It's tough to tell when he'll turn it around completely, but he should end November better than he started it. @Goat: Yes, he is a great buy-low candidate.

He'll be more inconsistent than Haywood, but his highs will be higher than Haywood's. @DoubleA: With Jamison coming back soon, I like Hibbert more.

As you may know already, he's saying he'll be back next week. This means two things: Look to trade him once he puts together some good lines, and target Aaron Brooks. After a good start, Brooks has slowed down a bit recently. But with McGrady on the floor, he'll have another offensive threat to pass to. Grab him away from his disgruntled owner. He should help three of your four needs. Also, see if you can get Beno Udrih. Try to sell high on Blatche, and try to deal Augustin (or consider dropping him), K-Mart, Thomas and Barbosa. You'd do well to package two of them and trade up for a stronger PG/SG who gives you what you need. @BrickLayer: Well, it looks like you have an intriguing asset at the end of your roster: T-Mac.

Both only have 2 games this week so I think I'll stick with Bynum as my center this week. I'm struggling a little with boards and blocks.

My team is: Chalmers Wade Arenas Beasley Okur Scola Blantche Brook Lopez DJ Augustin Kenyon Martin Ty Thomas Barbosa Tmac I am getting killed in fts, assists, steals, rebs I have been disappointed with beasley, augustin, and barbosa so far. Being a 13 team league its a pretty weak waiver pool some notables out there are, peja, matt barnes, ty lawson, Yi, raja bell. Who should i get rid of from my team? Are there any players you think i should trade for or pick up? Cheers, Hey Doc,

(even worse when a team plays 3 games in 3 nights, which hardly ever happens anymore). notice how BAD teams play the second game of back to back games? raps beat hornets by 20 friday, lose to mavs by 20 the next night, even tho’ hornets beat the mavs 2 nights before losing to raptors. i don’t get it; hockey, football never schedule back to back games, no way can nba teams play up to their ability on back to back games, major impact on fantasy performance, but also means the well rested team almost always covers the point spread…maybe this is the ONLY time you should bet on nba games…bet against the team playing their second game in 2 nights!

He has been a huge disappointment, and isn't playing 100 percent healthy right now. Be comforted by the fact that every Warrior's value is suffocating under Nellie's mad rule in Golden State. He's virtually impossible to drop or trade, so the best you can do is probably bench him, wait for him to string together two or three solid games then decide whether you want to trade him off or keep him. You have some nice firepower waiting for a spark (Smith, Williams), so patience will pay off somewhat. If I were you, I'd actually look to trade Granger and Odom. Granger's heel is worrisome and Odom's value will take a dip once Gasol and Bynum return this week. Iverson's almost droppable at this point. I'd also look to package Williams and Salmons for a higher tier guard. @Jay: Biedrins is a tough call at this point.
