@BK: Your team could be fine with steals when Thomas returns, but that’s far away.

I think your trade idea is pretty solid. I’d try to hold onto Williams and trade Terry instead, in which case you’d be selling high on two players.

I like Brewer a lot, especially for your steals. Varejao helps more with steals than Landry does. You should consider dropping Thomas or Gomes for one of them if you’re willing to make that swap.

Hey Doc,

My team: Nash, Terry, Mo Williams, Josh Smith, Bosh, Deng, Lee, Blatche, Ronnie Brewer, Hill, Tyrus Thomas, Gomes, Tyreke Evans.

I’m not doing too badly so far, except in FT% (last), and steals (tied for 2nd last). Should I expect my steals stats to improve, given my roster?

Do you think it’s worth trying to package Blatche and Williams/Terry for say, Oden and Ariza?

Varejao, Landry and Corey Brewer are also available on the waiver wire and it seems like I should definitely pick one of them up. Any thoughts on their value and who to drop? Thanks in advance!

@Duck: Yes, sell high on Odom while you can.

@Joe: I’d consider starting Gasol or Diaw in place of Calderon or Evans. Both seem likely to have some inconsistency. Still, I have no problem with your current starting lineup. Tough decisions there.

Okay. Think I’ll pick up Q-Rich.
Should I look to trade Odom?
Gasol is coming back soon.
It’s an 8 person league.

@Duck: Augustin looks cut-worthy at this point if there’s someone of interest available. Q-Rich would be a solid swap option for Augustin.

Not sure how deep your league is and who’s available, so it’s tough to say who you should target.

@FD

I’ve been popping up in and out of your posts since the season has started, and I just want your opinion.
My team consists of:

1. Deron Williams,
2. Ray Allen,
3. Shawn Marion,
4. Dirk Nowitzki,
5. Brook Lopez,
6. Ronnie Brewer,
7. Marcus Camby,
8. Jason Richardson,
9. D.J. Augustin,
10. Thaddeus Young,
11. Anthony Randolph,
12. Monta Ellis,
13. Trevor Ariza,
14. Lamar Odom,
15. Tim Duncan,

Is there anyone I should be looking to get rid of?
Any FA’s that would benefit me?

I seem to struggle in 3 PT % because Ray Allen just hasn’t been feeling it. J-Rich did really well last night.

I looked at the above post and would picking up Q-Rich and dropping Augustin benefit my roster?

Thanks

FYI I have Pau Gasol not Marc. hence why he is on the bench

Hey Doc, You are really doing a great job keep up the good work!

Would you Start Gasol, Chris Dougals Roberts or Boris Diaw this week over any of my starters? FYI our league starts on Sundays so Randolph and Brewer have 5 game weeks while the three aboved only play three.

Starters: Kaman, Bargani, A. Randolph, C. Brewer, R. Gay, G. Wallace, R. Artest, J. Calderon, J. Nelson, D. Granger, T. Evans.

Thanks

@Goat: I have Augustin in a 14-man league as well and am sad that his value seems to be slumping, for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

Lawson will have very small value once J.R. Smith returns, as you note, but Richardson is an interesting player right now. I have no problem with you swapping out Augustin for Q-Rich.

Barbosa should be ready to play again soon, but his wrist is a bit worrisome. (It clicks.) Martin is out two weeks and CDR is OK but not stunning. I’d consider grabbing Barbosa again and riding him out.
