Wire to Wire - 12.18.07

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups

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.

Another injury in Washington seems to have opened up some playing time for a few guys who were struggling to get touches as early as a few weeks ago.  If small-ball isn’t your thing, then take a gander at some of the “bigs” that we have going this week.  One of them fell threw the cracks last week, so here’s hoping that he fell through your leagues’ as well.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft Blog: Round 2, Pick 2

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Injuries, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southwest Division, New Orleans Hornets, Talent

Fig Cap: “Oh man, I’m going to put the sickest move on this guy, I’m about to crap my own shorts!”

Over here at Dropping Dimes, we love us some Chris Paul.  So much so, we sponsor his page on every stat/historical geek’s favorite basketball website, Basketball-Reference.com... ahem, hopefully, we’re every fantasy basketball geek’s favorite blog - thanks for the support by the way!  That’s also something every Hornets player on the other end of a CP3 dime says as well.  Paul has proven that he has all the tools and talent for being the next big thing as far as point guards go (Deron Williams be damned!) and soon enough (when Steve Nash and Jason Kidd finally keel over and retire), CP3 will be PG1.

Dropping Dimes Draft Blog: Round 7, Pick 4

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Atlantic Division, Toronto Raptors, H2H, Props, Roto, Talent

Round 7, Pick 4: TJ Ford, PG, Toronto Raptors

TJ Ford was one of those guys that were so under the radar last season that I was able to get him on nearly every team that I had, and for a much undervalued price due to his injuries from two seasons ago.  This season, the cat is out of the bag, and everyone is willing to “take a chance” on him.  You won’t get him for late-round value this season, but the dice is definitely worth the roll.

Plus, I already have the old Toronto Raptors point guard in Mike James, so why not draft the new one?
