O'Brien not showing any love or pt for Hibbert in spite of him outplaying Foster/Jones combined in half the playing time. Have the cash to go Hibbert to Lopez tomorrow. Pretty good upgrade. Only move planned.

Welcome aboard to all of you. Sorry, Ive not been able to post a welcome earlier. Today I had to "catch up" at work because yesterday I was sidetracked with the draft. I am the rookie GMD manager so we will all learn together. I am counting on all of you to let me know where we go from here. My private email is above and in the past a lot of teams have taken their discussion offline. I respect and welcome your private comments there and posted my email there because that is how I've seen teams operate in the past. I think that part of the "value" of GMD has been to encourage further discussion on the web site to help new players learn how to play this game better. So Phatsow (re post#4) where we go from here is we post our thoughts about how we are managing our teams in this thread so we can learn and bounce ideas off each other about how we are managing our teams.... I feel very blessed to have Dave R and Guru on our team; they have been two of the BEST for a very long time. Gmoney and I have have been playing quite a while as well. I play very similar to G; there are times during the season that I spend a lot of time playing fantasy hoops and there are times during the season I spend very little time playing. I have four kids between 15 and 9 and they are REAL life and this is a hobby! Don't take this too seriously! Contribute what you can. Those of you that I do not know, I am am looking forward to getting to know you this season and this team is as much yours as it is mine. PLEASE have fun playing!

money4later,
You are looking like just what I hoped for in the number 4 pick!!! GREAT discussion questions! Wait... opps... I picked you fifth. And please Fatsow take no offense.
Strategy wise, I think how long you lock up Lebron depends on how trade wealthy you are. Locking in players for long periods of time helps you to conserve trades. By the end of the season you have to hold everyone on your roster for an average of 17 days. If you lock in Lebron early it could help you have more trades to take advantage of short term schedule density or short term money gainers.

Money4later, I'm making the Durant => LBJ move tomorrow. No matter what, I'll want him 12/2. So unless you have another in to him in a week, why grab him tomorrow. I'm willing to take 3 Lebron games over 4 of just about anyone else and save the trade.
$ wise, he's just shed some coin. He'll get a bump tomorrow, lose some or all of it back by 12/2. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get some buys Tuesday or even Monday next week. But Lebron is one of those guys you don't worry to much about the money, until his schedule really goes bad.
Besides, Rondo and Wade's schedules are only 10 days long, and I'd bet you'll be moving either for Lebron in a week anyway.
Maybe you can change your team name to aTrade4later ;)

Question - after getting King James, is it better to get a cheapie (under 3 mil) or get the best for the 6.6 mil I have to spend? It can be at any position. I know RV should be top priority...

Just back from hoops. It looks like it was quite the night with some interesting action. On my GMD team, I gambled on buying Monta Ellis for 5 games instead of LBJ for 3 and so far so good.
On a couple other teams I have Durant and I purposely held him for LBJ. I agree with Dave R 100 percent that his 3 games should be close to 4 from just about anyone else and you save a trade.
Not sure if anyone else has Westbrook but that is my only trade until later in the week. With no money in the bank I am completely at a loss for what to do with him. With my one other planned move it can be anyone under $5 mil and I have 100% flexibility so that isn't an issue. I also don't need money for moves next week because I will make two moves when it is time to add LBJ.

I am going to clarify an earlier statement about Durant --> LBJ. Today I found a way to add Monta Ellis and only miss 3 LBJ games. I am looking at Ellis as a long term hold so for those with Durant, If you could find a cheaper player to add this week with 4 games, you may make money on that player and 4 @ 35-37 pts in stats would come close close to LBJ for 3 @ 50. Of course the only way to justify that is by looking at your roster and saying the following week you have a way into LBJ via Dirk or most likely two other players. One would become LBJ and one would be a cheapie. If you don't see an easy way to LBJ then next week then Durant to LBJ for sure.
EX: On one of my other teams, I am buying Ellis from Durant and carrying 3.5+ mil through the week hoping Ellis can match LBJ 4 to 3. That helps cover a guard spot and I have M Gasol and Dirk to move next week as my way to LBJ.

