Players to Buy Low! 

Post#1 » by bballCT » Wed Dec 24, 2008 6:07 pm

In line with the Waiver Wire Wonders and the Sell High Candidates, anyone out there worth buying on the cheap?

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Dalembert, Chandler, Iverson (acquired him for fairly cheap) and Brand.

Udonis Haslem had a rough last 2 weeks and could probably buy low and net him for a "sell high" guy like Belinelli.

Josh Smith can't get any lower. He's playing and aint averaging ****. Yahoo makes him undropabale but his stats reflect him as waiver wire fodder. Guy should be a blocks and steals monster. Good buy-low.

Andrew Bogut was a great buylow about 3 weeks ago but not anymore.

Maybe Chris Kaman..

I like Marion for a buy low. If he gets traded, his value could sky rocket back up to top 15 as he is in a contract year.

Mike Miller's value can't get any lower than what it currently is.

Josh Howard could be worth a gamble. Top 40 player 2 years ago.

the thing i don't like about Peja is that in his situation, Mo Pete, Rasual Butler, AND James Posey compete for minutes and Peja offers nothing superior. They aren't missing a beat without the "two category fantasy player."

Looks like Mike James` value will rise, Arenas might be out for the year:

-They are only whispers but I'm hearing chatter that Gilbert Arenas and the team is seriously pondering whether to bring him back at all this season. He originally targeted Dec. 1 as a possible comeback date and certainly expected to be in uniform last night but remains on the shelf with not clear date in sight.

Marvin Williams.

Not many really rate the guy and is a pretty solid fantasy option.

Shame about Arenas. He just can't seem to get healthy. :(

Horford, Horford, Horford. I've been trying to pry him from another manager's kung-fu grip for two weeks now. He posted some monster games LY and it's just a matter of time before he gets it going. I mean, what's changed since last season?

Agree with everyone mentioned here apart from Peja. I don't like him in fantasyland anymore.

Spencer Hawes.

He is having a horrible run of games right now and I see he was placed back on the becnh today. He has had a fantastic start to the season up until now and I really believe he will come good again soon enough. A very good buy low player.

Looks like Bargnani was THE ultimate buy low player prior to January. I drafted him in all my teams so got lucky on this one.

Can we get this and the Players to Sell High! threads stickied?

The info is great because I personally think that selling high/buying low is the ultimate way to win a competitive league.

It should also help reduce the "OMG player X is sucking so bad right now!" threads.

I think Elton Brand might be a very good buy low right now. Positive reports coming out of his rehab and will be back shortly.

Man i'll give you Horford for a box of cookies. I thought he would improve too but he hasn't. There is just not enough touches for him.
