Wouldn’t make for quite as an intriguing column these days, huh? Unless you are playing in a seriously deep league or have tons of bench spots, Stojakovic has got to be cut. Because there are so many injuries, it means that most teams are holding onto an injured player or two, so roster spots are at a premium. For as long as Stojakovic is going to be out, it has to be a real superstar, such as Rashard Lewis, who is an absolute no-brainer to hold on to during his two month absence. All the signs are negative for Peja – major back surgery, not even attempting to give a timetable for return, just signed a big contract so team won’t want to rush him back, especially since they’ll be far out of the playoff picture by then. Best case scenario would seem to have him back for the last month or so, but it seems like we really may have seen the last of Peja this season. Darius Songaila seems to have undergone a similar operation, and as a Wizards fan I’ve been following his progress and he had surgery before the season started and they’re saying that he might start practicing after the all-star break. So there’s one example. There are just too many guys out there to bother holding onto a player without huge upside who seems to unlikely to return.

It's not like Gasol will contribute that much less than Marbury over the next month and a half :) Carl I dropped Marbury for Gasol yesterday, and I have to say I feel quite a bit better.

There I feel the slightest bit better. Nothing like coming home totally wasted to find your 4th round pick with 3 points in 19 minutes. Fucking bullshit. Can I just say — fuck Stephon Marbury?

I know that he was stuggling with a quadriceps injury, which limited Dalembert last year, but he has put up horrible numbers in the limited action that he has seen. I don't watch much Clipper ball, but I'm afraid of them running small with a lineup of Tim Thomas and Brand in the post spots, leaving Kaman as the odd man out. I know that I can't drop him yet, but I see other players out on the wire (Aldridge and Garbajosa) who look to have quite a bit of potential, especially if they can get 30+ minutes per night. I know that it's still too early to drop Kaman and I can't do it, and I can't get any value in a trade either...!!!! What do you suggest? Oh how I wish I would have taken Emeka Okafor with that pick instead. So what is the deal with Chris Kaman exactly?

Terrance is right that Bibby -- while still quite valuable -- has a lot of games under his belt and just can't be counted on like he could be three years ago. I don't think Bibby's shooting will be much better until Brad Miller comes back; right now there's nobody around to create good shots for Bibby except himself, and we see how well that's working out for him.
