Flip Murray: Take the short or long-term approach? 

Post#1 » by Komodo » Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:57 am

I'm in a 20 team league, standard Yahoo stats, with PG/SG/G/SF/PF/F/C/C/U/U/B/B/B positions.

My team: Felton, Bryant, M. Miller, Artest, West, Boozer, Harrington, Haslem, Outlaw, E. Watson. B. Wallace, Gortat, and Flip Murray.

There's not too much information out there on Murray's injury, and I don't know what the chances are he duplicates his last year. The wire is pretty barren, but what do you think? Would you take a hit for the first 1-2 weeks and gamble on him being a factor, or cut your losses and try to pick a hidden gem up off the waiver wire?

Post a screenshot of your waiver wire and let's see if there is anyone else worth picking up... I have a feeling though that whoever you do pickup it's going to be the same situation you're going to have to wait to see any quality production out of them.

Such a big league, there isn't likely to be much on the wire.

I'd hang on to him, but watch the first week of games closely. Anyone that stands out that is currently on the wire, do the switch.

Surely you have a weaker player than Murray though?

I decided to keep Murray. But, I dropped Ben Wallace and picked Louis Amundson up off of the waiver wire. It was between him and Omri Casspi, who has also looked good in preseason.
