it'll be real interesting to say the least

especially with me and dynasty having no picks early.

I wouldve never made those trades though knowing you can get new contracts every year like that though

Which is a terrible philosophy considering I do 3 sports in one year.

Hey, phillyfan...the Giants do NOT suck. And that's for the Birfday gift. I hope to be collecting more after this year. But remember that we don't have this bet on the keeper league. I just don't like it for that sport because it doesn't allow me to sell if I'm in the gutter or vice virsa.

He's got a lot of boards but I don't plan on winning that category anyway. Nor am I even going to come close in points so the only thing that's really being hurt is FG%.

Oh well.

Yes. Hoops is still on.

And I'm not doing the non-keeper. Already in one with some of my buddies who I CAN beat so I'll stay there and in the keeper.

You wouldn't know it, by my place in the standings.... But yeah I pretty much know my shit when it comes to NHL...lol, but hey that's fantasy sports for you... It's funny cause I'm second place in a league I do with my buddies, we do a rotto style league. And I'm 5 points outa 1st... And we are ultra competitive....there have been huge fights and all... It's one of those type of leagues lol

Im thinking that there are too many PGs...  bibby, douglas, lin, baron and at one time shumpert... bibby and douglas both take up those 15 minutes you are speaking of currently... so someone has to go...

the knicks could deal any of those players to upgrade for more depth perhaps with a back up for chandler or a rebounder that doesnt need to shoot the ball...

fingers crossed, just think of melo this year compared to pierce a few years back.  a scorer, ball stopper, never a real winner...everyone questioned if he would be able to play not dominating the ball.  then come Ray Allen, KG, and a year later rondo and pierce has been playing some of his best team bball of his career.  so as a knicks fan im hoping he fills into the scorer roll the team will eventually need (when they arent playing shit teams), amare/chandler & lin pick and roll as well as distributing, shump/fields splitting time at SG depending on game flow.

im prob biased but i hated the original knicks trade for melo, you can ask john...donnie didnt want to give up the whole team and that young core but dolan wanted another name. so im hopeful melo will take his place on the team as the go-to scorer but not a ball stopper


I like the pierce analogy...

So chandler and amare are like garnett and allen...

lin = rondo... shumpert = tony allen

That is the scenario i am worried about...

and if you think about it there is a lack of depth at the SG position so baron switching to that role might make sense...

And I agree with ManRam...Baron shouldn't get much playing time.


It makes more sense to be for  JR to join the clippers in terms of their need to replace chaunceys production... but perhaps linsantity has JR thinking that it is destiny for him to be a part of the hype/attention and join up with his old teammate mello...

I actually think mello would be unstoppable in a pick and roll situation with lin... kinda  like a stockon and malone combo...

I think thats why shumpert will always get minutes because of his effort on defense... similar to raja bell when dantonni coached the suns...

What do you think the 4th quarter line up will be?

lin, mello, amare, chandler and...

It's gotta be Shumpert unless he's having an absolutely dreadful night. In a close game, of course. When they need points...JR Smith would be in. But I gotta feel for Novak because he's been killing it and now will only see garbage minutes.
