Unlike H2H, he could make up games later on if he stashes C/PF EBrand. He could use a solid PF,C to go with Jefferson and Aldridge. Brand will help in FG%, BLK, PTS and some AST.

Who is RMcCants? He can't possibly keep this up, can he? Once Foye is back in a few weeks, McCants would have minimal value. So drop McCants (or Nocioni or GHill?) for Brand? He'll only have 1 BN to use but once Foye is back he should be good.

Maybe I'm just going by name (career 50%FG, 73%FT, 10.2 REB, 2.1 BLKS, 20.3PTS) but Brand seems like a must add.

Use WW#7 on MWilliams?

Trying hard to trade GHill, Collison, Udrih (he has a bad game just when he gets picked up) and maybe Nocioni.

Someone just dropped SG, SF MWilliams for JFoster. Don't watch a lot of basketball but MWilliams' stats look good and gets good minutes. His FG%, PTS, low TO would help while he helps in AST, REB, STL. Use WW #7?

Only guy I see worth dropping is Collison. What do people think?
Still have Jefferson, Aldridge and Bargnani for C. Need to keep Udrih as a 3rd PG until Foye back. Nocioni is starting and has good value.

FA SF, PF Blatche and C SWilliams are also available.

outlaw or brewer?

sonic — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 14:44:44 GMT

i know the season hasn't even started yet, but who's the better pickup right now, travis outlaw or corey brewer? i'm leaning towards outlaw just because he's not the rookie, but with davis just traded to miami, brewer's value bumps up, right?

Fantasy Auction tips?

nammer21 — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 14:35:02 GMT

Never played a fantasy auction before and was wondering if anyone had any tips (and/or websites to assess player value).

Should I stock up on studs and get cheap cheap sleepers or go even steven average players? Thanks.

advice wanted for final line-up, please

PhD Slacker — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:28:59 GMT

roto league, standard cats. i'm in second tied with the leader in FG% and one block behind him as well. making thing even trickier is that i'm only holding my position in FT% by .001 so 3 cats in play tonight for me, and the league championship on the line.

PG Monta Ellis
SG anthony parker (will he play tonight?!)
G (max reached)
SF (max reached)
PF Dirk
F corey maggette (poor % last night, but good on the last month)
C Stro Swift (worth 2 blocks and decent FG%, right?)
C Emeka Okafor (best chance for moster blocks)
UTIL walter hermann (insurance in both % cats)
UTIL Danny Granger (he's been shooting well, and can get blocks)

bench:
AI (his FT% has been bad, and FG% was never his strong suit)
Ben wallace (could kill moth % cats, the bocks haven't been there)
kendrick perkins
antwan jamison (wish i'd played him last night, had him benched for %'s)
andris biedrins (his minutes demotion has hurt me)
rashard lewis (worth chancing a poor FG% night?)

could swap mags for parker, as the clips are still in the hunt and then would have a spot to start one more BIG for blocks

thanks so much!

Andre Iguodala!

prodigy — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 19:56:17 GMT

I need to know asap thank you

Last push

fosterg09 — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 18:20:49 GMT

I'm on second on my league. And I'm tied with fg% with somebody and ft% I'm tied with the guy in first. I was thinking about dropping Rasheed or Kidd, who should I pick up?

Gui

Thanks!

al_bundy — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 06:32:39 GMT

I just want to thank all of the posters on this site that gave solid advice all year. I just won 1st place in my fantasy league (and a decent amount of cash) and owe a lot of the success to you guys. Thanks again, i'll be back next year.

Tinsley

p00nsensei — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 11:34:45 GMT

This guy is always disappearing without notice. Should I just drop him and add someone else like Earl Watson, Antonio Daniels or Joey Graham.

Who would you keep?

Musty Naval Seamen — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 08:00:47 GMT

2 Keeper league, I have Bosh, Crash and Gasol. Rasho ruined my scheme of 2 centers w/ decent %'s next year, but obviously, I've got to keep Bosh.

So do I keep C-eligible Gasol and hope he doesn't get traded, or Crash who plays too hard and hurts himself and might go elsewhere in FA?

Crash's #'s are probably more appealing over the last month, but I feel he'll be there in the 2nd or 3rd for me next year (20 kept altogether), or at least that he'll last longer than Gasol.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that the Yao owner has Kobe and Paul, and will likely keep the latter of the two. So Yao will be available unless he's traded for a pick.

Anybody got a thoughtful reply, other than, "Keep Pau", which isn't really that helpful.

Mo Williams

p00nsensei — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 12:23:27 GMT

Seasons almost over. He's hurt. Boykins is available as a free agent. Should I drop Williams for him?

My team:
PG:Jamaal Tinsley, Mo Williams
SG:Larry Hughes, Rip
SF:Ruben Patterson
Swingmen:Redd, Larry Hughes, Stephen Jackson
PF:Sheed
C: Dalembert
PF/C:Duncan, Gasol

Toronto Raptors sleepers

OU812 — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:21:32 GMT

Any thoughts on who will gain the most from these 2 season ending injuries?

bench Dirk tonight?

