Either brandon bass or elton brand.
bradon bass has been on existent but on yahoo fantasy his ranking is still higher and owned by a lot more than elton.
elton has good games (15 and 10), and disappears some times which is acceptable since he was just a pick up player when my other players got injured, but with Dirk coming back he might just be benched.
who would you pic?

Don't let the ranks fool you; Omer Asik was ranked 200 last time I saw, which is a joke.
Brand hasn't played in a couple of games; and Bass is pretty useless at this point in terms of fantasy.
I don't it'll matter who you drop to be honest. I guess the only slight upside Bass has right now is that he's actually playing while Brand isn't.
Try and find a replacement for them both.

Who would be a big man that would be a diamond in the rough?

Who's available? List some of the PF/C that are available in your league and I can let you know.
Or even a screen shot of the available ones would be cool (since it'll probably get annoying typing up all the names).

drop brand, for sure....but i'm sure u can find some1 better than tiago splitter in ur free agent pool.
-
yea, i already dropped brand for tiago, but there isn't much bigmen left thats putting up better numbers than tiago right now, or that i know of
i was thinking of picking up davis in a month or something, but im going to list the injured bigmen just for the heck of it.
im lacking in rebounds and blocks, its really killing me, but i usually win on everything else, i mean i was thinking in specializing in one category, but theres no point since all my guards and SFs do good, so theres really no point of having more of them, theyll just end up sitting on a bench, i just need a bigman that'll contribute to my stats.
heres a list of my players just to give you an idea of what kind of roster i have:
Kevin Durant
Al Horford
Jamal Crawford
Lou Williams
Jrue Holiday
Corey Brewer
Chris Bosh
Luke Ridnour
Micheal Conley
Jarrett Jack
Tiago Splitter
Brandon Bass
Jarded Dudley
Joe Johnson
heres the first and second page of the "PF" and "C" and ill list the ones that were cut off:
PF:
(1st page) Al Harrington, (2nd Page) Charlie Villanueva, John Henson, (3rd Page) Jeff Green, Andray Blatche
C: (1st Page) Samuel Dalembert, (2nd Page) Jonas Valanciunas, (3rd Page) Tyler Zeller

That crop is really thin.
But I'd suggest keeping an eye on Byron Mullens and Amir Johnson (since both Bargnani & JV are hurt, Ed Davis & AJ will get more minutes).

yea its because we added a "14th" spot to just make it interesting, and one of my homies only has 3 or 4 guards, lol so he has a surplus of bigmen.
mullens has been injured, ill look into AJ, but i wanna see if bass picks it up ill wait a couple more games and see
thanks homie, your input is much appreciated

no problem. thanks for the heads up on Mullens; didn't get to the injury reports much last night and just saw his stats.

Mullens sucks anyways, he alternates good and bad games and is a fg% killer. I'd wait for glen davis to return and add him, probably in about 4 weeks.

I'd still rather have Mullens then Bass or Brand at this point for the other stats he can fill up in; then drop him later for when Davis does return.
In any case since he'll probably be out for a while, keep an eye on Biyombo. He's generally only good for blocks; he'll probably get some more minutes with Mullens out so he may end up helping w/rebounds. Doesn't do much else but it seems you're good in the other categories so it probably won't matter much in that case.

should i just drop bass right now and shelve big baby? (glen davis)
i did that last year with brook lopez and that wasnt good for me at all..

why would u want mullens? he's out a month and is barely even ownable when healthy...i'll take anyone mentioned in this thread over mullens at this point.

only if ur a lock to make playoffs

i'd take a look at okafor...probably drop bass for him, as he's been playing well and getting the minutes lately.

if he was healthy, then I wouldn't have a problem taking him over Brand/Bass at this point. he would have been a better option if he remained healthy over the two. obviously, at this point he isn't worth it because he isn't even playing (which is what the second part of my previous post referred to).

i'd take a look at okafor...probably drop bass for him, as he's been playing well and getting the minutes lately.
i took a chance with okafor last year, with him basically being the main C, he was overly inconsistent, which is why i dont want to pick him up.
ended up with kaman taking up all his minutes. im very hesitant to pick him up, especially with nene on the team, im not sure how deep the wizards front court is.
but i mean shit there isnt enough minutes between okafor and nene, unless their void of a back up C and PF.
im in dire need of BLOCKS number one and rebounds.
those are the two categories i lose every round. i want to to beat these fuckers that are my homeboys. its funny, the dude with the least basketball knowledge wins every year. ridiculous.

that's not too bad; similar to a regular league.
pick him up for now, and you can always drop him later on if his production slows down.
at this point, he's much better than Bass and Brand.

yea, but right now, okafor is getting the nod over all the other bigs in washington. not saying it's gunna continue, but right now, he is by far your best resource for blocks and rebounds. ride him out until the coach stops giving him minutes. he's averaging 27 minutes in the past 6 games and is pretty much guaranteed to give you blocks+rebounds when he gets over 20. if you had better options, i'd tell u. but brand and bass are pretty useless in 12-team leagues, and every1 else on ur wire is weaksauce. someone else will emerge sooner or later, but right now, ride okafor.

mullens definitely gives u some great counting stats....the guy can put up lines with the best of 'em.....but the fact of the matter is, he's a black hole. meaning, his counting stats don't make up for the fact that he can single-handedly destroy your fg%. add to the fact that he gives u a bad game for every good one, and he is barely ownable. but this is all moot, considering he's injured. on a side note, i owned mullens up until about 3 weeks ago, and i've been doing a lot better without him, so i'm speakin from personal experience. dude is a headache and until he can string together a couple weeks worth of solid play, i'm not messing with him again.
btw, how come u never play in the dubcc.com league anymore?
-
Is Chauncey worth holding on for? I need the 3 pointers, assists and steals where he contributes regularly...but he's injury prone. It's a deep league with 14 players, so the waiver players aren't anything special.

that's true; I guess if you can find some way to balance out the FG% with other players it may be worth it.
I haven't had him on my team so can't say much from personal experience.
I got lazy to register; and then got busy as well.
I'm probably going to retire from fantasy sports this year or next; I don't have the same drive I use to. Even my teams this year have been sub-par and I don't care as much as I used to.

