Good pickup on Lin. I was about to pick him up after his first big game and drop Chandler Parsons but I didn't want to create a positional logjam. Big mistake!

Hopefully he can keep it up. If so, he's going to help my team tremendously since I was in need of a PG.

He was going to be my last round pick this year except he didn't have a team.

Everything about this fantasy season has just gone horribly wrong.

I meant in FFL, in case anyone wonders what the heck I was talking about.

I swear Niko Pekovic is going to be a better keeper than Jeremy Lin. Kid's got Ricky Rubio getting him the ball and Kevin Love attracting all the defensive attention.

A star is born.

Well, I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to win TOs with Lin.

Looks like I'm going to squeak out a win against East, as that was really close in 6 categories. The only clear advantage I had was in rebounds and turnovers, and East had assists. Helped that I three players today with 20/10 in points/rebs (Thornton, Love, Gortat) and another with a triple dub in points/rebs/blocks (Ibaka).

I have yet to see him play a game live, but I've never seen so many turnovers before in my life. It can't bode well for long-term value sakes, you'd think, right? Or maybe he's just shaking off years worth of rust (in a fast-system at that). Luckily the rest of his stats are there and he maintains some fantasy value.

I think he'll be fine and he's here to stay. I think he'll bring his TOs down to 3 or 4 a game by the end of the season, but we'll see. I hope he keeps it up as he's the guy that has taken my team from .500 to pretty good.

Good game Ham! I was wondering when my luck would run out.

Lin's numbers are almost as good as Isiaiah Thomas's numbers.

Tried to nab them both -- but you beat me to the punch on Thomas. Both are in great positions without other viable PGs on the roster.

Wow; my collection of youth is pretty mediocre considering I've been rebuilding for two years. Middle of the road in the standings, and no super-stud in the making. I blame it on all of the aging veterans that I held onto for too long... and some giveaway trades for some mediocre future 1sts.

Why did our trade dead line pass already? I thought it was usually a couple days after the real one.

Can we void this season since stick gave my boy Kob to AlciG for two first rounders? What an absolute traveshammockery that we let that one go through.

Who am I taking over again, "apathy"? Just checking my draft picks.

Willing to deal anyone other than Griffin and Monroe for draft picks. Tyreke available for a first.

After the fallout from that other league's (NBA) trade deadline I think there were some definite winners but very few losers.

The Team is very happy with the results. Portland clear out Gerald Wallace will return both Wesley Matthews and Nicholas Batum to their starting roles. Nene will now be paired up with John Wall and should hopefully see some better looks. Being on a weak team should give him more touches as well. Finally, Jordan Hill is out of the log jam at the 4/5 in Houston and should get more PT as the first big off them bench in LALA land. The only negative impact we see is to Pat Patterson but he will still see back up PF minutes and is more of a long term project.

The Sons of Disaster should be happy to see Roman Sessions moving into a starting role even if he has to share minutes with Steve Blake.

FloppyMoose should see big dividends with Wallace moving to NJ. He will be the second option and is playing with a better point guard.
