ya young thaddeus' injury really opens up an opportunity for young. good post levity.

speights is like 90% of pick-ups: he's playing well short-term so if you have someone to drop, ride the hot hand and see what happens.

jstarks: good question. i can't say i've paid a ton of attention to ORL this year; my gut says byron.

Dudley, Webster or Jamison ROY? Who will hold more value?

Jamison ROY? Jamison rookie of the year? What does that even mean?

Clearly Dudley out of that group

I apologize.

With gasol and diwght howards situation, along with how webster has been playing, and factoring dudley's situation with the suns, i was wondering who would have the most value for the rest of the year.

I don't think you'll get enough consistency with Harkless this year. Even with all the opportunities due to injury in ORL I think you'll be wait for Harkless' potential til next season or later. He'll have game where you'll regret dropping him but they will be few in far between.

Keep Mullens, his FG% can be murder but he can give you a little in all the other cat. Plus with no one else in the post in CHA he wasted no time getting back into a groove upon his return.

dudley's fine. why do people keep panicking over him? there are ups and downs with every player. learn patience instead of trying to drop someone who has pretty much proven to be rock solid by now.

^^^dudley has such a fantasy friendly style of play it's hard see him struggling for much longer.

What's your thoughts on MWP for the rest of the season? He's been stinking it up recently. Do you think he can return to the level he was playing at earlier with all the injuries now in LAL or does the laziness/phone it in mindset seep in as the playoffs become out of reach.

Also was he playing PF when he was posting most of his impressive fantasy stats

Apathy · Post #228 » by **Apathy** » Sat Feb 9, 2013 9:34 pm

id stick with him because gasol and d12 are two candidates to be shut down

i agree, strongly believe he should be PF.

Dudley's been struggling ever since Gentry got fired and Beasley started getting huge minutes. I don't see him being a good fantasy player for the rest of the season. He's not getting the minutes or the touches.

Correlation does not equal causation. He started off the season terribly; he started off much worse than he's been recently. Then he went oops upside the L for a minute. SSS.

Ricky Rubio or Jose Calderon have staying power? Thoughts on Kyle Korver? For what its worth my team is

PG Lowry, Holiday, D-will
SG- Kawhi Leonard
SF/PF- Ilyasova, AK47, Gay, Parsons
PF- Aldridge, Farried
C- Chandler, Ryan Anderson, Sanders

Looking to get rid of Chandler

9 cat, 8 teams

Apathy · Post #232 » by **Apathy** » Sun Feb 10, 2013 5:57 pm

Korver's unsurprisingly posting near-1st round value recently. Obviously a stud. Rubio and Calderon are obviously awesome. Call me crazy but I take Calderon over D-Will. Parsons is t50 the past 30 games; it's Gay who sucks (94th). Unless you mean Tyson, which would be dum cuz NYK playoff schedule is priy gud.

Any chance Gay turns it on in Toronto?

He'll improve through sheer volume but he's gonna kill your FG% even more. Decent stats in a vacuum but extremely annoying to build around in fantasy. Name + high PPG + perceived upside = good trade bait.

Speaking of good trade bait my trade with him finally went through. Traded him for Chris Bosh.

Dudley with a whopping 8 minutes of playing time last night and 14 minutes the game before that. Like I said, he's not going to get big minutes anymore with this dumbass coach.

Apathy · Post #237 » by **Apathy** » Mon Feb 11, 2013 5:39 pm

weren't you the same guy who said it was time to dump kyle lowry?

are you paying any attention to the L at all? do i need to direct you to the trade rumors engulfing dudley?

I didn't say to dump him. I told a guy not to trade for him and that was before the Calderon trade when he was playing like crap. Lowry hasn't even been that spectacular either way. He's had 2 decent games out of the last 5.

What do the rumours have to do with his playing time? Even if he were traded, he'd most likely be coming off the bench getting limited minutes anyways. Phoenix is the best situation for him fantasy-wise, but unfortunately, the coach doesn't want to give him playing time.

-shrugs- i have no problem agreeing to disagree

Blasphemy · Post #240 » by **Blasphemy** » Tue Feb 12, 2013 5:46 pm

I'd drop Dudley for a hot FA - reason being I really think the Suns will move him, and Dudley at best is suited for the bench. Suns is in a complete tank mode right now playing Kendal Marshall at the 2!