Yeah, when I played this game two years ago, I got WAY too involved with it and quit because it was driving me crazy. I don't have as much of a life as having four kids but I'm trying to take it easier. Think I've got a much healthier attitude about it now. (Though my CDR hold was pretty scary! Worked out in the end). I'm trying to be patient to a fault and its tended to be the right call (except for Corey Brewer UGH!). I got Lebron two weeks ago intending on holding him through this gap and I believe its paying off. Extra trades let you dump guys like Hibbert early when you have to.

G, I'm not in love with a Dirk to LBJ move. That move would ( should ) be done 12/6, meaning you'll miss any early gains on Lebron as 12/2 is the initial buy date.
Unless you want to throw away a Dirk game, something I'm not about to do.
If you go that route, you might make money on someone now, but miss it with Lebron on the other end.

Will be moving Durant to LBJ today, and then must figure out what to do with Hibbert.
The two most likely options are Louis Williams or Joakim Noah. I'd move to Williams today, but wait until tomorrow for Noah.
I'm leaning toward Noah, as he has a lower ownership base and a slightly higher TSNP/G average. It does mean I'll take today's price hit on Hibbert, though.
Another possibility is Curry, although it's hard to trust anyone on GS, and I have enough cash to upgrade.
This leaves me with 3 trades, and no one else that must be moved this week - although Jason Thompson is getting worrisome. Hopefully, home games vs. the Knicks and Nets are just what the Dr. ordered.

Durant > Lebron is done. At this second, I have Westbrook to Nene, but it only leaves me with 170k in the bank. Looked at some other choices:
Gooden - solid, but not sure when Damp is coming back.
Ilyasova - solid and cheap but Redd is back. How much with Ily's minutes be cut?
Morrow - bad enough I have one Nelsonite (Curry), Not sure I could stomach another.
R Gay - differential???
Noah - 2 in 7, then his sched gets better. Hmmm...

Guru, I think Williams has saturated and will start to see sells later this week. Noah will obviously get bought on Monday so getting in early may not be bad.
$4ltr, I would agree with your evaluation of Gooden Ilyasova and Morrow who most likely are all getting big minutes because of injuries and the return of Dampier, Luc, 1/2 the GSW team could hurt the long term stability. Gay has been pretty impressive if you can hold thru two 3 game weeks when lots of teams have 4 games during that time. Noah should probably be in the mix somehow.

Hello gentlemen, I'm proud to be in such esteemed company.
Unfortunately, my team is a bit of a wreck at the moment. Two weeks ago, I got hit by the injury bug, which required the burning of trades that were being reserved for, well ... right now. Without the luxury of those trades, I'm stuck with 3 OKC guys, Hibbert and Toney Douglas. Given that Douglas is at the minimum, and that he at least broke double figures in garbage time last night, it seems like I'll have to carry him through this week.
I will also be making the Durant ---> LBJ move today and am intrigued by an early switch into Noah, as suggested by Guru. Being a Buck fan in Milwaukee (and TSN owner of Ersan Ilyasova), I can tell you that I do not think the return of Redd or Luc Richard is going to have that great of an impact on his minutes. Ilyasova is emerging is the second best player on the active roster with Bogut out, is a capable shooter who is getting a lot of open looks created by Brandon Jennings, and who gets hustle stats due to his incredible work rate. Skiles loves him, too; thus, I expect that he will play as many minutes as his 22 year old body and personal foul situation will allow.
Sorry that my roster isn't set up for great point production this first period. I will research and read this thread careful in an effort to remedy that.

I'm tyring to figure a way to get Ellis on my team. I had planned on Bargnani/Hughes=> Ellis/Morrow. I'm really sick of Bargs, and can't afford a straight Bargs=> Ellis.
But Hughes last night is making me wonder.....

As players I rank them Ariza, Curry, Morrow. Advantages to each player so it depends on how your team is. Ariza has higher average an longer hold but fewer games short term. I think Curry will outscore Morrow but he is cheaper with flex.

Okay, there's a note on Rotoworld that Thompson missed practice today. He's probable for Sun but I'm blowing him out early. Going to Noah today and losing the possible game. Extra money probably isn't worth a decent Thompson game but I'm not gonna take the chance. Gasol to Ariza on Tues. Good luck all.

