And how would you rank these three players: Szczerbiak, R.Jefferson, and Rip. What do you guys think about trading Ridnour for Kaman?

Keep in mind, he got off to an absolutely hideous start this year, going 6-for-32 (under 20%) over the first 9 games. He should end up close to his 41% career avergae eventually - not great, but you'll survive. Re: The Iverson trade, the one giving up AI is getting an absolute steal. I mean, Iverson is a premier player for sure, but to get a stud center, an OK center and a good PG in return is just a ton. Yeah you're gonna have to drop some bench players, but you've increased the TOTAL VALUE of your squad. Now you can turn around and trade 2-for-1 with some other squad if you wish. Jeremy, i agree with a lot of what you say, but i've gotta imagine all three of the guys he's getting in return are FAR more valuable than whoever he'd drop.

Iverson is that. However, this trade involves three pretty good players on the other end, and I would consider doing it. It depends on how deep your league is. In a deeper league, then I say go for it because you get two top centers (value = premium) and Kirk who is doing good at PG. It also depends if you have room at the end of your bench. What players will you have to drop to make room for these additional two players in the deal? If they are even remotely good, then the value of this deal decreases significantly. Thus, it looks good as it is written (iverson for the 3 guys), but you have to realize the ramifications that it will have to the rest of your squad and player's you'll have to drop...so unless I know that then I don't know if it's a decent trade. Rule of thumb...go with your instinct and try to have the best player in a trade. This trade is much better in H2H format than in Roto in my opinion, where you REALLY want to use games on good players (in H2H, where I set my lineup every day, the collective production of those three guys would outweigh AI's production I think). Anyways....good luck. Well usually you always want to end up with the best player in the trade. Iverson is that.

He got the healthy majority of the minutes tonight, and lit it up pretty well. Obviously I'm not expecting him to do that every night, but would he be a solid #2/3 PG and will his FG be good enough not to kill me, as it's be bad this year. Thx.

Brezec might be OK since Okafor will stay out, but he's help in FG% and that's it. Krstic might have the most consistent point/rebound totals which makes him on the surface, but he just doesn't do much. If you can swing a trade to get a true upgrade there, go for it, but you don't want to replace a hole just to create another one. Looks like Woods was hurt tonight. Still, it's a good reminder that the Knicks just cannot be counted on. Concur with it, bublitchki. I like Ridnour -- an old FBB fave -- better than Diaw. Ridnour's actually been a dominant player over the past couple weeks, and he bounced back from a minor injury with 20 and 13 assists, always good to see. He's played at least 35 minutes in his last 9 starts and plays for one of the highest scoring teams in the league. He won't keep up this pace, but he's a very solid #2 PG.

If anyone actually picked up Qyntel based on my comments about how Larry Brown had a personal stake in Qyntel Woods success and would thereby give him plenty o'minutes -I am truly, truly sorry. After three straight solid games, Woods logged a DNP tonight. Guess it's my bad for thinking that Larry Brown's coaching decisions could be predicated on anything as logical as, oh, his own self interest. I guess I've little choice now but to concur with the consensus that Brown is a psycho coach whose thought processes are about as predictable as the movement of atoms through space. I want to apologize.
