Exchange Center: Week 5
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Site Features, Sleepers, Talent, Trades, Waiver Pick Ups
Ron Chow and I continue to watch our team roll in our Dropping Dimes experts league. We have held on to our first place ranking with a 28-8 record. As for the other Dime droppers, Dennis Velasco and Brandon Haraway sit in playoff position, 5th and 6th place, respectively. Sarge and his squad have struggled and rank 12th in a 14-team league. Who’s the caboose thus far? Jon Loomer from NBA.com and his “Loomer’s Losers” have been, well, losing. His team has averaged a 6-3 loss in league play thus far.
I have been checking out waiver wire articles from various sites, and more often than not, every player listed was drafted or was picked up many days ago. Hopefully by listing the pick-ups from 10-, 12- and 14-team leagues, you can get the sense of what is happening around the fantasy world, and land some of these blue chip waiver wire players.

Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time
It is admittedly getting tough to find some weekly additions from the waiver wire at this time of year. While we have the trade deadline looming, most of the transactions from here out will be based on either injuries or scheduling. Four-game weeks are going to become crucial as we head into the playoffs. Those that are behind on games in roto leagues will need to start making well-thought moves to get the game totals as close to 72 to as possible before it is all said and done. With that said, here are this week’s recommendations.

Beyond the Arc: Week 8

So, yeah, this is the debut of this column. I hope everyone likes it, as I’m filling in for Dennis Velasco and his “Fantasy Jump-Off,” because he has decided to take a leave of absence of sorts from the fantasy basketball world for bigger and better things. Best of luck to Dennis, and a big thanks from me and anyone who has ever worked with the guy or read his stuff and used it.
The Fig Cap: Now that is a sweet ‘do.

Last week was definitely a bit rough as several of my mentions either succumbed to injury or simply underperformed. Call it a jinx or call it poor timing, it just wasn’t a very fruitful exercise. Here’s to hoping that this week is a bit different!

Only a few nights back from All-Star weekend, and we’ve already had our first superstar go down with a major injury. All-World guard Dwyane Wade could miss up to six weeks with a separated shoulder. While this is truly unfortunate, it will provide a lot of opportunities for other players. Couple this with a few teams experiencing holes of their own, and we have ourselves yet another week of solid waiver wire potential.

Due to scheduling, the NBA didn’t exactly give us a large sample size to choose from over the last few games. Thankfully (depending on how you look at it), players in the Association do not need a lot of time to injure themselves, providing opportunities for the average fantasy basketball fan. While a few of these names may ring a bell, we’ve had a few new additions this week. The first men you should thank? Start with Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, as their annual injuries pave the way for the future stars of the NBA. On to this week’s recommendations.
