jj reddick...due his drunk driving and undersize statue, limited athletism, he will fall to the 18th pick.  Due the lack of talent on that team and his inability to play with other players, he will be one of those great college players who never makes it the NBA, he will then coach in europe, then at Duke....\n\nGood luck!!!!

Possibly you are already eliminated from playoff contention. Thats how it works in my league. When you are mathmatically eliminated. You are locked from picking up or dropping players.Sorry.

The Pacers are not a playoff team. Jermaine O'Neal is a solid player and Stephen Jackson can be consistent but they do not have a good core group. They could have been a playoff team had they not traded Peja Stojakovic but they let the fact that he missed four games in the playoff be the deciding factor in him leaving.

why should they throw it to him? , he doesn't want to be there and on the NFL channel he admitted he drops passes on purpose so he will be traded!, they need to bench him and take away his team captain position!

It really depends on what your team needs.  With O'Neal you get a PF/C who can give you minutes, points, rebounds, and blocks.  However, he has a history of injuries and has already missed a game for the Pacers this early into the NBA season.\n\nIn Allen, you can put your three point conversions to bed.  He is solid!  Aside from the threes, Ray-Ray gives you minutes, FT%, points, and would you believe, steals this season.\n\nHope this helps. Good luck this season!\n\nIf you are interested in joining another Yahoo!

Picking up Amare is the right choice. However do NOT expect him to see any playing time until the last week in February or the first week in March. The Suns are going to side with caution to be close to 100% certain he's fully recovered before giving him action. His knee is progressing well, but the Suns need him for the end of the season and the playoffs so anything earlier is literally out of the question!

Jackson is a vet with old legs. The regular season will wear him down.  When the playoffs start he'll get more minutes because he has been through the playoff wars and he can still shoot. Look for JJ in April & May

I can't get it out of my head that the Knicks will end up with him somehow. I don't know why the Pacers would want any of the Knicks' current players, but all these facts occur to me:\n\n1. Artest wants to go there\n2. They want him (which you can't say about at least half the teams in the NBA)\n3. Isiah Thomas gets deals done\n4. The Pacers need to deal in a hurry\n5. It'll placate Knick fans for about five minutes (which is pretty good.)

That's what I read on hoopshype.com this morning. The rumor was that Philly would send Iverson to Boston in exchange for Wally Szczerbiak and the Celtics #7 pick.\n\nIf I were the Sixers I wouldn't make this deal. Wally is hurt quite a bit, and even with a relatively high pick this is a very weak draft. Philly would be getting short-changed.

I love PJ. Who doesn't like this guy? Here's the deal. PJ is great but he is not a true center. He has played out of position for almost 2 years now and the hornets need a younger starting Center. It's a very tough decision to make. The team will lose a lot if they trade him because he is the heart and soul of this team and he does play hard every game and is the role model that the younger players need to have. He also knows the system and can help the new players learn it faster. If the Hornets can get a center for brown and jr smith I saw do it. I'm not too hot on Tyson Chandler from the bulls but that's who I think they are after. I want someone like Diop or Dampier from the Mavericks. Brown can't be the hornets starting center anymore. It's just not practical. He needs to be a backup yet the rookies aren't ready to start so a trade makes sense. Also, remember Brown's in the last year of his contract which pays him 8mil, the hornets need to free up some cap space for the new free agents: Peja, Bobby Jackson, etc. If I were the GM I would sign speedy to a 5 million one year contract and trade him and PJ Brown to the Pistons for Ben Wallace. A sign and trade would be smart in this situation. The pistons might do that. They like speedy. Who knows.\n\nAll I know is,\nI don't want to see them part ways but I just think it's time. Brown deserves to go to a championship team. I want to see him win a title before he retires. The man deserves it.

Kristjan,  \n\nYou will not be seeing and injured list at Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball this season or likely any season in the future until the NBA goes through another rule change. \n\nPrior to the 2005-2006 season the NBA got rid of the Injured List in real life. Previously there were a number of conditions on injured list moves and restrictions on how long they had to be out etc. The NBA did away with all of that and instead increased the roster size of the teams. The theory being that if you had a couple of injured players you would still be able to put a competitive team out there due to the added men on the team. \n\nThe Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball structure is designed to mirror NBA rules in this manner, so before the last season Yahoo! also did away with the Injured List. Your league commissioner had the ability to adjust the number of bench spots available before the season started. I believe the default is three bench spots but your league commissioner could have set it higher to make up for the lack of an injured list. \n\nI appreciate the added level of difficulty this brings to the game, it is unfortunate to have to think about dropping a top player because he is injured, but take solace in the fact that all of your competitors have the same challenges.\n\nBest of luck.

Yes, right before the trade deadline for expiring contract of Penny Hardaway, who was waived right after getting traded to Orlando, as well as small forward Trevor Ariza.  Probably the most horrible move by the Knicks this season, but Isiah Thomas said he wanted him to play with Marbury in a 2006 version of Dumars-Thomas.  Problem is both need the ball, both shoot rather than pass, and both can't play defense.  Look for one of them to be traded this offseason, probably marbury in what may be a reunion with Kevin Garnett

Nope...Father Time is collecting his dues in Miami this year...Age and wear reduce the effectiveness/desire/etc of Shaq... Payton and Mourning are well over the hill, too...Wade will be great for years, but he can't do it all this year

Well I am a Mavericks fan so lets look realisticly at what might happen....The Heat have Shaq killer center whos gettign a little age on him not a fast guy but he can block some shots and rebound...Can the old man keep up with one of the NBA's fastest teams? Will Dampier and  Diop be able to keep the man under semi control? well I say that the old man will be ok...but still defensively gonna wear himself out....Now that Wade fella he's  really talented but Dallas has already discovered that Howard can completely shut down Nash...so I'm sure he can do reasonably well against Wade...If not Dallas has so much depth at gaurd that they can easily wear him down...Dirk ....I said Dirk...Who on Miami is going to even slow this man down? Josh Howard? who do you put on Josh Howard? can your team run and gun with the Mavericks? Do they have the depth to stay rested? can the big old man sink a free throw at the end of a close game...or at anytime during the game for that matter...Sorry Miami fans its been fun but its over.

Well if the game tonight didn't answer your question I don't know what will.  Just when you think Jones is worthless, he comes up with a day like today and proves himself more worthless than you originally thought.  But without knowing who's on your waiver wire, it's hard to say wether or not to drop him.  But I will say this, every week he seems to prove himself less and less a part of the Dallas offense.  That is never a good thing to have in one of your runningbacks.  I am sure that it's probably past the trade deadline in your league (if there is one), so that's outta the question.  If Maurice Jones-Drew, Laurence Maroney, DeAngelo Williams, Justin Fargas, Jason Wright, or Marion Barber are there I would probably snatch one of them up.  Even Brandon Jacobs might be worthwhile depending on your league's scoring (if your league gives a lot of points for TDs)

Without a doubt!  Odom is having a great year and when Kobe get injured again for 10 plus games like he does every year Odom always goes off!  Joe Johnson is starting to shoot the lights out like Phoenix (who I still have no idea why they let him go) thought he would and well Chris Bosh is well Chris Bosh the who was my first pick and is doing great for an average player in this league right now and he is playing injured!  Take the trade!
