[…] One of our favorite little tricks here is the ‘buy fake high’ or the ’sell fake low,’ where basically you get some other owner to think they’re buying low or selling high when really, the player is as good/as bad as he’s performing. Confused? Tough. Anyhow, a couple weeks ago DM went over some Buy Fake High candidates - now let’s go over some Sell Fake Low’s. […]

which one of those guys would you rather have on your team? 10 team h2h league…

Nate Robinson - always put up numbers when given the playing time, I like him a bit in this case because I’m looking for threes and steals.

Martell Webster - dropped him last night to pickup Randy Foye, but I can find a spot for him if I wanted to

Antoine Wright - News is out that Carter might miss 3 weeks, Wright will be given plenty of playing time and might put up some good numbers

The Starbury fallout is changing by the minute. As of right this second, the only player on the Knicks I’m comfortable with is the perennially underrated Jamal Crawford. Nate Robinson could have some monster games and he could have plenty of 3-for-17 games. He’s like the Curry of guards, too, because he doesn’t get many “extra” stats besides 3s.

i just offered up durant and stojakovic for hinrich and tinsley. What do you think? Where is Durant’s value right now anyway? How valuable a fantasy player do you think he’ll be throughout the course of the season. I can see him putting up 19 ppg with 5 rbs 2 assists and 2-4 tos per game. I think he’s a sell high candidate because his potential is looked at highly, but he’s still a rookie and I don’t think he’ll get enough peripheral stats.

Do you guys have any opinions on who the worthwhile players will be in the Starbury fallout? I was intrigued by Mardy Collins but now it looks like he’s hurt. I don’t think I’d trust Nate Robinson on my fantasy team, not even with 30+ MPG…

I should have waited…

See comment in other article for discussion of my team… but I think if you have Kaman and you can get a legit 3rd or 4th rounder you have to do it… I was able to parlay him in Baron Davis… and I think it is a good deal - his value is at an all-time high right now - and I think you got to pull th etrigger especially if you have a glut of centers as I did (Ming, Milicic, Murphy, Al Harrington, B. miller and Diop)… I needed point guard - assists, steals and threes - and I went for the ultimate risky pick here - BUT - you have to make trades to succeed… if you own him - trade Kaman now… he is off to a beastly start and you will be able to get better value than you shoul dfrom that guy in your elague with no centers who wants to dream it will continue all season!
