0 Subject: Players that you will never...ever...pick up again

Posted by: Bob - [478422620] Tue, Nov 12, 2002, 13:44
Just curious......and kind of off-topic...but for fun.

What player will you never...EVER...pick up again? ( regardless of whether they are putting up a million points a game and/or is playing 15 games in a row )

My #1 guy that I would not pick up used to be Iverson ( when I got burned by him about 3 or 4 years ago ). But my new #1 player is Bonzi Wells....closely followed by the entire Blazer's roster....then Iverson.

( Yes....I was one those stupid people that decided to pick up Bonzi at the beginning of the season, decided to waste my last trade somewhere else to "wait and see" during Bonzi's "4 in 5" schedule despite his price dropping like Enron stock. I then got burned when his "4 in 5" became a "3 in 5" with 1 game suspended. )

Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Also one of those players that never plays well while on my roster.

Funny, both ex-Grizz players.

I've actually had good luck with Iverson.

Terrell Brandon and Tyrone Hill for pure dumb team loyalty reasons.

      Tue, Nov 12, 2002, 14:31 		I forgot to add Tinsley. I will not pick him up on my TSN league....I got burned by him real bad last year during the first half when he was doing real good. Not because I lost money...but because I dropped out of him early ( when he got injured ) and then he turned around and did real great.

Out of sheer principle......I decided not to go back into him. Funny how pride can get involved in trading.....

Its like dumping an ex-girlfriend who cheats on you......no matter how much she decides to put out after you dump her.....you will not go back to her after you are burned by her.

Oh, has he finally retired? GOOD!

Shawn "Bad Tall Guy" Bradley. So I move Amare Stoudemire to this fellow, about a week ago. Sure he put up 23.5, 45, 50, 14.5, and 42...but c'mon, I want consistency! 14.5???? That's not why I paid over a million dollars for this herb.

Besides Bonzi and Coleman, I would have to add Jason Kidd for me. He has never played well when I've traded into him. Still haven't forgiven his poor play 2 years ago when I held him through the money losses to be rewarded with a dnp.

Iverson has generally performed well for me.

      Tue, Nov 12, 2002, 15:35 		Footwedge, it was actually for less than 2 million. For me, the .5-2 range is where I want consistentcy at about 20tsnp/game. The 35/game is great and all, but I'd rather see him put up 20 night in and night out.

      Tue, Nov 12, 2002, 15:39 		The reason those guys are $.5 - $2m is that TSN predicted them to be inconsistant. The consistant 20/night guys are more expensive than that. You're asking too much.

KT was supposedly hurting and Robinson was on a tear. So I get Robinson, who proceeds to put up stinkers while Kenny goes on 35 tsnp/game tear. Ruined my season.

Oh, and Coleman head, shoulders and injured ankles above the rest.
And Webber - you don't need risk when you are spending 9.5 million on a guy.
