0 Subject: 1/13 Beno out of gas .....action

Posted by: weykool

With a 20.5 last night and Martin with a good outing Beno will most likely be the bigest loser.
Teams with the flex will probably go to Joe Smith, those without probably to Carter.
Did I miss anyone?

Beno isn't likely to lose his starting spot just yet... Bibby will be playing SG upon return, K-Mart at the SF spot, and even when Artest returns Theus wants to play him at the PF spot ala Marion.
Scoring opps I guess, but perhaps his assists will go up among other things.

Biggest losers once everyone is back are Salmons, Garcia and Mikki Moore (if Artest definitely slides over).

That all sounds ok for Beno, but the perception among TSN
managers is that he is less valuable and therefore he will be sold
massively. I have one trade left and hate to use it today on Beno,
but I think it is going to be a bloodbath for the next few days.
Granted, his schedule is still good and 20.5 isn't horrible, but he
will lose a lot with all the news out there and the perception I
mentioned above.

At least neither Beno or Carter play today, so I can watch today's
games and make sure there are no injuries before I make the
move.

OT in Toronto? Anybody NOT have Calderon at this point?

Looks like Outlaw made a 4 point play to tie the game.

Didn't Nazr just suffer from "perception" only to leave people wondering why they sold him? If people have big upgrade plans it makes sense but how many people have 6+ mil around waiting to upgrade Beno? The fact of the matter is there aren't a lot of choices so i am content holding on to a valuable trade until 1/20 when lots of changes will happen.

had more to do with the 1.3M he gained then anything else. When a cheapie gains that much in ultimate, it really doens't take much to crash him. Two weak games and some news regarding minutes will usually suffice.

A massive selloff on a Sunday, followed by sells on two light trading days, followed by trade refresh.
Pointswise what you are saying makes perfect sense.
RV wise you need to ask yourself if 500-600K is worth holding or not.
When it comes to RV...."Perception" becomes the reality.

NY beating Detroit 64 - 38 at the moment.

That NY coach ought to be coach of the year... I can't believe they're thinking of firing him.

Riiight. His secret is the way he keeps his players, opponents, coaches, himself, the media, and fantasy players guessing over his lineups. Randolph played tonight, and guess what? He produced. Shock to no one except "that coach (lol).

Or maybe it is his genius in scheduling a team playing its fourth road game in five days?

I don't want to knock the Knicks' efforts, which are very welcome to see. But they have done it in spite of their coach, not because of it.

I guess I forgot to put a ***Sarcasm alert**** in my original post.
Zeke is horrible, there doesn't seem to be any chemistry and the only person that doesn't think he should be fired (besides Zeke) is the owner.

okay I know most have missed me and probably was really worried where I have gone. Walt Disney World! No Internet for 3 days and it looks like the only thing I am out is Beno is still on my roster I guess keep him at this point?

I had though about upgrading to Calderon but he played and why not get back into Nazi. Not much of an upgrade in cost?

Cannot get Naze as I already have Kaman and Bynum and they all are only "Center" Eligible.

Carter will be one of the top gainers (if not the top gainer) because Beno will be sold and he is very close in price an has produced well. Bynum will lose money tomorrow but will be picked up when their schedule gets better (1/19) or so...I don't have the schedule in front of me.

Well I was able to sell straight into carter on two teams and on the other I sold and moved Brewer to G and Howard to C and then bought Naz....I really wish i had not done that and went to undo but was too late.

Oh well

24 I have been slightly complaining about it over the year and some in here claimed I have been clicking twice...but I am saying that is not so. I just think it is ridiculous to have a two year long glitch still not fixed? I hate complaining about it but it is really a round about way when trying to buy a player and you cannot search then just select that player after your search you have to go to the team page or filter down the complete list of guards. I guess I will have to pass this post along to TSN. any specific E-mail I should use?

Report from the Lakers locker room. Xrays on Bynum's knee were negative, he will have an MRI tomorrow. They said he is in a great deal of pain and they are hoping it is just a sprain.

So just to make sure you are doing the same process as I....Say tonight you sell Beno and then type in Carter in the player search and click to buy him it will give you the message I posted above. for two years now I have been dealing with this so I am confused as to why it would do this for me and not you?
I end up having to click on the Buy Guard link and then scroll down and click to next page until Carter comes up in the Guard field.

I just went and sold Bynum for Nazr and again same old problem.
Step one Sell Bynum and on the second page click the link "You are about to release Andrew Bynum for 5,500,000 TSND: "
Your remaining funds would be 6,840,000 TSND.
To pick up a replacement, click on the position at which you want to buy your new player,
or use the sort options below to search for other players.

To release this player without picking up a replacement, click here.

I CLICK ON THE "CLICK HERE"

Takes me back to my team page where I have a vacancy at "C".
Step 2:
I click "Find Player" button after typing Moh in the search criteria.
Next page comes up and you can buy Nazr...but that is the next page that give me the error.
There was a problem with the transaction.
The player you are trying to sell is not on your roster.


Are you doing it this way?

so in order for me to buy the fastest way I click on the CHA team link on Wallaces's name on my roster and then select Nazr from there Presto he is on my team. Blows when you do not have a guy from the same team you are about to buy from on your roster.

I get the buying/selling problem sometimes. The easiest thing I have found to do is hit "update positions" whether I have moved anyone of not. It seems to refresh the page and I don't get the error message.

Lastly
I get this confirmation right here:
Sell Confirmed
11:58pm: You sold Andrew Bynum for $5,500,000. "

Then I go through the search for Nazr and try to buy from the price link from the search. It is a failure.

Who else is having this problem and is Jedman and Dave using this exact process?

I purchased Gasol last week and planned to go to Camby after today. He has been great except the 26 pt. game. Now I'm not sure what to do? Hold him and pass on Camby. I don't have enough cash to go Bynum --> Camby and not real excited about buying Kaman as he starts a 1 in 4 even though many will. Maybe I'll downgrade Mo Williams, or Gay/Jackson (who haven't been great the last couple of games) and pick him up.

I know everyone says Kaman and Bynum are must haves, but I don't see an easy way into Kaman without buying him tomorrow.

CJ:
There is a glitch but the solution is very simple.
When you sell a player and you need to move a player position click on the Buy G, F, or C whatever it is.
From there you can type in the the player you are searching for.
For example:
You want to sell Bynum and get a Forward.
Step 1: sell Bynum.
Step 2: Move your F/C to the center spot.
Step 3: Click on Buy F
Step 4: You will get the list of Forwards and you can pick from the list or you can do a search and you will not get the error message.

From Rotoworld ... Bynum not travelling with team for tomorrow's game:

"Lakers spokesman John Black said X-rays on Andrew Bynum's left knee were negative, but an MRI would be taken Monday. Bynum won't travel to Seattle for Monday's game against the Sonics."

44 thanks Still they should fix the glitch...especially for those that might be buying a guard for a guard.

4 that blows for bynum as he was a very likable favorite for us to love to have on our rosters. He did not deserve this.
