Good trade.

Even though Amare is inconsistent as hell.

Yi Jian Jians fg% is horrid though.

 

[japanair21]

Kal, just realize most weeks you won't win assists.

Rudy Fernandez

Iverson > Crawford
Stoudemire > Aldridge
Yi < Fernandez

Good trade... I'd do it. As much as I love Rudy Fernandez, his production seems to be taking a hit as of late. Jamal is a wait and see right now in theWarriors. LaMarcus Aldridge is good, but if you could get Amar'e out of this deal, jump on it.

 

[japanair21]

I got a rough offer, I really want to pull the trigger, but I'm going to wait and get some feedback.

Few things to keep in mind: FTM and Offensive rebounds are categories in this league, as well as FGM, and no turnovers.

I get:
Devin Harris
Zach Randolph
Tyson Chandler

I give:
Al Harrington
Nene
Tracy

Paul might be the only one who knows why I'm hesitating.

But the way I see it.. Nene gets a steal/block a game at least, and Harrington and Tracyboth will give three's, and my other three shooters are Nash, Rashard, LBJ, and VC.

My current team:

Nash
Rip
Tracy
VC
Rashard
LBJ
Nene
Biedrins
TP
Manu
Harrington

I essentially dropped Okafor for Harrington, and I really feel like I'm selling high on Harrington, and then I'm getting Zach who's value isrelatively low, and then Chandler as well. I THINK I'd benefit from this, but I'm real hesitant.

As for your trade, I don't really like Chandler. I've dropped him in a couple of leagues already. I'm baffled as to why his production is way downcompared to last year when he essentially had 10-11 PPG and 11 RPG. Now it's down to 8 PPG and 8 RPG. There were other options on the FA that were doingbetter than Chandler. I picked up Bargnani in one of my leagues and he's doing better than Chandler. In another league, I just dropped Chandler and storedaway Arenas... waiting till he comes back.

With that said, I think you're getting a better group of players than what you're giving up. I'm keeping an eye on the whole"Kaman-Camby-Randolph" trio in LAC, hoping for the Clips to either trade Kaman or Camby soon. Devin Harris is a solid PG. He may not get you theassist numbers you might be looking for, but he's consistent. You already have Nash and LeBron for assists. Harris won't put you over the top, buthe'll help somewhat. I already stated my feelings on Chandler.

I think the combination of Randolph and Chandler will outrebound the Nene and Harrington duo. Warrior fans have lived through the inconsistency of AlHarrington. Who knows? Maybe Harrington will start to be more consistent in D'Antoni's system, but I'm not counting on it. Tracy is injury prone,so you selling him is the smart thing to do IMO.

, nice edit

.

How much have yall's fantasy rosters changed?

I was just taking a look at one of them, and I upgraded from JR Smith and Kevin Love to Josh Smith and Brad Miller (through free agent pick-ups only).

 

[kicks r me]

damn..i traded for dalembert cause I was last place in my league in rebounds..i never expected him to get me points but dude is doing absolutely nothing on theglass!!

 

[japanair21]

Matt Barnes just won me a week with his 3 three's in the first quarter

Him and Amare going OFF.

 

[rfx45]

Should I drop Thaddeus Young right now for Ariza or Agustin?
Young isn't doing much right now and has been struggling at the only thing he does best, score.

 

[kal ripped ken]

^ he had a good game today...17 pts, 1 three, 57% shooting, 5 rebs, 4 ast

 

[japanair21]

Screw JR Smith and George Karl..

 

[kicks r me]

Screw both George Karl AND Don Nelson...they're like menopausal old women with moodswings

If you are going to drop Thaddeus Young, drop him for Augustin. Augustin can get you a decent amount of points, can get you 3's, assists, andis a 90% FT shooter.

 

[chihigh91]

the %+$+ is up with Dalembert?

I'm asking the same thing!!! He's borderline waiver wire material the way he's been playing!!

 

[chihigh91]

Yeah man, only explanation I can think of is Mo Cheeks is trying to tinker with the lineup to see what works and what doesn't, obviously didn't worktonight with Speights (and Andre Miller

). I also think they may wantto trade Dalembert so they're trying to give his backup some burn. Both are pretty much just speculations.

Not too great, I have a lot of leagues where I rely on Josh Howard and Josh Smith, so hopefully they'll be back soon. A lot of close losses, not as manyblowouts, pretty good week, but hoping next week will be better with Josh Smith and Kevin Martin coming back.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Damn JA... 40 leagues? That's a little overdoing it, don't you think?

In the league you and I are in together, I've already turned over my ENTIRE 14-man roster - AND gotten Michael Redd back for the second time.

Other than that nothing too insane, but I always like to have a team that I freewheel with.

Anyhow, Week 5 now in the books:

League 1: 4-5 loss to Champs, 3rd out of 10, 25-19-1
League 2: 4-5 loss to Red is on NT, tied for 6th out of 10, 21-24
League 3: 5-3-1 win over AirCG30, 1st out of 10, 29-14-2
League 4: 7-2 win over Mister Bob Dobalina, 1st out of 10, 31-13-1

2-2 overall last week, but the losses were close and I'm finally starting to get healthy rosters in all but one of the leagues.

 

[parada45]

Should I finally give up on Dunleavy and drop him? I did manage to get Daniels.

 

[imasoleman18]

should i do it?

I Give:
Steve Nash
Yao Ming
Chris Bosh

I Get:
LeBron James
Brad Miller
Chris Duhon

 

[Los Angeles]

Yes. There isn't no exact timetable for his return, so drop his *%#.

should i do it?

I Give:
Steve Nash
Yao Ming
Chris Bosh

I Get:
LeBron James
Brad Miller
Chris Duhon
The way I see it:

Steve Nash (injuries are taking a toll, Porter's offensive scheme doesn't suit him) < Chris Duhon (dude is throwing insane dimes withD'antoni's system, but I hate the players around him)

Yao Ming (very injury prone, but you know what to expect from him) > Brad Miller

LeBron James ? Chris Bosh , that's a toss up, I'm sure Bosh's FG% is better, but LeBron fills up the stat sheet.

I'd do it cause I think LeBron is better for the long run

 

[kicks r me]

Is Ryan Gomes gonna be a starter now with Brewer potentially out for the season?

Should I pick up Gomes and drop Mbah a Moute?

 

[parada45]

Yes. There isn't no exact timetable for his return, so drop his *%#.

Man I want to but I can't

. I took him to early

 

[mikescarn]

I hate being in a league where nobody wants to trade...it's so pointless
