My half-assed prediction? About 30-33 minutes a game while Lou Williams is out – 15 points, 42% shooting percentage, 6.5 – 7 assists, 0.8 threes, and 1.5 steals . That does make him well worth owning in fantasy leagues in the short-term, however, I do think things will get ugly fast when Williams is set to return. Maybe the Sixers continue to start Iverson when Williams gets back, I guess it depends on how he performs over the next few weeks.

Sure, if you can package Butler and Calderon for Williams, I’d do that. Butler is wasting away on your bench and you have plenty of SF types in Lewis, Deng and Wallace. Plus, anytime you get the best player in a deal, you almost always come away with the better side of the deal.

As far as centers go, you might be able to buy someone like Brook Lopez (who has really nice percentages) for Butler plus something else. Mehmet Okur is a risker buy, but you might be able to get him on the cheap from a frustrated owner. After two bad games in a row, you might be able to steal Marc Gasol from an owner who is scared that his start to the year was a fluke. But overall, the Bogut/Dampier/Dalembert trio can work at center, because you’re getting the boards and blocks you need out of them from that position.

maybe he really isn’t a factor anymore.

I think he’ll be a decent comtributor in philly. my half assed projections are

14 points-5 assists, 1 three, 43%FG, 1.5 stls. In 31 min/game. when lou williams gets back, look for the minutes to drop to 28 or so.

I am in a pretty competative 12 man league 9 cat roto league where I have done some trading which has left my team a little stacked. I need one more trad I think to put me over the hump. Here is my current team:

Pg: Calderon
G: Roy
SG: Kobe
PF: Dirk
F: Wallace
SF: J. Johnson
C: Bogut
C: Dalembert
Util: Rashard Lewis
Util: L. Deng

Bench: Caron Butler
Bench: Dalembert
Bench: B Udrih
Bench: M. Bibby

Yes I know the team looks stacked (except center). because it is a keep four league I traded away some good keepers to get to the spot I am in now. I am hurting a little on field goal as I had salmons at beggining of year and he couldn;t shot at all but I am slowly climbing back.

My thought is to package Butler and Jose for Deron Williams if possible or package Butler and Dalembert for a better center.

Who should I target and who should start for me in the meantime as Butler is kinda just sitting there…

i like the Deron trade as it is an upgrade at Pg and gives good percentages (with a fair amount of shots for a pt gd) but maybe I should just stick with jose and just suffer the disappointing lines
