Sold 4 Duncan's tonight. He has another B2B coming up before he was going so with the latest news that he may sit the B2B's now, that means only 2 games this week?

I don't think the news exactly was that he would sits B2B's on a regular basis. While I suppose he might not play the game after next, I think the message was:

Duncan played nearly 40 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Lakers, well more than the 32 a night Spurs coach Gregg Popovich would like him to play. Popovich will rest Duncan on the second night of this back-to-back, a plan the coach plans to employ more frequently over the second half of the season.

We'll see.

Don't see any posts that say the news was "exactly" that he would sit B2B's?

We all know Duncan has random DNP's when B2B are on the schedule and tonight is just one example. Who knows what Pops will do on Saturday. Will he play Duncan for 30 minutes, will he not start or will he not play him at all? Who knows but it didn't seem worth the risk to me.

35/36 - can you two take your squabbles elswhere? ;)

I'm with G - Duncan is on the never again list and the sooner you can get him off your team without major disruption, the better...

I'm in big trouble now, wondering if you guys had any suggestions. Basically I'm down to one trade right now and on Wednesday night if I'm going to grab Kobe I have to use four trades. So if I use a trade on getting out of Casspi today, there's a very good chance I'll be tradeless the first day of the week. And I don't have Tyreke, and everyone on my roster is underperforming as it is.

Also should note that I don't have anything in the bank. So my only option from Casspi is Martell Webster. Who I like, though the return of Rudy / Blake makes me a bit nervous.

As of right now I'm feeling I have to sell Casspi for Webster, though I'd be tradeless (no one plays today though). Would you guys agree? Then at the refresh I have three options I guess:

A) Make all of the moves I want (involves Kobe and two great low-end mid-rangers) and be tradeless all week.

B) Hold Bogut through next week, skip the mid-rangers, and grab Kobe and someone like Gallinari

C) Hope that Kobe's back and other injuries act up and skip him.

Ehh, I don't know, maybe I'll just hold Casspi. Few more hours to decide. The tough thing is that if I choose to buy Kobe, it makes sense to sell him now. But if I choose to skip Kobe, holding works best.

Yeah, screw it, I'm just going to hold him and see how he does tomorrow. It would suck to throw away the chance of going with my (somewhat) ideal roster only to see Casspi do pretty well tomorrow and seeing Webster lose minutes / someone else get injured. I think Casspi can still get 20 or so a game even with a limited role, he was doing well before his recent promotion and can in theory be a hold for the year (or at least until more money is made).

Haha, I really almost did it. The sequence of events the past few weeks has demoralized me.

Here's hoping to some good Casspi games, as I can't even afford a replacement now. It was still too risky for me to sell, especially with the Baron news.

If Wallace plays tonight, probably not making any moves. Playng it safe by holding Casspi and Jamison for another night before making moves tomorrow in case anything happens.

If Wallace is out, it's a bit more tricky. I'd be able to afford both Maggette and Dalembert, but am considering skipping one (probably Dalembert?) to go a bit cheaper to prepare for a possible move mid-week (it would leave me tradeless, but might be worth it, not sure yet).

Do you guys think it might be worth skipping Mad Sam and going for a good cheaper guy instead? Right now my gut is telling me yes, especially since he's already moved so much in price and the whole back and forth to Haiti thing.

Here's hoping to Baron and Camby making it through the week. Off to Vermont now, leaving early to ensure I make it by Wallace's gametime. Good luck guys.

Limited access today. Would you guys view Casspi's game last night as a going away present or as evidence to hold? There are other good options out there, but it feels hard pulling the trigger on a deal like that.

It would be pretty amazing if I just went from being tradeless on Thursday to leaving the week with an extra three.

cassipi had a good game and he may continue to have some good games like that but fact of matter is he is now benched so its safe to say he will produce less then he did 2-3 weeks ago, add the hole in the schedule coming up I would trade if you could afford the trade. I myself have thabo, q rich, ilyasova spread out on my 3 teams so I think I'm going to trade all of them today for delfino, cassipi>delfino could be a move you might consider, he looks like a solid 25 tsnp guy as a starter and he will give u flex.

