Poll QuestionTwo Officially Closed, Time for our Third Poll

Well well well, it seems that Carmelo was and away the choice to sell high and I couldn't agree more. If you timed it right after he posted a career high scoring game, you'd have nailed it and likely walked away with a high Tier Two or even Tier One player. If ya did, great job! Carmelo's value has gone down a bit since then, though mainly in every category BUT points.

Anyway, Gallinari was a close second. My boy Paz held him in our league and made a key Sell High on him just last week for Monta Ellis, now THAT's a deal! Pierce and Deng came in last, close to each other. Deng I can see, he hasn't slowed much yet, but Pierce has come down especially in FG% since then! I guess it's all about WHO you can get for the Sell High player.

In keeping with that thought, this weeks Poll Question goes a little deeper. I'll list four Buy Low players, but I include their likely cost in a trade. Let's see who our fantasy basketball crew thinks is the best guy to go after.

And just for our records, we had the sell high votes at:

Melo = 39%
Gallinari = 30%
Deng = 16%
Pierce = 13%

    Hey Thief,

    I love the site! You provide the best advice of all the roto sites put together.

    Here is my team and my secret sauce stats:

    Frye
    Joe Johnson
    Przybilla
    Bibby
    Tony Parker
    Mayo
    Dirk
    Aldridge
    Brook Lopez
    Jason Thompson
    Jameer Nelson
    Ariza
    Richard Jefferson
    Gallinari

    Secret Sauce:
    Pts 15.6
    Ast 2.72
    Rebs 5.98
    Treys 1.08
    Steals .88
    Blks .72

    Note: Nelson not included in secret sauce numbers. Recently acquired from the waivers.

    10-man H2H league with 14 cats. FG%,Ft%, 3pt%,3ptm,ftm,pts,orebs,drebs,rebs,asts,stls,
    blks,TO,fouls. (Yeah I know the commish is a bit obsessive with the stats lol.) Which is why I punt Fouls,TOs, and FTM.

    I'm currently 1st in the league. However, other managers are gaining on me. I know I am in dire need of assists & stls.

    What advice can you give to acquire CP3, D. Williams, Rondo, Nash, or Westbrook? I just saw Gallinari light up the Bulls with 6 treys. Also, Frye is a good source of treys too that I can part with. I need to get rid of RJ & Bibby as well. Especially when Nelson comes back.

    Thanks for your advice!

    whats good thief, I was wondering what good guard i can get in a 2-1 by giving up bibby and hill(stringing together some nice games)

    i can only think of rose, can it happen? and got any other guards in mind for that value?

    Equawn, I like you makin the offers you insinuated. That is Bibby, RJ and Gallinari for Deron or Nash or Paul. Send those three out an see who bites. I have a feeling you'll find some WW guys to fill the holes if a 3-1 deal goes down.

    Yizzie, what it be playa. Bibby's value is down, So it's tough. Rose is one sure, or Nelson, or Mo Will, or Rondo, or Harris.

    LA, low on treys heavy on boards, the mayo trade is perfect. I'd like to see u get Okafor on that team too, illyasova wouldve been good to offer for him. Also, deng needs to be dealt. He's a points boards guy, we can cash him in here and get back a more rounded player.

    Pavel, I HATE vetoes! Try either dunleavy or milsap for Okafor. Good luck!

    okay, this is my roster...12teams H2H
    Gs : Nash, Westbrook, Evans, Iverson, SJax, TMac
    F/Cs: J.Smith, Gallinari, Love, Dunleavy, Przybilla, Duncan...

    secret sauce:
    Points: 15.41
    Rebounds: 6.04
    Assists: 3.93
    Treys: 0.9
    Steals: 0.93
    Blocks: 0.84
    TMac is not included b/c he only played 2 games thus far..

    i just traded away Nene and M.Gasol for Duncan, so i have one more spot left...
    who do you think is more fit with this line up?
    Lou Will or Tyrus Thomas?

    i'm leaning towards to Lou Will but thats (avg-season) stats said i need more rebounder/blocker...

    thanks!
    nice site, by the way!

    LA, I like your squad, I like that deal too, you gave up a lot, but you had it to give n u got CP3 back. I'd like to see u try deng n ersan for GWall, he'd be a perfect piece for you to add.

  10. DipsetDecember 18, 2009 at 8:11 AM

    yea i did give up alot, but i felt paul was well worth it. i actually dont have illysova anymore, due to that trade.

    my new team:

    paul,deron, calderon, lou will
    ariza, mayo, j rich, deng, thaddus young
    b lopez, noah, scola, barngni

    our FA wire is very thin, so i will attempt a 2 -2 trade

    i have actually been tryin for weeks to get either wallace or josh smith, having little luck.

    i sent j rich and deng for josh smith and eric gordon (worth a shot)

    how about if i sent calderon and deng for g wall?

    i could pick up either udrih, conly,ridnour, cahlmers. who do u think?

    Hey Theif,

    If the Bibby, RJ, Gallo trade for either Nash, CP3, or Rondo doesnt go down? Can you give me 2 for 1 that I could pull off with ease. I'm heavy on Rebs and Blks. I have quite a bit of PF and need to lock up a Tier 2 PG.

    Thanks again!
