Exchange Center: Week 5
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Site Features, Sleepers, Talent, Trades, Waiver Pick Ups
Ron Chow and I continue to watch our team roll in our Dropping Dimes experts league. We have held on to our first place ranking with a 28-8 record. As for the other Dime droppers, Dennis Velasco and Brandon Haraway sit in playoff position, 5th and 6th place, respectively. Sarge and his squad have struggled and rank 12th in a 14-team league. Who’s the caboose thus far? Jon Loomer from NBA.com and his “Loomer’s Losers” have been, well, losing. His team has averaged a 6-3 loss in league play thus far.
I have been checking out waiver wire articles from various sites, and more often than not, every player listed was drafted or was picked up many days ago. Hopefully by listing the pick-ups from 10-, 12- and 14-team leagues, you can get the sense of what is happening around the fantasy world, and land some of these blue chip waiver wire players.

Wire to Wire - 12.24.07
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 week in the books and another handful of injuries to report. It was not a good week to be a swingman as several big names (and some not-so-big) have fallen to the injury bug, allowing for a few more minutes to go around. If you’re an owner of Tracy McGrady, Manu Ginobili or Corey Maggette, you will definitely want to explore some short term options over the holiday week.

Rookie Review - 11.22.07

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.

After all of the ‘tweener types that we discussed last week, I did my best to incorporate some point men as well as a handful of big guys. The rotational issue in Toronto is killing a lot of owners, but a certain undrafted rookie may be benefiting. A career resurgence in Minnesota and an injury in New Jersey may be opening up that much more production for some that may have not received time otherwise. All this and more in this week’s edition of Wire to Wire.

Yi Jianlian, Milwaukee Bucks, We Hardly Knew Ya
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Rookies, Rumors, Trades, Milwaukee Bucks
What 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.
