Praying Wright keeps playing like that. He was the only risky move I made in my draft and being my best SG, he’s scared me so far.

I need an advice. Should I trade Lawson and Chandler for Westbrook and Delfino?

Me too.

**Crosses fingers**

I’d be very close to making that trade. It’s close enough for me that I’d want to know the rest of the team, and also did someone offer that to you or are you going to make that offer to someone else?

Fellas,14 team h2h 9cat  daily changes..can somebody please tell me why i shouldnt drop jared DUDley rt now..him and afflalo are killin me?? Its not much on the wire rt now..Im thinking about dropping these two for james johnson and kyle korver what u think???

Looks like someone is fed up with Gay’s slow start to the season. One rule to trading is always try to get the best player in the deal, which you would not be. But, you would be getting a whole lot of talent in return – basically trading a 1/2 draft round player for a 2/3 rounder and a 3/4 rounder. 

I’d be inclined to make that trade, but it depends on how much you were using Mo WIlliams. Are using Mo Williams every or just about every night he plays? The upgrade from Mo to Bargs more than offsets the downgrade from Melo to Gay, provided he was a big part of your rotation. 

I do but they’re all taken..lol..I play in a league where if someone is having a good game and u dont pick him up by halftime..he gone..tmac,jordan crawford,bayless,rush,singleton,booker,davis are whats left pretty much..so u see what im working with or lack thereof!!! Any suggestions?

If you’re not happy with what Dudley and Afflalo are doing on your team right now, you’re REALLY not going to like what any of these other guys are doing. Short-term, Singleton and Booker are ok adds as long as they stay in the starting lineup for the Wizards. They are all bunched with Afflalo on our rater around the 150 mark, so you’d sort of be swapping players around who have similar value. Long term I still like Afflalo the best.

Other guys who are probably gone but I’d consider would be Chandler Parsons or possibly Matt Barnes. I don’t know if you are looking for center help, but I wouldn’t be surprised is Byron Mullens becomes the Bobcats starting center soon. Or if you’ve got the bench spot, stash Davis for now until he comes back for the Knicks He’s expected back at the end of January, which is only about 2-3 weeks at this point. 

Boozer vs Washington or Scola at SA?

really struggling with this one, partially because I’m a huge bulls fan. Gotta feeling Boozer might go off on a bad team like he did against detroit and Scola doesn’t contribute as much in the other categories, can’t shake the feeling that scola might be the smarter more practical play though

Guys, need some advice with JJ Hickson.  Can’t trust him.  I play him and he goes 1-5.  Bench him he goes 15 and 10.  It seems like a no brainer with Hayes out for a few weeks but he’s just so damn inconsistent.  Anybody see a silver lining to him?  Lastly, I’m debating about stealing Granger from his frazzled owner for Mo Williams.  Mo has been rock solid and is getting better.  Granger…is Granger.  

That’s a tough call. After Scola’s performance last night against the anorexic (like runway models, just to tie it all together) Charlotte front line, I’d probably go with Boozer… but then Scola had 28 points the game right before that… I don’t know… San Antonio’s defense up front seems pretty good, though.

think I’m gonna play both and sit Jefferson (who’s been nothing short of fantastic lately). Probably not gonna win 3′s in my matchup so boards and points are what’s needed most (as well as asts steals and blocks) all categories which jefferson doesn’t particularly shine in.

100% agree. Thanks for the help!

First of all, love the site. Love the rater. My first stop for fantasy info nowadays.

Second, I’d like your opinion on my team.
12 team H2H 9 cat daily start 10 bench 3 1 IR
Punting FTs

Here is my team:
Rondo
Lawson
Conley
Shumpert
Richardson
Delfino
LBJ
R Jefferson
R Anderson
Frye
Al Jefferson
Bynum
Dalembert

I made a standing offer to trade Conley for Deandre and another Conley for McGee to boost my blocks as I have steals to spare and overloaded in PGs. 

Need depth on the wings though and I want to target Iguodala. 

I’d appreciate your analysis and suggestions. Thanks a lot

Hey RJ,

I’m a little short on time today for analysis purposes, but I can run your team through the grinder and come out with your expected average stats per week (assuming you rotate all your guys in during the week):

pts 712
reb 292
ast 175
stl 58
blk 34
to 89
3pm 57
fgp 48%
ftp 74%

And here is what the average team in your league looks like:

pts 656
reb 267
ast 143
stl 52
blk 32
to 90
3pm 41
fgp 46%
ftp 76%

So yeah, other than FT%, you look really strong. Your blocks are basically average, so you could use some more in a trade. I really like a Conley/McGee trade, Conley/Jordan not as much. Jordan is a plus shot blocker, but his rebounding numbers aren’t anything special and the rest of his stats are not good at all. If you do flip Conley, Iggy would be a nice player to target as you’d get some of those steals and assists back. Other than that, you shouldn’t have to do too much with this team – just ride the beast LeBron. 

My Danilo for Joe Johnson?  I know Danilo is way ahead of JJ in terms of the player rater as of now, but projecting for the rest of the season, do you think JJ picks his game up / outperforms Danilo?

If you’ve lost AST twice,you may consider punting it and shifting to PTS. I’d take that in a heartbeat.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Danilo outperforms JJ after all is said and done. Getting occasional BLK from my SF is more fun than extra AST from an SG. For some weird reason, outside of Nene’ health issues lately, I consider Denver to be the more “stable” fantasy team overall.

He offered it to me. I’m on a 12 team h2h league. I have Dwight Howard. I’m punting FT, 3′s. I have Al Jefferson, Iggy, Gay, DeAndre, Okafor, Amir J, Speights, Diaw, Tony Allen.

what do you think? He wants Gay an Lawson only for Westbrook an Delfino.

I agree with Erik, Gallo is outperforming JJ in nearly every category (except 3s) and that’s with less minutes a game. JJ has consistently shown regression over the last 4-5 years, no reason to assume he’ll do anything but continue that trend.

Thank you.  

I’m sorry Nels. What I meant is he Wants Lawson and Chandler for Westbrook and Delfino. I m really on the edge about this one.

Without any other info, this would be a sort of fair trade (though you’d still lose because Chandler is playing so well right now and Delfino is basically a waiver wire player).

But if you take out FT% and 3s, then it makes it an even worse trade for you. Even looking at just the last week of stats, you take a huge hit in Rebounds and Blocks, and even in Steals. If you are already dominating those categories because of Dwight Howard, then maybe you could consider this trade, but only if you’re winning by enough that you can replace Chandler’s contributions with Westbrook’s and still win.
