Looking for fantasy advice...

Good call on Speights. He was gone pretty early after the draft in our league. I'm thrilled I picked up Marc Gasol after the draft. He's almost averaging a double double. My team, A.I.'s Practice Squad, is in first place and is rolling, although there is speculation that my flagship player, the answer, may be retiring since he isn't starting. CP3 is justifying the #1 pick and my bigs are playing awesome. 14-4. If I can stay healthy and my guys keeping playing at this level for the remaining 85% of the season, I'll be fine.

How about Jennings numbers the other night? 55points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists... hip hip horay!

This is the first week I have 12 guys playing(our max) and am not playing hurt players.. and its showing.. Iam still in last but making up some good numbers bringing me out of the barrel.. If only my top 2 players could play now(Gasol, Martin)

Got no room in the in.. as I have kept Martin, and McGrady.. Good to see Gasol should be back today so I still have a full 12 man unhurt roster. While I am still in last, I made up a lot of points this last week. For the week I am in 4th place, so that helps.

Jennings was a great pick up, and with this being a 3 year keeper league I am pumped to have him for the next couple of years at least. Chris Douglas Roberts has also come out of his shell the last 2 games, outstanding numbers, we will see if he keeps that up.

Ok.. Need advice... I am still falling further behind as I cant seem to put a full team on the court.. I have no choice but to get rid of Bogut, and am going to drop Nate Robinson as well as he has done NOTHING!.. I need just about everything, but probably need steals and assists the most. Rebounds as well.. all these guys are available, who would be my best choice if not my best 2 choices... Keep in mind, I may only keep this new pick up for a week or two at most.

Kenyon Martin

Corey Maggette

Brad Miller

Dahante Jones

Allen Iverson

Will Bynum

Shane Battier

Ersan Ilasova

There are more.. obviously.. currently I am thinking of picking up Martin and Maggette, but really likeing Jones in the last week as well.

Deitz,

I would grab Dahntay Jones out of that group. He's blocking almost 2 shots per game from the SG position and has been putting up great all around numbers. His minutes might drop some with the return of Dunleavy, but I'd still pick him up.

Probabaly Maggette second out of that group, but he won't help you much in the cats you need.

My team is still out in first, but injuries are racking up. CP3 has a high ankle sprain, Bogut is out a month, Tyrus Thomas is out for a while...Looking at the standings, it appears that I've been playing the dregs of the league to start things out. Being a realist I can tell you that I could slide down a few spots until people get healthy...however, I have an unusual idea. Iverson is on my team, and the Knicks declined picking him up. I'm guessing he may be out of basketball for this year since he doesn't want to come off the bench for anyone. Anyways, Kevin Martin was dropped by his owner and sits at the top of our heap of free agents. Martin is out 6-8 weeks with a fractured wrist that they are letting heal instead of getting season ending surgery for. I'm wondering if I should drop Iverson, who wasn't playing anyways, and sit on Martin until he's ready...it could put me over the top when playoff time comes. Any opinions on this one?

Morrow is still available. I gave him a very good look this last week as I ended up giving on McGrady and Bogut for health reasons.. I got Jones and Ilyasova.

I also made a trade, not a good one on my part.. but since I am in last with no hopes for the season, I am building for the future. We are a Roto league with a Auction draft, so eerybody has equal chance at everybody if your willing to spend your salery cap. You have to keep a few on your team, I think 4 from the eyar before, so if you have some good cheap guys, you will have more to spend on good expensive guys. So I ended up trading away Derrick Rose and Nate Robinson, and in return got Paul Millsap($4) and Thaddius Young($3).. both guys who are doing well, Millsap will do much better when boozer gets hurt, which will eventually happen.. just a matter of time. Made a ton of changes as of late.. so here is my current team and their $ ammnts. Keep in mind all free agents are $10 when you pick them up.

CDR $10

Jennings $10

Jones $10

Deng $3

Hill $1

Iguadalla $33

Turkoglu $19

Villanueva $4

Young $3

Bargnani $10

Gasol $24

Kevin Martin $16

Jameer Nelson $20

Paul Millsap $4

As I said, trying to build for next year at this point and maybe try not to loose as the guy who gets last place has to buy the beer for next years draft night..

Good job!

That was a pretty good deal for you. I think Rose is over rated for fantasy and Millsap's value will go up if Boozer gets traded which sounds likely. I think Thaddeus has under achieved so far and could play better from here on out.

I'm currently sitting at 1-4, but have the second best "Breakdown" record which means I'd be in second place if we played every team every week. Translation, I'm just having tough luck. I've lost three out of four games on Sunday night in the 4th quarter of the final game of the week. This past week it was Pau Gasol getting six assists against me when I had a five assist lead.

Bogut had a double double last night, so he's back. I cut Louis Williams who was having a great season. If he's still around in 6 weeks I'll pick him up, earlier if I get healthy. Tyrus Thomas should be back next week. Despite getting pounded by injuries, I only dropped into 2nd place with a favorable matchup this week.

Biedrins was a good cut.. Actually all my cuts and trades I have been happy with except Bogut. Wish I would have held on. But he was supposed to be out at least 2 more week and I did not have the roster space to keep him. I hope the reports of D.Jones to be a starter soon are correct. And my new pick up of E. Ilyaslova continue to do well. I am having a great week so far, and as of today am in 7th overall. But most importantly I feel I have a team to build for for next year.
