Keeping armstrong till I see a solid train....otherwise I find myself jumping off of every ship in the harbor and left with no trades. Can't losemoney on him or Douby so I am keeping them as they are safe on cash and anything they get me I am fine with.

Like many, I too started off with Hilton and Foyle, but I was going to be smarter than the rest and save myself a trade for the following week by starting off with Rudy Gay even though Gay only had 2 games the first week. I just knew he would average 28-30+ TSNP's, but he rewards me with 14 per game.

I also thought people would pass on Aldridge with his 3 games in week 1, and I knew he'd be a bargain at 6 mill. Wrong again, he rewards me with 26 per game, and $$ losses.

Jameer is a player I took at the last minute over Granger because at the time, Jameer was playing for a contract. Shortly after I had my roster set, and off to work, Jameer signs a new contract. He was a player I absolutely didn't want on my team unless he was playing for a contract. He rewards us with medicore play, and $$ losses as well.

Now I feel trapped with Jameer's good schedule. Do I continue to lose money for a good schedule and medicore play, or do I lateral, and gain money and probably more points?

Oh yea, I wasted a trade on Hilton to Priz for 2 games and 50K, and missed Priz to Wilkens on Sunday, 220K and 38.5 TSNP's later.

This is easily my worst start to a TSN season. Every pre-season I tell myself I'm going balanced this year, but always get tempted by the fruit of another sub 2 million player. lol

Not sure if it takes that much guts from me to go bass williams. Made about 200.000 from Bass (think thats what he loses in the next two days). Williams will play some, has a good schedule, costs the minimum and I have still 3 trades left.
If someone knows more about bass or williams he can still try to talk that trade out of me.

Jeddi, you really sure you want to swap the clear-cut starting PG of an uptempo team with the best schedule for a piece of the Grizzlies' logjam at PG? Not the best plan from my point of view.

As a Pacer fan, I think Williams will get the time to contribute. He
can get steals and blocks too, so he doesn't have to score to be
effective.

I don't think the issue is his ability, but rather whether he will get enough PT. I at least need to see a game or two before I hop onto the next hilton armstrong.

Perhaps. His status of being held out for "precautionary reasons" made me think it's a one-game thingy so I held. I'll re-evaluate tomorrow.

I'm about ready to blow up my whole team and start over. I'll have 7 trades tomorrow and I could conceivably use about 4 of them. Another great performance from Foyle, Delfino back to earth and I don't expect much from Douby. One or two of my studs just may need to go.

End of rant.

ok...

I think after tonight, I am going to trade LeBron down to Deron
Williams (change Brewer to Forward), Bass to Maxiell, and Diawara
to Antoine Wright...also considering Nelson to Bonzi if we have
another DNP.

I currently have 5 trades, and this would definitely be one of those
"Can I Right the Ship NOW" moments...

trading into Deron Williams on a short schedule situation doesn't seem the way to right the ship to me.

I don't love the other moves either. Bonzi Wells and Maxiell, it seems you are just evaluating based on their last game, because before that they were nothing special.

Agree with qwert. Trading into schedules such as DET, HOU or UTA doesn't feel like righting the ship. You'll find yourself in need of righting the ship again by the weekend of 17/18 Nov. Only problem then is that none of us has the trades to right the ship every week... ;)

Rubalump,
Lebron has 4 games in the next 6 days... I think you will kick yourself if you miss out on those points this week... I would suggest you figure out your "Right the Ship" plan for 11/13, not today!

not saying utah's schedule is bad, but rather that it is short in terms of using trades to try to right the ship.

realistically, their schedule is only good for a couple days longer than cleveland's.

I am looking at other options...But it looks like it will only further
polarize my team...

Wells, Wright, and Maxiel seem like the best options...I may be able
to get those three without losing leBron...It will be tight, and
trading Nelson, Diawara, Bass to those three will be close money
wise...

I need to check if I can swing it today even, because it may be so
close, that it won't work tomorrow...

why do you see Wells as such a good option? as many single digits as 30+ and a pretty bad schedule.

i have maxiell and don't even see him as some kind of must have.

trades made in haste just lead to making more trades down the road.

I would start at square one and decide who HAS to go, which likely excludes Nelson, who sounds like he'll play tonight.

Anyway, just my opinion. I will now leave you to trade in peace.

sage advice qwert,
Yesterday I though going Armstrong to Maxiell today looked like a pretty sure move... but today after a mere mediocre game from Hilton; I think I'm opting to keep the trade!

Re: 143 ... this is my question. With Ike out, does that meaningfully enhance Harrison's value or does Shawne Williams become even more attractive?

I thought the Williams movers were a bit premature, but if Ike's injury opens up minutes for him, I think he could produce.

Does this change anyone else's opinion of Williams/Harrison/Indiana minutes?

One more caveat: Troy Murphy is also set to return.

Bass seems like a must go and so Diawara...but to do that with
any meaningful improvement, means downgrading somewhere,
Nelson, Lebron, Chris Paul, Boozer, or Howard are the only
options. Nelson is the one that seems easiest to move.

Maxiel and Wright look like must haves to me...they seem to be
getting real minutes, being productive, without depending on
injuries. With the money left I could get Webster, Azubuike,
Delfino, or Telfair...I am waiting to see what happens tonight,
but tomorrow I want both Maxiel and Wright...

I feel good about williams...

I'd say there are at max 3 players who qualify as must-haves at this point of the season. But neither of them is named Maxiell or Wright.

After tonight's games I'm thinking
Kiri>Wright
Foyle>Haywood

I'll miss tonight's money, but I don't want to give up two games, even if one is from Foyle. That leaves me with Douby, but he showed a little life last night and Paul,Lebron, and Howard have been just too solid to get rid of.

Hey brother..unlike most...I am with you with having no problem getting Utah players and holding for two weeks. Also New Orleans players are easy for me to have...although Paul has been with me.

I have A wright already and at Center...I drafted Ming and sold him after last nights game and on some teams I went with Howard and Haywood

I have drafted some players I am not proud of but at 500k I am not moving them... Douby, Hilton. Other roster spots that I am okay with are Gibson, and Brewer.
Here is one of my teams:
Gibson, Daniel 31 $3.36M
G Williams, Deron 0 $8.82M
G Douby, Quincy 24.5 $.50M
G Paul, Chris 65.5 $9.73M
F Brewer, Ronnie 0 $1.62M
F Boozer, Carlos 0 $9.51M
F Armstrong, Hilton 12 $.50M
F Wright, Antoine 34 $2.14M
C Haywood, Brendan 0 $4.08M
C Howard, Dwight 52.5 $10.16M

Keep in mind you DO NOT HAVE TO sell. If you can not decide then Hold brother till somethign good comes to you. By the way I solf Nelson on one team yesterday and now I see he is playing.

Do you think that Tyrus Thomas is eating up Deng's stats this year a bit? He is underperforming a fair bit for what I thought he was worth and I'm wondering whether it's worth persisting with him this year at all.
