    Wow this is true.
    I'm trying to pry Lowry away from a guy on my league... I made three different trades, hopefully he will go for one of them.

    Lowry for Elton Brand
    Lowry for Carl Landry
    Lowry for Marvin Williams

    I hope I can get it... dude DID pick up Allen Iverson from free agency.... :confused:

    The thing is he needed a big man and I desperately needed a 2nd PG. He was never going to start him because he had 2 others ahead of him so he just basically gave him to me knowing he can put good numbers. League manager was about to veto it too. I had to let him know he was willingly giving him and no one was taking advantage of anyone.

    I was also able to pick up Jamal Crawford and AK47 off wavers. I have a pretty good team now I think.

    AK47 is killing it right now. Glad I picked him up in one of my leagues.

    So this is my current line up:

    Kyle Lowry
    Nicolas Batum
    Russell Westbrook
    Dario Gallinari
    Chris Bosh
    Andrew Bogut
    Ray Allen
    Ersan Ilyasova
    Kevin Martin
    Al Horford
    Luol Deng
    James Harden

    Spencer Hawes
    Elton Brand

    I dropped Hawes for Nikola Vucevic and Brand for Mike Dunleavy. Now, I figured I could just ride those guys until they stop performing, then go back to the waver wire. I'm OK with that.

    My question is with Andrew Bogut. For the next month or so, his minutes are limited to 20. He's not playing back-to-backs. Do I hold on to him in hopes that he'll perform next month, or drop him and work the waiver wire?

    Sorry, but anyone who claims the #1 rated fantasy player is his 3rd best PG does not play in a league worth talking about. It is a joke.

    My team

    B Jennings
    Lou Williams
    G Vasquez

    D Wade
    M Thornton

    D Granger
    T Evans

    L Scola
    L Aldridge
    R Anderson

    T Chandler
    A Varejao
    A Bargnani

    Right now Granger injury is tough, but I am 1 in my league.

    I think I need more blocks and FG%

    Who should be on the trading block?

    And if all are playing which 3 would you sit, if Granger is healthy?

    Kevin Love is currently injured.
    I don't know about Anthony Davis but Pierce will get you about 20 fantasy points a game. Both Dragic and K. Walker are playing good so that's a wash.

    I would do that trade, especially not knowing the time table for Kevin Love Return.

    Guys i really need your advice on this one:

    I've been offered Deandre Jordan or Derrick Favours for Andrew Bynum.
    I'm thinking of letting go of Bynum since the injury just sounds really bad. Would you all do this trade?

    I would do that.
    Either player, although I'd probably go with Deandrea Jordan if I had the choice.

    Reason being is that if Bynum needs additional surgery then he will be out fo the whole season. Might as well sell him now, and hopefully you get something back.

    So John Wall and Dirk Nowitzki has been injured the whole season.
    They were both dropped and on the free agency list.

    Nene just came back from an injury for my team.
    I felt I should jump on Dirk before someone else does.
    His timeline is mid December. I think it's worth the risk.
