500 point lead after round 1, nice! Maybe it would have been better if your fearless leader had picked up Baron when everyone else did :(
I went the conservative route yesterday and took Boozer over the Suns 5 in 7. Hopefully I saved a valuable trade in doing so, and I can always pick up 2 games from that trade later in the season. |

Well.....that's a good question. I guess it would be BAD for me if I want to make up ground! lol
And yes, that's the only team that could afford that roster. I really like how that team comes together.

Well, the player I really want is Rudy Gay, but because of the Ellis injury and everything that snowballed down from that Kidd "migraine", I think I have to settle for Dorell Wright. He started off shaky, but I think Riley believes in him. Last year he had Riley's support and was playing great, but then Rothstein took over and benched him for Kapono. Now that Penny has been waved and Wade is back to himself, I think Dorell should be good to go. With cheapies at this point I like going for guys who can be explosive, even if at other times they can stink. He's one of the few players in the league capable of putting up a 5x5.
If Ellis is officially out tonight (and if no one is at this computer), I'll lock in Bynum tonight.
After tomorrow's big swaps, I'll have only one trade and the heavily owned Baron, Jackson, Udrih, and Brewer to deal with. I really feel Baron and Jackson can be holds until January - they'll see some hits at times, but the schedule is so good and they produce so well that after one or two nights, they all of a sudden look like the best options. Can't sell every player that's going to see a money hit I guess. I guess I'll have to take things as they come with the other two, unfortunately I won't have enough money to move either to Gay.

Blooki, I just sold Kaman and Moon for Wade and Wright, so hopefully you won't have to do anything. If it's announced for some reason that someone's out and you can't get in touch with me, you can go ahead and undo the moves and make the decision. Call me if anything stupid happens.
One trade left, 980k in the bank:
Baron, Wade, Tinsley, Udrih
Boozer, Jackson, Wright, Brewer
Howard, Bynum
Mid-week maybe I'll go tradeless and dump Udrih somehow. Ugh. Everything stemming from that Kidd situation just completely sunk my team.
Should I lose my mind and go tradeless today and move Jackson to Gay? Probably not...

Like the rest of everybody I am torn with my team. Kaman is the guy that need to go the most so Kaman > Wade seems like a no brainer to me. But the rest becomes difficult.
I think out of them AK becomes the most holdable giving his decent performance last night, good sked behind him and Okur injury.
Moon is the most alarming of the bunch. 22 tsnp from last night isn't great, but isn't horrible either. He did just enough to keep us on the fence. But the important I take from his last game is his minutes. He only played 3 less minutes than Bosh and Humphries don't have a career game every night.
Baron will see a lot of selling pressure as it's many people's way into Kobe/LBJ/Wade.
I'm thinking about Jax/Baron/Kaman > Wade/Kobe/Gay and left with 2 trades but that means holding guys like AK, Brewer, Moon and Udrih.
Out of the 3 cheapies, the danger level probably is Moon, Udrih, and Brewer.

The permutations are endless it's driving me insane. I don't recall such a difficult decision with so much consequences in the last two seasons. Basically I've narrowed the choices down to 3:
a. Kaman/Baron/Jax > Kobe/Wade/Gay
b. Kaman/Jax/Moon > Wade/Gay/Wright
c. Kaman/Moon > Wade/Gay
Any comments would be helpful. It's driving me nuts.

The money move is B. The smart move is probably C. No need to trade the awesome man of steele Baron Davis.
Jax will get sold today and the 18th, if you can stomach that, he's a hold.

ok i am moving Kaman/moon to wade/gay/bynum.
Yesterday the third guy i was going to move was going to be kirilenko but now I am leading towards jackson. I feel kirilenko should be able to Jackson and is less risk to lose money. However he would leave me with 1 mill less to deal with udrih/brewer should they have to go. Luckily I will also have 3 trades left.
So sell kirilenko or jackson?

so since pryzbilla looks more attractive (apparently Aldridge abscence is helping) now I can go to him instead of Bynum which frees up enough to get wade and Lebron but also couldnt afford gay so would need a forward less than 2.5 where I dont see anyone attractive.

Rrrr, Pat Riley!! We have 3 Wright owners, and two of the owners down to one trade.
I was worried about Wright back in post 104 because of Riley's love/hate relationship with Wright. I didn't want to voice my opinion too much because I've been dead wrong on Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson this year.
On the bright side, Riley could play Wright 40 mins tonight. That's how Riley seems to work this season. I wouldn't worry about Wright too much until he plays another game or two.
Maybe treat Wright like Soulman is with Shawne Williams, take what you can get, and ignore that slot until you build up some trades.
I like the way my team is set-up, so hopefully I can start carrying my weight on this team, and give us a boost during this bad stretch.
Hang in there SU, this is just a bump in the road for you. Ye shall overcome.... ;)

I have Wright, not concerned with the game to game fluctuation for now. Seeing that he just escaped gravity, ownership is low and that many of his owners picked him up yesterday, I don't see him as a major decision this week.

Well it looks like Jackson's already lost a good chunk, so he's definitely a "hold forever" candidate now. Last night's pricemovers were absolutely absurd.
Since Udrih plays today, no moves for me. This may be the last time I have internet access for a few days, so Blooki, tomorrow could you go Udrih to Outlaw for me? It seems to make the most sense out of possible moves. That will leave me tradeless for the week unfortunately, but I think I have to do it to keep moving forward. I'll call you from the road tomorrow. If any stupid news comes out today, could you call me and leave a message? I may not be getting service the whole day because I'm going to the Grand Canyon.
Wright's a hold I think, as someone said in an earlier post in some thread yesterday, he's cheap, he broke gravity, he's a GF, the schedule is great, and he's only had one atrocious game. I'll take what I can get from him, he's going for 80 tonight.

