Neat idea! I'm thinking Stuckey. His value is skyrocketing the way his playing and he was available on waivers in a couple of my leagues just last week (b4 I snatched him of course).

He could help fetching very nice players.

A month ago Yahoo had Anthony Morrow as their #1..again #1 ranked player. Im curious to know if anyone sold high on him.

I should have sold high on Belinelli, a week ago, now he's cuttable again.

Likewise, the next good game JR Smith has Im gonna try to sell him [high]. His stats piss me off coz he inconsistency. I'm also gonna try to sell Marquis Daniels as soon as he comes back and plays a good game because Dunleavy is on the horizons and reportedly might be back in January.

Id like to get rid of Luke Ridnour also and this may be the perfect sell high time.

Probably Eric Gordon is a good sell high. he's playing close to 40 mpg and having tad over average stats (since it's the Clippers). On a normal team he deserves maybe only 30mpg which he'd then be dropable based on his 'per 48' rating.

Is Matt Bonner really gonna play center the rest of the way and shoot 55% and give you 2 threes a game and 8 rebounds? Where the hell did this guy come from?

I think its kinda crazy cause you pick up somebody...and you think they might be good...you wanna get the next big FA but you could sell high and get something solid...

If you want to sell him high then do it quickly. Ricky Davis is due back in mid Jan and will eat into some of his minutes.

Oh I know. That's how everyone thinks though so the trick is to use that against them. Buy low sell high. I still havent mastered it after 6 years of playing because in the past, there has always been that savior to my fantasy team, like Boris Diaw 3 years ago, and so now I equate every FA pickup as that guy.

Plus making trades is a pain in the leagues I play with.

I picked up Stuckey from the Waivers about 10 days ago and immediately flipped him with Aldridge for Billups and Scola. I then dropped Scola for Mike James (reason I did this trade in the first place was for a boost in 3s and assists).

Part of me wonders if I should have kept Stuckey, but this is definitely a time to sell high. This deal never would have went through a month ago and James should balance the deal if he keeps it up. Tough to not get attached to good finds.

I really don't see Mike James doing it consitantly though. He had a great season in Toronto quite a few years ago but since then he has really been medicore at best. I think GM's jumping on him now better sell him quickly because I can't see him doing this for to much longer. He'll be a Morrow or Belinelli by next week IMO.

Now lets see if that statement bites me on the butt.

Wilson Chandler is a player I'd look to move his FG% has been pretty crap since the trade 38.6% shooting not factoring in tonight's 6-19 performance. He contributes in a few other areas, but I'd still look to move him now...

is chandler still getting minutes?

NetsForce · Post #11 » by **NetsForce** » Thu Jan 1, 2009 2:38 am

Chandler is still starting and getting minutes (I mean someone has to considering the fact that the Knicks are still only playing 7-8 guys a night), but personally I got rid of him after his good game yesterday...

David Lee should be a sell high. A trade would bring his numbers down significantly.

Also as per the Buy Low thread... can we get this thread stickied?

Gordon's numbers have been falling. Gonna be hard to sell him right now.
