I say the guys in the last few spots should swap draft picks -- then fight it out to actually beat each other and win more ping pong balls.

Shaq's having to take up the slack of Mourning's departure. So long as his body holds up he'll do OK. But I'm sure Miami is a little worried that they don't have a quality guy to spell Shaq 15-20 minutes a game.

I am definitely fighting to make sure I don't finish last here.
I've had to part with some pretty good players, but I hope that in the longterm plan that everything falls into place.
That being said, anyone on my roster is available, of course the younger guys are going to cost more than some of the older ones...

The main thing we've tried to do in our deep G2-/24 leagues is to not allow the Keepers alone to win or lose you the league. The draft, trades, FA/WW pickups can be huge parts of it. It's amazing how important some of my draft picks have been for me. Shaq has been nowhere close to a good player, but I have a certain strategy I use and his stats are essential to that--well except for his ftp...:). Wilcox has been a big part of key stats as well. Tinsley and Roy and the few games I've missed with Chandler have been felt too. Still, I played Farmar, McCants and Kleiza a few times more than I should have. Using McCants again so hopefully I can keep my GPs usage to the players who can help me in the cats I need the most help in. Still I'd rather be over GPs now and cut back then be under them and have to catch up late with subpar players. I also don't totally believe I am as far over as NBA says I am.

I hope you guys haven't discovered the power of the jump analysis. Somehow I can gain 5 points in FT% when I'm ranked 19th. I'm not sure how that works.
Other than an occasional speed issue I can't say I'm missing Yahoo. The free live scoring makes up for some of the other limitations.

In regards to the current trade.
Do picks 1-6 actually represent our keepers? So a 4th round pick is actually an 10th round pick on the NBA site?

GO is movin' on up....
I'd like to welcome myself to the big time - Top 5.
I'd also like to welcome back Kevin Martin and the two shots he missed this week.
I'd probably sell my #1 pick if someone could give me a player they don't plan to keep but would make an impact for me the next few months. Assists and blocks would be targeted categories. Also have a 3rd and 4th for sale for lesser players. If you aren't keeping them, why not move up a few rounds?

Didn't realize the Young Lions accepted, so looks like I got assists covered.
Frick - I would say that only rounds 1-6 on the "Trade Picks" options are applicable here. Cause technically when our draft gets going its "Round 1 until Round 6"... I think the NBA site just has all those because they are factoring in the keepers. So just pretend 7-12 aren't even there.

Finley's been averaging 14 PPG and 2.2 3's/PG over the last 30 days. if you can use some 3's, contact me about a trade up in next year's draft.

Finley has been solid, but I think rebounding/blocks are where I need to head with my next move.
I've got plenty of 3's now with Crawford, Kevin Martin, Mike Miller (and MoWill, Ricky and Stevenson). I should rename myself Da Bomb Squad!... except I think someone already has that trademarked :)

I have Drew Gooden up on the auction block. He is good for 10 boards a night.
Jamario "Slam Dunk Over The" Moon is also a good source for rebounds, but also delivers the blocks!

"Drew Gooden is good for 10 boards a night...", man, you've been drinking the Species' Str8-Pimpin-School-for-Marketing Koolaid, haven't ya? ;)

actually RSF - Drew Gooden does get 9.0 RPG which is pretty good I'd say in a league that counts rebounds twice.
Higher than others you'd expect such as Gasol, Ben Wallace, Dirk Nowitzki, McDyess, Bogut, Brad Miller, Alrdidge, Rasheed and Troy Murhpy.
He's also only 26 years old and set to be an unrestricted free agent at seasons end. Seems like he would be a decent pickup for someone looking for a good rebounding PF and potential keeper on a really thin team.

I think the biggest issue with Gooden is that his numbers were inflated by Poofyhair's hold out.
I definitely know the value of Gooden, having traded into him and out of him several times in the past.
Take a peak at those monthly splits this year to see some disturbing trends.
Now, if you want to talk cheap rebounds...Reggie Evans can be had... ;)
Man, I'm seriously jonesing to just nuke this entire squad. I mean, they're all great and such, but boy do they ever suck.

Varejao's return certainly costs him (and Zydrunas) a few minutes per game - but he has consistently averaged 8+ RPG over the last few seasons, so its not like it was an extreme jump.
Solid - but not spectacular - sums Gooden up I guess. You need some guys like that though, I am rolling with my man McDyess for similar consistent results.

Gooden is still averaging 8 boards for the month of January, 3 of which are Offensive. Everyone loves things that are offensive.
The standings for rebounds are very close, so Gooden should holf value as he is a pretty young guy as well. Poofy Hair Guy ain't got nothing on Gooden!!!
Leave your offers at my door...

If ever I needed more active spots, it would be this year. I've NEVER had such a solid draft that I've been unable to help myself on the FA wire. Problem is that I'm still a smidge unbalanced.
I have been getting several inquiries (esp. for Farmar and Kleiza) lately, but there really isn't anyone I wanted to part with. I even sent two feelers out in the last couple of days. Basically saying that those two are an injury away from going off and that I really didn't want to move them. Then of course, Kleiza goes off for 41 and Farmar also has a solid game the same day.
It's a great problem to have--no doubt. Hopefully my injured players either come back full-strength or don't come back so I don't keep wasting games.

I've had the same issue, I wasn't sure if my trade offer didn't go through, it just disappeared.
I also changed my line-up yesterday. I checked the live scoring a couple of times and the changes were in place. When I looked at the results page for yesterday those changes aren't showing. Did anyone happen to copy the totals from yesterday before the games started? I had them, to do some analysis of my team, but deleted them. Has anyone else had this problem.
