Wire to Wire - 02.05.07

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.

In what will likely be the biggest move of this NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers have made a deal to bolster their frontcourt.  Not only does this help the team, as Andrew Bynum is still on the shelf, it opens up a ton of room for someone to step up on the Grizzlies.  Could we possibly see some nice numbers from a former second-overall selection?  This week’s edition of Wire to Wire seems to think so.

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.

I want to apologize in advance for all of the swingmen listed in this week’s edition of Wire to Wire.  If anything, this shows us that we should never overpay for shooting guards and small forwards on draft day, as there is plenty of value on the wire within the first few weeks of the season.  Later on, we have to count on injuries and trades, but out of the gate is where we’ll see which roles that players have in their respective systems.  With that said, here are this week’s targets for your wholesome waiver wire additions.

Stat’s All Folks: Doing It Preseason Style!

I have to admit, I was brainstorming and thinking of different ways to write an introductory paragraph about how the NBA was back, but for some reason I just couldn’t come up with anything.  I wrote out the ubiquitous Star Wars reference about Episode V, but didn’t want to appear too fanboyish the first time out.  Then Apocalypse Now hit my head with that whole “I love the smell of…,” but thought of the connotations and chucked that idea.  Then the Rodney Dangerfield classic, Back to School came to mind and how the NBA doesn’t get any respect, but didn’t want to go on a diatribe validating the League. 

So, what am I saying?

I watch entirely too many movies, but I’m also way too excited about the NBA being back to think straight.  However, I’ll pop in Brad Pitt’s Meet Joe Black into the DVD player to bore me and calm my nerves enough to write this article.

(Ten minutes later; yeah, that quickly)

During the regular season, the aim of Stat’s All Folks will be to take a stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks.  I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.

Here’s the preseason installment of Stat’s All Folks.  Jagshemash, NB and A!
