Yeah, i'm hoping to receive D12. I'm trying to trade Yao and TJ Ford. If that fails, i wanna trade Yao and Jamal possibly.

 

[da xplicit one]

If you're in a H2H league, I'd do the Yao and Ford trade. If you're in roto, I wouldn't

 

[Los Angeles]

Josh Howard out INDEFINITELY, he now is walking around with the boot cast thing

 

[airvandal180]

Would you trade CP3 for Calderon/Mayo? I have CP3 and I need FT%, 3ptm, reb and blks. I figure I could flip Mayo for a big man.

[Los Angeles]

The Mavericks could be without Josh Howard indefinitely after his problematic left ankle was put in a walking boot on Tuesday. Howard missed his ninth-straightgame on Tuesday when the Mavericks took on the Spurs. "You're talking about a dynamic athlete that needs to be up to near full capacity physically todo the things he does," coach Rick Carlisle said. "So you can't put him out there unless he is pain-free and swelling-free and right now he'snot." Multiple MRIs have shown no structural damage and nothing requiring surgery. "He's made progress, but he isn't there yet so we'regoing to shut him down for a little bit," Carlisle said. "He's made a great effort to get back, but there's a yo-yo effect going on with theswelling. Right now, this is the right thing to do. Rather than get into a speculative amount of time, we're just going to say it's for a while."Yo japan how consistent is JJ Barea as a player I might drop nate and give dude a chance

 

[rfx45]

Josh Smith is back. 13 pts, 11 reb, 4 ast with 3 steals and 5 blocks.
Ronnie Brewer with 25 pts and 5 steals too.
Butler with 33-5-6 and Hedo finally out of his slump w/ 24-2-5.
I guess Prince moving to PF provided a few reb, but he had 7 in the first half and only totalled 11 the whole game.

On a negative note, Wilson Chandler shooting 15% with 5 TO's.

Sounds like a pretty good deal on your end...back in the day iverson for jamison would have been robbery...plus you get jeff green who has beensolid as a late...iverson gives you much needed ast stl help...

My own thoughts
I want to pull the trigger because I really think I could use the 3's. But I'll be taking a big hit in FG%. Assists have been tight every week for metoo. Also, will Rose get better throughout the year or hit the rookie wall? Your thoughts NT?

Should I make a move for arenas? He is speculated to return in January, and he has been warming up with the team during home pregames

 

[fresh2death2004]

I'm thinking Mike James is gonna be the starting PG on the Wiz after that trade. Anyone think James is a good pickup? I'd have to drop Mbah a Moute,but he's been playing like garbage recently. Or do you guys think Crittenton will take over the starting PG duties?

I would like to know this too. I'm not too familiar with Critt's game. What does he do well and not well?

Critt is not a nice fantasy player. When he was on the Lakeshow, he dribbled way too much and was a one-man show. His scoring is very inconsistent (as you cansee why he never got BURN in Memphis) and he's not a very good passer. If anything, wait it out. Mike James would be a more solid pickup.

Alright cool...thanks man.

 

[kicks r me]

I just got offered:

Get: Calderon and W. Chandler


for


Give: Chris Duhon


Should I do it? I really like Duhon on my team, especially since he was my 12th pick. Calderon is hard to pass up though, but could i possibly get more thanChandler out of this?

Heres my full roster, i would likely drop Gomes:

PG	Mo Williams , Cle PG
SG	Michael Redd , Mil SG
SF	Danny Granger , Ind SF
PF	Al Horford , Atl PF, C DTD
C	Amare Stoudemire , Pho PF, C
G	Chris Duhon , NY PG
F	Ryan Gomes , Min SF, PF
UTIL	Rudy Gay , Mem SF, PF
UTIL	Jermaine O'Neal , Tor PF, C
UTIL	Mike Bibby , Atl PG
Bench	Ron Artest , Hou SF DTD
Bench	Samuel Dalembert , Phi C
Bench	Eric Gordon , LAC SG

 

[gregodensbedpan]

who's gonna end up getting the crappier end of the stick when chris kaman gets back? zach randolph or marcus camby?

i'm contemplating about doing this trade

outgoing - al jefferson / randy foye
incoming - zach randolph / richard jefferson

.. thoughts?

 

[chihigh91]

Duhon for Calderon+Chandler is a no brainer, you don't even have to ask. Sell high on Duhon right now while he's being forced to play 48 minutes agame, once Nate comes back, his numbers should be down some.
I think once Kaman comes back, Camby would get hurt more than Zbo because they fill essentially the same role while Zbo is a different kind of big man if youknow what I mean. Anyway, that trade is a wash. Imo, Big Al is better than Zbo, Richard Jefferson has Skiles as a head coach and we never know what he doeswith his players, while Foye is looking promising at his new role in Minnesota.

how about this trade for me?
League settings are h2h points, points=1, assists=2, rebounds=1.5, steals/blocks=2.5
I'm sending Calderon, Salmons and Nesterovic and I'm getting Billups, Ben Gordon and Garcia.
who wins?
