Man, the news wire was coming with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees at around 6:30 PM EST on Saturday. If you we're not bit by the injury bug yesterday, well, ya might want to play Trivial Pursuit for lottery loot. Or whatever game of your choice happens to be (also in a rhyme scheme). I covered all of yesterday's action in a jam-packed Pick-N-Roll which can be heard after the jump.
You guys should know the drill by now for the All Questions Answered Thread. Ask me about add/drops (please include who you're considering to add and drop), trade props, projections, roster tweaks, rotation changes, injury details on anything your heart desires. Bring it!
Also make sure you're a member for Fake Teams. It's totally free and we don't send you any junk. There's no catch besides we want to hear your opinion on some/all of our pieces. Do it!

Waiver Wire
For a 10 cat (Team Wins instead of TOs) 13 player league, there are a couple of guys I am interested in picking up. I have a couple of “droppable” players IMO; Mullens, Batum, Shumpert, and Frye. D-wade is out for a while and in the next week two of my UTAH big men have only 3 games. My FG% is going down the drain and I am second to last in 3pts made.
Here is a list of guys I am watching to pick up.
Hedo, Lou Williams, DeAndre Jordan, Luke Ridnoir, Nelson, Evan Turner, and RIP Hamilton.
SuDOO - January 22, 2012
I never seen wins before as a fantasy category
netsfanrasmus - January 22, 2012
Shumpert is absolutely not droppable. Did you see his game tonight?
I would cut Frye for DJ and I wouldn’t have a problem cutting Mullens for Jameer/Lou Williams for 3PM (edge to Jameer).

jimmer or kawhi?
who do you like better?
mif - January 22, 2012
I’d go Kawhi. Jimmer holds his most of his value sans Thornton (or another injured guard). Thornton sounds minor and Kawhi is pretty good and should be getting more mins that RJ once Manu is back

Trade question
Thanks I got those waiver wire pickups in position.
Now that I hear news of E. Gordon’s knee might be in a worse condition thought, I was thinking of trading away R. Felton for J. Jack.
SuDOO - January 22, 2012
I’d do EJ for Jack all day. Jack is the real deal

trade
would you trade andy v for ibaka?
john65 - January 22, 2012
I'll take Ibaka
I love his upside and he is starting to show more discipline on the defense end

This Jeff Teague fellow
Is he legit? I don’t really follow basketball but am in a 4 Sport Dynasty league so I’m forced to participate in basketball. I picked up Teague before the season seeing as he was listed as a starter and he seems to have performed well. Sell high or hold?
dudedudedude - January 22, 2012
Love Teague, man. He had a nice finish in 09, then fell off, then had a huge playoff showing last year. Now he looks like the real deal. I’m buying for now. Although he’s not a superstar. The Hawks aren’t likely to be in the market for an elite PG and they won’t be picking high enough in the draft to have someone steal his job.
Hinrich could be back soon, but all signs point to the Hawks trading him.

I listened to the last 20 minutes of your show, and it sounded like you could have talked for another half hour or so. good stuff.
Ray Guilfoyle - January 22, 2012
Thanks!
Every show I always seem to look at the clock at the 20 minute mark and wonder how the heck time goes by so fast. I could probably have gone last night in a 90-minute edition. The NBA was busy yesterday.

D. Cousins or D. Lee
9 category (FG%, FT%, 3pters, pts, reb, ast, st, blk, a/t), 16 team dynasty league. I was offered DeMarcus Cousins for David Lee?
Should I take the offer? Thanks in advance.
8ball - January 22, 2012
Dynasty I’d go with DMC. He is still maturing and will probably stay healthier than Lee. Not too mention a lot younger
MikeGallagher - January 22, 2012 via mobile
*Not to mention.
I think Lee might have more value this season though

rank

john65 - January 22, 2012
Ariza, Diaw, Devin, Tyrus, Amir
MikeGallagher - January 23, 2012
If Gordon is done for the season
Belinelli or Xavier Henry?
OnPhire - January 23, 2012
I’d go Xavier when he debuts