Jennings will be sold by a few but he also has the capacity to hurt the sellers. Interesting to check in and see GSW's are now playing 10 players. The results look much different than a few days ago when they only played 6.
I need a cheap player and am very interested to see what R. Lopez brings in the next game. If he plays 20+ minutes and/or puts up 20 pts again he could be my long term cheapie I need.

Bargnani put up a nice game and is starting a 4 in 5 on Tuesday. Gasol put up another monster and with two more games early next week, I am not sure I want to miss his games. Especially since he will go well into a variety of options that I wouldn't want now but will then. So, the real question will be how much do i want to force Lebron. Dirk to Lebron is the best fit. Missing 3 Lebron didn't hurt this week but not sure how long I want to push my luck. I chose Nene over Noah from Jennings so also thinking I may pass on Noah since his schedule is less than 2 weeks which I probably need more long term holds now than in and out moves. Christmas isn't that far away now and trades will be valuable then.

Done trading for the week as next week may be a busy one so I will need that one trade left. I have pretty much decided to wait on adding Lebron until after Dirk plays his b2b on Saturday. While it will be scary to watch, 3 Dirk seems like a better option than 2 James.

KI, I have a team like yours with Thompson and Jennings but only one trade left. I chose to hold Thompson since I think today will be his only hit and he may make money back next week. I think Jennings could lose 100+ today,tomorrow, and Wed. Given your RV total, you may want to move Jennings today since no performance this side of a Jennings 3D will be worth the 300 -400k RV hit between now and then.

My RV sucks this week. Having Hughes and Jennings and 1 trade left is frustrating. Jennings plays tonight, so I might as well keep him. Can't find a good move from Hughes, so I'll take the bath on that one too. At least his sched this week is ok...

I used my 2 trades today to pick up some rv. I traded Lebron/Jennings for Ellis/Noah. Should have done it yesterday. I will have enough cash to get me out of my deadend cheapie (Dudley) to either Evans/Ariza/Thompson on Wednesday. If Labron is healthy I will have a great back in from Bosh on the 6th. Any comments welcomed.

Not happy about this Jennings thing, was planning hold 'til 2nd refresh.
Now I'm concerned...nobody really to match up TSNP potential straight up.
I Like Deng and obviously Noah goes up tonight.
Jennings/Gasol -> Deng/Noah...I think that costs TSNP but saves plenty RV

Jennings is a dead man. He might produce but he'll do nothing but lose RV for the next week +. If Noah plays well, he'll be the money-melon for the next two weeks. Ellis is keepable for a couple of weeks. I've gotta grab him tonight from Gasol or I miss my window. Hated trading Thompson early and I paid for it, but economic realities constantly stare you in the face in this game. Deng's a decent value but Ariza is a much better one...

**Intruder** 78> Glenn, with the news of Barbosa being out for a month I would consider keeping Dudley. There are worse things than having a 500k placeholder who actually plays. The Suns have a pretty great schedule through x-mas. It also allows you to use your saved trades a little more aggressively.

Hey Money,
Why not see how Hughes does tonight, trading him to Evans now loses a game. If Hughes does well, I'd hold him another 2 games. A big game might generate some buys and he does have a 4 game week, there are some who trade based on weekly schedules.
I would imagine Evans would do better money wise, although his schedule still isn't quite there yet.
I just hate giving up games

Hughes is the wild card in that plan, depending on how he does tonight.
As for Curry, I'm hoping his minutes were limited last night so he could play more tonight.
The Bosh/Bargnani derailment definitely needs to be discussed. Probably look at Boozer/Deron after game on 12/8 or sooner?
Thanks again for all the input.

Leaning to Jennings=>Ariza today. Hate to give up a game this week, but it still might come close to breaking even (although I fully expect Ariza to suffer HBS tonight). Even after taking two hits in price on Jennings, his schedule outlook suggests that there is no imminent reversal, even with respectable performance.
Hughes will go later in the week, possibly to Thompson on 12/5.
Would like to bank my other two trades this week, but the way things have been going, that seems unlikely. Could move Bosh=>Boozer if Bosh falters, although it feels like Boozer is about due for another injury.

