He's in FA in a league I'm in, and I've noticed his minutes have been increasing slightly. Though he most likely got his 22 minutes tlast game hanks to foul trouble, he still did put up fairly nice numbers (he was attempting 3s too). Are there any wolves fans who have watched him play and could report on how he's looked? What do you guys think about Randy Foye?

Zach has apparently slimmed down and he is the Man in Portland. In GS you have a bunch of other players who will get the ball, and TP is 3rd in the pecking order in San Antonio. I know that Randolph is playing really well right now, but I wouldn't be doing that trade anytime soon, or at all. Hope this helps.

It seems like pretty good value, but I do have a lot of PGs, and Zach has been a beast! What are peoples thoughts on Zach Randolph - I could get Troy Murphy and Tony Parker for him.

Yeah I think I just have to ride Nocioni out a little bit longer. But, if this continues do you guys think I just have to drop him after a month? Thanks for the replies.

People hate those deals, it feels like you're trying to get them to take your garbage. Honestly, I think you'll have trouble trading Nocioni at all, he just doesn't have lots of name, trade value. As for Marbury, he's on my team and I've been watching as often as I can subject myself to the Knicks, and it's not pretty. It's not that he looks particularly bad, it's just that the Knicks offense just doesn't seem to have any flow. Honestly, at this point I'm hoping he can average 15/6 for the season and maybe start shooting more 3s. I'm not feeling very good. Claxton should be fine, it's just about making sure he gets healthy and then gets the opportunity to start and play 30+ minutes. I wouldn't say either of those are imminent. I think he will definitely have some value at some point this season, but it might not be all that soon. Watson's sorta like Earl Boykins, in that they make the most of their minutes, it's just that there just aren't quite enough of them. Also, it's been five games for most people. Still so incredibly, ridiculously early.

He's been playing so terrible that I'm almost tempted to start trading for him.. he can't be this bad can he? Anyone think Marbury is going to rebound soon?
