What do you think of Perkins value going forward?

I’m considering dropping L.Barbosa and/or Kenny Thomas to pick up either T.Chandler,K.Perkins,Jumaine Jones

trade help:
Someone is offering me Allen Iverson, Kurt Hinrich, and Zach Randolph for Ray Allen, Richard Jefferson and Richard Hamilton…I really don’t know what to think about this trade. I LOVE the idea of having three starting guards all capable of high assists numbers, as well as the points Iverson will inevitably bring, but losing Jefferson is my main worry, especially considering the forward I’m getting for him is of obviously inferiro value…opinions?

One look at Perkins line tonight should give you a sense of his value going forward; 13/11/0 with 5 blocks in 27 minutes. He has one of the best rebounbd rates in the league and IS now the Celts’ starting C and so you should see similar numbers most nights.

As for Jefferson, his upside is far greater than Perkins. Yet he makes a far less attractive pickup than Perkins at this point. For one thing, he doesn’t have C eligibility in Yahoo leagues; secondly he has a problem staying on the floor as he’s either getting into foul trouble or pissing off Rivers with his poor defense.

However, once he gets it figured out- watch out. Dude’s a superstar waiting to happen.

I’m currently offering Boris Diaw for Delonte West. What do you guys think of this trade?

Boris’s numbers are better overall, but Delonte helps in FG, FT, and three pointers. Also, with the trade, I figure his role will probably expand with the Celtics offense…I’d hope…and he’s playing pretty well right now.

Anyways, with Barbosa coming back and possibly Amare…what do you think of this trade.

My league is a very deep H2H league, so I need to compete overall.

Anyways, what do you think of this trade overall? At the time of the playoffs, would this move payoff?

Hopefully the other player won’t accept till I get feedback, but at least either way I have Diaw or West on my squad…solid either way. But I’m solid on West, and I’ll be sure to try and draft him next year.

Thanks.

Let’s see … Perk has impressed me over the past few games. He’s a rebounding machine, he’s getting some blocks and he’s starting. That’s the big thing. I’d rather have him than Jefferson. Not in two years, but right now. Jefferson needs to have his offensive game working to have value, and he’s way inconsistent still. Perkins doesn’t, and he qualifies at center.

AI, Hinrich and Randolph for Allen, RJ and Rip? No way. You will plummet in FG% and Hinrich and Randloph are the two most inconsistent guys in the group, by far.

West > Diaw. No brainer. If you can pull that off, definitely do it.

Someone is offering me Allen Iverson, Kurt Hinrich, and Zach Randolph for Ray Allen, Richard Jefferson and Richard Hamilton

I agree with DM, nope. Iverson is the best player in that trade - but Allen and Jefferson are both top 30 players, and Rip is right up there - so I think you would be giving up too much. Both Hinrich and Randolph are not worth your time.

As far as Delonte West vs Boris Diaw, Diaw has played better over the course of the season, but West is trending up and Diaw (with Barbosa back) is at best treading water. I would say they are about even at this point depending on the needs of your team, but all things considered, I would actually take Diaw.

Well I definitely think both Perkins and Jefferson are worth pickups. Gotta give Perk the slight edge right now considering his more consistent play and Center eligigbility.
I like Delonte West over Diaw. A PG that plays that kinda defense AND great percentages is nearly impossible to find… and he keeps getting better! I think the trade with Minny will also give him a slight bump in stats.

Does anyone else think LeBron will try and top Kobe’s 81 today against Phoenix? Look out.

Here’s my Comet Gain (coming from a Oregonian, it hurts):

Qyntel Woods (16.3 points, 8.7 rebs, 32 minutes, 1.7 steals, 1.7 3ptm, and 68% FG) Over the last three games, two of which he’s started, he’s been tearing it up. The question is if it can continue, let alone will…the odds are against Q. He’s playing on NY where no one seems to have consistent/decent fantasy value. However, he is extremely athletic and if given the chance could put up numbers similar to these (with the exception of the field goal percentage).