PhD Slacker — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 07:54:55 GMT

i'd over time be putting oakafor, maggette or carroll in his spot (and i need FG% and 3's) so another line like tuedsday's does not appeal to me. playing the weak Bucks, i can see Dirk getting very limited playing time while he recovers from this illness. dare i bench him?

Urgent : Who to play on Wed 3/8-Gerald Wallace or Shaq?

OU812 — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:25:34 GMT

For wednesday 3/28

Who to start?

Gerald Wallace has been hot lately but is injured - cramping- non serious. Should play wednesday. First game back from injury he might be a little hesistant..but he plays Atlanta and Josh Smith.

Shaq defintely will play Wednesday, but I feel he might have trouble with the quicker Chris Bosh and Toronto

Who would you start?

"O"

who to take bargani's place?

PhD Slacker — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 13:35:08 GMT

the big rookie's going to be out for long enough i'm going to need to get a sub. okafor and butler hurt on my bench, and felton's FG % was starting to kill me so i'll looking for a starter worthy player in a 9 team league.

stats needed: 3's, FG% and assist wouldn't hurt as i'm benching a PG to get the 3's.

available players:
Hedo Turkoglu
Delonte West
Cuttino Mobley
Matt Carroll
Linus Kleiza

i'm leaning towards Hedo for the variety of stats, but not sure i trust him to stay hot. what do yall think?

Rudy Gay

OU812 — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:00:20 GMT

With Mike Miller out, is Rudy Gay the main person to benefit from it? Does he become the 2nd option behind Gasol? Does he now get Mike Miller's shots and plays?

He had a greattttttttttt line tonight against the Lakers( 8-19FG , 20 PTS, 12 REBS, 5 ASTS, 1 STL, 5 BLKS, But 0-6 3PTS ). Is this a sign of things to come or merely a 1-game blow up?

Thoughts..?

Memphis Gs

al_bundy — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:56:52 GMT

Playoff Roster

rwisugly — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 10:47:44 GMT

Playoffs are next week for me so I want to have a team to just be still with.

The FA's Available are:

ZACH RANDOLPH (GO GET HIM?!)
Emeka Okafor (JUST DROPPED!)
Joe Johnson (gonna come back or not?)
Brian Skinner
Hedo Turkoglu
Devin Harris
Morris Peterson
Mike James
Shareef Abdul-Rahim
Mark Blount
Devin Harris
Jeff Foster

Im thinking of picking up Zach Randolph and Emeka for a playoff push. Who do i drop?

Big Man Help...

SwtLaotiaNix7 — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 21:29:27 GMT

ok, so im trying to strengthen my last big man spot on my team before we enter the playoffs...

so do i stick with Kwame Brown (3 games this week) or Antonio McDyess, who has been getting more minutes recently.. (4 games this week)

or...............Paul Milsap (4 games)

help!! looking for an answer by tonight.....

Wade?

fosterg09 — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 23:53:40 GMT

I'm in a roto league, so no playoffs. Should I pick up Wade in case he comes back before the season is over? I have Monta Ellis, and James Posey on my bench. Both who I don't plan to use them too much. What do you guys think? The categories I'm fighting for are steals, assists, points, FT% and FG%.

Gui

Q. Rich

toxichazard — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 20:37:07 GMT

I snagged Richardson to help me in threes, since I always lose that every week, but I've suddenly gotten competitive since I added Eddie Jones.

I can drop him and snag Brian Skinner (whom I dropped for Tyrus Thomas just now, having forgotten that Bogut was injured). Skinner's an easy re-grab, hopefully.

So, Richardson for Skinner?

And Channing Frye? He was dropped just now. Do I snag him for Thomas?

14-team H2H league, battling for the last playoff spot. No maximum number of moves. I've been streaming lately.

Andrew Bogut

rwisugly — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 19:39:03 GMT

I was watching the game today and i heard that he is going to be done for the season but the news for him says he is missing his first game today because of a tweaked ankle. What exactly is real? I need to know because I have to replace him ASAP if he is done for the season.

David Lee......

SwtLaotiaNix7 — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 22:42:48 GMT

anyone know whats the word on his damm injury....so so frustrating...

stackhouse or ariza?

sonic — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:09:58 GMT

who's the better all around fantasy player? stackhouse looks like a great option down the stretch, with dallas perhaps resting dirk, howard, and/or terry, but ariza looks good too when given minutes. thanks.

Playoff Roster

al_bundy — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:15:44 GMT

I'm looking to drop G Jason Hart and either F Paul Millsap or C Steven Hunter for two free agents. I am currently in a bye week and have until Sunday to make the decision (as no other teams in my league have any pickups left for the week).

