Drop JR Smith, Foye or Thornton 

Post#1 » by The Big Dog » Thu Nov 6, 2008 4:52 am

Someone panicked and dropped Dunleavy, if I pick him up, who should I drop? Foye, JR Smith, or Thornton? I also have Ellis, should I drop him instead? Or should I just keep them and not pick up Dunleavy?

I wouldn't drop JR Smith... Thornton has played better than I thought he would so... I guess that leaves Foye.

do not drop foye he will pick it up and be a beast I see 12-16 pts 6 ast 1.5 stl and 1.8 3's

drop ellis he may not even play this year and if he does will be a shell of his former self.
also remember G state is terrible and they wont force him back early so he may come play 15 games and call it a yr.

I would drop Thorton of the origanal 3 as he doesnt do much but score.

I would drop Foye before Thornton. I'd be careful on picking up Dunleavy right now. He was dropped in my league also but after hearing the news on him yesterday I wouldn't pick him up if I were you. He still had no timetable to return and it doesn't appear that it will be anytime soon. Once he returns, tendinitis is such an unpredictable injury that he could be right back out. I'd hold on to your players until the release some better news.

do not drop foye!!! you will wish you didn't for sure, he's going to pick it up big-time as the t-wolves are building around big al and him. the benching is to motivate him and it will. he's too talented to be this bad, and I predict he will have super value still (15ppg, 6assists, 2+ threes)

I'm a little worried that dunleavy's knee problems keep sounding more serious so i probably would stay away from him...that said, I think dun's got a better chance to have a big impact this year than ellis. I'm not sure that Monta will ever get to 100% this year, and his relationship with the warrior front office is really rocky right now, so I would drop ellis to get dunleavy and cross your fingers the knee doesn't need surgery.

but don't drop foye!!

I think you are blind on Foye. I know he has a lot of talent and he should be better than he is... but it's not happening. In fact, Telfair is starting to eat into his time already.
