Sunday Free Team Analysis

Every Sunday, while watching my fantasy football team continue to dominate, I'll offer out my Fantasy Basketball advice to you. Leave me your lineup in the comments section to this post, and I'll go through as many as I can and give my opinion on who you should DEAL and who you should GET to DOMINATE.

    David Lee
    Anthony Morrow
    Andrei Kirilenko
    Amar'e Stoudemire
    Al Horford
    Emeka Okafor
    Richard Hamilton
    Aaron Brooks
    Rodney Stuckey
    Paul Pierce
    Marc Gasol

    Who do I get rid of? Who do I keep? Who do I search for in trades?
    Any tips you can offer will be great! Thank you!

  2. Hey, thanks for stopping by. I'll have to assume you're in a standard league format? You're short assists, points and threes, long boards and blocks. I'd try to deal Gasol (sell high) for Derrick Rose (buy low) for the assists, and I'd also try to sell Kirilenko high for Stephen Jackson (buy low) to snag points and three's. This should offer an immediate impact

  3. Thank you for your opinion! Any other players on my team I should keep an eye on to "sell high"? How about other players who are not on my team that I should "buy low"? I've read most of your recent posts, so I know of a few.

    If I cannot get Jackson for Kirilenko (because my friend is really stingy with her team), who else from my other friends' team should I try to get with Derrick Rose for M. Gasol and Kirilenko?

    His team consists of:

    Jose Calderon
    Tracy Mcgrady
    Derrick Rose
    Corey Maggette
    Al Jefferson
    Al Harrington
    Christ Kaman
    Brandon Jennings
    Dwight Howard
    Ben Gordon
    Gilbert Arenas
    Antawn Jamison

    Thank you again!

  4. Sure no problem, I love this stuff. Youcould easily swap in Ben Gordon and score much the same stats there. I like Arenas too, but the FG% will kill you. Scre Gordon and Rose for Kirilenko and Gasol and DOMINATE

  5. Hey, someone posted your site in the yahoo fantasy league message board...

    Anyhow I have two teams. First league: 10 players, H2H, 13 roster spots, 8 cats, no TO's.
    My team:
    S. Nash
    J Crawford
    Bosh
    Oden
    Bynum
    C Lee
    Villanueva
    S Jackson
    Arenas
    Pierce
    K Love
    Garnett
    R Lewis

    I just accepted a trade- Give: Frye & J Terry, Get: Garnett and R Lewis. Comments? I also just picked up C Lee, Villanueva and Love off the FA pool.
    Other 'talents' there: J Nelson, Griffin, Millsap,R Jefferson, TJ Ford,Duhon, Felton Sessions,M. MIller, Stojakovic,R Brewer, J Oneal,Battier,McGrady,Yi,Gooden,T Williams,lowry, dudley,J Williams, ilyasova, taj Gibson.
    What cat's can i win? this is still the first week of matchups and this team won't be all together until tuesday, when the trade goes through. what players should i trade/target?



    Second league: this one's more important to me as its with friends. 12 teams, roto, 16 roster spots(4 bench), 9 cats. I'm 2nd. One guy is inactive. No max moves, so I have a spot(sometimes two) where i add/drop players daily. Team:
    Billups
    Ben gordon
    Ty Lawson
    Kirilenko
    stoudemire
    G. Hill
    Casspi(add/drop spot)
    M.Gasol
    K.Perkins
    Varejao
    Troy Murphy
    Mo Williams
    Ray Allen
    Odom
    Ben Wallace
    eric Maynor(add/drop spot)

    I've given up on TO's. I need points desperately. FT% is dropping badly. 3 guys are runaway leaders with pts, but two more just passed me and i need to catch them--just 200 ahead for now.
    Any advice? Who to trade/keep? i know someone really wants gasol but i decided to keep him.

    Thanks in advance.

  6. For starters, we'll just pass on your first team. I'm not sure if everyone just isn't playing or what, thats a heck of a lineup! Of all the WW players, Jerm is the one to keep an eye on. Oh, and that trade was NASTY!

    OK on to the important league. My advice, deal Gasol, deal Kirilenko, and try snagging Caron Butler and Stephen Jackson on the cheap. Your team is short on solid SF type players. Ones who score solid points and then contribute elsewhere. These two additions should add an impact right away, and you won't be giving up much.

