This won't be a popular choice but I'd drop Gordon

Plz trade Bosh asap in a 2-for-1 so you can pick up Splitter again

Bosh + Lillard for BPA

Yeah I want to trade Bosh asap.

Splitter is not available though.

With Rondo out for the season are Jason Terry or Avery Bradley worth an add?

Apathy · Post #205 » by **Apathy** » Sun Jan 27, 2013 7:43 pm

Probably not.

I said before the year Terry was a huge risk and wanted nothing to do with him. Now he's proven he's done. Short guards drop off very quickly once they reach their 30s. There might be a dead-cat bounce, but not much more than that. Bradley's game isn't fantasy friendly. Neither can masquerade as PGs effectively. It's just an ugly time share situation in a ugly, no-upside offense. Streamers and deep leaguers can apply. Anything resembling a competitive 10- or 12-team league should probably move on.

I think the best case would be Bradley getting all the minutes he could handle (36-37 mpg per game) and barely squeaking out fringe value.

So what's the low down on Ramon Sessions?
I saw this guy floating on my waiver-list right now, and was wondering if there was any obvious reason why (minutes/conflicts/injured teammates/anything like that?)...

I'm in a 10-cat league (which includes FTs made and FT%) so Ramon would pay basically huge dividends considering he's one of the leaders in both those categories.

I was wondering if I should drop Jarrett Jack for this guy?

Matt Barnes or Earl Clark? I have Barnes now and Clark comes off waiver in the am. I feel like Barnes slowing down has been from Paul not playing and creating good looks for him. Tough because Barnes is pretty efficient and a good glue guy.

Apathy · Post #210 » by **Apathy** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 12:25 am

go w/ the hot hand. right now it's clark. jump ship asap when it starts to dry up.

fantasyballin · Post #211 » by **fantasyballin** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 12:37 am

Yeah you're prob right. I could drop aminu too and hang onto the 3s from barnes...

fantasyballin · Post #212 » by **fantasyballin** » Fri Feb 1, 2013 5:38 am

Ends up I dropped all done Davis for Clark, not to shabby. Trying to get Nick Young for Matt Barnes tho, find out in the AM.

Bayless or Nicholson?

Apathy · Post #214 » by **Apathy** » Sun Feb 3, 2013 1:25 am

Id take Nicholson. Tough to project what he'll get but Bayless is turrible.

Cuats · Post #215 » by **Cuats** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 8:43 am

I dropped Ridnour for Nate Robinson.

Now I'm also thinking of dropping Drummond for Taj.

yakkoinfront · Post #216 » by **yakkoinfront** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 10:54 am

What do you guys think about Nick Young?

The kid has been posting incredible numbers the past few weeks. A report this week just announced that he may retain the starting role even upon Richardson's return. How do you think he'll measure up to Granger long-term?

Apathy · Post #217 » by **Apathy** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 5:09 pm

Um, not close?

I am continually amazed at people's ability to overlook long-term trends (which, in reality, are the only ones that matter) in favor of short-term fluctuations. We know who Nick Young is. We know who Danny Granger is. What a silly question!

Nick Young = Michael Beasley = terrible. They have a 2-4 week hot stretch every year. That's it.

do you guys like marreese speights fantasy value now that hes with the cavs. hes already getting more minutes that zeller in his 5 games since coming to cleveland. and in those games, hes averaged 15/7 and seems to be improving with every contest. Coach scott has made vocal his praise for speights. Cleveland has a pretty nice play off schedule, so for people looking for a big to give you points/boards while still hitting assists, steals and blocks, do you guys think speights would be a good pick up?

personally, i dont really like nick young. but it may be worth noting that thadeus young is out for at least 3 weeks as well, so the scoring load will have to go to someone. i could see nick benefiting from this. but i dont see him as a long term solution