The available FAs are:

F Jorge Garbajosa (will Bargnani & his appendix affect his #s?)
G JJ Redick (has taken on a more increased role in the offense)
G Antonio Daniels (nice assists)
C Jake Voskhul (playing like he did at UCONN)
F Dorell Wright (saw extended time last game [payton's injury?])
F Renaldo Balkman (injuries to Lee and Q-Rich)
F Kurt Thomas (has had two consecutive decent games)
G Carlos Delfino (getting more PT and more offensive production)

find a spot for devin harris?

PhD Slacker — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 23:17:44 GMT

his fg % has been especially intriguing at the guard spot, but only if he's going to hold onto that SG spot for more than the next couple of games... anyone know the situation in dallas better than i?

i could reasonably drop:
matt carroll, flip murray (i do own billups), jason williams, charlie bell or j.jack

(my main areas of need to close the season are steals, assists and threes; and always the percentages)

...thanks

Drop Okafor?

The Chan — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:39:26 GMT

Any news on Okafor? im in desperate need of rebounds and blocks and since this is the last week till playoffs, i was hoping i could pick someone up to help me out.
Heard that Alonzo might start with Shaq, should i pick Alonzo up?

Other Players on waiver wire:
Tim Thomas, Darko Milicic, Mikki Moore, Mark Blount, David Lee, and Channing Frye

Steve Francis

rwisugly — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:27:26 GMT

Do i pick him up? He is on a blow minus todays game but i think he could do more than raja bell. should i drop bell for him? im losing a lot of threes that i need so i wont do it now but im thinking big right now for francis because i need consistency for the playoffs which is next week for my league.

Ime Udoka

teen wolf — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 06:14:06 GMT

I need to drop Antoine Parker for my final roster move (playoffs start end of this week and rosters are frozen), and currently TIED for first. real heated battle.

Was thinking of dropping Parker for Ime Udoka, JR smith, or Rajon Rondo. What can we expect out of Udoka you think?

TJ Ford or Andre Miller

prodigy — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 19:42:28 GMT

i have andre miller.. but TJ ford has been stepping up as of late. Should i drop miller and pick up ford or just stay put?

p.s: ginobli is available as well

Playoff Roster

JRuiz47 — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:26:10 GMT

It's early in Week 20, but I've already clinched the #2 seed in the playoffs. Our rosters lock (save for injury) once Week 21 and the playoffs start. We start 10 and have three reserves.

H2H league (Pts, Reb, Asst, 3pt, Stl, FG%, FT%, Blk, TF)

This is my roster as of this moment:

Tim Duncan C/F
Jermaine O'Neal C/F
Carlos Boozer F
Caron Butler F
Al Jefferson F
Rudy Gay F
Grant Hill F/G
Sean May F (just picked up)
Raja Bell G
Michael Redd G
Steve Nash G
Deron Williams G
Manu Ginobili G

I'm leaning toward keeping Rudy Gay since there's that five games in Week 22, but other than that, Sean May is probably a good reserve to have if he keeps healthy. I'm considering picking up Zo and dropping Hill once the rosters lock for this week.

Thoughts?

Possible additions on the wire:

Morrison
Hedo
Dampier
Gomes
Haywood
Warrick
Juwan Howard
Brendan Haywood

Thanks in advance.

Hinrich for TJ Ford

OU812 — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 11:53:13 GMT

I need assists, would you drop Hinrich for TJ ford?

Hinrich has been very inconsistent, TJ ford has been lights out on assists, he just went for 18 assists.

Would you drop Hinrich for TJ ford?

Schedule of remaining games by week by team

OU812 — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 11:55:01 GMT

Does anyone know where I can find a listing of games per week for weeks 21-24 for each team?

I thought I saw it here recently

Use last add/drop on

teen wolf — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 10:14:24 GMT

Drop Smush Parker for

Marvin Williams

Hart

Sean May

Anthony Johnson

Peja Stojakavic

I need your advice

prodigy — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 19:20:22 GMT

Yahoo h2h currently: 2nd place

I currently have an open roster spot on my team

Who should i pick up off the waiver wire:

-Larry Hughes

-Steve Francis

-Shane Battier

-Josh Childress

Drop for Sean May?

The Chan — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 22:35:22 GMT

Sean May is back and i am in need of rebounds and blocks. should i drop either eddie jones, corey maggete, or alston to pick may up? I depend heavily on okafor for rebounds and blocks but hes injured. any news on him?

Rest of Team:
PG: Chris Paul
SG: Ben Gordon
SF: Lebron James
PF: Emeka Okafor
C: Chris Bosh
Util: David West
Util: Ricky Davis
Util: Al Harrington
Bench: Corey Maggete
Bench: Rafer Alston
Bench: Eddie Jones

Caron Butler for LaMarcus Aldridge

OU812 — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 21:19:44 GMT

Caron seems to not have recovered too well from his recent injuries. Even without Cutler I win the STLS category most of the time. LAM seems to be really playing well since he started starting, I could his his SF/PF/C eligibility and all his stats strengthen my team LAM get FG%, REB, STLS, BLKS except for ASTS.

Should I grab LAM now ?

Any thoughts on how Rudy Gay ranks amongst these 3?
