Alright, I usually don't come in here asking questions (usually answering them), but I've got a dilemma:

I've been offered Brand and Mike Miller for my Iverson. This is a no-brainer trade, except that I'm the commish and it's a commish trade approvalleague. I'm dying to accept it (it was actually the other manager that proposed it to me), but the little cricket on my shoulder is saying I should thinktwice b/c the rest of the league may doubt the legitimacy (again, to clarify: there's NO collusion going on here and it was the other guy that proposed thetrade).

Thoughts? And JapanAir, this especially impacts you since it's in the league we're in together, so I'd appreciate your input - but without lettingyour own interests interfere. See, the thing is that even though it's a little lopsided I'd probably let it go if I weren't one of the teamsinvolved (like that deal involving Oden/Bynum earlier in the week), as I'm very laissez faire in my approach to approving/denying trades.

I personally don't mind, yeah I know it's lopsided, but that's the name of the game, can't always be completely fair, just as longas it's not colluding against us, and although some may disapprove, it's whatever. Some people improve their team by trying to get the best trades theycan, others try to improve through tracking players progress. It's really not too much different then dropping/adding all the time.
 
A quick suggestion needed.
Should I pick up Wilson Chandler and Thaddeus Young from the FA?
I might drop Hill and Darrell Arthur.
Or should I see what else Arthur could do.
Who should I pick up in place of Hill?
 
Is Ramon Sessions starting now or what?? I picked him up in the draft then dropped him when he wasn't getting any PT in the first two games but now hestarted tonight and had 12 and 9.

he was inactive first few games, now he's activated and started, I had him in 7 leagues, then dropped him in most, but then had to rush andpick him back up, that's my dude..

Need some opinions:

Jameer Nelson is an FA in my league... I'm seriously considering picking him up, but can't decide who to get rid of. Bargnani had a great line againstthe Warriors, but has been terrible and scoreless in the other two games. Maxiell is posting solid numbers, and right now I'd rather have him thanBargnani. Any opinions, who to get rid of or keep my team the same?

Damn it, had you replied earlier I would have just taken that lopsided thing and ran.

As it turned out my integrity got the best of me and Irejected the trade, counter-offering the same thing but adding Big Z to the equation. I still think I came out on top, but at least it wasn't so one-sidedthat I'd have to worry about a bad precedent the rest of the season.

But still, Brand and Corn Palace for 40 Bars would have been sweeet...

Ridnour didn't play so Sessions got to play on Saturday. I picked him up too though and dropped Chris Andersen.

Chris Douglas-Roberts
Wally Sczerbiak
Brandon Rush
Chucky Atkins
Brant Barry
Darko Milicic
Jason Williams
Adam Morisson
Josh Boone
Robin Lopez


I just dropped Julian Wright.
I'd pick up Ramon Sessions from that list.
 
Did one of those crazy drafts, 5 player keeper league. I think I made off with the best team out there, I'm killing everyone in 3PT made, 55 this weekwhile everyone else in the mid 10s

I'm not sure Bright Nikes, Josh has had a good start to the season, so it's really a matter of opinion.
 
Can someone PLEASE explain to me the Roto Scoring on ESPN?

My team Statistically KILLLLLSSSSSS it everynight, but I'm in 8th place.
 
Sessions has been a beast so far, way better than Ridnour or Lue combined, wish Ridnour was injured more often.


And to the guy asking about roto scoring:
All the stats are cumulative and how you rank in each stat determines how many points you get from each stat, add all these points up and that determines yourrank in the league.
 
I NEED 4 MORE TEAMS!!!!
