trade down in a start-up, if possible. Conversely, as I pointed out above, if you didn't feel like you could make that happen, you could still just pick him and trust that his value will be insulated, regardless of what happens. He's actually much "safer" than he's given credit for. Gurley pops another knee, or Zeke another suspension, and they might not actually be as insulated, if that makes sense. There's inherent value built in to Barkley being so clean.
Taking him at 1.01 basically means you're buying at the highest value possible and you need to see him confirm it. Barkley will be really good, but it's a weird way to start a team in dynasty.
