Would you guys drop Larry Hughes for Chris Kaman?

Only thing Larry Hughes has done for me in the past week is get me steals. His FG% hurts and he's not even scoring that much anymore. His assistsaren't that great either. Plus Duhon just came back... not sure how the playing time will pan out for him. I just think Hughes' hot streak is done.Anyone else feel the same way?

Sorry BangDak

its okay. reasonable.
eff chris kaman though. taking away PT from marcus camby. i have dude in every league i have cuz i know dudes a beast on blocks

and smh at me for sitting both troy murphy + garnett...

 

[paul is on tilt]

I guess since Kaman's not playing tomorrow but Hughes is, I'm going to wait until a little after midnight to drop Hughes and get Kaman

Hmmm... Or maybe should I pick up Jason Thompson instead of Chris Kaman?

Josh Howard	G/F	Sidelined	Mar 5	ankle	Out indefinitely
	Latest News: Josh Howard will eventually need arthroscopic surgery on his injured left ankle, but is trying to delay the procedure until after the season. Howard will have a cortisone shot and miss at least the next week, after which he hopes to resume practicing. Considering that he's already aggravated the injury a few times, we're skeptical about his ability to stay healthy. Even if he does get healthy for the playoffs he might not contribute to fantasy owners' success during the regular season. Keep him benched until we see whether his attempted return is successful.

Andris Biedrins	F/C	Sidelined	Mar 13	ankle	Out indefinitely
	Latest News: Andris Biedrins (sprained ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the Warriors announced on Tuesday, meaning he won't be back until April. This is devastating news for his owners, who suddenly have to consider cutting him or waiting two weeks for an update which may or may not be positive. The only upside, if it can be called that, is that Ronny Turiaf should continue to get plenty of minutes and, therefore, blocks.

Andrew Bynum	C	Sidelined	Jan 31	knee	Targeting mid-April return
	Latest News: Phil Jackson said on Thursday that it could be another month before Andrew Bynum (knee) can play in a game. "I'm not a trainer and I'm certainly not a physical therapist on top of it, but he's still a month away from being a player," Jackson said. He added, "best-case scenario is that he plays the first week of April. On the pace he's been going, it's really hard to see him doing that in two weeks." If this is true, he wouldn't see the court until after the playoffs started.

Devin Harris	G	Sidelined	Mar 15	shoulder	Out indefinitely
	Latest News: With Devin Harris (shoulder) sidelined for at least the foreseeable future, the Nets are looking to sign another point guard to a 10-day contract. The Nets haven't yet set a timetable for Harris return, but GM Kiki Vandeweghe indicated it would be "a few games" at minimum. With Keyon Dooling as their only healthy point guard, they're understandably looking for some help.

Allen Iverson	G	Sidelined	Feb 25	back	Out indefinitely
	Latest News: According to a report by Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, the Pistons are not expecting Allen Iverson back from his back injury "anytime soon." There hasn't been a lot of reporting on Iverson's progress, and this report just serves to state the obvious. If you're evaluating A.I.'s prospects for playing again this year, wait until a more specific report surfaces in the next week or so, since the playoff race has been known to compel many players in their recovery.

Rasheed Wallace	F/C	Sidelined	Mar 9	calf	Day-to-day
	Latest News: A report in the Detroit News indicates that Rasheed Wallace (calf) will be inactive for Friday's game against the Clippers. Wallace only gets passing mention in a story about Rodney Stuckey's head cold, but all signs seem to suggest that he won't play on Friday, and fantasy owners should plan accordingly. Kwame Brown is the likeliest candidate to start in 'Sheed's place.

jason thompson is looking good out there (nh)
dudes pretty solid on the court.
pick up mcdyess if you can. i told yall he would BEAST.

sheed better stay out

 

[paul is on tilt]

You keep on bringing his name up

. McDyess has BEEN gone in my league

.

Yeah, I think I'm leaning toward Jason Thompson right now.

 

[bangdak]

haha, sorry, cant help it.

those 15+ rebounds and 10points, and block shots are doing WONDERS for my team

looking at the box score, kaman looks like he can be a solid pickup though.
got any extra bench players on your team?

 

[jville819]

Maaaaaaaaan

%%$@ Wisconsin and their lame !!% old man YMCA game

My team... would you drop anybody else on my team? I kind of want both Kaman and Thompson

.

 

[bangdak]

Thomas, Sessions, Hughes are all questionable.
sessions can put up dimes and a few boards every once in a while, but dude is useless other then that.
Hughes, you already know. and tyrus...dont even get me started

 

[bangdak]

sorry for the double, i feel HORRIBLE for whoever has zbo. horrible.
and on marc gasol....6 TOs?

 

[paul is on tilt]

I like Tyrus because of his block numbers, though. I'm reluctant to let him go

. Sessions can score and get assists and now Skiles has realized thathe needs to play him ahead of Ridnour.

[parada45]

Time 2 drop Larry Hughes?

 

[bangdak]

well, kaman can replace thomas' blocks if you were to do that

im holding onto larry, but im a knicks fan

 

[onetrust]

I've held Kenyon Martin for a while. Is it time to let him go and pick up Jason Thompson?
