We need some life around here. You guys are 3 days late on the thread ; )
I am happy this morning so far. I avoided Haywood on my "On-time" teams despite all the gains, and took Darko instead. After one game the points are in my favor, but the $ isn't. I felt I had to try something different, and take some early chances to hopefully make up for my horrible start.
Anyway I've got the Mempho cheap connection Gay/Darko, and avoided the Turks, Dunleavy's and the Haywoods. We'll see how it shakes out.
I still have Aldridge and AK-47, I guess I'll hold until there is a clear way out. |

I think Darko is a nice choice. If Haywood resorts to normal form, I hope Darko is center eligible by then and he would be a good choice I think. Last I checked he was F only.
I just hope my big guns Lebron,Howard, and Paul keep supporting the rest of my team. Delfino,A. Wright, Bogans,Webster,Brewer,Haywood,Granger don't strike a lot of fear in others. I have been happy with Webster,Brewer,Granger. I have no trades planned the rest of this week (yeh, right) and hope some patience with these guys will pay off. They all need some decent games to at least keep the money coming.
Not sure how patient managers will be with Haywood, especially with Darko potentially out there, if not already, at center.

The 13th is what I am waiting on...
I think I may move into Harrington and Azu that day...not sure for who yet.
I could potentially trade Nelson, Williams, Bass, Haywood, or Harrison...in some combination.

13 Ardsley Knicks Not waiting...Haywood sold x 3 to Harrison. Can not stand woody and really did not want him in the first place but it looked to good. Very impatient move but two games with him is enough. Pocketed the cash and moving on. Definetly need more opotion at C and when that happens get ready to unload Harrison as well.

I'll hold Haywood for now and will move on after he has sucked against the Hawks. The currently available options are not too enticing IMO. Don't want to use two trades to get the C I really want in a few days.

It's no secret that Harrington is an interesting name for next week. And because of the different positions, I don't think he will be negatively affected by the end of Jackson's suspension. I rather believe SJax will push Azubuike back into the low teens. A bit similar to what I think Artest's return will do to the production of either Garcia or Salmons.

There would be Bynam love, except that he doesn't play until Tuesday (and Phil indicated that he will be playing Odom inside on offensive sets).....I'm sensing a big move into Rudy Gay (who has busted out big time his last two games). He could be the guy that gets all the Brewer buys when that train arrives at the station. Given the small price compression that has developed between Gay and Brewer, I'm sensing that time might have come!

Yeah, I'm just concerned that Williams' minutes in yesterday's game stemmed from them getting beaten by a not-so-great team, as opposed to being a regular member of the rotation.
I could theoretically hold Foyle for another day to gather more information on Williams, but I think it's only going to cost me points and money if I end up deciding on Bass. I'm not expecting Foyle to have a break-out game against Phoenix, I'll be lucky to get an 8 TSNP turd out of him.
Unfortunately Orlando has the early game also, so I pretty much have to decide within the hour.

Right now I'm leaning towards holding since all three play tonight, and since there's a good number of teams playing. It would really suck to sell Foyle for one of the two, and then have an injury pop up somewhere that could alter things entirely.
Imagine if I took Bass right now, and then Jermaine goes down and Williams gets a big role. Or if I took Williams now and he stinks, I'm back to square one. I don't know. In five minutes I'll change my mind again probably.

re 43...LOL...losing a maximum of 190k on Bass wouldn't be that big a deal. He's still low enough in price that most people will hold on IMHO.
However, I do beleive that the ground Bogans is standing on is shaking and he may see a substantial loss in the next few days. He seems to be very popular and last night's "performance" can make many shaky...including me! I sold him for Shawnie Williams.

One of my team, I went
Nash -> Kobe Bryant Marion -> David West.
I already have Chris Paul on this team. Kobe doesn't play until the 13th, so I feel like it's inefficient to use up a trade to have 11.5 million player not play for a two days, but I just couldn't find anyone else.
I haven't even seen David West play. NO schedule is great but I feel like this guy could be inconsistent and could be a bust. He's not cheap either at 8.18 million.
Maybe it should also be mentioned that both players are in gravity, although I expect this to stop soon.
I thought about going Andrew Bynum instead of David West, as I feel Bynum would gain more money. but with Odom coming back it just doesn't feel right. Here are the rest of my team...
Kobe Bryant Chris Paul Jameer Nelson Bogans David West Bass Armstrong H. Brewer Przybilla Howard. D

Now that Dampier is coming back it's probably not safe to buy Bass today.
I feel like I really do need to lose Foyle though, and unfortunately I have 0 dollars in the bank.
It seems like my best options (and in general, cheapie options) are:
A. Udrih (just one game, but he has to get the minutes, and in the past has done pretty well TSNP/Min-wise, right?)
B. Louis Williams (hopefully earning himself more time, I wish Philly would just drop the charade of playing for this season and give him more time)
C. Shawne Williams (though yesterday the hot start followed by disappearing kind of worries me)
Any Toronto fans know if this Moon character is the real deal?
What are you guys in similar situations planning on doing?

I should note that in the case of Williams, I'd need a 180k window to hold until my moves Tuesday. Something I don't think is possible with the inevitable mass exodus out of Haywood/Harrison today into one or two other center options.

I would wait on Moon for another couple games. He'll get minutes while this lineup is successful, but the toronto minutes are pretty fluid, given their depth.
It can be Moon, Delfino, Kapono or whoever from one game to the next.

Why Are you worried about Shawne Williams??? What do you expect from a 500K guy?
He has played in three games with a low of 15 and a high of 22. An average of 18. Seems like a pretty stinking good value for 500K, or even 540K now. Bass is the only one at the price that has performed better and it isn't even close.

#48 wongyjongy, though I personally tend to prefer mid-priced players over full-scale barbelling, I like your roster. Only Bogans might need to be dropped soon due to his combination of high ownership and sucking. West at $8+ mil is a tad too expensive for my taste but could pan out if he goes nuts.

#49 Senator, Udrih or Louis don't look like stable options to me. I don't have Foyle, but I still have Armstrong who I would like to get rid of soon for an actual contributor. I'll wait a few more games and see what surfaces on Shawne or Moon. Right now I feel both IND and TOR are way too deep for either of them to have actual value. But we all know it takes only one tweaked ankle the change the entire landscape. So I'm prepared to endure every single digit game that Armstrong throws at us and only jump ship if there's a convincing exit route.

#52 Allwell, I drafted Hollins and I can tell you it was not pretty. If you're looking for TSNP and money, don't get him. If however you need a price-stable C-eligible name to fill your 10th slot without spending money or being in danger of actually accumulating TSNP ;), he's your man.

It turns out kaman is my man after all, I think he will be the top price mover today. With kaman scheduled to play GS next week I think one can almost be assured of a 20 rebound game.Cant deal with hollins total lack of production, and so I am in the hold armstrong camp for now... I like the big z suggestion, but no.

Soulman, yeah that's the approach I'm taking with Armstrong also. I'm just pretending he's not there, and viewing any points at all from him as a bonus since he's not hurting me money-wise.
Foyle though still can lose a lot, and I need to make a downgrade in order to afford Kobe/Bynum on Tuesday. There is the option of passing on Kobe and getting Baron instead, but Bynum really solves the center issue. A week from this Tuesday a mass exodus from Howard and Aldridge would not surprise me at all.
Right now I'm leaning slightly towards Udrih because: - he's a guard - first night back and already played a lot of minutes - only pure point guard on their roster - historically he's had a very good tsnp/min ratio
I'm not sure what to do really. I don't feel good about any of the moves really, especially since Kirilenko would be involved in my Kobe swap and he's an absolute monster lately. I feel like skipping Kobe though is just asking for it.

#59 To be honest, it would surprise me if Kaman was one of the top price movers today. I can see him appear in tomorrow's price movers list though. But not on the side you probably would like him to see... ;)
#60 Senator, I can see your point with Foyle as understandably it hurts to see him lose money every day. I'm not convinced that Udrih is the solution but right now I don't see a good alternative either.
Personally, I'm gonna skip Kobe, as my utter inaptness to build RV makes it nigh impossible to work an $11m player into my roster right now. I probably will also skip Bynum, as I don't like the combination of the Zen Master's plans with Odom down low and the fact that even without this, Bynum has only averaged 23 minutes per game so far.

Yeah, there is the option of skipping Kobe/Baron entirely and keeping Kirilenko, moving Iverson into Harrington, and upgrading Foyle to a guard of some sort. It just seems that historically when I've tried to do this I get punished (most infamously the Antonie Walker with Dallas over Duncan year). I've been awful with FV this year so far also, but Kobe and Bynum will probably be top, if not the top, gainers. I do have the same concerns with Bynum, but I remember last year I thought the same thing and hesitated, and Bynum ended up going off while I was stuck with a faltering Mikki Moore.

Anyone else hoping that mass owners will sell Haywood? From what I see, Haywood has 4 30+ pt games vs. 2 15 pt games. The last I checked he was about $4 mil which equals a pretty darn good pts per million avg. He is one of few big men in Was and should see plenty of playing time each game. So with that said, I see my team moving up the ranks as people jump to Bynum hopefully, a back-up who gets about 23 minutes a game. I sure Bynum will NEVER have a poor outing so he is great trade right now.

Amazing how many people still don't understand the reality of the situation. By making that trade you didn't increase your RV by 370K. You increased it by 190K.
If you started with 53,000,000 you would have 53,190,000 instead of 52,820,000 for only a gain of 190K in RV.

Amazing you didn't understand Rip's post. I don't see anywhere where he said banking RV is not important. All he did was state a fact. You only made 190K on the transaction. He didn't say you shouldn't have made the trade. People think they made 370K by making the trade. Wrong...you made 190K...end of story. Maybe you should understand someone's post first before you criticize it.

SU, I did the Bogans to Beno swap today. I read the Sac. Bee and it sounded like they love him. He should get decent minutes, and hopefully produce.
Game wise its not a great trade, but should atleast save my team RV losses.

Rip: Your math is off You said: If you started with 53,000,000 you would have 53,190,000 instead of 52,820,000 for only a gain of 190K in RV
You left out the 180 you would have lost for the 370 net gain.
I failed to also mention that -Wilkens was about to lose his starting job -Gay would outscore him -Gay with better sked plus what I could do with the 370 extra later on
Plus of course...It made me #1 in overall RV (At least for now)

#74...What is so difficult to understand the concept of this. Lets take a real transaction and work through it. Say you have a RV of $53,000,000 and no reserve in the bank. You own Wilkens who was at $4,820,000. You now trade Wilkens for Gay who at the time was $4,070,000. You have $52,250,00 being used and now you have $750,000 in your bank. The price changes occur. (Assume everybody on your team stayed the same except Gay for this example.) Now you have $52,440,000 in play and still have $750,000 in your bank. $52,440,000 plus $750,000 gives you a total of $53,190,000 in total RV. Tell me exactly where Rips math is off. Seems like some solid analysis to me.

had u held Wilkins you would of lost 180k giving you an RV of 52,820,000.
So as a result of the trade you are at 53.19 instead of 52.82 a net gain of .370k
Isnt this just semantics?

Rich you might have started the day at 53,000,000 but without the trade, you would have ended the day at 52,800,000. If you are inevitably going to trade out of Wilkins, you will thus no longer have the extra 180,000 that he lost. The 190 you gained PLUS the 180 you didn't lose HELLO, why is this concept so difficult. Why do you think people trade one player for another. Very often not only to gain, but not to lose. Do we get this yet ?

we are not talking about what you gained from one day to the next but what you gained as a result of the trade. Consider a similar example. I start the day with 0 points. Today I had Ming on my team but this morning I inexplicably traded him for Brezec. Per your logic this trade netted me 5 points as I had zero before and 5 points now. Would u really argue that? Seems pretty clear in this case i Lost 49.5 points (54.5 - 5). The examples mirror each other.

This article raves about how much Udrih played made the Kings offence a lot better in the last game compared with others.
"Although Theus said Sunday that Francisco García will retain his starting spot, the long-term plan almost certainly will include the recently signed Udrih playing significant minutes even after Bibby returns in approximately two months. The need is great for the fourth-year player's point guard abilities, with the Kings desperate to find a way to move the ball at a faster pace and create easier shots than the current approach affords."
And he apparently was playing in crunch time in the last game.
I'm considering Bogans > Beno, who's with me?

#92 Haywood has lost 170k on Saturday, 50k on Sunday, a day he was playing. He's still top-owned center if TSN data is correct, has now 2 days off when similar priced alternative and attractive options are starting good schedules. I don't have a magic ball but certainly don't want to experiment the combined 500k I suspect he will have lost by Wednesday. We would be in February, I hold in a heartbeat. We're in November, I sell.
#93 The beauty of getting both Someone #1 and Someone #2 is that Someone #3 doesn't have to be C Eligible when you look for a replacement of Someone #1 or 2# after their crappy play. That's said, if both Someone #1 and #2 play poorly, Someone #4 will need to be C eligible which means that both Someone #1 and #2 were mistakes if we get to that point. I may also reevaluate Someone #1. I'm sure someone will get that paragraph.

It's kind of hard to dodge all the losers, at least on my roster ;)
I'm all for the money, but Bogans to Udrith seems as lateral as it gets, and crappy lateral to boot. Projected over the next three weeks Bogans outpoints Udrith, and if you use 7 day averages ( which includes 2 clunkers for Bogans ), he outpoints Udrith by nearly 50 points.
And if it's all about the money, I hope a trade is saved for Webster, and even for Brewer in a week.

Dave is right! Won't sell haywood today, because he's a center. Won't sell bogans today because he's cheap. Maybe they will lose something today, or even tomorrow, but then the bleeding is over. And who knows, if they put up solid games they could rise again. Webster, Brewer, and even Paul are better Canditates to cash my money next week!

I totally agree with you that Bogans to Beno is lateral, and I agree you can't dodge all the $$ losers. Out of the 3 players you mentioned, Bogans, Webster, Brewer, I'll gladly take the $$ hits on Brewer and keep him while I dump Bogans and Webster.
In my teams case, I've already suffered big hits on AK-47 and Aldridge, and didn't want to take another hit on Bogans.
If I remember correctly, last week alot of managers did a Ak-47 to Wilkens lateral. Hopefully the Bogans to Beno lateral doesn't cost me as many points as that one did other managers last week. ;)

500K? i think that's a little dramatic. wouldn't almost everyone who is selling him, sell him today? i could easily see him as the top loser tonight at 170-190, but i would think the following day it would be significantly less. i definitely don't think he will lose 250 a day.

How important is Kobe?
Tomorrow i will have the funds available to go to him from RJ but this doesn't gain a game for 2 weeks (still gain 100 points int hat period). RJ has been so good to sell this early tho.
The alternative for the extra money if not Kobe would be Wilkins to Baron at the end of the week or many spread out somehow if I sell Brewer than too.
Right now Im leaning towards going Kobe. Is it crazy to trade out of RJ at this point?

#104 I think Gescom meant all price changes since Haywood began bleeding. Meaning Sat -170, Sun -50, today -190 and tomorrow -90 or so. Which would sum up to his prediction of -500k overall.
#107 Right now it looks a bit crazy to me but only time will tell. If Kobe completely goes nuts it could work out. Personally, I have way too many weak positions to even be touching a rock-solid performer as Jefferson. But then again, I also don't have any intention to add the Mamba.
#108 Agreed. But not in the amounts that make me want to drop him for some of the more than dubious replacement options currently available.

I see your point SOulman, however, as Gescom pointed out, he was a solid option even when VC was healthy...I have an hour to decide but leaning to
Haywood & Bogans - Harrington & Wright.
How much do you think Haywood and Bogans lose this week, because I would love to hold?
Do you think Haywood will stop losing money on Wednesday because as of then his schedule is the best in the league and I'm thinking of holding.

I'm with you Soulman on Wright.
I'm planning on picking up Harrington, and possibly Baron also. I'm still debating whether I should get Kobe or Baron, or even both somehow but Baron late.
The thing I don't like about it is that no matter what the only way I can get Harrington is by selling either Aldridge or Kirilenko. If this were February I wouldn't make this move 99 out of 100 times, but it's feeling necessary this early and already being so behind in RV. Not only that, but in order to maximize the gains (Harrington could easily be up around 400k in three days) I'd have to sacrifice a game 3 Aldridge games for 2 Harrington's.
There's no good way to swing it I think.

#130 Yeah, I admit that if I had Bogans, my temptation for Wright would be even greater. Luckily, I only have Haywood to ditch and his replacement clearly is Harrington so I don't have room for Wright anyway.
As for the losses, I see Haywood drop a combined -300k today, tomorrow and on Wednesday (when the already tradeless managers have 4 new to blow). After that the bleeding will stop provided he performs OK on Wednesday. Another 'Haywood'- performance like we are used to from previous seasons and the exodus will continue.

ID: 141130310 Mon, Nov 12, 2007, 19:03

Yeah I think I'm going to do something like that - view it as Baron games instead of Harrington games but still move from Aldridge.
I'll grab either Baron or Harrington tomorrow from Iverson (whichever one I think will make more money, as of now probably Harrington) and then move Aldridge for the other, and in theory take "2 Baron games + a lot of money over 3 Aldridge games". Or I could wait if I want to play it conservatively.
The only downside is no Kobe. That's never fun, but I don't think I can get him without giving up Kirilenko or passing on Harrington, without the games lost total being too much.
I think I'm going to sacrifice Maxiell's Tuesday game. Given the more attractive options (who I'm probably not taking today, I'm going to go for a sleeper instead), Maxiell could lose a lot tonight and then more tomorrow too. This early in the season and after my rough start, I think I have to make the sacrifice, given I've officially declared Maxiell as poop.

I moved Webster for Wright yesterday. Wright was doing fine with VC in the lineup and VC's track record makes me think he will be out a while.
I have also been against moving Haywood until today. Losing 50K on a day he plays coupled with a light trading day has convinced me to move him. I also think that $$ is going to play a bigger roll this year than it has in years past due to the way TSN priced players.
I am moving Haywood > Harrington x 5

Moon is the true risk/reward player.

The -190k is going to hurt tonight on Haywood, but I'm going to hold. He is the best C option in his price range and can be held until 12/02. I picked up Harrington from other players(Maxiel/Webster) so that should at least dampen the rv hit.

I'm starting to shaken a bit with all the Haywood talks. My RV is already horrible and can't stand another massive hit. Conventional wisdom says the return of Jackson will likely push Azubuike back to the bench but Nelson as we all know is anything but conventional.
2 hours to make up my mind.

I've already been shaken into submission.
I think it's crazy, but I traded Haywood...with almost two hours to undo. Still have 400K in profits to protect...even after the last couple days of losses.

I think I'm taking that trip to the moon after Martells game tomorrow if Beno does well tonight.
Sam Mitchell loves defense, Moon is full of it, and Kapono/Juan Dixon lack it. Everything I've read on Moon is positive, and I just watched some highlights. The kid looks good, and he tries to pattern his game after Scottie Pippen. I think he gets real minutes from here on out for the Raps.
Without taking Moon, my options from Aldridge/Martell look awful. By taking Moon from Martell, Aldridge can turn into Kobe or Baron.

Harrington.
Not sure his production will be any better than Haywood's, but he'll get more minutes than Bynum and has the best schedule of the three.
...like I'll actually hold him for 4 weeks

Man, looks like everyone is bailing on Haywood. I'm guessing a +350k swing from Haywood to Bynum or Harrington tonight.

I also was going to hold Haywood, but it seems crazy now as we try to build RV. I'm 80k short of getting Harrington from Webster and don't think moving Granger just to hold Haywood makes any sense. Those are my options short of moving Howard, which I don't plan on doing.
Lebron>Kobe tomorrow and hope Webster can do a little better and avoid the selling.

not sure it was all panic sellers. panic sellers got the ball rolling on saturday and sunday, but i think most people posting on this thread just weren't willing to take the $ hit.
when there are big profits to lose, patience at the beginning of the game has to be used carefully. it can be just as detrimental as a quick trigger.

160: the only MEM player worth taking is rusy gay IMO and with the GS guy i would jus pick harrington as a solid pick .... i'd pass on Kelinzu Aifidfiasdhfiu since stephen jackson is comin back and likely to take his spot and i feel like baron davis is too whack to lock 10 million into for that long .. there are so many other options if your going to trade tommorrow ... like kobe, d howard if you don't have him for some reason or even KG if you can afford him

Will be trading Iverson today. Don't have enough money to upgrade to Kobe. My plan was to trade to Baron Davis, but considering he always seems to get hurt I am considering buying Rudy Gay (or Bynum) instead and using the money to upgrade someone else next week (not sure whom).
Today's Contra Costa Time reports: Notes: Davis did not practice for a third consecutive day, working with strength and conditioning coach John Murray instead. Nelson revealed that Davis had been suffering from swelling in his left knee after taking a hard fall during Thursday's loss to the Mavericks. "If it hadn't have been for these five days off, I don't think he could have played probably until maybe (Tuesday) anyway," Nelson said, who hopes Davis can practice today. Team spokesmen had said previously that Davis was being held out to afford him some rest after playing all but four seconds Thursday. After Nelson's comment, athletic trainer Tom Abdenour said through a spokesman that Davis suffered a contusion to his knee and that the swelling was "nothing out of the ordinary." Davis said that he would be available to play 48 minutes, if necessary, on Wednesday.
I'd be happy to consider any advice.

I'm in the same situation as well, and leaning towards the Rudy Gay, Baron Davis combo, as I think both would gain more money than Kobe and Wright. In the above quote "Davis said that he would be available to play 48 minutes", so I'm taking it on face value and assume he'll play and hold my breath.

I think I'm making the money moves today out of Lebron and Gibson... I think they are decent points holds next week but this weeks 2 games in 7 days is going to kill them money wise! I can do Kobe and get to pick from another sub $5.0M guy.... Since the Harrington (GS) and Gay (Mem) money trains have already left the station; and I added Troy Murphy yesterday; I think I'm leaning toward Haslem today.. wish me luck!

I think Wright is going to be very good with Carter out.... I would go Kobe/Wright over Baron/$5M(pick-em?)!

I had some trades lying around and some guys who needed to go so I blew my team up:
Gibson -> Gay Boozer -> Shawne Williams Maxiell -> Murphy Ilgauskas -> Harrington
Then I looked and realized I had some extra cash I didn't want to sit on so, for Blooki, I went Armstrong -> Garnett

something else, I found this today...
At this minute Stephon was not at practice and his whereabouts are unknown. He went AWOL and will be fined.
Says the organization is no longer staying behind him.
Isiah says they want him on the team and he'll be fined.
Marbury is probably not starting and may not even be at the game. Says if Marbury doesn't start then he might cause a lot of problems.
IT also said Curry might not start based on performance.
Randolph will not be at the game.
Mardy Collins will start at PG tonight.
Oh my Knicks....

70K short of going Webster>Gay, should have thought about doing that last night. Lebron>Kobe has been done. I suppose I could get Baron instead of Kobe, but I don't trust his health with the minutes Nellie has been playing him. I guess I'll just stick it out with Webster for now. Granger>Gay seems lateral.

I have been watching Buckner...but I am wondering why people are selling out of Brewer.
I am thinking my purchase of David Waste was a bad move. May spread his money out or up...I don't know. Could get Buckner for Bass if I move Brewer to Forward.
