The last three games show why -- 5 3s, 5 steals and 22 assists. When he gets minutes, he's got the tools to be a nice asset. But once Hudson comes back he'll fall back to being an inconsistent option. Deng is like a better version of Mason, but it's still Scott Skiles. Personally, I've never been a big fan of Mason. Last night he got 42 mins and did score 22 on 10-of-15, but just 6 boards, no assists, 1 steal, no blocks, no 3s. For some reason I’m a longtime supporter of Jaric.

Mason is pretty one-dimensional while Deng can help you in at least 4 cats (pts, fg%, rebs & stls) Also: Jaric is a serious injury risk who has yet to play a full season. I'd offer him Mason and see if he bites. I’d go Mason for Jaric but not Deng.

Should I take advantage? Mason just broke the 40 minute mark tonight, and Deng just got the first start of the season so I'm a bit wary. What do you guys think?

I think he benefits the most from an Artest trade. I, too, hope that Marbury gets dealt as I recently traded for him with the hopes that his differences with Brown would eventually get him moved to a more advantageous situation. Having said that, I'm not sure that Indy would be ideal as they already have Tinsley and Jasikevicius at the point. Where, exactly, would Stephon fit in the mix if Tinsley and Jas are not moved as well? At the 2? Would that really benefit Marbury owners? I'm not so sure. Re: Harris. I see dude had another excellent outing tonight, even though Terry returned and Devin only got 21 minutes off the bench. But what a sweet line: 19/3/1 with 1 stl, 1 3 pfg and 10-10 from the stripe! Perhaps Avery envisions using him as a Boykins-type offensive energizer off the bench, in which case he;d have only limited value. But I went ahead and picked him up anyway... just in case he has a bigger role in store.

I'm in a h2h league. Who on the Pacers becomes that more valuable now? I just picked up Danny Granger as I can see him getting plenty of PT in Artest's spot. How do you see Granger turning out now?

He was nice while Terry was out, but now that Jason is back, Harris is going to struggle to find minutes and hus likely won't have any fantasy value. That said, these past few games were a nice sign of what could be. On a completely unrelated topic, here's hoping that Artest goes to new york in a package for Marbury. well, after trading for Jason Terry the day before his quad injury, I had to pick up Harris myself.

I know you guys have been touting him pretty heavily since the start of the season and his play over the past couple of weeks has certainly justified your faith in him. But he's gotten some heavy minutes with Terry out and I imaging Avery will be hard-pressed to scale him back down to only 20 mpg when Terry returns. He's currently available on our waiver wire and I definitely think he'd be worth picking up if his minutes remain around 30/ game. What do you think of the future prospects for Devin Harris?