    Marc Gasol is definitely a Sell High candidate

  7. Thank you for taking your time (it's too bad I did not know about this blog earlier).

    This is my team (standard 12 team H2H):
    A. Brooks
    E. Gordon
    B. Jennings
    Rajon Rondo
    Caron Butler

    Jason Thompson
    Elyasova
    Michael Beasley
    Tyrus Thomas
    Anthony Randolph
    Ben Wallace
    Erick Dampier
    Andrea Bargnani
    Brook Lopez

  8. my team is really strong in 3's and good in points. So I'm thinking of dealing my boy Granger, ya dig? What do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yup you're in desperate need of a big man! Good thing this is a year where there's plenty to go around. I would say, do NOT deal Granger. He is too valuable, too consistent to move. You have other players that are perfect SELL HIGH candidates right now in Thompson and Illyasova, see if you can't package up those two for a strong big. I'd also like to see you with a better PG than Brooks and Jennings. I'm sure you've heard me touting D Rose, but I think he fits well wit your squad. Move Thompson for him, then look to deal Illyasova and maybe Wallace for a legit big like Oden.

    Now go DOMINATE

    ReplyDelete
  10. Even with oden foul problems and such, you still trust him?

    In any case, thanks a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  11. What's your opinion on Devin Harris? Do you believe he is a "buy low" with his stats this year? Keep or Trade away?

    ReplyDelete
  12. The trade was 'nasty'? as in terrible for me? LOL... clarify.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hi there, I am Yahoo 14-team 9 CAT H2H league (daily lineup), everyone is very active

    Just lost Oden today, so very light on Centres and BLKs will be tough to win going forward. Will like to hear from you on:
    -how to strengthen this team
    -who on the team can be dropped for a hot FA

    LeBron James
    Gerald Wallace
    Brook Lopez
    Tony Parker
    Eric Gordon
    John Salmons
    Troy Murphy
    Greg Oden (likely to replace with Chuck Hayes)
    Jason Thompson
    Jonny Flynn
    Courtney Lee
    Beno Udrih
    Rudy Fernandez
    Quentin Richardson

    Thanks,
    Ger

  14. What you think about Brandon Roy? Would you give Brandon Roy and Rodney Stuckey for Derrick Rose and Gilbert Arenas?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Inderdunfluence: trade was NASTY good for you, well done! The Fantasy Thief enjoys a good lopsided deal like that. BUY LOW SELL HIGH!

    Ffejjalapeno: Brandon Roy is a pivotal piece to a team, i wouldn't deal him under any circumstances. However I do like you offering Stuckey (sell high) for Rose (buy low)!

    Anony: you gotta drop Udrih or QRich and get Joel Pryzbilla ASAP. I just snagged him myself. You won't lose any production with him in the lineup. I'll post if I find any solid Buy Low Bigs.

    Ffjjalapeno: my next buy low will include a blurb about Devin Harris. Good looking out there, it appears you're catching on quikly!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yup, for starters Udrih isn't much help. And I'd definitely be selling Terry highe here (he'll be listed in my upcoming post). Look to add Butler to your roster in a deal for those two. Butlers steals will be a big boost for you going forward.

    Good luck, and go Dominate

  18. Hey, should I trade perkins? What would the impact of Glen Davis' return be on perkin's value? How would Rasheed fit in with the C's rotation?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Great question! And given that I'm a Bostonian, it's one that I have a lot of insight on. I'll spotlight Perkins in today's post.

    ReplyDelete
  20. My team posted was the one with Lebron. I lost oden and Pryzbilla is unavailable. I took Haslem off the waiver as replacement. I read ur analysis on Harris and found it very interesting. I have a crazy idea:

    James + xx for Harris + Horford

    I get a good PG and a good C back.. This other team also has pau gasol, arenas, tyreke.

    What are ur thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I definitely advise against dealing LBJ, once you get a player like him, he should immediately go under the untradable status (except if you're getting CP3 back).

    I like adding Aldridge to your squad, see if you can't finagle him for maybe Thompson and udrih. I'd also like to see you get Harris, but the goal is to get him cheap. So be patient.
