Vin Baker is back

[Adrian Shelton]

At least for the first 2 games, a definite winner from no.8's departure.

On my advice.

Told him to grab Vin before others did. He needs a replacement for Elton Brand.

 

[thehardaway]

The guy I had wanted in A. Davis had been picked up. Now that Vin is on my team, he will either get injured, or be a dud
P&P just gave me the little nudge I needed

I had to drop someone to accomodate the 3 for 2 trade I did with Kenny. Brought in Magloire who is ripe for a break out season. So one of my bigmen had to go. Wasnt gonna be C-Webb, Gasol, Ilguaskas, K-Mart or Juwan Howard. So the aging Davis got the short end of the stick.

I wanted to keep him as I knew Webber would start the year on the IL but Yahoo hadnt updated who was on the IL yet so when I did the trade, Yahoo said I needed to drop someone to make it work. Then when the season started and I could put C-Webb on my IL spot, Davis had already found a new home.

Happy with Williams though, he was a good pick up and will fill in fine until C-Webb returns.

Not sure where Kemp is? I thought he was still with the Magic but he must have been waived.

 

[thehardaway]

Kemp never made it back after Orlando dumped him.
As soon as I picked up Baker, what did he come up with?
8 pts and 5 boards

 

[jod23]

Happy about dropping Davis now. Jerome Williams is dominating averaging 9ppg and 14.3rpg in his first week with the Thrillers. You clean that glass my son!

The good ol' JYD never disappoints.

Damn right he doesnt. Surprised he wasnt drafted! If he continues to play like this then I will have to make a tough decision once Webber returns. Right now Gasol would be out on his ass, he is playing just plain bad.

Shame, you could have had Steve Nash for him had you not decided to renege on a deal.

Oh well, if you want to trade him now, i'm more than willing to hand over Jim Jackson.

Nash isnt exactly tearing it up though either....

Doing better than Pau though, and you still need help at PG.

Not once NVE gets back. Franchise and NVE isnt the worst duo of PG's to have on your roster.

Shame both are shoot first PG's.

BTW Francis is going worse than Gasol, he is well and truly stinking it up.

 

[Kenny_01]

Meanwhile Dirk is going along nicely

He is going better than Gasol, had a double double today with 6 assists. Cant complain. Yeah both are shoot first PG's but they can also dish the rock and in todays NBA 6 a game from your PG is considered good numbers.

I'd say right now, you need more than 6 a game from them

Oh I know that, it's no secret that my assists cat is my weak point. But everyone has a weak cat. NVE is back now though and dished 6 dimes in about 25 minutes, good signs.

Gasol continues to disgust me with his abysmal play. 3!!!! Rebounds today......3!!!!

 

[thehardaway]

59 assists from 10 games. Don't mind that day as a fantasy baller.
Working out which 2 to drop for tomorrow though isn't going to be easy

Yet you do a trade that involves dropping a PG, and thus further weakening your assists.

If i didn't know better.......
