Beyond the Arc: Week 8
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features
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.

Rookie Review - 11.22.07
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Props, Rookies, Talent
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! With four weeks nearly in the books, I thought it would be a good idea to review what this season’s freshman class has delivered our way thus far.
Rookies are usually the hype of all fantasy drafts, but unlike the other major fantasy sports, you’ll only have a select few that provide consistent value. This season, the word “few” may even be stretching it. Let’s dig in…
The Fig Cap: Seattle is thankful for Kevin Durant. Soon, Oklahoma City will be thankful for…Kevin Durant.

The Fig Cap: Milk is chillin’... I am chillin’... What more can I say, top billin’.
For those of you that were waiting for the return of Dwyane Wade, to a lesser degree, Ron Artest, and to an even lesser degree, Stephen Jackson, your patience will be rewarded this coming week with a full set of games for the week. But before we get down with what individual players have been doing and could possibly continue to do, it’s time to peep the number of games each NBA team has going on in Week Four of the fantasy basketball season.
Also check out DroppingDimes.com’s Rankings for Week Four where we breakdown the top 20 players at each position!

Dropping Dimes Staff Rankings: Week 4
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features
Dwyane Wade and Ron Artest are fully back, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter are out. Yes, the first injury bug has finally hit. Start keeping your eyes peeled to the boxscores people, free agent pickups win leagues. In lieu of these returns, Wade and Artest work their way into our top 15, and Carter gets bumped out. It’s only day-to-day for T-Mac, so we’ll see on that one. Anyways, let’s roll out the schedule…
The Fig Cap: Hey isn’t Jon Barry supposed to be in a suit too?
Note: Yao Ming is NOT injured… yet. Please do not bench him.

The Fantasy Jump Off - Week Three

The Fig Cap: Who doesn’t like boobies… err, Boobie’s game.
Another week in fantasy basketball land and we’re starting to see some players stepping up their game and establishing themselves (Daniel Gibson, Ronnie Brewer, Francisco Garcia) or RE-establishing their fantasy value (Chris Kaman, Richard Jefferson) – but for how long? We’ll look into this and other things to think about for the upcoming week. But, first let’s look at how many times each team plays next week…

Fifty-Five Fantasy Fantasies
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent
The opening night of the NBA is upon us. While I wish that the Golden State/Utah game was one of the two nationally televised games, I guess I can live with San Antonio and Portland. I saw enough of the Spurs last summer – remember, my Cavs got swept by them in the Finals. However, I will be watching that game not for Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, but LaMarcus Aldridge and Martell Webster. Yep, only a fantasy hoops fan would watch a game because of Martell Webster. We’ll even throw a little Travis Outlaw in there and call it a night.
With that said, I had a chance to read NBA.com’s Where 62 Amazing Things Happen, and decided that it’d be cool to pump out a list of my own. Oh, and this list will obviously tilt it towards fantasy basketball – as this is, in fact, a fantasy basketball blog.
In no specific order…here are 55 things I wish to come true during this year’s fantasy hoops season. Enjoy.

2007-08 Trade Impact
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories:
It happens every year - that big offseason trade to turn the fantasy world on its ears. Or does it?
Well, this year it certainly did and in more than one deal. Seattle blew up its roster, Boston revamped theirs, two big-time shooters went down South, and one fat forward is in the Big Apple. All this AND more! So what are the bigger trades of the offseason, and how do they affect how you should be drafting your fantasy team?
