I believe your logic is on target. Johnson is more likely to play out the season than someone like Ray Allen. The mere fact that Allen was just considering season-ending surgery is enough for me to try to get rid of him. He's the high-priced superstar who has no reason to risk further injury when his team is out of playoff contention. I'd definitely rather have Johnson at this point. </p> Rook… I believe your logic is on target. Johnson is more likely to play out the season than someone like Ray Allen.

I know no one really knows, but you guys seem to have a theory about what might happen. Is a younger player like Joe Johnson less likely to take the last few games off?

Playing this weekend could be a reprieve of sorts for his value. If he plays this weekend I'll see what kind of offers I can get for him.

How quickly the worm turns. Again. In just a little over a day after bv critiqued one of his league mates for acquiring Allen/Bibby/Wilcox for Paul/Odom/Walton, we learn that Allen is likely to start on Sunday while an MRI this morning on Odom revealed a torn labrum that could sideline him for the season. Funny ol' game, this My, oh my. How quickly the worm turns. Again.

I sent out from trade offers (Allen for Redd or Kevin Martin or Joe Johnson) now that Ray is seriously considering "season ending surgery" 3 dreaded words to Wade owners and fantasy owners alike. My was-perfect team: PG Steve Nash | SG Ray Allen | G Chauncey Billups | SF Gerald Wallace | PF Carlos Boozer | F Al Jefferson | C J.O'Neal | C Biedrins | Util Brandon Roy | Darko Milicic | BN J-Rich | Head | J-Will DAMN and I finally built a near fantasy Dream Team with Ray Allen.

Looks like a lot of us will be happy if Aldridge performs well. This blog is becoming extremely important for me... as I seem to have all the players being discussed. Interesting analysis on Blake and Stevenson. I actually dropped Blake last week for Stevenson, but I'll definitely keep an eye on those two and see what happens. I agree that Stevenson's value will likely drop (Butler & Jamison coming back tonight)... so I'm keeping an eye on a few point guards (Blake, Jason Hart, Watson, Damon Stoudamire, Claxton, Anthony Johnson) I picked up Aldridge too… and dropped Trenton Hassel.