But, NY has guys like Richardson, Arazia, and others who can and probably will eat into his playing time.

Anyways, is he even worth looking at picking up?

My second question is whether I should drop Krstic for Perkins. I’ve had Krstic all year and know that he did better in the second half of the year. I’d be giving up some points and steals, but Perkins will get me more blocks.

woods is worth a pickup if a) you need something in the REAL short-term and b) you don’t have to drop anyone of any value for him. Ariza’s been inactive lately, freeing up major minutes for Qyntel (you can’t call him “q”, btw, cuz the real “Q” is his teammate!).

As for Krstic/Perkins, i like perk. krstic has been a major dissapointment this year. krstic’s boards and blocks, not to mention his FT%, are just not where i hoped they’d be this year.

Any advice would be appreciated: Here is my team:

R. Alston
G. Wallace
K. Bryant.
B. Diaw
R. Artest
L. Odom
S. Dalembert
B. Miller
A. Miller
J. Johnson
T. Murphy
A. Nocioni
N. Krstic
D. Gooden

This is a 12 team H2H league. Currently, on the waiver wire, there is Bobby Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, and Qyntel Woods. Obviously Woods is a huge gamble and not someone to warrent pickup till he has a few more decent games given the Knick’s line-changing philosophy.

Krstic has been decent all season, and played his best ball the second half of last season. Do you think I should be dropping someone like Krstic to get him on my team (or Gooden?). There’s also the issue of Bobby Jackson, whom despite Atkins has been still playing 35-ish minutes and putting up pretty solid numbers.

My biggest inclination is that I need to get Perkins on my team, as it seems like he’ll be adding blocks too…but should I drop Gooden or Krstic to pick him up. Gooden has better numbers, but Krstic has more playing time available to him and has center eligibility.

In the meantime, the Diaw for Delonte trade has gone nowhere. Hopefully West’s poor play over the last five and Diaw’s strong defensive showings will convince him to make the trade, as I see Diaw getting squeezed out of some PT, with West getting lots of minutes at PG. If I could swap those two (and get more three pointers as a result) then I think it would be good for my team overall, though I’ll obviously loose Diaw’s all-around value. eh.

I just picked up Qyntel. Here’s my take:

I’m a Knick fan and follow their daily soap opera fairly closely. Right now there’s some talk that Brown is angling to take on the same coach/team president role that he had in Philly should Isiah’s current legal troubles lead to his dismissal.

What does any of this have to do with Qyntel? Well, a few weeks back, Brown - who claims he’s always liked Qyntel’s game - told Isiah that the Knicks should sign him. Isiah didn’t want to do it, as he was not as sold on Woods’ skills. According to the story, Brown persisted until Isiah finally relented.

So Qyntel is, in essence, Brown’s personal reclamation project. If the rumors are true and Brown is indeed trying to gain a greater role in Knicks’ personnel decisions down the road, a successful Qyntel would go a long way toward making his case for him. Thus Brown would appear to have a pretty good incentive for continuing to give Qyntel major minutes should he continue his solid play.

So, if you feel you can trust the rumors and the speculations of one Knicks fan (many of whom have become pretty deranged by now), Qyntel is worth a pickup and might end up as more than simply a short term fix.

so much talk on perkins lately - what do you guys see him as? lower tier no1 centre? or solid no2? i’d drop either magloire or diaw to pick him up but i’m hesitant to do either since i see them both as trade assets. but i dun wanna miss the boat on pickin up perkins either…

Ya, I really wanna pick up Perkins, but I don’t think I have any room to. My team is:

SG Ray Allen
PG Stephon Marbury
G Sam Cassell
SF Lamar Odom
PF Troy Murphy
F Richard Jefferson
C Emeka Okafor
B Caron Butler
B David West
B Delonte West
B Richard Hamilton
B Chris Kaman

Do you think Perkins would be worth a spot in favor of any of these players, or should I just stick to what I have?

