Snyder, cook, fisher, childress, pollard, daniels, watson and juwan are interesting wire pick ups... I have LB, so I want to have a nice one-two punch going into the playoffs, but I just looked at the schedules, I'm actually giving up one game in the semis and championship rounds (other than the one that is lost from the extra player) Giving up Antawn and Hinrich
for
Dirk?

Personally, I think that Granger has the best fantasy game of the bunch. But will he get the minutes? Pietrus is the one in the starting lineup right now, although who knows how long that will last? He can't really shoot, but he hits 3s and gets some steals. I picked him up when I kicked Marko Jaric to the curb for the final time, as he has now officially surpassed Eddie Griffin on my Hate List. But yeah, these situations are near impossible. Whoever plays is the most valuable. Simple as that. With guys like these it always goes back the FBB mantra — it’s all about the minutes.

With these role players, I think its important to concentrate on team balance. That said, my recommendation on these players is Pietrus and Granger. I think Pietrus has everything to play for, and now the minutes to do so as a start at GS. Granger, likewise, should have room to blossom with the injuries in Indy. Nocioni puts up a good line, but there is one problem. His name is Scott Skiles. Martin--nice option, but for how long? In re: to Pietrus vs. Granger vs. Nocioni vs. Martin

I figured his fantasy value was washed up with Wells returning, but he played solid off the bench and now Wells has been out a few games. He has not been picked up in my league yet (surprisingly) and I'm wondering if I should go for him. However, I'd have to drop Pietrus, Nocioni or Krstic to get him (and dropping Krstic would leave me with b.Miller and Dalembert at center in my daily H2H league). what says yee. If Kevin Martin plays 40 minutes like when Wells is out, then its a no brainer...but come the fantasy playoffs..... Also, add to that list above, Kevin Martin.

Pietrus Nocioni Granger I like Pietrus because he'll get starters minutes by playing both SG/SF for Golden State and can put up pretty good numbers, especially if someone goes down. Nocioni was great for a while, but he has been in a slump or something. Also, he essentially is in a timeshare with Chicago's system. Granger is also on the bench, but seems like he could be the most valuable of them all as if he was starting then he would probably put up 15/10 with a three and a block....very nice, but not something that I think will necessarily happen. Pretty much, this is a H2H league. Which two will have the most value throughout the season or during the fantasy playoffs (Yahoo! league). Other people on the waiver wire include Al Jefferson, Ju. Jones (while Wallace is out)., and a few other people whom I cannot see picking up right now. But you can include them in the list if you like . thx.

Ron is now in fantasy wonderland, also known as Sacramento, and he should put up numbers at least as good as in Indiana this year...probably better. You also get a center who can be dominant in boards/blocks and not kill you in percentages either. Camby is more injury prone than Yao, even though Yao is coming back. I guess it depends about who is on the waiver wire to replace Vlad...Battier is a pretty solid all-around player, especially in leagues with TO's. If only Granger would get PT, then you should grab him. Otherwise, I just grabbed Pietrus and he should be of some value as well. But I'd do that trade...as an owner of Artest all year long. True Dat.

I dunno. If you watch the Bobcats (which isn't always easy to do), you've gotta admit that he and Felton make a pretty nice duo. Additionally, Knight would only leave if he was able to go to a contender - and that would mean he'd probably go in a backup capacity, killing his value. I'd agree with charlie here. As for your trade, anonymous (if that's your real name): Run, do not walk, to the "accept" button. I knew BK would come up in this discussion. I dunno.

You can drop Vlad and pick up a guy like Josh Childress to fill in the scrap stats that Battier and Iggy give you. Basically, you're giving up an injury prone stud and 2 unspectacular multi-cat contributors for 2 top-tier guys and a throw-in. You can find value like Battier and Radmanovic on the free agent wire at any time based on their recent production. Vlad ain't very good either way, and Shane has been coming back down to earth. Try to find an Artest or Ming on the FA wire. Not gonna happen. Trust me, get rid of Camby while you still can. He'll be hurt again by early March. I saw take that Ming/Artest/Radman trade.

I've just been offered a very intersting proposal. I get: Y. Ming, R. Artest, and V. Radmanovic I give: M. Camby, A. Iguodala, S. Battier If this was preseason, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But I'm not so sure right now. I lose a good number of rebounds and blocks, and my FG% suffers too. Thoughts? All,

Trading Jerry Stackhouse and/or Keith Van Horn would be great for Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels, two upandcomers. Dallas is like Atlanta - way too many swingmen. Trading Austin Croshere would give Danny Granger plenty of minutes to build on his (already impressive) rookie season. Take your pick of Bulls to trade (i.e. Sweetney,Songaila,Harrington) which could orce Skiles to use consistent rotations where people know there roles. That would make me happy as a Chandler owner.
