Hi, need info bad for my fantasy teams. Is Mike James going to start for you guys ? Or will Juan Dixon and Deshawn get a chance to redeem themselves ?

Thank you.

^ I have no idea what this coaching staff is doing as far as rotations. Starting doesn't necessarily equaly minutes with the Wiz. Our starting C is averating 6-8 mpg lately. They definitely favor vets over young players so James will definitely get minutes. Not sure if he'll start, though.

Dixon would have to lose the job - he's played his best ball the last 3 games - averaging 14.3 points and 6.3 assists while shooting 54% - making all his FTs and hitting a few 3s. Of course, he's been known to be a tad streaky.

James will be moved to starter once Crittenton gets the minutes to demonstrate that he is more effective than James.

Now when did the good professor upgrade you with a humor algorithm? Thank him for me, it's working pretty well.

As for the issue currently on the floor: I cannot in good conscience recommend that you consider Mike James anything less than an extremely unattractive option for a fantasy team. How deep must your league be that you'd even consider it? Mike would be an unattractive option as a fantasy option even if Tapps forgot he was allowed to sub him out, or oiled up and covered only by a strategically placed bow. Adding grease to that dome sounds like it'd work better as a sun-powered death ray than a fantasy, to me anyway.

your league is too watered down if you're looking to pick james off waivers.

In the world of tankology, this is exactly why he would lose his job.

Either Tankscott is the dumbest guy on the planet or he is a mad genius inventing ways to guarantee losing.

What do you all think? Village Idiot or Crazy Genius?

You guys love to blame the coaches, but you gotta look at what they have to work with. There's a thing called reality that sometimes goes by the wayside here. :eek1:

Mike James, inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday, scored 16 points to lead the Wizards.....

James took Juan Dixon’s spot in the starting lineup. Tapscott said James will remain there for at least the next several games. …

At least James is building up his trade value unlike D-Suckashawn. I think there is a good chance he could be traded in a deal like James+Juan for (a contract half of the value that expires in 2010) and an expiring.

yungal07 · Post #15 » by **yungal07** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:00 am

^^^Exactly mhd. Let him play and put up some numbers. Then he'll be tradeable at the deadline...hopefully for an expiring. Then we can open up minutes for JCritt.

I could easily see James being part of a trade to get Hughes back in Washington in a couple months, prior to the deadline.

I hope we package DeShawn with him if Hughes is coming here.