Nobody special...Delfino, L. Stephenson, Fredette, C. Lee
Turkoglu should return soon, I wonder what his role will be with the magic.
-
Had to drop Chauncy, today was the 2 weeks that he was suppose to miss but now Del Negro said he has no timeframe. So I picked Turkoglu, he will play today and Magic are in need of a scorer, especially since Davis is out. We'll see how it turns out.
-
can you get a screenshot of other available players?

That's really thin.
If you're looking for a guard specifically, keep an eye on Garrett Temple:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4682/gamelog;_ylt=AsiQgcSkvWFIXJShayp6c5SkvLYF
Another guy to keep an eye on is Ed Davis (nothing special; but in a deep league, he can help w/the little things; especially w/ Bargnani & JV out, he'll get the minutes & opportunity). He hasn't done anything grand in the past few games, but it hasn't been terrible either.
-
I'll keep an eye out, thanks.

on point with ed davis....keep turk and see if he can contribute. if not, ed davis might be a good ad with that thin wire. bargs is as good as gone and davis is torontos future at the 4.
-
Good as gone injury wise or you predict they'll trade him?
Been watching Davis for a while now. Thinking of dropping Scola and grabbing Davis. But Scola has so much reserve, he's been really shitty so far. Don't know if he'll pick it up eventually...
Or maybe drop S.Hawes for Davis? Once Bynum (if he) returns...he's quite poor defensive wise as it is (blocks and shots). Then I also have Isiah Thomas, he's been picking it up lately and I need the 3s and assists...don't know if I should drop him.
So basically would you drop Scola or Hawes for E.Davis and if so, which one? Just saw that Barnagni will get traded so E.Davis should have a bright future.
-
Scola with a great 1st quarter today...fuck me
-
thats tough...hawes is probably ur safest drop, tho
-

Yeah already done. Davis for Hawes. Wish me luck 8)

I'm thinking of trading for Harden; I get Harden, the other side gets I.Thomas+ Calderon or Conley.
Statistics tell me it's better to trade Conley but Calderon is involved heavily in trade rumors, where he will most likely play second fiddle or Lowry could take his spot again, thus his production falling off again.
I don't know who the hell to pick.

of course trade calderon, if u can even pull that deal off...did the other person already agree, or u just proposing this hoping he accepts?
between calderon and conley, the easy choice to trade is calderon, though

But Conley has weaker %FG than Calderon and so does Harden, which means my shot percentage will drop and I'm already not so good at it. Both Conley and Harden have lots of turnovers too.
But yeah you're probably right, Conley is most likely a more safe choice. Hoping he accepts, he's in need of assists.
-
What if I offer Calderon/Thomas for Wade; is that more realistic?
-
i doubt anyone who has harden right now is gunna wanna get rid of him.....but u never know, he may really need the assists.
yea, wade is more realistic, but again, people put a lot of name value on wade, so it may also be a long-shot.
as for conley vs calderon...calderon will most likely either be traded or replaced as a starter by kyle lowry pretty soon. conley is a 44% fg shooter on his career, so u know his percentage is likely to rise. he also gets u elite steals, which makes him wayyy more valuable than calderon, who's fg% isnt much better to begin with. so yea, conley is obviously much better, even if calderon doesnt lose his starting gig, which he most likely will.
-
I didn't propose the trade in the end. Decided to stick with my guns.
Don't know about Calderon though. He's always getting shitted on and is always in fear of losing his starting gig but he keeps coming back and back. Dude is a warrior. And Toronto coach seems to really be keen on whoever plays best. He already said Davis and Johnson will have the starting gig over Barnagni and Valocucinias (or however you spell his name). It will be interesting to see if they trade him, maybe to Indiana?
-
they didn't trade a loterry pick to sit Lowry on the bench.. He's too good for that
Calderon is good too, but he's not in their future plans, so it wouldnt really make sense to keep him starting all year. Even with the starting gig, Conley is still better.

Who do you guys think it's better to pick off the waiver: B.Mullens, C.Landry or J. Valanciunas? What about Billups?
-
if elano was an italian gangster, i can tell hes one of the guys that always gets punked by all the made men.

im positive hes going to find this nethertheless so its fine lol

Jeff Green. With all the stuff that happened with the Celtics injuries...is he worth picking up now
-

depends who ur droppin for him
-
Ed Davis: don't know what his situation will be like in Memphis and his ft% is weak. Or I.Thomas: already have Calderon, Conley, Felton and Rubio.
-
if isaiah thomas is on ur ww, i'd run and grab him, regardless of whether or not u have too many pgs....his value is a lot higher than jeff green or ed davis, so u might as well grab him and try to flip one of ur point guards for a serviceable big.
-
I already have Thomas. I'm saying I'm thinking of dropping him because I have so many plays. But I'm leaning more for E.Davis.
I see A.Harrington and Billups are about to return. Wonder how they'll do.
