@Yoni R: See what you can get in a trade. He was super hot when Green went down. He was playing over his head then. He's gone cold now. He'll improve from that. Basically, the first few weeks of the season is the real Ibaka. @AnotherFalstaff: It's not his shot that's hurting but two ankles and a wrist. Both ankles were hurting during the preseason too. The way I see it, 'Reke either guts out the rest of the season on one of the most confused and bumbling teams in the NBA or they shut him down. Get what you can for 'Reke before people see him the way they saw Baron Davis three weeks ago.

@Adam – I’m also a expat Chicagoan but from an earlier Bulls era (Stormin’ Norman, Butterbean, Chet the Jet and Sloan, of course). Also a lifetime CWS fan (hence AnotherFalstaff). My son is home from college watching last night’s SAC-CHI game with me and states the obvious that Rose > ‘Reak. Of course I drafted ‘Reak over Rose in the 3rd. Do you think he learns how to shoot or do I look for a trade? Thanks!

hey adam,
i am a (concerned) owner of serge two blocka and also a big fan but recently he hasn’t actually been producing any blocks. should i hold on until he picks up or try to get some value from a trade/waiver wire?

@Eric chen: Not bad. Not sure how I feel about Gallinari, but he's worth the risk of losing Varejao and Mayo. @Raps: How do you feel about the other guy trying to sell high on Roy? Still though, Westbrook looks like a top 15 player this season. Go for it. @foulmouth: Thanks! You too. I must say, you're playing a dangerous game burning a waiver pick on the hopes of flipping that player to another team. Perhaps if you plan to keep Baron and flip someone else, it might work. But half your league probably wants nothing to do with Baron and the other half won't want to pay you for him. You rolls your dice, you takes your chances.

Hey Adam,

Hope your Thanksgiving was great.

Quick question. Someone in our 9cat roto league just dropped Baron Davis after hearing he will be out indefinitely again. I have 1st waiver priority in my league. Should I use it to pick him up? I’m in need of big man stats but I’m thinking maybe I can pick him up and flip him to someone who needs pg stats for a big man down the road due to lack of sufficient players on the FA. What do you advise.
