Pick Up Ronny Turiaf!

Andris Biedrins spained his ankle in a bad, bad way last night and although the x-rays were negative, we’ve seen the last of Biedrins for awhile. We’ve been talking about Ronny Turiaf for weeks and now is the time to pick him up. He is going to be a shot blocking machine for the next month or so. This is a run, don’t walk scenario.

    Hey Doc,

    is this a good trade for me?

    I give: Jamal Crawford, Tony Parker.

    I get: Shawn Marion, Billups.

    thanks.

    hi doc! just lost elton brand for the season, now my only bigs are david west, noah, brook lopez, and krstic.

    should I still trade david west for iguodala?

    how about my eric gordon for monta ellis?

  3. fallinup says:

    When Elton was deemed done for the season, I picked up Ronny because he was the best on the waiver wire to at least help with my loss of Brand. Talk about karma!

  4. MoxWestCoastRep says:

    OK Doc, I own Biedrins. Im in first and I have a ton of boards and blocks with Superman, Okafor and J.Smith-
    Do you think I should drop Biedrins for Turiaf or just wait it out. I guess- Who is better in the long run?

  5. chuck says:

    awesome i picked up turiaf last week cuz i needed blocks this is great news for me

  6. len-e says:

    been there, done that

  7. thomasmmm says:

    i think biedrins misses 2 weeks max

  8. SkyGriever says:

    Hey Doc, like post #4, I own Biedrins. Do we drop him for Turiaf or someone else?

  9. DespoGuyNeedingAdvice says:

    Anyone please help:
    Should I keep Barbosa and Kelenna and Mickael Pietrus …. instead of steve blake, travis outlaw and Udonis Haslem

  10. MoxWestCoastRep says:

    @despo I like the 2nd group better although the Blake injury is suspect. Kelennas minutes are already being widdled down w Monta and Maggette healthy. More minutes in the 2nd group and Blake should be back soon so I’d say do it. BUT IM NOT THE DOC! ha ha

  11. Andrej says:

    i got shawn marion for tj ford beacuse the guy i traded has only mario chalmers as point guard and he knows that i wanted to get marion badly what a steal for me ecspecially if marion gets traded

  12. where high ankle sprains happen says:

    raja bell or turiaf?

  13. Big Sia says:

    Eric Gordon or Turiaf? I need blocks and 3’s… equally… lol… tough man i cant choose. Im thinking B Diddy is gonna take some minutes away but E gordon is still playing well.

    yo this would crazy!!!!

  14. nola says:

    lakers vlad rad for bobcats morrison. post that shitttttt!

  15. RonNation says:

    Wow lakers with another steal…………….

    Morrison didn’t produce because nobody on the bobcats would pass to him.

    I went to the jazz game against the bobcats this past monday and after 5 mins called that morrison wouldn’t get a play called for him all game. 35 minutes later morrison takes his first shot.

    I gauruntee his numbers will go up on the lakers.

  16. doug says:

    they will morrison can shoot an kobe gets doubles and tripple teams all day who we’ll be wide open its a good trade.

  17. mavs all the way says:

    BREAKING NEWS:

    adam morrison traded for radmanovic.

    IS IT REALLY BREAKING NEWS? OH WELL. LOOK IT UP.

  18. The Fantasy Doctor says:

    #

    Karma – Yes

    jwest says – The West deal.

    MoxWestCoastRep – No. Anyone else to drop?

    SkyGriever – someone else.

    DespoGuyNeedingAdvice – I like the other three!

    where high ankle sprains happen – Great name. Totally different categories. Threes vs. blocks! Bell has better long term value.

    Big Sia – Gordon.

  19. the truth says:

    Doc, should i drop korver to get radmanovic/morrison? I’m guessing VladRad will get a lot of minutes for the Cats and Morrison might pick up more threes with the Lakers. I’m in need of threes and steals right now.

    I also want to pick up Turiaf, but I have a lot of blocks (most of them by Bynum, who I dropped already). I only have Bonner and Ryan Anderson to drop. As I’ve said, I need threes, but Turiaf’s boost in FG and BLKs can help.

    Thanks!

  20. inspiredworlds says:

    too late. someone else in my league took him. i really need a replacement for andrew bogut!!!!

  21. Karma says:

    Thanks dOc.

  22. andy says:

    Run don’t walk to get Turiaf? When Biedrin’s only out for 3 games? Perhaps I’m missing something here…
