Adam, would you recommend dropping either Spencer Hawes or Chris Kaman for James Johnson?

@Mike: You CAN drop Felton. You know what you're getting with him. If you can afford to do without what he offers, let him go. But I'd recommend trying to trade him rather than just releasing him for free. He's more valuable than that. Regarding add/drops: I'd hang on to Bayless, but give some thought to swapping Beas for Beau. I'm just not sold that Beaubois will keep getting the minutes he's been getting in the last week.

Alright Adam, a number of good guys on the wire now…

Beasley, Fields and Morrow are at the top of the list (FYI my league weirdly does not count 3′s, reducing Morrow’s value a bit).

To pick up any of these guys I’m prob dropping Beaubois or Bayless (though I would love to drop Felton if I only had the courage).

I know your take on a Beasley for Roddy swap, but what do you make of the other two guys as a replacement for Bayless?

Also, seriously, can I drop Felton?

Thanks

@Mike: I'd go Beasley. It's tough because before his injury Beasley was atrocious. Still, Beasley was the number two option on Minnesota last season and Rodrigue has yet to put together a string of more than seven solid games. It's possible, of course, that Beasley busts and Beaubois booms, but when in doubt, go with history.

So then the real question is, does Roddy or Beasley have the better chance to help my team this year? I really don’t like Beasley as a player (fantasy or real) but he seems more likely to be guaranteed minutes long terms. Tough call.

Thanks for the tips.
