Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
Add: LaMarcus Aldridge (Por – SF,PF,C)
Drop: Charlie Bell (Mil – PG,SG)
Hey, that looks like me dropping someone I just picked up. Well, Bell had a few crap games, and that’s why my bench is called Box Office Poison… but that’s what a bench is for. I’ve got Jermaine O’Neal on my team, so I was feeling like I needed backup PF/C. I’ve got Dwight, Jermaine and Andrew Bogut as my Center platoon, but I didn’t have another Center or PF on my team, and 3 guys filling 3 position doesn’t work when one of them is injured.
Add: Travis Outlaw (Por – SF,PF)
Drop: Nene Hilario (Den – PF,C)
You’ll see below that Hilario was acquired at the cost of Sebastian Telfair. Doesn’t speak too highly of either of them. Travis can play SF and PF in Yahoo leagues, increasing his value a bit. Probably a better pickup than my Aldridge one above, but I’ll take the FT% right now (my DroppingDimes team is last in FT% right now). It’s no coincidence that Outlaw is in his 4th year out of high school and is starting to become a viable fantasy option. That happens more time than it doesn’t. Not that I have proof. But I believe it.
Add: Matt Barnes (GS – SF)
Drop: Tyronn Lue (Atl – PG)
This pickup seems to be about a week late (at least), but I guess with Troy Murphy’s playing time as it has been recently (ie: declining), it might be a good time to take a risk on one of the Warriors forwards or centers…
Add: Nene Hilario (Den – PF,C)
Drop: Sebastian Telfair (Bos – PG)
You saw above that Nene was dropped shortly after being picked up. Now, this could be a brilliant strategy to keep him on the waiver wire thereby making it less likely that someone else will pick him up, but really, I kind of doubt it. And I’d stay away from Telfair until we see where Iverson ends up.
