You traded Nene for JR Smith straight up?!?! JR Smith is waiver wire material. Nene is beast this season.

And to answer your question, yes, I'd drop JR Smith for Eric Gordon.

Just pick him up now and stash him.

As to when he's coming back, he is to return at Dec. 17 at the earliest due to his suspension. Personally, I hope he isn't rushing his rehab back.

I said Nene was going to be a stud early, no one believed me

Kenyon/Nene/Melo front-court is still a great frontcourt, without Camby. Arrival of Chauncey made them still be a Playoff contender.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Someone just offered a blockbuster:

I get:
LeBron James
Tyson Chandler

He gets:
Dwyane Wade
Brandon Roy

Should I pull the trigger?

Just countered with:

LeBron James/Al Jefferson for Wade/Kaman

 

[japanair21]

No way.

Wade has been outperforming LBJ IMO, he gets three's on top of all the blocks/assists/steals.

Roy is SO much better than Chandler, it's not even close.

I wouldn't do that deal unless it were Christmas and I was feeling nice.

Some of y'all might laugh but I honestly think if JR started and had consistent minutes he'd average 20+ pts a game easy. I'm kinda aJR homer which is why I am so hesitant to let him go. And to be honest, I think I am going to keep him. I took the chance on him, might as well ride it out...

Yuku........

 

[kicks r me]

Is Shane Battier worth owning right now? They say he could be back on Wednesday but will he have any value this season with Artest there?

There's your problem right there. Being a homer in fantasy is a no-no. It'll mess you up.

I might have the same problem with Rudy Fernandez though. Good thing he's doing well so far. *knock on wood*

 

[untroubled youth]

^ Yeah I know the rule, but I always break it every year with at least ONE player, man-crushes will get ya.

 

[yoda]

I give :

Shaq

I get:

Dalembert

I got Shaq in the 2nd to last round as trade bait due to his big name, and it seems to be working. Thoughts on that trade?

 

[japanair21]

I'd do that trade, Dally gets more consistent rebounds, and also gets blocks, just won't score (EVER) as much as Shaq.

 

[parada45]

I been going back and forth all year with Westbrook and Nick Young. Who is better to have?

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

should i drop rafer alston for dj augustin?

it's a wait and see for both of them..the new wizards coach wants to play the young kids, so young could be starting very soon.

westbrook is a nice option as well, but he doesnt shoot a good FG%

good luck homie

[Deleted member 38182]

i just got offered
Receive:
Chris Paul
Ryan Gomes

Away:
Deron Williams
Chris Bosh.....

who should i counter gomes for Zach Randolph? Carmello? Oden? Salmons?
i would prefer a big, so im thinking Randolph.

 

[Los Angeles]

^Yeah get ZR, not really sure how he'll do with Dunleavy, but he was putting up stats for me when he was with D'Antoni.

 

[japanair21]

Finally Nash has a great game. 20 points, 8 reb, 15 ast, 2 three's, good shooting.

Let's see some consistency.

After adding a player from the waivers today I forgot to update, and it benched my WHOLE team.. (Nash, Bron, Mo, Westbrook, Murphy, Daniels, Goose..) probablylost this week..

 

[rfx45]

I was all set to bench Foye for tomorrow but then he comes out with a 23 pts and 14 assist performance.
I was going to bench R. Brewer but he is goign agaisnt Memphis tomorrow so it mgith be another big night for him.
Marquis Daniels has been doign real well too.
So who should I bench now?

W. Chandler vs. Detroit?
T. Young vs. Orlando?
Aldridge vs. Miami?
Prince vs. NY?

Any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Wait so you have a choice between those seven?

How many can you play?

I'd start them in this order.

Randy Foye (points and assists)
Thaddeus Young
LMA
Wilson Chandler
Marquis
Brewer
Prince

I think DET will run the Knicks out the building so I don't see Prince having a huge statistical game. Marquis and Prince could actually switch placesbecause I can see Marquis struggling tomorrow against Houston, I benched him in a few leagues. I think you want Foye and Thaddeuys playing for sure, Brewermight be hit because Deron's back tomorrow... LMA is questionable because of Oden/Outlaw/Pryzbilla.
