That's if you think he'll be full-speed when he returns. I don't . . . That said, Grant Hill could go down for the season at any time, and Jameer would be golden if he is healthy and that happens. Probably the FA in your league with by far the most upside. I’d prefer a healthy Jameer Nelson to Mo Williams. That’s if you think he’ll be full-speed when he returns. I don’t . . .

He's getting close to being healthy and the coach promised him his starting spot back. My bench consists of Darius Miles, Mo Williams and Kendrick Perkins. any thoughts on Jameer Nelson?

But most keeper leagues that i've seen have round-value rules that move from year to year. For example, if you draft a guy one year in the 14th round, you can keep him the next year in the 13th, then the 12th the year after that, etc. What this does is makes it so that 1st round picks (and in other cases, second and third rounders as well) can't be kept, which makes them serious trade bait when they're on teams out of the running. If you can keep a guy at his same round value, then by all means it's a different story for LeBron. Does that help? Adam, I'd leave Banks on the wire. He's been ok, but inconsistent, and with Darko as your only backup center he's worth more to your team (i would guess). 2 other things about banks: one, he commits a TON of fouls for a PG, which keeps him off the court, and two, he's a FA after this season (i think) - i'm not sure he's in the TWolves long-term plans. greg - as i said, all keeper leagues have their own rules.

I've been very impressed with him so far in Minnesota. He's putting up good numbers and minutes as well. I've got Delonte West, Kevin Martin, and Darko on my bench. Should I think about nabbing Banks? Darko's my third and last center, however... Hey guys, what do you think of Marcus Banks so far? I’ve been very impressed with him so far in Minnesota.

Why don't I want to keep Lebron to build around. What would I have to get in return for Lebron for it to be worth it Could you explain further? Why don’t I want to keep Lebron to build around.
