It was a good decision and your basis was a good one.  As a starter, Jamaal Tinsley is good for an occasional rebounds and steals.  But his main asset is his assists wherein his dishes out at least 6 dimes a game.\n\nIn Chucky Atkins, he is a good shooter and a source for 3 pointers made.  However, with Damon Stoudamire and Kyle Lowry also fighting for PT, it would be difficult for Atkins to provide fantasy owners with regular numbers.\n\nHope this was helpful.

To answer the question I go from the standpoint of who would I draft if I had either Pick 1,2,3,4,5 in a fantasy draft of all players...\n\n1.  Magic Johnson - No one else offers the combination of guard play with rebounding and scoring and leadership\n\n2.  Wilt Chamberlain - Greatest Center to Play the Game - Center is a premimum position.  Changed the game because of his ability.\n\n3.  Michael Jordan - Leadership and Scoring.  I would not consider him the greatest since he competed in era of diluted talent\n\n4.  Kareem Abdul Jabbar - All time leading scorer\n\n5.  Larry Bird - Clutch Player, Amazing Scorer, Made Everyone around him better

I am sorry I can't tell you why they add-up wrong.But if you check different sources for stats as I did because of your question,you will see Kobie Bryant scored either 38,40,or43 pts. last-night. This must drive contest players and the fantasy players nuts.WONDER WHO KNOWS REAL STATS.\n                                   still confused also\n                                                 wythingco

well, alexander has been out for weeks and so has porter.  I would hope you haven't been starting either of those two.  Irregardless, McNabb and Westbrook have been putting up great points, but the whole team matters.  Johnson has also been terrible all year.\n\nMy team doesn't have any player at the top of their respective positions, but I change depending on who I am playing etc. and I'm at the top of my league.  If you want to be good in fantasy you have to plan for the long haul as well as week to week.

check the leaderboard and forum for fantasy basketball - its the same for everyone who purchased it (myself included) - its still jacked up - probably crappy programming locking it up after the free period was over - hopefully they'll fix it soon - its pretty annoying.

Well, the first thing in Fantasy basketball is to pick players that will produce consistently in Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Turnovers, and 3-PT Goals. You don't have bad players, but you really don't have any big producers that are consistent other than Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, and Kirk Hinrich. Adam Morrison is OK, but being a rookie, he's going to be up and down this year. \n\nI'd consider going after a point guard that dishes more assists (maybe Deron WIlliams), a quality shooting guard, and look to upgrade at your Center or Power Forward position. Dalembert, Dampier, and Swift just won't do it. You need consistency in each key stat. Start with one main player in each position and then fill in the rest after that with quality players.

I would pull the trigger...You are giving up a lot, so I may try to get the guy to give you one more player (maybe a young guy with a lot of updside).  But even if he wouldn't, I'd still do it.  I've been very successful in fantasy sports by packaging 2 or 3 good players for 1 great player, and trying to assemble 2 or 3 first round caliber players.

Who else do you have as your PG?  If you've got other reliable PG's such as C. Billups, nash, kidd, D. Williams,  Ridnour, Hinrich, and etc... then yes, but other wise stick with alston.  Wallace is injury prone so I wouldn't want to trade for him if I'm giving up a solid PG.

You'd might want to get rid of Fisher and Harpring in favor of similar players, since you seem to be in a small-ish (9-10 team) league. \nOtherwise, Paul and Camby were good picks and West was a great free agent pick up. I wouldn't want to go against you.

well it all depends on what you need, if you want Def. stats dont do the trade, last year Kirilenko led the league in blocks and he is a heck of a rebounder too but than again Rashard Lewis is a very good Off. player but not as good on the Def. side as Kirilenko, as for Gasol he isn't expected back til Jan/Feb so if you do the trade dont drop him at least you'll have him in the second half of the season but remember what do you need? Off or Def.

I bet you are probably the most over-hyped, over-rated, Least talented player ever on Yahoo Answers.  I have never seen you play but the one thing I know is that you're all talk.  You may talk big, but you have not proven one thing to me.  I have never even seen you make a shot, which brings up the question Are you even able to make a layup?  If not then you can't play ball.  \n\nI mean look at your question.  You made a whole lot of grammatical mistakes:\n\nCapialize all of the i's,\nspace in between 170 and cms,\nspace in between 43 and kgs,\nCapitalize the D in do,\nthe period after basketball should be a question mark,\nyou misspelled good,\nspace between comma and passing,\nand finally you did not end with a period.\n\nAll of these mistakes in your grammer leads me to believe that you did not put a lot of focus into asking the question.  How can I be sure that you have the same lack of focus on the court?  \n\nYou also have not proved to me that you are a team player.  From the question it sounds like it is all about you:\n"I am 170 cms"\n"do you think I can play..."\n"I have..."\n\nYou might just be a totally selfish player who only cares about himself.  \n\nOne more thing, You probably can't even do a 720 dunk.  I've seen a guy who wasn't even in the NBA and he could do a 720 dunk.  \n\nMY final advice:\n\nKid, you got a lot of growing up to do.

Tough, tough decision.  But at the end of the day, it would really depend on what your team needs.  In Kidd, you have a player who is rebounding from a poor first week (despite the triple-double on the first day of the season) and is now averaging about 10+ points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists.\n\nWhile in Nash (who has a hip injury but is still playing), you have the king of assists (having only played in one game wherein he didn't get double figures in assists (9)).  Nash is also a good source for three points.\n\nIn the end, I would keep Kidd.  With the recent injury to Richard Jefferson, more will be expected of him despite the arrival of Marcus Williams who was expected to cut into his playing minutes.\n\nHope this helps.

I would probably ask for another guy, probably a center if he has one, overall just get another player if you are giving up marbury, he is a big name

As long as you have a strong players to fill in your C positions this season I would definitely take this trade.  \n\nI am pretty sure poster is referring to Rafer Alston based upon his statement about "a game with 14" assists. Alston had a 12 AST game Saturday against Dallas. Felton has maxed out at 8 I believe.\n\nIn my opinion, Curry isn't going to do any better than he has so far, and likely will do worse. He's realy a one category player: Points. He doesn't rebound as much as you would like. He's gotten around 8 a game this season but that is not typical. His contribution in peripherals is not overwhelming either. Furthermore, Channing Frye is underperforming for NY right now. Once Frye comes around, which will happen, I predict Curry's value takes a hit. I could be wrong on this, it's not an exact science, but I'm also fairly sure there are some Cs on your waiver wire right now who will pan out better than Curry for the season.\n\nAs for Alston, he's in a great position for assists. He averaged just under 7 for last year and I think it's entirely reasonable for him to hover right around 7 a game this season as well. He's at best the fourth scoring option on Houston, but with T-Mac, Yao, and Battier around him he will have plenty of opportunities to dish out assists. Plus what really sets him apart are the peripherals. He's a 1.5+ steal per game guy easy and the same with 3PTM (he's outperforming these averages so far this season).\n\nIf someone will actually do this trade, you MUST go for it. It is clearly in your favor!

Position eligibility in basketball is always a little stranger than it is in other sports. Part of it might be that the position designations are a little iffy at times. Teams don't always have two guards, two forwards and a center on the floor. Besides, I don't think Yahoo has any set minimums for position eligiblity for hoops. It just is whatever they say it is. You might petition their fantasy sports people to see about getting this player's eligibility changed. If it's the player that I'm thinking of, I imagine quite a few other people have had the same complaint.
