No moves were made for this waiver period as I'm hoping we can repeat our 1st place finish again.
There should be plenty of roster turnover on our individual teams as many long term players have schedules that are coming to an end and others that have dense schedules.

Okay guys....talk me down from the ledge.
I have 5 trades.
Thinking of going:
Baron to Nash
Howard to Amare
Boozer to Hill
Nazr to Duncan
Holding:
Iggy/Salmons/Jian/Telfair/Dalem/Gerald

in response to this from the last thread

all those trades are def good as we talkd bout I went Duncan + Amare too

only thing you don't HAVE to do is baron > Nash unless you need some extra money to make the other moves since Nash + Baron play the same amount of games (like we said about S Jax + Duncan) except that i give the big game advantage to Baron and the consistency advantage to Nash ... up to u

Okay here is my dilema.
I can hold baron and forgo getting Hill, but I dont have the cash to go TD back to Howard.
If I go Baron to Hill I would have the cash but that means being locked into using my last trade next Tuesday.
Decisions.

I think I'll move Nazr/Howard to Bynum/Stoudemire today.

That leaves 3 trades.

Paul will probably move back into Howard.
That leaves 2.

If all else goes well, I could then upgrade Maxiell to Calderon on Sunday. Another alternative would be to move Maxiell to Hill today. But I'm not keen on getting down to only one unplanned trade on a Thursday, especially with guys like Wade & Baron on the roster.

Next week, I would have to do something with Wade (assuming he survives that long), and then I'd also expect to move Bynum to Kaman at the end of the week (Jan 15).

How sold are you guys on Bynum? Do you think that he had two bad games against two good D's or is this what he's going to be like now that Kwame's back? I have 8 trades and I am not sure that he is worth a pick up for such a short term? I am looking at:

Howard -- TD
Nazr -- Amare
Brewer -- Hill
AJeff -- Salmons/Bynum??

I also would like to get out of Telfair early and bank the $1M plus I've made.

Later in the week it would be:

CP -- Kobe
TD -- Howard
AI -- ?? (i'll need to get $$ for the TD -- Howard move)

That would leave next week having to move Kobe and Bynum if I get him. What do you guys think about Bynum?

I do think there is some point risk with Bynum, although I don't think you should read too much into recent games vs. Boston and Utah. In particular, a lot of players have put up substandard results vs. Boston.

I had hoped to be able to wait for another few days to assess the situation before getting him, but Nazr has forced the issue. That also makes Bynum a big price beneficiary for the next few days (out of Howard and particularly Nazr, barring a complete meltdown.

Even if the points turn out to be disappointing, I think the gains should be worthwhile. And at least he won't stink it up tonight, since the Lakers don't play until tomorrow.

C.Bird:
I will not be getting back into Bynum because the shcedule is a tad short.
Anyone who has watched the Lakers knows the problem is not Bynum but Phil Jackson.
I dont know what more Bynum needs to prove to not be concerned about looking over his shoulder at Kwame.
The Lakers made a bad move and need to move on.
The future is Bynum....get what you can from Kwame and call it a day.
That being said I think Bynum's production should be decent but probably not the same when Kwame is out.

I ended up going Howard/Nazr/Brewer/AJeff to Hill/TD/Amare/Bynum.

I will hold Telfair until the end of the week.

I will move CP to Kobe (most likely), TD/AI to Howard & ?? on Tuesday.

Happy with my Rv gains yesterday but not all that happy with Hill.
I was going to undo and switch to JRich but the undo had passed.
Hill should do well enough and can be held for long time.
I need to dodge a couple of bullets with Jian and being left with one trade to move TD.
I know it was a big gamble but if it works it could pay off huge.
I will move Telfair after the refresh.

in my trade calculations for this week i completly forgot Paul had to go already ..... i was 50/50 on getting howard back sincei don't have a clear entry into him (traded iverson early)

So basically on the possible trade block this week is Paul + Wade (possibly before his b2b)

What is the consensus move from Paul?

I see alot of Kobe's?

I was thinking Gerard Wallace as he is producing great .. has a better schedule then Kobe and most importantly frees me up the 2 million i need for Howard again.

Thoughts on the paul move? do you think gerard's train is a few days too late to jump on?

he is now the #5 owned forward

yea .... 2 days ago u tol me to stray away from gerard tho because he is too high now .... i see my best long term options from paul to be either Gerard or tony Parker .... nash could work too but paul's schedule doesnt go into Phoenix's directly

so its either Gerard or Parker its looking like .... Memphis schedule starts great too after the b2b but is anyone looking at Gasol he is at a 37.5 15 day avg for 8.8 mill

Mo williams is a good option too from ppl who don't have him out of paul .. i alredy picked him up though

I had planned to move Paul to Howard, which is one reason I avoided Duncan.

I had no plans for Kobe, even though he'll probably be the popular route out of Paul.

I've gotta confess, however, that I'm second guessing whether a return to Howard is really necessary. After his 4-in-5 (all on the road), his schedule is pretty weak (6 in the next 14, and not a speck of green for the rest of the entire season). If he keeps up his pace, he's probably worth it for awhile, but after a quick burst of gains, he's unlikely to hold his value.

So if I'm avoiding Kobe because of the short tenure, maybe Howard isn't the best alternative.

I could possibly squeeze in Paul/Maxiell=>Mo Will/G.Wallace on Sunday, depending on interim price movement.

Talk about having a roster full of DNP risks! They do have the best schedule outlooks, but how likely is it that they can stay active and productive throughout?

Yea i hadnt iniitally planned the need to go back to Howard .... its more of a sentiment thing ... i realized barring a few off days ive had howard on my team the whole season .... his numbers have been down and his schedule is only worthwhile for his 4in5 in the road really .... i think its a $$ desicion though as he will gain a significant amount back but i wouldn't care much to not weasel a way back into him either

It has been my opinion all along that Wallace is overvalued and I was going to stay away. So far this has been my biggest mistake of the season. I am considering moving into him but that fact that he is so highly owned and most of his money is past will probably be enough to keep me away. In my experience in this game it is generally a bad move to move into a widely held player late.

I am going with Kobe from CP because I get the greatest number of games and I have the trades. If I didn't have 4 at this point I would probably skip him.

Regarding getting back into Howard, I can see your point but for those that made the move to TD, it only makes sense to make the move back to Howard (if you have the $$) You can get 6 Howard games to 3 TD games over the same period and he fits perfectly back into TD once those 6 games are over. It is a 3 game advantage for one trade, which is a no-brainer to me.

I think we need to see how Duncan performs to gauge how holdable he is... I skipped Chris Paul and I'm not surprised that he has performed well; I am, however, shocked that he has sustained buying of over $700K for his short hold.

Yeah, it will depend on how well he plays. If I could get back into Howard from another player and TD is playing at or above par I would probably hold him. I think he will make back any losses that may occur.

Feeling better about Duncan this morning... A little worried about Grant Hill... Trade challenged with only two left... I hate wasting trades on cheapies! Bought Beno on 12/23 and decided on 12/26 I didn't need a cheapie and turned him into Jamael Tinsley who I traded 4 days later!!! Bought Shawn Williams on 12/18 and decided on 12/22 that Nazr Mohammed was a "must have!" ARRGGHH!!! Held Marco Jaric from 12/11 to 12/18! Jameer Nelson -- bought on 12/9 sold on 12/13!!!! Marvin Williams was in on 11/29 out on 12/7.
AND THAT IS JUST LOOKING BACK THRU DECEMBER!!

Need you guys to help talk me off the ledge! My two cheapies dejoure are Telfair and McDyess who both have schedules that are drying up.. Thinking of using that Tuesday Tim Duncan to Dwight Howard trade (who is only a five day hold!) to trade Telfair to.....

I cann't believe I'm saying this (been using the sortables this morning)... Seattle Supersonic.... Kurt Thomas???

Did my wife slip something in my drink last night? I swear I didn't even open a beer last night!!!

Thomas looks like a 35 day upgrade to me?

Only one trade with Telfair and TD.
I knew that going agressive wouldnt be without risk although thus far the RV rewards have been great.
950K the last two days.
It seems the bank wants me to pay back some of that loan I took out.
Here is my dilema.
Do I suck up the Telfair losses and go TD to Howard as planned?
Or do I move Telfir for either Bynum or JRich and suck up the TD losses?

Weykool, I would eat the Telfair losses to make the TD -- Howard move. Your RV is solid enough to take the hits. I think that the TD/Howard move is going to be worth too many points to pass up.

As for me I am going to concede that I made a mistake not getting Wallace sooner and get him from Paul. I was going to get Kobe but I need to move Telfair tonight (i knew I should have moved him 3 days ago). I am going to Calderon. It loses a game but Calderon should still easily outpoint him. So Calderon today, Paul to Wallace tomorrow and then TD/AI to Howard/Salmons on Tuesday. That uses the rest of my trades but I only need to move Bynum to Kaman at the end of next week.

#25
ki, if it helps you, I was looking hard at Thomas two days ago (desperately searching for a Dorell exit) but shied away because there were news about Carlesimo possibly employing a three-guard lineup. Additionally, for a team whose only target this season it can be to develop young talent and to secure as many lottery balls as possible, I don't see the point in overusing a 35-year-old veteran. He has performed recently but I don't trust the situation. In fact so much that I even skipped Amare to not be forced money-wise to get Thomas.

Like Coach Bird, my only planned move next week would be Bynum=>Kaman.

Weykool - it looks like your worst move this year was picking me in round 1. While that doesn't explain all our of deficiency vs. 1st place, if you had passed on me, one of the top teams might have gotten stuck with me, further closing the gap.

I keep thinking my team is turning the corner, but every time, there seems to be another brick wall that I run into.

For some reason, this just doesn't seem to be my year...

My GMD team isnt doing much better and it is doing better than most my other teams.
The trophy will be handed out some time in April so there is plenty of time for the cream to rise to the top.
The other teams have managers who are using half and half and will be exposed when the going gets tough.

A. Wade > someone less thn 9M
going CP3 > Howard and having a 2 non play gap

and for the under 9 mill option im looking at Gerard Wallace + Shawn Marion

B. cp3> whoever td > dhoward

C. CP/WADE tonight > Nash/Kidd/Marion

My $0.02.... and a little repetition of my venting above in post #25..
Wade's already DNPed once and his schedule is drying up anyway! Trade him!
Duncan has a great schedule out to 1/29. Not sure I understand a trade poor team going Duncan to Howard for a 4 in 5! Just don't see it, myself. Take that with a grain of salt though as I also missed the recent Chris Paul run!

I hope you all reading my posts and chuckle a little. For me this game is a hobby and not anything to be taken too seriously. I've had some great runs and some aweful stretches (like the past month!) My posts are a way to vent a little at times and hope no takes an opinion of mine too seriously... Opinions are like a*@h&*#s, every's got one!

Love playing with you guys. Hope you are enjoying this season and YES there is a LONG LONG LONG was to go. I promise to give my 100%.. even if that means considering KURT THOMAS!

I have no information that Wade is a DNP for tomorrow. My decision to move him now is because I had one trade in reserve for this week, and I figure I might as well use it, since he was going to be sold next week anyway. However, holding Wade is not necessarily a bad move.

He's listed only as day-to-day. But with pending back-to-back games, it doesn't seem unreasonable that Miami might choose to sit him for a few days in hopes that he can really recuperate from his various ailments, rather than trot him out there twice in a row.

If you decide to hold him, JMISA, then from a team standpoint, we're splitting the difference.

A: KOBE
pros: Best possible scedule through his hold and a direct route into Kaman without losing any days

cons: Like Dirk he jus flat out sucks this year

B: D Howard

pros: He is D Howard

Cons: 2 Days before his next game ... even so not the greatest schedule unless planning to move back into TD (whom i alredy have)

C: G wallace

pros: Kaman-like tsnp/$mill production and the best long term schedule

cons: He alredy went up like GAS prices.

but im still on a tossup between Kobe + Gerard

1v1 u think Gerard will outpoint KObe in 6 games?

i like the Kobe > Kaman schedule link

another question is if Kobe will make more money then Gerard in 9 days time

what would push me to gerard is if i figure out a reason to need th extra 2.5 mill he is cheapr then kobe in the next week

What are the Duncan owners doing this tuesday?

I am thinking the move to Howard is worth it, the value you get for that extra trade is very high although I still haven't figured out my out from Howard. I guess if you don't have Bynum then Howard->Kaman is simple, but if you already have that move planned from Bynum, then Howard needs another out.

I have about $8.55M to get any position. I want to keep about $1M in the bank for my Bynum to Kaman move next week. I was looking at Vince as a long term hold. I could get MoWil or Jamison but I don't really like Mo and Jamison is too short of a hold. Do you guys think that Vince will escape gravity today or any time soon?

C. Bird... I like Mo Willy of your options. New Jersey looks good long term and the back to back today is enticing; but I've got to think you will look at a Net purchase on Thursday at the start of 3 games in 9 days and say "Argh, why did I do that?"

I don't know that Yi's price hit will be so bad. He was being bought around Christmas time, when general trade activity was probably light. And today is a trade refresh day. He'll take a hit, for sure, but it's hard to say how big.

With Yi, I'd be more worried about the points.

Hill to Kamen?? WOW I've heard a lot of talk about that... He is at the start of 3 games in 9 days; isn't that the reason we sell players?... Guess since I'm bringing up the rear I should probably following instead of questioning.. But I just don't see the logic in that one.. I'm sure the money will be there but this game is about points? Right?

...the only logic I do see in Hill to Kamen is no other option in that price range jumps out at me.. Golden State Schedule dries up on 1/16 and I was thinking SJax and Baron to Kamen and someone else then... I'm leaning toward Hill to Calderon but definitely open to suggestions?

I really had no problem with getting Kaman this early. For his price, 140 tsnp in 9 days is not bad. It's like having a 6.3M center averaging 28/g for a 5 in 9.
As I said, not bad. But I would really be stuck with Bynum, so Calderon hopefully solves this problem.

KI:
When I made the trade to Hill I was going to undo it and get JR but it was past the deadline to undo a trade.
Hill sucked while I had him and had to be traded anyways and I didnt have the cash to get JR and took SJax instead.
As you can see the snowball just keeps getting bigger.


Now I have Nash/Jian/Dalem and only 2 trades.
My head hurts from thinking about it so if anyone would like to offer an opinion....please, be my guest.

WK,

Yi to Carter on Sunday looks good. If you really need the RV you can make it today and lose a game, but I would do it sunday.

Now for the two Canadians...

Between Nash and Dalem, I think it depends on how Nash is feeling. But I would say hold Dalembert, take the RV hit and move him to Bynum on the 20th. You'll need an in for Bynum anyways, so this solves one problem.

If Nash is a no go before the game, there are no real good options, so your guess is as good as mine.

I think I'll just hold Nash, regardless - unless there is word that this will be more than a one game issue. Even if he doesn't play tonight, he should be ready by Saturday, and I wasn't originally planning to move him.

Carter may end up being my eventual out from Udrih. Sounds like Bibby may be back as early as Jan 16 (next Wed) and Martin may return as early as Jan 14 (Monday), putting a probable damper on the PT for both Udrih and Salmons.

2 trades lingering for YI + Dalembart

Yi has a b2b but sucks so much i really wanna drop him tonight for either carter or moon

would today be the consensus day to sell dalembart

i would like to hold him for his next game and then > Kaman but i don;t wanna take over a 100k of RV hit

Pulled the trigger Salmons to Parker.. What I'm reading sounds like he is probably going to play but I cann't wait till gametime to see if he plays cause by then Parker is froze.. I think Parker is an upgrade since it sounds like Bibby and Martin are back for Sac next week... I've got to turn a corner sometime?? Don't I??

Anyone else thinking 2/5 Dwight Howard to Lebron James... I know Howard is going to bleed some next week... but his 11 in 23 is still enough to project him out to a top 5 performer over that stretch.
I would hold Nash if I had him. He just has the flu so probably (with antibiotics) plays a limited game on Saturday and is back a healthy stregnth next Tuesday when his schedule gets good. A little rest on his "tired joints" could be a plus for next week!
And Wekool, i'd hold Dalembert as well! I'm holding AI2 thru the 3 in eight because on the other side of that is a 6 in 9!!!!!

I have several Beno's on other teams and just cant seem to pull the trigger.
There will be an RV hit that is for certain.
The question is how much and what is your tolerance to absorb those losses.
When you look at the real stock market there is a well know phrase that goes "buy the rumor, sell the news".
In this case it will be sell on the rumor but my guess is Beno will not see a significant decrease in production.
Points wise my guess is Beno out produces Daniels.

I'm thinking I will go Dalembert to Kaman tomorrow and Jian to Smith (CHI) on Sunday.
My window into kaman is 150K.....what are my chances?
KI....still waiting on that JB

I'd like to say good chances for that window. It's a busier trading day, Kaman isn't playing, Dalembert is. Kaman will have to gain 100 and Dalembert lose 50K. I really don't see it happening. But I've been surprised before.

Another factor I've never been able to prove is. Dalembert plays at 7 pm. Theoretically, the less time people have to trade, the better.

I'm sticking with my plan of Bynum->Kaman, hopefully Kaman will have a big game on tueday.

Re: 118

I'm personally going Dwight => Kaman on the teams that don't have him. I can't justify buying into a 1 in 4 when there are other attractive options available. My other teams got Kaman on 1/12 from Dalembert, which was a 2 in 6 at the time. The difference was that there was absolutely nobody else (I felt) worth buying on that date. But that's just me.

I guess unless he starts producing over 36/g, he is the same deal as Jamison, or worse, so for now I'm sticking with my plan to get Jamison from Calderon

being that his game is last though i think i'll jus hold off on getting him til his next game so i can jus get Nash instead of Carmelo and not have to trade Haywood out of his game tonight

This is about all I can find on Kaman:
From Orange County Register...Kaman apparently sprained his ankle in the latter stages of the Dallas game, although no injury report was issued during or after the game. Dunleavy said there is no pronounced swelling in Kaman's ankle, which likely should allow him to play tonight.

Warning the same article also said he was sitting out practice.
