Tinsley will, when healthy, be far superior to Calderon, who should be on and off waiver wires all year. Go with Tinsley. Steve, i’m gonna have to agree with Jeremy on this one.

With that and the fact that we don't know about Ron Artest, you have to pickup Tinsley in lieu of someone like Calderon. Sure, Calderon will get you assists, but he doesn't help you in any other category. And, I doubt he'll necessarily be picked up. I play in a really deep league, and Calderon is still available...he could sit on the waiver ready to be picked up again when Tinsley goes down. Overall...Tinsley is the better player by far...when he is healthy...a risk worth taking for sure. Tinsley, when healthy, can be a beast.

This was before he left the road trip, and the owner pulled the trade back. But if i reoffered it, I think i could swing it. Thoughts? I was also offered Cassell and D. Howard for Billups and Ilgauskus. I turned it down and countered with Bosh in place of Cassell. I know that's asking a lot, but I'm from Detroit and Chauncey is just too damn good. Help me out here boys... I was offered Webber and Diaw for Kirilenko. This was before he left the road trip, and the owner pulled the trade back. But if i reoffered it, I think i could swing it.

He sat out the rest of the game. He should be ok next game. Stro got kicked in the balls by Bosh by accident. He sat out the rest of the game. He should be ok next game.

I have a questions but I want to let you know that your site is one of the few places that I trust for fantasy basketball advice. It also is a good break from work. Anyway, enough ass kissing. I play in a 10 team, nine cat (Points, Boards, Assists, TOs, 3's, FT%, FG%, Blocks, Steals), head to head league, with daily lineup changes and a max on add/drops for the season. Also, the format of the league is the following: 1 PG, 1 SG, 1 G, 1 PF, 1 SF, 1 F, 2 C with a bench, using Yahoo eligibility. My current team is: Bibby, Deng, Ridnour, Stojakovic, D. Howard, L. James, Przybilla, B. Miller, Calderon, Pierce, Odom, Haywood. Tinsley is on the waiver wire. Considering my current team, do you value Tinsley or Calderon higher for the rest of the season? Also, any suggestions to improve my team would be appreciated. Thanks. Hey fellas.

BV, show some love for our boy Brendan Haywood! Seriously tho, I think I might suggest those centers in the exact <I>opposite</I> order. BV has Krstic, so he's biased; I admit I have Haywood so I'm biased. But here's a secret about Krstic -- he sorta sucks. He doesn't do much of anything. At least Haywood is semi-dominant in FG% and blocks, which is what you want from a fill-in center. But basically, what this goes to show is that backup centers are such a volatile, interchangeable bunch. Wait a second here … BV, show some love for our boy Brendan Haywood!

Still, when you drop him, i'd consider those guys in the following order: Krstic, Curry, Kaman, Mihm, and Haywood. As for your trade, MKD, i love it and I think you got by far the better end of the deal. Honestly, a CP3-for-AK47 is worth considering, and Artest makes it a no-brainer. nice job. well it looks like you can safely drop swft at this point, and i sure do look like a jackass for my column on tursday.

I had to do it. I traded Kirilenko for Chris Paul and Ron Artest tonight. It was just sitting there for sooo long. And Kirilenko has been injured for soooo long. Sure, I might feel back when he comes back and goes 17, 10, and 5 with 4 blocks per--but it had to be done. Didn't it? Didn't it?! Chris Paul is really good, though. Artest, too. I didn't like the idea of Kirilenko leaving the road trip to see back specialists... I did it. I had to do it. I traded Kirilenko for Chris Paul and Ron Artest tonight.

I picked up Swift because of Ming's injury, but Mutombo will be back soon, plus he isn't looking too hot tonight. Haywood, Kaman, Curry, Mihm and Krstic are also on the waiver wire, and I can't decide who to go with. Also, my starting center is Okafor, so now that he's injured I basically am center-less for the next week. Should I try to swing a trade to get more depth at center, or should I just hope Okafor comes back strong and stays healthy?

But i will say this: the team you have looks like it could be a league winner, and my long-standing theory in all fantasy keeper leagues is that if you've got a chance at a title, don't sacrifice it for a better tomorrow (i.e., trading three studs for lebron). It's so tough to predict what will happen next week, much less next year or the years after. So don't panic and make a move for the future when you could win a title right now. well it’s tough to comment on keeper league without knowing the rules behind it.
