    My favoite offer is on hold. It involved Curry and Jefferson but Palo is going to wait to see how Curry comes back. If that falls though...anything is possible. But until then, I gotta keep my guys intact.

    And I'm planning as if that trade works...which would leave me with a I'll send you a few trades.

      them 2 for who???    i'll take a peek at your proposals cause ManRam offered me Lopez/Crawford for Horford and i might negotiate something with him, problem is that makes me have to drop someone and id rather keep my team together cause im starting to move up in Rebs..  went from dead last (14th) to 9th in just 2 weeks..   i still cannot understand how Howard shoots so bad from the line.. i would work my ass off in the offseason and shoot thousands of FT's and bring in a specialist that has FT's down to a tee..   imagine if he was a 95% FT shooter..  it baffles me he continues to struggle from the line when its an uncontested shot 15 ft away     if i was the damn coach i would make him work with someone every offseason and at every practice he would do nothing but shoot FT's until he gets it...     

    i mean even my buddy ManRam could shoot 75%+ with no warmup in the middle of the night in his tighty whities....

    Imagine if he shot 70% from the line.

    Ellis is ranked 19th in rankings right now as a 70% FT shooter. Howard kills you because he shoots SOOO MANY FTs at around 50-55% that no matter how good your other guys are...he hurts you worse. Bogut is around 46% from the line with around 90 attempts but that doesn't hurt you as much as Howard. It's terrible. Which is why I had to get rid of that cancer. To believe I passed up Dirk and many others for him. That's what I get for doing it for the first time. Can't turn back time so I gotta fix whatever I can.

    Well...I got 2 deals for you there. Harrington is a big player when Melo gets traded...but he doesn't fit my needs as much as a PG would.

    Well...I got 2 deals for you there. Harrington is a big player when Melo gets traded...but he doesn't fit my needs as much as a PG would.

    The ball's in your court. I'm sure we can work something out somehow.

    Why do my guys always have big nights when I have them on the bench?!?!?!?

    I forgot to adjust my lineup before gametime so Arenas is stuck on the bench having a well rounded night. SOB.

    I remember throwing him at people earlier in the season. Glad I still have him. He's scored 17+ in his last 5 games and he's getting more blocks than I expected and is a good rebounder.

    I find it remarkable that ManRam still wants to try and make his team BETTER. I can't see any problems in that team other than another bench player for 3's. He'd probably love if Bibby was still on the market. It would really fit his needs.

    since howard has joined my team ive dropped 2 spots in FT% but gained 5 spots in Rebs, 1 spot in Blocks and 1 spot in FG% for an overall increase in League stats for the season and thats the #1 goal. i know he's a cancer on FT% but if i didnt get him id still dead last in Rebs and dead last in Blocks so i cant really complain..  tonight he shot 58% from the line..

    as far as them trades im undecided sparky, Arenas and Harrington have brutal FG% and will you please Stop already with the "Melo trade" as your bait for harrington being an upside.. you been using that for well over a month now.. He's a bad shooter..  

    that deal with him in it i'll decline cause i lose out on multiple catagories while gaining really just some 3's, i lose on FG%/FT%/Asst/Stls

    still looking at the other one..

    Achem (clearing throat)...I have no problems keeping Harrington. You watch man...when Melo is gone...he'll be scoring around 20 a game. Bank on that my friend.

    If you want to be sold on Lopez...just check his games since returning from his injury. He's been playing very well. DeAndre Jordan is available too if you want to add to your blocks. I added that one to the mix as well if you're interested.

    Jordan seems to never miss. He was 7-7 the other day and, well, hardly misses. However...his FT% is dreadful. But that leads me to the point about Howard. It doesn't hurt your team as much because he doesn't take nearly as many shots as Howard whose nearing 300 while Jordan is nearing 60.

    He's also a better blocker than Lopez if you're looking to add to that category.

Bogut is around 46% from the line with around 90 attempts but that doesn't hurt you as much as Howard. It's terrible. Which is why I had to get rid of that cancer. To believe I passed up Dirk and many others for him. That's what I get for doing it for the first time. Can't turn back time so I gotta fix whatever I can.

    i also made alot of mistakes in every fantasy draft so far, baseball was my 1st ever fantasy sport and i made alot of stupid picks but learned alot in the process...  NFL draft i got killed with selecting Moss as my #1 pick (11th overall) and that really hurt me throughout the season. i also grabbed Benson then Beanie Wells B2B with draft picks and that hurt cause wells had an awfull season.. to think i could've had Roddy White or C.Johnson or Multiple good RB's instead of Moss is a tough one but it can only help me for the next time.. Hoops draft i think i did ok with but didnt really draft according to Roto style cause i didnt know what it was exactly until i see now how they do scoring ...  hopefully i can learn and continue to make improvements each year when we draft and someday i'll be on Powerade and ManRam's level, you know the fantasy Guru's

    I also know we both made the mistake to draft defensive ends in our first years in IDP leagues. Looking for the best sack guys when we should simply look for the best tackle guys.

    Learning experience for sure.

    MY TEAM IS F'IN STACKED yet i have been dropping LIKE A ROCK this past week. I may just hang on for a little bit and let my trades work their way out. With the addition of Odom and Amare its only a matter of time im in the top 2 or 3 in rebounds and blocks.

    Yes...you get the stats. But it doesn't mean you automatically get 200 rebounds added to your stats.

    Dude...you traded Bargnani for Odom and Amar'e. Lets be honest...if you think you lost something something in Nick Young and Farmar...you're just being greedy. You basically gave up 3 pointers in anticipation of Joe Johnson coming back. Sure 14 in every category is nice...but 14 3PTM and 3 blocks does what for you? 11 3PTM and 14 Blocks gets you the goods. So you lost Ray Allen...oh well...you have pleanty of 3s elsewhere and hell...if you really wanted...you could trade Blachte for a guy like Bibby whose sole purpose is to wait for 3s. And when you get Crawford back...add more 3s to the list.

    If you keep your team the way it is and move, at the most, Blatch, your team is just about flawless.

    I still don't know what Roundin was thinking making that trade. All it does is assure him he finishes #1 in 3s.

    He's 8 in blocks which is going to go WAAAY down. His top blocker is Amir Johnson at 32. After that it's Bargnani at 19. He has a total of 5 players with 10 or more blocks.

    His FG% is going down from ranked 14.

    He does have a pretty damn good FT% though.

    But he rebounds are going to freefall from the 10 he has now.

    He'll be good in assists...but Odom alone could have brought in a good PG.

    His TO goes down.

    I just don't know what he was thinking when he made this trade. He could have gotten a much better (more well rounded) return if he looked for one. I just don't get it!!!!!

    I'm bitter because I want those guys.