My main dilemna today is how to get Gasol, on two of my teams I have durant so its an easy transition, but on my main team I have Baron Davis as the guy I was going to trade into gasol today, but I hate to trade away a player doing decent that plays on same day. I have zach randolph too that I can trade he starts a 1 in 4 today, I was thinking of just holding baron, going randolph > Gasol tonight then pick up randolph again at end of week.

What would you think is better just trade use 1 trade and get gasol from baron.

Or go 2 trades, hold baron and trade randoplh > gasol and then someone else later in week back into randolph.

yea ... i hate doing it too feels like a waste of a 35 points

but Gasol is a must today regardless of his production as long as it isnt single digits.

When i weighed in the 2 options it came down to the extra trade yielding me basically an extra Baron Davis game. But I also would be saved from the randolph $$ losses this week as well as the Bogut $$ losses after his b2b. Where the 1 trade scenario I would eat those losses and be about 35 points less (on projection).

Also how do you guys feel about Odom, he still did well in the last game with gasol back but if kobe starts shooting again that will mean less production for odom. Nevertheless with his schedule if he can average low 30s for 5 mill, its still a pretty good bargain.

What did you end up deciding? That's a real tough one. I agree with you in that Pau is a must, and even if you're forced to trade someone who plays tonight, 9 out of 10 times it's going to be the right move (and this is coming from someone who sold Shaq for Durant last year when Shaq had basically his best game since 2001 and Durant went down in the first few minutes). If you're not trade strapped, want to keep Baron longer, and have a good way back into Zach, it could be worth moving Zach instead.

Casspi I'm trying to figure out. The fact that he had top minutes and production off the bench makes me want to hold him, but at the same time looking back to earlier in the season he'd have games like that followed by putting up absolutely nothing.

I like the fact that Delfino is 500k and a GF, but similarly he's had stretches earlier in the season where he's been hot like this and then disappeared. Also, Skiles.

The other alternative is to downgrade Bogut to Maggette and go with someone a bit more reliable in Casspi's slot, but that involves using two trades of course and I'm getting sick of playing trade-strapped. Plus Bogut's ownership is surprisingly low. Like, really really low. With the way he's producing I don't think I can justify trading him. At the same time, Maggette's been amazing and I hate not having him.

yea i'm still stuck on that decision, i think i may opt into trading baron and just forfeiting the game, while it sucks to trade someone on the day they are playing, it also sucks to trade some one that you plan on picking up in 4 days anyway.

So basically it just comes down to would i rather have baron or zach, and given the schedules and basic performance zach is the clear option.

Yea i know delfino can be spotty and skiles is like nellie, but redd is injured so I feel as if delfino would be starting for sometime and at the very worst get the most minutes of the benchwarmers. I'm picking him up tonight on all my teams so if there's anything else you want to add to dissuade me do it asap :P.

Was about to post that I think things are finally turning around, and now Wallace is iffy. If he's out, I'm suddenly tradeless mid-week and the guy I have targeted for that spot has two days off. And if Wallace only misses one, it makes sense from a points-standpoint to hold him regardless, but that could be costly both $-wise and if they hold him out again. Hopefully he plays tonight...

****INTRUDER****

Carlos Delfino is shaping up as maybe the luckiest pick-up in history. I passed on LeBron because there were no good cheapies to pair with him, then Delfino, with no history of anything, drops out of the sky. And today I took maybe the most out of the blue DNP ever (Noah). Everything turned for the Senator vs. me today (if I was ever a real contender to begin with). Figure maybe if I rant my fortunes will change too.

P.S. I hope Delfino turns up with plantar fasciitis in both feet!

SU remember at the beginning of the week when i was blowing up delfino, well last minute i switched to barnes on 2 of my teams. Big ouch.

I saved 1 trade this week, if you were me would you just fix that problem and go barnes > delfino tomorrow, or just save the cheapie swap and just live with holding barnes for another week or so. His perforamce dropped considerably since I picked him up. Went form 30-40s to about a 15 snp average.

That's a really tough question, I'm bad with those. My gut is telling me to make the move but of course it's always a crapshoot with cheapies. The way I usually handle decisions like that is what would be worse - holding Barnes, seeing Delfino do well, and seeing Barnes suck...or buying Delfino, seeing Delfino suck, and seeing Barnes do well - and going with whichever case you could stomach more. Maybe look ahead the next few weeks and see if there's anywhere you might need the money. Given Delfino's price (and flex) and schedule, I'd lean towards doing it. He's been good without Redd. That being said, I still don't trust him.