Hoping to reverse my embarrassing performance and remove the scourge of Toney Douglas (which is akin to invalidity). In addition to Douglas, I have Jennings, Gasol and Sefolosha (don't ask).
One of them will be turned into Ariza. Is it too late for me to jump on CDR with his high ownership %? My concern is that coaching change may have a negative effect of him (and, relatedly, a positive one on Lopez, as Kiki looks to the post for more production).
It's too bad that Hickson's minutes have declined, as the CLE schedule is excellent. Anyone intrigued by Andy Varejao?
Others I'm considering:
Thompson & Tyreke
Corey Brewer
Will Bynum

Im sorry guys..... I feel like I let you all down last night.... I'm really TICKED off today... I got in at 10:30 again from my 10 year old son's real life basketball... by the time I got them to bed it was 10 till 11... sat down I knew I was pushing it to get my trades in... Sold Jennings at 10:59pm, it was not 15 seconds later that I hit the buy Brewer button and the FRIGGIN TSN system had everyone locked... They old program with the buy and sell being together THAT would not have happened... I shot them an email... they sent back...
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately once the roster lock takes place there is nothing we can do to reverse a trade or place other players onto a user's team. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause

Interestingly, that frees up more than $3m in cash, which opens up a much bigger universe of possible replacements for Hughes this week. I had been leaning toward Jason Thompson, but I'm no longer that constrained. But no need to pin that down today.

Replacing Bosh, Ersan and Hughes with Boozer, Nene, Evans seems like a nice team tho it shows you only have 1 trade. Do you already do that this am before stats were run? That would leave you with 1 trade and Bargnani as your guy to move on 12/6 or hold if something comes up right?

130 - I actually have 3 trades before the Bosh move. It showed 1 this morning because I was messing around with some options. I would actually pick up Nene from Ilyasova right now, then move Hughes to Evans after tomorrow's games. That would leave me tradeless and holding Bargnani for his B2B on the 8th and 9th.

When you put it that way, Ariza is your guy. I would just work in Tyreke and Thompson before I worked him in. Plus there are two $4mil guys that are definitely on my watch list. Both are risky so they're far from locks, but they're on the radar (and intentionally not being named here). I'd also rather have Westbrook than Ariza.
All I was saying is that Ariza is nowhere near the projected must-have status that Lebron is. Thusfar (which doesn't mean I won't at some point), I have not tried to work Ariza into a single rotation scheme for the coming weeks.

I think James is the only real MUST have guy this year. Last year, Paul, Wade and Howard were all in that category. SO at least for this year when we are talking about "must have guys" it is James and then everyone else.
I also was posting based on the idea that everyone has or will have Evans already.
Our rosters dictate that we have to carry some mid to low level guus. Thompson and Ariza are close but given the flex of Ariza for G/F and the more consistent play/schedule, I would take Ariza in heartbeat. Players 3 and 4 are two "risky" unmentioned players. I guess I would feel pretty comforatble with Ariza based on that.

He'll gain a little on this 4 in 5 and then lose for the 1 in 5. If you buy now, you'll actually lose a little short-term RV. But he's a great long-term hold and I personally don't care about money with him. He's a great value and one of the 10 guys I definitely want on my roster right now. I'm holding through the losses. Few players as good as him for the price.

Just started studying the GMD standings a bit tonight.... the good news is We have the fewest Anthony Morrows in the league.... the bad news is we have the most Larry Hughes and Corey Brewers... We have a firm hold on second place.... we would be close if I had not DNPed the other night... ALL in All I think we are off to a very nice start!!
Thanks Guru for that roster summary macro... seeing what I have side by side I think will save me bunch of time.... I start moving players and I usually get to a spot that what works on one team is impossible on another and then I forget what I did where... that should help!

ki - your "DNP" actually hd no impact on our team results, since the two lowest scoring teams in each period are excluded. Even if your points that night we included, I think you would still be in the bottom 2, so your goof really had no impact our our team results.
Don't know if that makes you feel better or not...

Leaning toward Hughes=>Brook Lopez today. (Guess I should have done that yesterday, but was still uncertain about whether to get Lopez or Jason Thompson).
Moving today gets me only one Lopez game in the next 3 days vs. 2 Hughes games, but that might be a wash (depending on which Hughes shows up for the two games), and will certainly be a price winner.

hey team - would it be better to hold Bargs or Hughes through the refresh? I would go Hughes to either Dunleavy or J Thompson right now, or Bargs to Gasol after tonight's game. I'm afraid Bargs will lose 200-250k the next couple of days...

