Much needed Fantasy Basketball waiver wire advice

dudekid · 11-01-12, 11:29 AM

i mean your team isnt great but its not terrible either...a lot of hype going on right now about tiago splitter and i see he is available...you might want to trade one of your PGs since you have parker, ellis, terry, and jennings all eligible there...maybe see if you can package for a stud or just try to build up your weaker spots (sf is definitely a weak spot for you, its tough to find great SF this year outside of guys like durant and lebron, but its a good position to fill)

Thanks for the input bro. Which PG would you recommend dropping?

Anyone else?

dudekid · 11-01-12, 12:10 PM

im not recommending dropping any of those guys, but seeing what you can get for a trade...none of them (ellis, jennings, parker) are untradeable if you can get a good deal in return. if you have to drop someone i think the guys on your team you could drop are tony allen, biyombo, or harrington

Someone offered me Nash for Jennings. I'm a Lakers homer but still hesitant on pulling the trigger on that one.

You should cut those last 4 players on your list. Jordan Crawford and Vasquez are good pickups but you should try trading some players for a sf and sg. Your set at pg and pf

riffraff24 · 11-01-12, 01:38 PM

Okay I dropped Camby and Tony Allen and added Jordan Crawford and Vasquez. This is my current lineup.... Any more suggestions are much appreciated!

My team
Brandon Jennings - PG
Monta Ellis - SG/PG
Tony Parker - PG
Josh Smith - PF
Danny Granger - PF
Andrew Bynum - C
Carlos Boozer - PF/C
Jason Terry - PG/SG
Bismack Biyombo - PF/C
Al Harrington - PF/C
Jordan Crawford - PG/SG
Greivis Vasquez - PG/SG

Any SF suggestions?

riffraff24 · 11-01-12, 01:52 PM

Also just dropped Biyombo for J.J. Hickson. Updated lineup below...

My team
Brandon Jennings - PG
Monta Ellis - SG/PG
Tony Parker - PG
Josh Smith - PF
Danny Granger - PF
Andrew Bynum - C
Carlos Boozer - PF/C
Jason Terry - PG/SG
J.J. Hickson - PF/C
Al Harrington - PF/C
Jordan Crawford - PG/SG
Greivis Vasquez - PG/SG

Do you guys think this lineup is improved from the original I posted in the OP?

Jrod124 · 11-01-12, 03:58 PM

Your team is far from terrible. When Granger and Bynum come back from injury u are going to be fine. Jennings and Ellis will score a large percentage of the Bucks points. Hickson could be a beast and help in the blocks category. Josh Smith I think is going to put up huge numbers with JJ gone and he is now the "guy"

Give yourself more credit, not a bad draft at all

freeVICK · 11-01-12, 04:28 PM

I would get Jonas valanciunas and spencer hawes

riffraff24 · 11-01-12, 05:05 PM

Thanks guys. I will give you points tomorrow and the following day. Still haven't come around to getting out of scrub non-pro status so can only give 2pts a day

riffraff24 · 11-01-12, 05:07 PM

Yeah I know my team isn't terrible; but some of the teams in my league are absolutely stacked. One guy has Kobe, B.Griffin, K.Love, and D.Rose haha

Jrod124 · 11-01-12, 05:24 PM

Rose won't be back still after the All-Star break at the earliest, Love is going to miss at least a month maybe more and you can't expect him to be himself right out of the gate either. Griffin will kill the guys FT% category almost weekly.

Hopefully Granger gets back out there soon for you, sadly no timetable for his return

riffraff24 · 11-02-12, 01:36 AM

Good points

Vitooch · 11-02-12, 02:28 AM

Jonas Valanciaus should NOT be a free agent in any league. Also really like Vasquez, Aminu, Waiters, Crowder, and Kawhi Leonard

Grits n' Gravy · 11-02-12, 02:46 AM

Al Faroq and Bayless are worth Granger or Boozer

Vitooch · 11-02-12, 03:17 AM

Is that sarcasm? That's not a stacked team

I really appreciate all the advice guys... I am feeling a little better about my team going into next week.

romecloneout · 11-02-12, 10:55 PM
