Wow, your league is inactive as hell. Waaaay too much talent on the wire. I know MWP's #s don't jump out at you but BBM has him at 54, ahead of Millsap and Lowry. Sanders is 40th. Gilchrist 80th. Leonard 39th. This is all per-game btw.

Drop Faried for Sanders. Now you can trade Howard for anything that moves since his blocks mean nothing to you. D12/Craw or D12/Iggy for an upgrade. You don't need a big upgrade, either. Feel free to bowl them over to get your guy. A seemingly lopsided trade works in your favor since the replacement level is so high in your league. Just make sure you're not offering a lopsided trade to a team already better than you.

Crawford's ranked 157th. No way Leonard stays top 40. Him, MKG or MWP? I like 'em all about the same. Pick the one based on your needs. Or, even better, stream a different one every day.

@Raptors: Hump is droppable but I'm not feeling Patterson. He'll get opportunities but he's not good enough to make the most of 'em.

Should I drop Bradley Beal or Kyle Korver for Alexey Shved? I like Shveds combination of 3s, assists and steals.

Im also interested in Ed Davis...as a starter is he more valuable than JaVale Mcgee? My big man rotation includes Hibbert and Lopez and they just arent rebounding the way I need them too.

10 team h2h

Damian Lillard
Kyle Lowry
Goran Dragic
Mo Williams
JJ Reddick
Kyle Korver
Bradley Beal
AK47
Josh Smith
Kevin Love
Nikola Vucevic
Roy Hibbert
Brook Lopez
JaVale McGee

Bleh, if Hibbert wasn't blocking 3 shots a game it'd be time to drop him a 10-teamer.

Davis fouls too much to really be that much more valuable thna McGee, valuable enough in the short-term to counteract the long term >>> McGee has on him.

In a 10-team H2H I doubt McGee gets snapped up ASAP anyway so I'd be streaming.

Korver for Shved. Honestly you should be streaming 3-4 spots on your roster.

Yea Hibbert and McGee just arnt performing the way I had expected them too. I know McGee is a dummy but if he had starter minutes hed be putting up nice numbers.

I need rebounds and the guys Im looking at are Ed Davis, Andre Drummound, and Tiago Splitter

What about Jared Dudley or Bradley Beal

Ive been holding onto Beal for some time now just anticipating his value to increase once Wall is back...will my patience pay off

I'd take Dudley. It's close though. I just hate chuckers. Rarely worth the headache.

How would you guys rank these waiver wire players, without keeping needs in mind.

ed davis, alexey shved, kawhi leonard, jared dudley, rodney stuckey, gerald henderson

out of these players, who can you see being the most impactful?

Leonard
Dudley

Gap

Shved/Davis (tie)
Stuckey
Henderson

Leonard and Dudley by far. Very essential, low-cost swingmen that are vital to dominating a fantasy league.

Very interested in injured guys coming back: Hedo Turkgolu and Avery Bradley.

I am playing in a 12 Team, 9 Cat H2H, daily.

Any of these guys worth dropping for them? And if you could include your projections for the two injured players for ROY?


Mullens
Henderson
Barnes
Brown
Shved

As always thank you, and Merry Christmas!

Shannon B can go

Hedo has the most potential since he's a ball-handler the Magic desperately need

Don't think Bradley will be of much value this year

yes

if you need 3ps keep meeks. Don't overreact to small sample size. D'Antoni is going to try to get away with nash/meeks backcourt whenever possible. Meeks is nothing special otherwise but 2 3pm a game is valuable if you need 3s.

Patrick Patterson was just dropped. Is he of any value?

Considering dropping Shannon Brown for him, which player overall is better?

I'm in a 14 team 9 cat roto league, our league is an arms race. The wire is picked bone dry and Granger is just sitting there. Should I move on him? Right now for me it's all about accumulating talent for the second half and the deadline. I'm thinking about dropping Splitter for Danny and just sitting on him till he comes back. I'm 2nd in my league right now and somewhere in the middle as far as game count goes. Has anyone heard anything about Granger's return?

Mind waiting 6-10 more weeks? That's how long it could take to get him up to full speed.

Last I checked Patterson's hurt/sucks. If it's H2H you should be streaming that Brown spot. If it's roto neither should be starting for you.

Is Hedo worth a pickup with his return this weekend? In a 10 team standard cats L. I'd be dropping one of robin Lopez or metta world, possibly Ersan.