Oh btw my league is 10-team H2H with 9 categories

Quick question, gotta decide by 6:00 tomorrow…which of these three do I start for the upcoming week: Pachulia vs. NY @CHA ORL @WAS, Crawford vs. @ATL LAL @TOR HOU (coming off his worst performance of the year), or Bobby Jackson vs. HOU DAL @MIL? I also have Granger. Thoughts?

It depends on what you need, but I’d probably go with Pachulia. Jackson only has three games, and I don’t trust Brown in NY (although Crawford has the best schedule).

Depends on who else you’re fielding, but Pachulia is my instinct if you don’t need 3s.

As for my team (I listed the roster above) the only guys I can legitimately think of dropping would be Nocioni, Krstic and Gooden. But Nocioni continues to play pretty well (I need the 3’s ) and Gooden…it’s tough to drop him, even though I just got him off of the waivers/FA today. Krstic…he’s my third center and I think he does an alright job…he puts up decent points and gets minutes (which is a cat in my league).

Out of my roster, based on 12 categories, here are people in FA that could help me: Bobby Jackson, Perkins, Al Jefferson (whom I drafted and have since picked up twice this year), Woods, Watson, Kevin Martin, Kenny Thomas.

Overall, my 12 team league is pretty deep and they don’t let good players last long on the waviers. I’m waiting until today’s game to assess the potential of Woods. If he throws up a monster game, then I may have no choice but to grab him for someone (and if I do, then who do I drop…Gooden?). I can’t see droping Krstic unless I get another player with C-eligility. Perkins fits, and I think he’ll get more boards and blocks than Krstic…but will he get points or hurt me in %’s?

Anyways, what do you think. I’m pretty competitive, since I live with all 11 guys in my league (fraternity). I guess Perkins could definately be a good replacement for Krstic. I do need some blocks now that Wallace is down for a while.

Thx to all. much appreciation.

One more thing (sorry for all the message posts, but I’ve been thinking about Fantasy BBall too much today).

Looking at my roster, what would be an acceptable sell-high buy-low for Jermaine O’Neal? Right now I’m offering D. Gooden and Krstic for O’Neal and Deron Williams hoping he’ll bite on it (though I seriously doubt it). If I need to make another offer, what would be good value for me and something he might accept. His roster is:

Bibby, Salmons, Parker, Gasol, J.O’Neal, David West, James Jones, Brezec, Okur, Croshure, Deron Williams, S. Stoudamire, J. Terry and Greg Buckner.

Personally, as I mentioned, Gooden and Krstic are guys I don’t mind getting rid of, as Perkins is on the waiver. I’d be happy to get O’Neal and anyone (whom I could then drop for Perkins or someone) in a trade involving two players on each side.

Right now with Gooden/Krstic for O’Neal/Williams I am definately pushing it. What would be reasonable from looking at my roster above, to help me out. The league is H2H and I’m tied for second right now, so I can afford some slippage and make the playoffs.

Thx.

DON’T trade for Jermaine O’Neal at any price unless you’re getting a steal. If he even returns this year (probably will be shut down when they fall out of playoff contention), I can’t say he’ll be any good. Fred Taylor tore his groin a few years ago and took 3 years to get back on the fantasy map.

On the Delonte West question, there’s a rumor the Celts will trade Pierce and LaFrentz for a package deal. One of the rumored deals would be to Chicago for Duhon, Tim Thomas, and another player. If that happens, Delonte will be a SG where the coaches prefer him. But Wally World is the starting SG. It could end up being a starting lineup of . . .
PG Duhon
SG Szerbiak
SF Tim Thomas
PF Jefferson
C Perkins

If that happens, Delonte will be much less valuable. At this point, I think I’d stil with Diaw due to his eligibility everywhere but C and PG.
