(We just recently found out it was "Tuff" and not "Tough" -- if you google "bog washingtonpost.com tough juice" you can find out all about it.) It's going to be a committee thing here in D.C. I hope Stevenson doesn't take it upon himself to fill the void, because that would not be good for the Wiz. Caron doesn’t just have a nickname, he has THE COOLEST nickname: Tuff Juice.

Johnson is a great player and is tough to give up, but Bosh is great as well. It looks like you are shaky in the middle with Yao out for a while and Darko emerging, but still not quite there yet. But Bosh is really turning it on as of late (man was he in the zone against the Wiz the other night) and with Paul coming back I think you can take the hit in assists. It's not a "slam dunk" deal, but I think there are more positives than negatives.

His performance definitly made me ashamed to be a Lebron owner, but that foul was most definitly NOT intentional. Lebron was flying over there to foul, but Wade didn't just stand there after he got the pass, he instead was ready to turn and dribble away. We all know you can't run and dribble with your knees straight like you are standing. So that caused Wade to bent his knees and got lower than what Lebron anticipated (as lebron already launched himself full speed to commit the foul). If Stern suspends bron after what Kobe just got because of that, someone needs to give him a good beating and clear his power hungry head. this is got to be the best fantasy bball column on the net that I’ve read, big thumbs up.

JM, we've never like Nachbar (at least I don't remember us ever liking him), and while I personally am not a big fan of Turkoglu I think that's a fine move. As for AD, I don't think he's going to have much more value with Jamison out. He's got much more value in real life than in fantasy, first of all, and secondly as long as Eddie Jordan enjoys giving Donnell Taylor minutes for no good reason Daniels shouldn't make much of a move on the player rater. ray, i think that looking to the wires is not a bad idea, but then it’s tough to say because we don’t know who’s on your wireds to compare him to. that said, if you’ve got 4 other C’s who all are more valuable, you can probably drop zo without too much worry.

Separating out the Millsaps from the Nachbars is very, very helpful. Glad you're making them weekly. These are great columns. Separating out the Millsaps from the Nachbars is very, very helpful.

Will he get enough extra minutes with Jamison out to have value. I love Daniel's ability to help out my FT%. Not easy to find someone on the waiver wire who takes as many attempts/minute that he does at such a high %.... What about Antonio Daniels, as Wizards fans I thought you might have some insight?

I'm focusing on 3's and FT% at the moment. He gets more minutes than Nachbar, and thus contributes in more categories. It seems like Turk has gotten out of his early season shooting slump, and is (at this point) still a starter, though was recently rumored to be benched for freaking Bogans... I really do dislike the Magic's coach for fantasy purposes, as do other former J.Nelson owner's, I'm guessing. The other big factor is that Grant hill is out for 2-3 weeks, which is great news for both Turkoglu and Nelson. So Turk should be getting 35 min/game for a few weeks, if not more. I recently dropped Nachbar for Turkoglu.
