@Peter, @Cory: Ha. I caught a few episodes, then lost interest. Hang onto Green. His injury isn't a long-term kind of deal. @El Burro: Given your parameters, I'd prefer Hill. He's shooting poorly so far, but he won't stay at .360 all season, which is the biggest difference between him and Matthews. I'd say Hill averages 12/3/4/1.5/0.5 in 32 mpg whereas Matthews would be closer to 14/4/2/1/0. @Jeremy: Yeah, I'd go with B. Anything that lets you keep Brooks. Your forwards are better than your guards and I trust Brooks to retain heavy minutes when he returns. Bynum may be a 20-minute player at best. @Quintero: Oooo, sneaky. It's not nice, but sometimes you gotta scuff up your sneakers.

My personal-favorite dirty move in Y! is alternating “Trading Block” to cover up recent dropped player.

But this only apply when you play in an ultra-competitive league where all managers memorize each team’s roster.

oh Big Baby too. I suppose I could just swap bynum for his spot and have be useless on my bench til he returns, which from the last i heard will be thanksgiving. I don’t know I feel like I can’t just let him sit on the waiver! So to clarify the options are a) Drop Aaron Brooks and get Bynum on my IR, b) simple add/drop with Bynum and Glen Davis, or c) sit and hope no one notices he’s there. I think I’m leaning towards b even though big baby is one of my lone sunday guys this week

Speaking of the waiver, Bynum is currently available in my league. I’d love to snag him up and let him chill on IR till he starts doing something, but I already have A Brooks out for another 4 weeks or whatever on my IR. Should I swap brooks for bynum. At the guard position i currently have DWill (playin fantastic as usual) and Jameer nelson who’s actually looking fairly decent, as well as d-fish who is only a weekly pick up. Down low I have blowpez who continues to defer to Humphries for boards and gets into foul trouble and is just a general piece of tissue paper, Ibaka who had a performance of a lifetime tonight vs the jazz which i don’t really expect him to continue although i’m hoping but he is a consistent surce of blocks, Nene who also doesn’t like to rebound, amir johnson and tyson chandler. if only i could have two guys on IR

Adam -

IF given 30-32 minutes of run per night, how do you project these 2 guys:

George Hill (assume Tony Parker healthy)
Wesley Matthews (assume Brandon Roy continues playing hurt)

Thx
