Now that the NBA trade deadline is done and gone, let’s take a look at some players that you might want to target on the waiver wire. We all know that when a player is traded from one team to another that there is a good chance that his fantasy value will change, whether it be for better or worse.
But, on the flip side, there are new opportunities available sometimes when a starting player is shipped out and the shipping team is left with a vacancy at a starting position. Here is a list of some players that might be available on your waiver wire that you should take a look at.
Beno Udrih- Now that Kevin Martin and Sergio Rodriguez have been shipped out of town, Udrih will have every chance to redeem himself and revert back to the form he had when he got that lucrative extension from the Kings a few years ago. He could get you 15 pts. 4 assists, a steal and good free throw % each night.
Andray Blatche- With Brendan Haywood and Antawn Jamison gone, Blatche should be rostered in all formats. He will see plenty of minutes and has shown in the past that he can be a fantasy starter. Expect double digit scoring, 8+ rebounds, around 1 block and a good field goal % each game.
Drew Gooden- After being traded to the Clippers, he should see an increase in minutes which you can expect his standard line of 7 rpg, 1 block and half a steal. He should compliment Chris Kaman nicely and be able to flaunt his decent mid-range jumper from the PF position.
Sergio Rodriguez- If D’Antoni decides to start Rodriguez for the long run, he could flourish in that system. D’Antoni has had his problems with his PG this year and he’s probably going to look for some stability from Rodriguez. I personally don’t see how anybody wouldn’t benefit from that system.