Two nights ago I was all ready to move Bogut to Zach but at the last second decided not to. At the moment it feels like a mistake given last night but I couldn't justify doing it. The blurb about Nash not feeling great locked that one in for me, seeing him or Gerald miss the b2b would have been far more damaging. But they both played, so good I guess.

who to trade nash for then?

Main targets are kobe or back to wade.
Others are carmelo, rondo, josh smith.

Kobe seems the most likely option, do you think getting wade tommorrow for his week and half stretch is a bad idea since his ownership is high it can only mean $$ leaks over the week, altho pointwise he is the best option of all the above.

well thats exactly my dilemnna with goin nash > wade
wade is the best stud option outside paul for the next 10 days but he is also high owned so he will probably just bleed in that time

I'm considering Kobe / Josh Smith

As fot S jax....i think it is safe to assume that all Cha players will drop today. He won't drop as much as Crash but if you can afford the trade I would definitely move him today.

I like those moves, I agree with you that it's probably too late to start buying Memphis guys.

Delfino I'm planning on holding too. He's got two days of rest ahead of him, hopefully it's as minor as is being indicated. Trading him and seeing him play would be pretty catastrophic at this point.

So Paul's out, still no news on Delfino.

Even if Delfino is out I wonder if it's worth holding him. If I sell him, I'd be tradeless, and would have no way of getting back into Paul unless I take someone with flex and definitely not this week due to the tradeless thing.

Once again, really sorry about that Wade endorsement. At least it seems as if he's probable for tomorrow, rather than questionable.

At this point I think the plan is to hold Tyreke until definitive news comes out. Would hate to waste a trade and go tradeless only to see him play tomorrow. I can't find anything other than questionable at this point, and it seems to be the type of questionable due to lack of information rather than the team saying game-time decision.

      Mon, Feb 01, 2010, 15:37
So checking the injury thread it seems as if Tyreke is questionable now. I have 8 million something for a replacement, a lot of options out there. In no particular order

A) Collison
Pros: Dirt cheap. Has been very good in a small sample size of games. Lots of money flexibility.
Cons: Not sure what I'd do with the extra money. Technically unproven.

B) Rose
Pros: Probably the safest option in terms of steadiness with potential upside. Low ownership.
Cons: 6 million more than Collison, less explosive than Ellis.

C) Ellis
Pros: When he's on fire, he's the type who can win a season for you.
Cons: Seems to be playing injured.

D) Curry
Pros: See above, but cheaper and slightly less of a ceiling.
Cons: Already gained a million. Wish I had him already, it might be too late. With another bad game or two I can see Curry-->Collison happening.

E) Kevin Martin
Pros: Fairly cheap and unowned, getting back into the swing of things.
Cons: So was Dunleavy that one time.

      Wed, Feb 03, 2010, 15:14
I'm in an interesting situation with Maggette right now. Because I bought Collison the other day from Tyreke, I can afford any player and have the flex for any position (due to as-of-now upcoming moves it seems it would be better to take a non-guard though).

The most obvious non-guard options seem to be Dirk and Josh Smith, but to say I don't trust either is an understatement. There are a couple other possibilities that will probably be more price volatile but whom I feel better about production-wise. At the same time, missing out on Dirk / Smith could be costly if they enter one of their non-suck stretches.

How do you guys feel about Dirk or Josh?

      Wed, Feb 03, 2010, 17:05
I am also struggling to get out of maggette today. I don't have the flex or as much money (just over 7M). I understand what you are saying about wanting a forward though as our teams are very similar right now and my recent pick up of rose means I have no way into Dwill unless I move rondo, and then having no g/f doesnt make this an easy transition.

Ideally I would hold for tonight hoping he plays and then move to delfino as I dont have him and could use a g/f(most of which suck right now) Delfino is a pretty bad fit from my upcoming sells of martin, rondo and maggette tho.

Of your two players I would take Smith because he costs less and has been better lately and they pretty much have the same schedule.
