YUCK! bulls have a favorable sched as well while the sonics blow. w/all that being said i don't like the latest offer whatsoever. Beantown:

Either have a daily fantasy column or just bag it. I am in a fantasy league and greatly appreciate the insight Dime has regarding the NBA but the infrequent updates to the Daily Fantasy is incredibly annoying. Almost as annoying as adding (Almost) to the title. That's just unprofessional. This column is a serious strike against an otherwise excellent website.

Plus, how can you recommend Kwame in a shallow league? Perhaps deeper leagues of 12 or more teams. Shaq is back, so basically you haven't given any advice on replacing one of fantasy's main stars over the last month...how about Josh Boone? Kurt Thomas or Nazr Mohammed? great job (and I don't even own Bynum, but come on man). Pick up C-Webb now? He doesn't have a job, no one knows who is playing for, when he will be in game shape or how many minutes he will be getting...and didn't you report on Dec. 21 that C-Webb was about to sign with Detroit, but now nearly a month later he still hasn't signed with anyone? Oh and thanks for telling us Gasol has been playing well, that helps. Dude, this blog blows. This should be called the Never daily fantasy. Plus, how can you recommend Kwame in a shallow league?

Are you in a H2H or roto L? If its a H2H, NO WAY IN HELL you accept that deal. The Magic have the single worst playoff sched I've seen in 6 yrs of doing fantasy b ball. The Bucks have the best playoff sched amongst all NBA teams. Dude seems pretty savy as he's asking for 2 Bucks and trying to pawn off a member of the Magic. Angelsfly: Never thought I'd say this but I'd prefer Dunleavy to JO right now. My how the mighty have fallen! Beantown:
