Desmond Mason: Back to the Bucks

No thanks, I'll just dunk it

In a day that is pretty much saturated with the Tim Donaghy story, the Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard/forward Desmond Mason to a multi-year deal. 

This will be Mason’s second go ‘round with Milwaukee, as he was dealt to New Orleans right before the beginning of the 2005 season.  As many know, he never quite meshed well with the Hornets, and only had some (fantasy-type) successes when several members of the team went down with injury - namingly, Peja Stojakovic.

Yi Jianlian, Milwaukee Bucks, We Hardly Knew Ya

Buh-Bye MilwaukeeWhat can I say?  I’m itching to start dropping more and more science, so deal with this quick piece - I promise we’ll get rolling here soon!

ANYWAYS - Reports circulated today that Milwaukee Bucks draft pick, and sixth overall selection Yi Jianlian will not be coming to Milwaukee this season.  Not surprising news by any means given that Jianlian hasn’t contacted any reps of the Bucks since draft night.  Within the report, the Chinese representatives said the following:

“This is not—as media reports have said—because Milwaukee, as a city with very few Chinese people, is not good for Yi’s commercial development,” Chen said. “Rather we want to find a team suitable for Yi’s growth. That’s the root of the problem”

Well, even with this news being denied by Milwaukee, there will undoubtedly be some fantasy fallout.

Wire to Wire: 02.06.07

Sasha Pavlovic has stepped up his game as of lateWire 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.

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.
