Just a strategic question, should I keep a player I expect to get better later or not. I'm more interested in winning the league, so I'm probably gonna lose him.

That's the toughest question in this game.. The balance between potential and achievement.

This is my first time playing fantasy basketball (or fantasy sports in general), so don't really have any experience about strategies in this game, but I'd say if you really think a player can improve for some reason within one or two weeks I'd say stick with him. Otherwise you should seriously take his current achievements into consideration.

Sometimes, well most of the time it's just a coin toss really.

My team is performing like shit now. Loss of Zach is a huge difference.

Still early at this stage. I think your team is better than mine.. This will be one tough matchup for me.

I really hope Wade will give me some hand this week..
 
I missed setting up my lineup and I think I lost a couple of categories because of that.

Am I being viewed as a threat now? :D


Or was that just a big misunderstanding? :nervous:

It wasn't. Your team is one of the best in my opinion..

I got lucky probably that I got away with a win missing my top player in Wade last week.

Will be tough to repeat that feat against RDC though..
 
Chance would have it that I seem to have quite a few less games than Armchair this week, I'm getting creamed. It comes to 40 to 49 games, and that's Stuckey out injured for him. Gonna be near impossible to win if you're opponent has 23% more games than you on their side!

I'm reluctant to drop Jason Kidd because he's still getting me steals, but now he's injured, who knows at his age and it being a back injury.

Nanderson already grabbed Randolph, but that's a long time to eat the stats till he's back, and who knows how long it might take him to get back to his best.
 
Nanderson doesn't need Randolph's contribution right now.. His team is really strong that I don't think anybody can beat him, even with injured Randolph on his team.

And with Wade and Bargnani both injured, I don't really stand a chance in my matchup against him.
 
I'm looking to trade Blake Griffin, probably for 2 players, I can add another as well to make a proper trade.

I'm gonna need rebounds back, but I don't care about points, I want someone with steals, 3's or blocks to go with rebounding. And players without a lot of turnovers.
 
Danny made me an offer that fits better than anything I could come up with between us, Mr. Critic, for the type of stats I'm after.

We're just waiting for the commissioner to approve it, come on David Stern, don't treat me like the Hornets.

The trade is Blake Griffin for Tyson Chandler and Elton Brand.
 
I'd have had to ask for 3 player from you to get as many of the right stats, and taken too many points in the process, and I'm sure you would have said no.
 
I'm so glad that Steve Nash is playing well again, he's been on fire, actually, he's ranked 16 in stats in the last two weeks.

For January he's shooting 64% from the field and 50% from 3, 11.1 assists and 18.1 points!

Yeah that trade ain't gonna work. I need more picks to be traded.

Just Kidding
 
It would be better for me if I didn't have to cut anyone! I'm actually not going to gain anything on steals because I have to drop Johnson, and it's only a slight increase in rebounding between Brand + Chandler and Griffin + Johnson.

I'm not going to beat anyone in points, so there's no point in me having one of the best scorers. I looked over all the active teams, though, and couldn't come up with anything that made more sense.
 
Yeah, when I read your post, I knew Chandler and Brand will be a perfect fit for you.. I also thought it would be seen as a fair deal for most people (even neutrals).. What I was still trying to figure out is if the deal is in fact a good one for me or not.

In the end I concluded that it's a risky deal for me, but I decided to take the risk..

I know I'm gonna regret this decision later though..

By the way, why is the deal still "pending"?
 
Thats three straight losses for me. I am willing to trade anyone except Durant. And I am desperate to trade. Lets go people, propose me a couple of them.

Hold on, how were you offered Jordan when I have him and I did not propose any trade to you?

I was just joking, that's who was traded from the Clips for Chris Paul.

I just wanted to switch who I'm dropping, but now I'm not sure I should make the trade. And I can't think right now, so it will have to wait!
 
What happened is that I wanted to drop a different player, and then when I was looking around i noticed that Nanderson had two players who would work for me better. But he hasn't written me back. So it looks like you won't get the Lakers treatment. I'll resubmit the trade tomorrow if you're still interested and Nanderson is still awol.

RDCR07, I'd like Gortat and/or Jordan, anyone you'd like?

I'm willing to entertain offer for Nash, whose leading the league in assists.
 
It's still early.. I lost the first day in almost all matchups. Besides, I'm playing (and have been for while now) without Wade and Bargnani (that sucks! :( ). I hope they are back soon, because without them I don't think I can beat you..
 
Who has Rubio? I am willing to trade Calderon. Lets try and make like a 2-3 person trade.

I'm clawing back in a few categories, but I don't think I'm gonna make it! I actually only lost 4 3's, 40 pts, 18 re, 16 ast, 2 st, 1 blk and 8 to's from not moving up my players, it wouldn't have won me any more categories so far. Ray Allen and Spencer Hawes being injured on top of Jefferson and Kidd playing crappy has really killed me.

I've only got 7 players I drafted on my team now, I've brought in 6 free agents, I'm lucky I'm not in last place considering.
