Trade Deadline Fall-Out
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Trades, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Seattle Supersonics
What a week it has been. Obviously, the Cleveland-Chicago-Seattle deal set the NBA ablaze last night. I personally can’t wait for tonight’s Cavaliers game where they currently have six active players. Seven if Anderson Varejao comes back early. Eight if they let me suit up. Either way, LeBron James could easily go for 50 points tonight, so keep an eye on the box score.
Everyone else? There has defintely been some adjustments in certain player value over the past 24 hours. Let’s see who’s stock is up, and who’s may not be as hot as it once was.

Wire to Wire - 12.31.07
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.
Can a week go by without a big-named player landing on the injury report? It’s not looking to be the case this week as two of the game’s more prominent small forwards will miss considerable time, and the possible Rookie of the Year may lose a bit of ground. Things are still quirky in the Big Apple, and a trade between Utah and Philadelphia may change the fantasy landscape for a few players. With that said, this will be the last Wire to Wire for 2007. Enjoy.

Hey all. Sorry for no Daily Drop today. By now you all should know that Amare Stoudemire had an amazing night, Kevin Martin will miss four-to-six weeks, and LeBron James’ finger may be worse than we had originally assumed. With that said…here’s this week’s edition of Wire to Wire. More Daily drops as the week rolls on!

Just Because: Minute Distribution
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Northwest Division, Seattle Supersonics
Nothing too huge to mention here, but I thought it was interesting to see the minutes that the Sonics have been giving Wally Szczerbiak as of late. Check out the box scores from the last several games.
It seems that Wally World is only safe starting every other game. What should be noted is that the Sonics have only won one of the past seven games - one of them that Szczerbiak received sub-20 minutes. He’s likely on the waiver wire in most leagues, so keep an eye on this development. That is, if anything even develops.
Dropping Dimes on the Daily – November 25, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups
Despite the Raptors/Pistons game starting in the middle of the day, the moon was shining brightly. Jamario Moon that is. In case you’re late to the Moon party, the undrafted 27-year-old rookie has started the Raptors last eight games at small forward and his athletic play is getting him noticed. Yesterday, the 6-8 forward erupted for the best line of his brief NBA career with 15 points, 9 boards, 3 steals and 6 blocks in the matinee victory. More info abou this Good Moon Rising after the jump.
The Fig Cap: His vertical leap is beyond all measurement. Don’t question it!

Stat’s All Folks: T-Mac Is Back!
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Atlantic Division, Central Division, H2H, Northwest Division, Pacific Division, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southeast Division, Southwest Division, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week 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.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from December 28th – January 3rd.
POINTS
BULLISH
Tracy McGrady, SG/SF, Houston Rockets
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 33.3 PPG; 56.5 FG%; 55.6 FT%
In the past week, McGrady has been playing like the T-Mac of old and not like an old T-Mac. In each of his three games, McGrady has scored 31, 38, and 31 points, respectively. And it hasn’t even been a fluke sort of deal where he just jacked up forty or more shots to get his points. Look at the field goal percentage above too. Taking 23 shot attempts per game on average is a lot, but again, look at that percentage from the floor! No wonder McGrady’s been scoring so much and it speaks well for his health as well, being able to hit that many baskets at a high rate. I won’t declare him “back” because of the lingering prospect of back spasms that sidelined T-Mac earlier this season, so throw out some feeler deals for more durable players. Otherwise, hold T-Mac and hope he stays healthy.
