Dynasty Deep Dive: Updated Draft Eligible Top 10

Welcome back to ‘Dynasty Deep Dive’ Razzball nation!

Well what a week it has been in the world of fantasy basketball. Hopefully you are not reeling from the news this week on the injuries to Chris Paul and Rudy Gay (Guess who drafted both in their RCL listener league) and scouring the wire for potential replacements. I saw my Baylor Bears gain the number 1 spot in the nation, only to lose it in a week after a devastating loss to a super impressive WVU (Yep, I called it a few weeks back). On the bright side, boy did my boy Jonathan Motley bounce back with performance of the week against the Texas Longhorns with a superb display of 32 points, 20 rebounds (7 on the offensive end), 3 blocks and a steal.

BUY/SELL: Week Two – Sound Foundations

This fantasy team you’ve assembled is still settling into place, like the foundation of a new building. As someone who knows nothing whatsoever about construction beyond my adventures in Ikea assembly, it stands to reason that if the foundation isn’t sound, if the footprint is comprised of poorly poured concrete, the building won’t stand. Or maybe it will, I haven’t the foggiest clue. But in terms of your squad, I proudly assert that I am marginally less out of my element. Look at it this way: we all need to take these early weeks as seriously as the later ones, particularly for securing those cumulative stat categories, if we wish to compete for a championship, right? So I say, perhaps recklessly, that even entering week 3, improving your foundation should be everyone’s goal, particularly those employed in the concrete business. Check out these cornerstones I’ve poorly stuck into this analogy:

I usually start of the write up with some news or something positive.  Today I am going in a different direction cause I got something to rant about.  I want to know how people in L.A., New York, and Philly go watch these crap ass NBA teams play ?  I just don’t get it.  Don’t tell me that people go to see the players on the other team either cause most teams are sitting there stars when they play these garbage teams.  It’s not even bearable to watch.  Do these people have nothing else better to do or spend there money on?  If so give your tickets to some underprivileged kids that normally couldn’t go to a game.  The money these people spend on tickets and other things at the arena, I am sure there are a bunch of charities that could use that money.  I see Spike Lee at the Knicks game shaking his head and throwing his hands in the air in disbelief.  Really?  Don’t tell me you went to the Knicks game the other night and thought they were going to be competitive. It’s a flipping joke and it’s hurting the NBA.  And if Adam Silver thinks these teams aren’t tanking on purpose he’s a damn moron.  The only way these owners get the picture is if you hit them in the pocket and that’s by not going to the arena.  How does this relate to fantasy you ask?  It hurts season long leagues more than the daily side of it.  In season long you’re just screwed when your stud player sits or barely plays against these weak ass teams.  In DFS you have to be careful using high priced stud players against these teams.  Yeah, you look on paper and the matchup is off the charts but is that player going to be needed for his team to win.  We seen that most teams back ups are good enough to blow these teams out.  So really it’s better if the player or players just sit out and we get to use the back ups in a good spot.  It also creates much needed salary relief for your rosters.  I bet you are all saying “will this guy just get on with it already”.  Ok you win.  We a nice 8 game slate on Saturday night with some very nice match ups.  I also have a couple links down below about some industry news that happen this week.

Steph Curry And The Warriors Will Lead You To Victory This Weekend

We are a few weeks into the NBA season and things are really taking shape.  The 76ers might set the record for losses in a season, the Knicks are still the same garbage team after paying Melo, Brian Shaw has made a mess with the Denver Nuggets and the Sacramento Kings set a NBA record for losing consecutive games in which they were up 18+ points after the first quarter.  With that said how about we get on with some picks.

On Saturday night we have a big 10 game slate:

Howdy. I’m back, y’all, From two weeks of vacay in Mexico. And I’m feeling very zen. Nothing like 8 days of rain to help you find your centre. I stopped trying to watch NBA ball in Spanish on day 3, (Se chupu bollas!) so I’m a little out of touch with current events. But since that does you no service, good reader, I’ll give you what I managed to scrounge up:

Buy/Sell: Went Soul Searching, Came Up Empty Handed

We are, brothers and sisters, into our 4th week of fantasy, and things are starting to shake out, no?  Stevie Blake continues to produce, and all is right in the world of baskets and balls. Or is it?

I had written a smelly little article last week, another Buy/Sell, and one of you kind readers, Giant Gigantes, asked why my article read like a add/drop, and not buy/sell, as I didn’t recommend any players that are playing over their head, ones that the reader should look to move. At first I blew it off, not thinking anything of it. I mean, how would I, or anyone else know this early in the season who is over valued, and who is under performing? The nerve of this cat, right?

But I couldn’t leave it alone, because I’m petty, and can’t take criticism of any form due to my tenuous opinion of myself. In this case, there was something to what he was saying. Giant was right to expect me to make some wild assertions, if for no other reason than to spark some discussion amongst you guys. I needed to go deeper, do some serious introspection about what motivates me, who I am, and who I want to be as a hack sports advice guy. But only after a healthy dose of porn. Don’t judge my methods, that’s how I reach my spirit guide.

Buy/Sell: I Couldn’t Have Wroten It Any Better Myself

So I’m feeling a little like a savant this week, because although I’m losing week 3 so far in my pools, I did predict that Steve Blake would be a good pick up while we was 6% owned, aaaannnnd BAM! Down goes Steve Nash! I know that this is me gloating, but trust me, when you’re writing pieces about who will be hot, and who will be not, you’re gonna whiff once in a while, so savour the small victories, my Auntie Grace would always say. And speaking of savoury treats, Place your eyeballs on these potential gets and drops:
