I have/had planned Duncan to Paul today.
Still leaves 3mil sitting on my bench :)
But those will be used on Turkoglu at one point if he keeps dropping me 20's.
Could do Turk to Paul today too, but I will resist :)

I only held Carter to go from Carter to Kaman today (Duncan to Bosh is the other move today).

So what to do? Should i pick West or Odom?

deejay, may as well hold Turk.You can use the cash to move him to TD on 2/28.

For me today, Duncan => Kaman for sure. I would love to do something with Marvin Williams. I could:

1) Grab David West today
2) Hold an get Roy tomorrow ( assuming a $130K window doesn't slam shut )
3) Hold and get Earl Watson tomorrow. That would leave a sizable amount of cash on hand to maybe move Peja, whenever.

Any other thoughts?

Can someone supply a quick recap of Kaman since I'm not registered at LA times.

I go to OC Register and it talks about how everyone is healthy and had a spirited 5 of 5 practice yesterday. Center Chris Kaman appeared back at full strength, after losing approximately 15 pounds earlier this month, because of the flu.

This is from the article:

"That full practice thing Monday was short-lived.

Center Chris Kaman came down with a sore right shin and is listed as questionable tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies as the Clippers return from the All-Star break.

Kaman is still trying to regain an offensive rhythm after sitting out five games with flu and dropping about 15 pounds.

"It's hard because your teammates play a certain way without you and then you get back and they don't want to change," Kaman said. "They played pretty well in that stretch. It's tough coming back from anything when you are out that long."

This is from the OC Register:

The Clippers had perfect attendance in their first workout after the four-day All-Star break. There was a spirited five-on-five scrimmage that concluded the workout. Center Chris Kaman appeared back at full strength, after losing approximately 15 pounds earlier this month, because of the flu.

Also appearing to not having any lingering effects from their past ailments were forward Tim Thomas (back spasms), guard Brevin Knight (left leg stress reaction) and forward Corey Maggette (flu).
“We had a healthy group,’’ Dunleavy said.

The last few game days have been very unusual for me.
I have lost over $1M since 2/11 but have gone up over 40 places in WWR. I even had the high score in yesterday's best one day and on the same day lost $340K. I still have Jamison, Daniels, Duncan and maybe Kaman to deal with.

I also don't understand the $290K rise for Udrih last night. I can see him gaining, but I have a hard time envisioning the % of buys into him were that much higher than anyone else.

For me it's Duncan Paul today! Planned Gay -> Kaman, but changed my mind for obvious reasons. Leaves me with 8,17 Mio to get a decent Forward or Center for Gay this week. Think I will hold Gay for two more games and change him to Odom on 23rd.

Good plan. I also have Odom/Gasol in my mind for 2/23.

I already have 3 guards (Paul, Roy, Calderon) and i have to decide which of this two will be in my team next week: Deron Williams or Ginobili? I tend to Williams because i think that the return of Parker will limit Ginos heroics.

Dave Maggette banged his knee today in training, same article as Kaman, so beware.

I went Duncan to Paul already.
Now figuring out what to do with Kaman, it needs to be a F or C, I have 10mil.
Bosh/West seem to make most sense, and there is indeed Chandler too, but then lock myself out of Kaman, but that might be a good thing...

Took the easy route and moved TD to Amare, so far so good. Unfortunately I didn't have the funds to move Marvin to Bosh, so far so bad, although Marvin exceeded my expectations with 27 TSN points.

I was contemplating Kobe/ Marvin => Roy/Bosh today. The Roy news doesn't give me a lot of reasons to pick him up, even if he does play. You never know with sore ( and lingering ) ankle issues.

So, I could move Marvin to Watson today, which means I have to sell Kobe or I can't move Dirk => Deron.

Or Kobe => Watson ( shudder ) and Marvin to Bosh.

Nope, completely wrong interpretation. ;)

I realized yesterday that by saving 2m on Watson from Rondo, I can pull off further moves that I couldn't otherwise. Besides, Rondo sucked two games in a row and the Sonics trade changed the Watson picture. So it should work out TSNP-wise also, and thus was a quite natural move. The money is a welcome by-product (regardless of which pricing formula is applied), but I can assure you that with an FV of 82m and decent cheap options galore, there isn't any reason to return to playing for money. We've entered a stage where we only play for TSNP. The money will come automatically and have us end the season somewhere in the 85-90m region I reckon. Which is more than enough to field a solid final roster.

Ah ok, I didn't get it. I thought you really think I'm still going for money... ;) BTW, I don't see the gap to you closing, I think it's hovering at like 250TSNP since mid-December. So good job yourself holding firmly onto the division lead for months now. I do have one trade and 1m more but that's not really a significant advantage IMO. So it's clear that I'll be hard pressed to capture the division this year. And Gescom will have something to say about the division crown too...

Something to keep an eye on. Unfortunately I won't be around a computer tonight.

Suns forward Amare Stoudemire sat out Friday morning’s shootaround with a chest cold and nasal congestion that could limit his effectiveness tonight against the Boston Celtics.

“I’m definitely feeling the symptoms of a cold coming in,” Stoudemire said. “Hopefully with treatment and some medicine I’ll get better for tonight.”

Better or not, Stoudemire said he couldn’t see missing the matchup against the NBA’s best team.

Looks like we have 2 Kaman owners who have to deal with the news that he is questionable for Monday. And that the trainer indicates the injury usually takes 3 to 4 days to " calm down ". And that the same injury, although supposedly not as bad sidelined him for 2 weeks in training camp.

I've grown weary of Peja. I think I need to put the brakes on some other player. Earl Watson messes up other things in a couple days.

Thinking of Moon or jumping out of the box a bit and trying Tyrus Thomas.

bd, Bosh or Jefferson are both solid choices. Bosh is a little longer hold ( if such a creature exists ) and a little cheaper, Jefferson gives you a little extra flex.

I have the same concerns about Moon, and Thomas really. I'm not sure the Bulls have sorted out what they plan on doing, post trade.

Moon is really cheap so I shouldn't expect great things.

Peja is clearly not the main threat in N.O., nor the 2nd or maybe even the 3rd. If he isn't getting open looks, he rarely contributes in other areas. Bowen was his shadow last night. I think it's time to move on.

Personally Im thinking Josh Smith to Al Jefferson today.
It frees up a little cash(which I need for further plans)
Then Turloglu becomes either West(tomorrow) or Gino(thursday)
Amare always becomes TD.

I like the idea of a 3rd C, and Kaman is obviously not in my plans.

49

Tough choice.
Peja kinda sucks and I have him on another team and will likely move.
Tyrus seems the most risky, if Watson messes up your plans, then I wouldnt do that.

Either, Al Jef has the C thingy, Bosh is a longer hold.

Peja has never been anything more than a one-dimensional player when he was the team's 1st or 2nd option. Now that he's 3rd or 4th, he's a zero-dimensional player. I'd either upgrade him or free cash by dropping him. Seeing that you don't have excessive cash for a significant upgrade, Moon would be my recommendation to free cash. With West gone, Watson is also a good option, but if he messes up your plans then go another route. Tyrus is very risky IMO, I agree that the Bulls rotation isn't settled at all. Gooden will have his word to say about minute distribution. So if it can be any position, I'd say Watson; if it can't be a G, I'd say Moon.

#50
Personally, I have Bosh and will add Jefferson today, so no suprise I see both as great picks right now. For your team it depends on what you need more. You need a bit of extra money for further moves? Go Bosh. You need another C insurance (especially now that Kaman is out of the picture)? Go Jefferson.

Sun, Feb 24, 2008, 09:50

BTW, I think Kaman needs to leave from all teams today and I also think he should not be picked up again unless there isn't any other pair of decent Cs available. Which (after looking at the entire schedule) will probably not happen anymore. All the decent Cs have good enough schedules to have 2 or 3 of them at the same time right to the end of the season, so there's no use gambling on Kaman's shaky health. Besides, Brand is already back in practice so don't be surprised to see him back in action in a few weeks.

Yeah, I think Moon is the way to go. If nothing more, he should make some serious money.

I do like Watson, but then there is no way to move Dirk=> Deron on Tuesday. I suppose I could get Jefferson instead, but like Deron a lot more.

I think Watson's minutes bear watching also, as it was a near 50-50 split with Ridnour last game. Could have been a product of the game or a trend to return to the unsettled PG rotation Seattle useed earlier.

Today i will welcome Ron Artest on my team. And Al Jefferson too. Chandler and Josh Smith must both go. Smith (and Chandler too) is really not a must trade but he will definitely lose money today and on tuesday because so many attractive options are out there. And tomorrows matchup against San Antonio will not help him staying on most of the teams.
I will skip Deron Williams because i think Ginobili is a must have for his 8-12 starting on thursday.

1. I agree that if we're talking about the King, it requires a two game advantage to make a sell worthwhile. Which is why I also agree that the seven guys you mention are the only options. However, I'm still undecided whether one of these seven even is worth the trouble! I guess I'll see what I feel like on Thursday.

2. None at all. Actually, I'll already cut off the first three letters from his name today and go Cal>Deron, pun intended. ;) Along with Pierce>Boozer BTW. These two upgrades are facilitated by swapping a guaranteed DNP in Watson for the dead-cheap roster filler Brewer. He isn't a great option but the best in his low price range. Which combined with his flex should enable me to swap 9 studs with almost no financial or positional restrictions. Hope that this will compensate for the sub 20 avg I'm fully expecting from him.

No worries Gescom, Dave's correct in that I already made two moves this morning, so my trade column is in good order. Reason I made the moves early was that I'll be out tonight and didn't know whether I'd be able to do them in the early evening. Besides, today's moves were so clear cut that I didn't have the slightest hesitation to pull off either of them. Actually I dropped LBJ/Amare (and not LBJ/Calderon as Dave suspected) - but that's only because I ditched Jose two days ago already! ;) If Calderon still was on my roster, he'd leave today for sure. Amare of course has been a long-planned sell so I'm joining today's consensus move to Duncan.

As for LBJ, I wanted to sell him even before the injury news so the tweaked ankle sealed it. It does sound like he will try play through it, but I don't want find out tomorrow he doesn't. Manu (who will also see a lot of buys from Calderon) will be my Lebron exit. It might backfire point-wise if Lebron goes nuts but I guess it won't. In any case it will harvest a significant money swing. The freed money can then be used to get Lebron from whatever player (except Brewer) next Wednesday. If the King's healthy that is.

Am I crazy to consider Kurt Thomas?
2.16 and FC, can be held for awhile, and I think he will do well next to TD.
Oberto is no comp and I see him starting sooner than later.

Calderon/Turk/Amare to Wade/Duncan and one of KT/Moon/Brewer it will be for me.
Cant really decide on that cheapie though.(any position, 2.86)

Tim Thomas I kind of like too indeed, but hes a bit injury prone. And what if Brand all of a sudden decdies to screw me over and play.
It also seems TT's production is a bit inflated when no Kaman.
And then there is Thornton too.

Blount well that is actually not a bad idea either...

Hmm turnabouts you just made it more complicated :)

Went Calderon / Amare / Lebron -> Parker / Duncan / Dirk.
Really hope that Dirk 4-2 to Lebron makes a difference and that Parker remembers his good old self.

Its my last trade, Amare interests me most right now.

And then when Wade shuts it down, which I read on rotoworld, then I can shut it down too. ugh.

Currently thinking Bosh>Amare too. But no way you're shutting it down, mate! If Wade shuts it down, you only lose one game this week and can move him to anybody on Wednesday. BTW, there has been talk of him shutting it down for months now and he hasn't done it so cheer up! :)

Would have liked to go Bosh --> Gino, but don't have the flex. Amare I planned on getting from another source (Kidd)in a couple of days, so I opted for Maggette and that will leave me the $$ needed to go Odom -->Lebron Wed.

Sorry Gescom, somehow it stuck with me that you're a scotsman, but i researched and it was swish city, a former member of the fight-club, that was from scotland.
By the way i'll marry my french girlfriend this summer, so I will have french family as well. :)

For me today Miller/Al Jef to Iverson/Camby.
I could simply do Miller to Melo, but I dont want Melo. I want Camby.
Aside doing something with Paul later on this week, I have no other plans.

I understand that Miller>Camby seems a very natural move position-wise - but is nobody concerned about the news about Camby a while ago that it could be he'll sit out a game from time to time? Or has this news been revoked and I missed that it has? Just curious.

BTW, of course I'll be selling Miller too (thanks Brad for the great job you've done for my team!) but I'm just not sure whether Camby is the best target.

Odom --> LeBron as planned.

With the "sell" Miller talk I decided to do the same all though I probably took a McRiskier route than the rest of you.

Actually Camby is the guy mentioned by many ... so it may not be riskier.

Funnily enough I'm pretty much set on the McRisky route myself. It's not often you get a triple-double potential go-to guy for less than $7m. So it could well turn out be a McRewardy route. Especially as (unlike the DEN guys) he doesn't face the Spurs twice this week.

I need your help.

I have 4 players who must go this week: Paul, Artest, BMiller, Al Jeff.

All 4 play today so i can wait what will happen and look again tomorrow what to do with my team.

But on the other hand BMiller will lose big today and i really like Camby (@soulman: i think he is worth the risk) but i have not enough money. So i must throw another player in the mix and Al-Jeff is the one i thought of. He was not so good in his last games and the next three games are on the road where he is not so good.

Then there is KG. His schedule is big but is he back to give us around 45 TSNP???

I don't really like Anthony and Iverson. Denver plays 2 games this week against SA which can be really bad games for shooters like AI and Anthony.

So many questions and i think you can really have big problems the next time when you pick the wrong ones this week.

And what about Marion or Kidd tomorrow?

If everybody from our gmd team have a good plan for my team please let me know.

For me it was like I posted in 79 (minus prolly).

Don't think Camby is more a risk than T-Mac, and it has to snow in August to make me buy McGrady. But good luck!

Turnabouts, go with your strongest feeling, today's trading (if you already have LeBron) is just about luck (pointwise)!

I think the Camby news Soulman is talking about is the knee injury from a month ago. I don't seem to recall any thing since and seems like all is fine.
Choosing Tmac or Camby is a risky proposition in either case, I don't think one is any more of a risk than the other.

I'll take a chance that Camby will continue his 7 TSNP/g average over Tmac and stays out of the infirmary.

BTW, Soulman, unless you are making a double trade, I don't think you have the flex for Brad to Tmac. He isn't a G/F this year.

Dave, you're correct that the Camby news I was referring to was from a month ago. But at the time it sounded like it's an injury that will persist to the end of the season and will force Camby to miss the occasional game. You're also correct that I will do a double trade, it's going to be Brad/AlJeff > Marion/McGrady for me. BTW, just a quick summary of the thoughts which lead me to this plan:

- It's correct that except for LBJ (who of course is a must today), trading today is a complete gamble point-wise. However, every player whose schedule ends this week (GSW/MIN/NOH/SAC) will bleed heavily for a few days. Means if you have a narrow window for further moves, bailing today could be the last chance to make these windows. I am in exactly such a financial situation with my further plans, so I basically was/am forced to drop Paul yesterday and Miller/AlJeff today.

- The Nuggets trio seems to look good by the sortables but these numbers do not account for them facing the Spurs twice this week. I agree with turnabouts that particularly Melo and AI as scorers could be in for a rough week. Camby should be affected a little less, but Spurs games always tend to dampen performance regardless of player position. This is why I won't go Nuggets this time.

- McGrady obviously is at least the same injury-risk as Camby, but for 6.5m on a red-hot and Yao-less Rockets team, I gotta take the chance. Besides, saving 2m versus AI (who isn't a stranger to DNPs himself) allows me to do further moves I couldn't do otherwise. Finally, Houston and Cleveland are the only interesting teams with a B2B today/tomorrow. So if McGrady gets hurt in the first two games, I still can go somewhere else without losing a game.

- To balance the injury risk posed by McGrady in my combo swap, I was looking for a durable, under-the-radar stud with a long and terrific schedule. Marion fits that bill perfectly. He isn't the same Marion as in previous years when he was one of the top 3 fanatsy performers but his stats definitely have increased after the trade. After all, he is basically in a contract year, and except for Wade there isn't anybody else in Miami. So I'm confident Marion will get his share of minutes and production and hopefully be a stabilizing factor for my team.