I'm thinking it was probably a good idea to stay away from Oden after reading in the afternoon that he was limited in practise with a sprained ankle.
Wonder if that contributed to the knee thing.

Unfortunately I can't predict player results. Thompson was the guy I wanted and both played yesterday. Based on averages I was looking at -13 for about 200K but Thompson had Pho so I was hoping for a little better performance. I don't trade early very often and my RV has taken a hit lately because of it. Oh well.

Same here. Not sure he's essential, and have no way into him that makes sense, barring a complete tanking of one of my other players.
And Money, seeing as how you are out of trades, I suppose you mean Wednesday, it may be a tad to late for him by then. +90 and +100 already, with I'm sure two more big gains tonight and tomorrow. I'm not sure I'd buy in.

162.....
Actually, your comment has made me think about how to manage my GMD team this week..... Unfortunately for our GMD team, I am the ONE guy that I cannot be dropped during the waiver period on wednesday, in spite of my poor performance.
The only player who needs to go for money purposes is Larry Hughes. In spite of the fact that he plays a back to back, his points are gonna be irrelevant so I trade him to a person whose schedule STARTS being good on Wednesday... And I think that person is probably Trevor Ariza or Kevin Love?? So now I have to figure out when? I am guessing Ariza could still loose today and Hughes could actually be up tonight so if its Ariva I probably do it tomorrow.... If I want Love, then moneywise that move is probably best today. I think it is probably best for me to hold the rest of my trades thru wednesday. That will let me start the next trading period with a strong schedule.

KI, what schedule are you looking at, Hughes plays tonight, then his schedule goes in the toilet. So seeing as how you are targeting Love or Ariza, I wouldn't do it until tomorrow. But you're right, he needs to go.
Pick one, IMO. Love should gain again tonight, but I don't think he's a poor choice, getting him tomorrow. Ariza is cheaper, G/F.
If I read your post tight, if you want Love you intend to sacrifice the Hughes game. I don't like to do that, but, who knows, he may pull a disappearing act again. SO, I guess it's up to you.

ki[92] - depends on whether you are managing your team "for real", or simply for GMD. If the latter, then you should move Hughes for Love now. The points are irrelevant to our GMD team, and the price swing will be favorable.

M4L,
$0.02 from the guy bringing up the rear on this team.... I like Gasol of you options if your have given me (assuming you have the cash).
1 Gasol... 2 Love.... 3. Dunleavy
On my radar right now is (in no particular order!) Mo Williams (Will never be a big night... but given his schedule this month he is gonna score a lot of points!), Gasol and Kobe(schedule heating up for Christmas), and a cheapie -- J Willy in ORLANDO (filling in for Jameer Nelson... putting up great numbers, good schedule but no love????)
Also interested in what people are doing with Tyreke Evans during his 1 game in 5 days next week? Although he is not on my GMD team... I think I'm gonna hold him on the teams that I own him on.

Hold, hold, hold on Tyreke. I'm buying into Carl Landry for my cheapie. His minutes have been consistent and his production is 30+ over the past two weeks. He's got the Moses Malone schedule starting Wed. Gasol and Love are fine buys as well.

Plans are to move Ellis/Morrow/Noah to Durant/Camby/someone.
I have enough cash to be able to move either Noah or Ellis to Durant now. Obviously, both Noah and Ellis play on Friday and Saturday, while Durant plays only on Friday. So, from a strict game count, I'm better off by waiting until Sunday to get Durant.
However, how do you suppose two Ellis games (@Chi, @Det) or two Noah games (GSW, Bos) will compare to one Durant game (@Mem). My thinking is that 2 Ellis games should outpoint one Durant game - but I'm not as sure about Noah. He should be fine vs. GSW, but the Boston game may not be as good.
Further, I'm not sure what the relative price movements will be for each over the next three days. Durant should certainly go up starting today, while Ellis and Noah will probably start leaking now.
So - assuming that Noah is a better drop than Ellis, would you be inclined to move Noah=>Durant today? I'm thinking that even if the point differential is unfavorable, it might be worth the price differential.
