this is fantasy basketball
With Labor Day quickly approaching, fantasy pundits are preparing their rankings, sleepers, busts, and naughty and nice lists like Santa on Christmas Eve.

I’ve been meaning to link to this for a while… The Grizzles have signed Iranian Center Hamed Haddadi. [via Upside and Motor] As you have probably read somewhere else (I know I’ve seen it a few dozen times), Haddadi was the only player to average a double-double (16.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 [...]
Okay, I guess he kind of has to after basically being injured and proceeding to play in the Olympics. According to the AP via Yahoo, it sounds like he’ll need the same kind of surgery that Monta Ellis already had. I guess we’ll have to wait for an official prognosis before we adjust the Big [...]