I've purposely avoided Baron, Wade, and Tinsley all season because they are prone to injuries. I took Kidd from Kobe a week and half ago to avoid getting Wade for his 4 in 5. Kidd DNP's, and Wade averages about 50 per game during the 4in5.
Now I take Kobe instead of Wade, and it now looks as if Kobe could sit at anytime. The guys I have avoided have probably averaged a combined 45 TSNP's per game, and missed ZERO games during the stretches I purposely avoided them.
I thought I was all set up for a run with the surplus of trades, but now I may have to use the trades to deal with injuries.
Another funny story. Mrs Bandwagon can't stand Kidd or Kobe due to the domestic problems with Kidd, and Kobe's rape case from past years. Everytime time I mention trading for one of them, she always says "You know I don't like him".
If only I'd listen to her 100% of the time!

Which option has Mrs Bandwagon preference ?
1: Moon-Maxiell, hold Udrih
2: Moon-Humphries, hold Udrih
3: Moon-Outlaw and Udrih-Telfair

ok so when I move udrih (have the trades) I dont have the money to upgrade really so does anyone see an option better than maxiell? kinda like telfair but doesnt fit well schedule wise. also getting a forward allows me to pick up udrih from brewer in a week which for now is the plan. if i get a guard then all my spots will be full. so maxiell?

Is Brewer even going to make the week to triangle back into Udrih?
I'm currently scrambling to see who I can replace Brewer with as early as tomorrow.
17.5, 14.5, 18.5, 9, 23 in his last 5 tells me the end is nearer than we think.

yea he definitely should be a sell candidate but for some reason others are seeing more larger price drops than him. Guess i was hoping that with the others who seem to need to go first and the lack of alternatives he could be held. Would hate to have to move Udrih and brewer with no cash in the bank.

One trade left, comtemplating selling Beno, although up to a few days ago I was a steadfast holder. My RV is low relative to the group, and Beno => Telfair/Outlaw would be a solid RV move. We have 6 Beno's on the squad, what are the thoughts. Bandwagon, what does Mrs. BW think of Telfair vs Outlaw.

tothreeball, Mrs. Bandwagon said Telfair.
My plans were Beno to Calderon, but my window closed last night. I really don't want Outlaw, but I guess I'll do it for a $$ move and hopefully he continues to play well. I can really see Outlaw as a player I'll be looking to replace next week.
If I knew Beno would just take a 300K hit, i'd hold.

What to do? I have the trades but I'm not comfortable with Outlaw. Am I crazy to hold Beno with 4 trades in my pocket? Or am I over evaluating the situation?
What about Darko? He got in foul trouble last night, so that explains his bad performance. Before his hand injury, he was a solid 25 TSNP's per game and could come in handy when Bynum has to go. Gasol is out for atleast a week. He could be held until 1/15. Thoughts?

Bandwagon, Darko hasn't had many games over 20 TSNP since return from injury, and appears to still be in gravity. I like Telfair or Outlaw better. I'm still undecided, although Mrs. BW's choice would save me $750K to put to use elsewhere next week, you never know when it could come in handy.

I hate to cross the Mrs., but Telfairs next 5 matchups aren't overly inviting. Wade (Williams), Baron, Tinsley, Chris Paul, and Baron again. Leaning towards Outlaw, even at the higher price.

Sorry Team, my team's just been in a serious funk since the big trade day. Wright is a disaster and selecting Deron over Boozer was not very smart as well. With my RV and ranking going south I'm going with the plan of Udrih > Telfair and Wright > Gay. Fairly obvious moves in my opinion.

alright looking ahead there aren't many good option to buy when selling wade. Davis fits real well tho and since his schedule is weak for a bit and he is gunna lose money I think a triangle makes sense. People agree?
so who to move Baron to? No one today stands out because only LA and CHI have longterm schedules and Im not risking Hinrich or any1 on chicago and Kobe is to expensive.
Any preferences among the rest? Going to a forward reopens up the brewer to udrih movewhich brewer will now for sure make it to (if not longer?)
I could also sell Kiri has he has been very aggravating. That would leave me with 0 trades bt none planned for next week other than Brewer and maybe Boozer.
If I move Baron today I would likely give me Aljeff which also gives me another center although I dont rate this that highly because both Dalembert and Miller look good out of Bynum. Another alternative may be to hold for one more game and go to a Denver player but this could mean big loses in te meantime for not many more points. Opinions?

looking at sortable stats Camby projects 60 (plus if baron beats Aljeff) points better than Aljeff from 12/20 to 1/7 the date to sell camby. Aljeff would likely go a day earlier but since both players would likely be used to transition into Howard for his 1/8 game i would miss may be some gains. Woever Aljeff is where the money is so wat do u guys think? will Camby even escape gravity because if thats a risk then Aljeff is the solution for sure

ok going for the triple post. AI may look better than Camby from a points perspective as he has been better lately and is less of an injury risk. However he would force me to move Howard into a center instead of likely nash or marion at the start of the 1 in 5. Tho then I probably go to Camby then Kobe and then those Pho players which is obviously more trades but gains good games for the trades. If i have the trades I like this rotation more.

Wow, 4 new trades, and no need to use any of them. Congrats to team Soulman on its TP2 win, although we still hold a decent overall lead.
Gary and I are the only 2 Lebron holders. His past few games haven't been up to his pre injury production, and I'm trying to decide when to redeploy his $11.81 value. Will likely hold until after the Christmas games and then downgrade Lebron and upgrade a cheapie. Any other thoughts on Lebron.
