Going, going, back back to Cali Cali

Posted by Nels on February 28th, 2005 filed in Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Hornets, Trades

Don’t worry Baronites, his move from Nawlins to Golden State (which is evidently somewhere in California) has not affected his ability to miss 59% of his shots. If anything, the plane ride and the time zone change have increased his missing effectiveness.
That said, the Baron is still Le Baron… 8 AST, 3 REB, 1-2 FG3’s, [...]

Ups and Downs at Fantasy NBA Blog

Posted by Nels on February 25th, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball

Over at Fantasy NBA Blog they’ve constructed a pretty concise evaluation of which players fantasy values have gone up/down/nowhere.
My editorial comments:JR Smith’s value is high, considering he and Dickau are the only healthly players left on the Hornets. Don’t forget, though, that Lee Nailon is money. He was playing 31 minutes a game. [...]

Let's start with the East

Posted by Nels on February 25th, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Trades

We’re just gonna go through this on a team-by-team basis… as opposed to trying to sort out any individual trades. In addition, I’m only going to put in bold players’ names that you should check for on the FA list, or try to acquire in a trade.
Miami: First of all, it appears that Shaq [...]

Holy Kizzow!

Posted by Nels on February 24th, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Trades

It just so happens that the trade deadline this year falls on my girlfriend’s birthday… This means that analysis of the myriad trades that went down will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve got the comments working again, so go ahead and leave a comment wishing her (Val) a Happy Birthday.
Barons and [...]

Some Summarization

Posted by Nels on February 24th, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Trades

“C-Webb…Value will stay the same for the most part.I can see his assists going down a little and his scoring and rebounding going up a little.
Iverson…Value goes down a little.Bottom line, the ball will not be in his hands as much which means less points and less assists. He is still a stud and [...]

Dropping Webber like he's hot

Posted by Nels on February 24th, 2005 filed in Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings, Trades

Drop the Dime (aka Drop It Like It’s Hot) analyzes the Webber trade.
Here’s what I have to add: The trade is obviously going to hurt Iverson’s output. Those guys the 76ers traded were not putting up Webber numbers. Combined. Okay, maybe all together they equalled one Webber. That said… I think Webber and AI [...]

Damp is all wet

Posted by Nels on February 23rd, 2005 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Injuries

So, Erick Dampier (I’ve been meaning to reference myself more often) is out for 2-3 weeks and I know the question on everyone’s mind is: Who should I pick up to take advantage of this tradgedy?
Answer: …Um, Rick Brunson?
Honestly, if there is one of the “good” Mavericks left as a free agent in your [...]

Statcounter Mailbag (It's like a mailbag without any mail!)

Posted by Nels on February 22nd, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, NBA Basketball

I was just looking over my stat logs (as us narcissists are apt to do) and noticed that someone got here by searching for Shaun Livingston Girlfriend. In an effort to help that person out, does anyone happen to know if Shaun Livingston has a girlfriend? If not, is he looking? Cause someone is looking [...]

Sticking to your guns

Posted by Nels on February 22nd, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball

With trade deadlines approaching in fantasy leagues and the NBA, you might tempted to try to make some last minute deals. Or perhaps, as in my case, everyone else in your league is trying to get you take what’s behind door #2…
It’s time to stick to your guns. For the H2H folks out there, if [...]
