Good looking out bro. Had Jordan Hill and dropped him for Antawn

Now that Scott Skiles is gone, is it worth it to pick up Dunleavy? The only player that's droppable on my team at this point is Jason Terry. Jet's been hurting my team lately but I just can't see myself dropping him for dunleavy

 

[socalkid]

Paul Millsap and Paul George for Chris Paul and Chandler Parsons

Good trade?
i would be getting Chris Paul and Parsons

if you need a sg/sf then yes. but i'd actually stick with crawford. both are about the same though

I HATE Greivis. He single-handedly whooped me last week with his ****ing assists. Where did this jerkoff come from?

Maryland

And ERSAN will finally be in the starting 5. BOUT DAMN TIME SKILES GOT FIRED.

First Love goes down now Varejao isn't coming back. There goes my chances at winning this year

that is why it's best to avoid injury prone players on draft day no matter how enticing it is to take him because he fell to the later rounds, because you would be engaging in high risk, high reward gambling if that is your thing. Before you draft you should always list the players you want to avoid including injured or injury prone players. I had chances to to take players like Love, but went against it knowing that once a player get seriously injured, there are more likely to get injured again during the course of the season. Same reason I didn't take Steph C, but it looks like he is staying healthy for the most part, knock on wood. You never know when those two bum ankles will start up again. But then again that is the beauty of fantasy, you win some and you lose some.

Wall possibly returning this Saturday. I hope so, held him this whole time. Dude better put numbers up the rest of the season when he does come back.

u gotta give him time though to adjust and get into game shape. Dude hasn't played a full game in like how long. I give it late Jan or early Feb he is fully up to speed.

Yeah no doubt, i don't expect him to be in full playing shape. Will more than likely have limited minutes the first few weeks. I'll gladly take that though then him just sitting on my bench all season.

Yeah with that 20/20 hindsight it wasn't a smart idea to draft Love. The hand injury didn't seem so major at the time with that 4-6 time table and hand injuries aren't like knee injuries that will severely affect the player's performance. I guess I was hoping for Love to be like Kobe and play through the hand injuries

I don't regret picking up Varejao though. I picked him up late in the 7th round and the output has been . The crazy thing is that without injuries, I clearly have the best team in my league . There was a point where I had all of my guys healthy (except Nash) and I was steam rolling through everyone. At this point if my guys can all be back around the all star break, I don't mind dropping to the last seed in my league's playoffs because I know they can carry me

 

[flyerthandelta]

That's why the scouting report is a must....

 

[baydestrian408]

Is Reggie Evans worth a pickup? Got Varejao but he's out.

if you need rebounding and that's it. Dude is a one trick pony. Get him if your team can compensate for his lack of other cats.

 

[everysingletime]

Given Scott Skile's firing, I'm thinking of dropping either Paterson or Landry for Ilyaosva. Comrades, I seek your advice.

I would drop landry for ersan. Keep patterson dude is still adjusting after coming back from injury. He should get his starting job back soon and produce like pre injury. Ersan should be better off w/o skiles messing up his minutes. Dude can provide pts, rebs, stls, and 3s. Go.

 

[yeeupp]

Last place in a 6 man league.. should i pick up John Wall and D. Rose right now?

Wall can return saturday
Rose maybe 2weeks away

Last place in a 6 man league.. should i pick up John Wall and D. Rose right now?

If ur in a 6 man league ur team should be stacked top to bottom. I don't know why u would be picking up two injured players.

 

[yeeupp]

If ur in a 6th man league ur team should be stacked top to bottom. I don't know why u would be picking up two injured players.

Cause im last place and Kevin Love just injured himself

There should be better options on your wire than two injured players. 6th man league should mean a loaded wire. If ur losing b/c love got injured how is another injured player going to help? Rose is still a long way from returning and wall should be back saturday but will require atleast 2 to 3 weeks to get back up to speed and produce like he should. Since ur in last u need immediate help.

 

[socalkid]

Kevin Durant and Evan Turner for Paul George, Marc Gasol, and Eric Gordon

is that a balanced trade you guys?
i am currently third in the league

id be getting kd
