Ok, so it's Thursday, but about halfway through the NBA season, wanna let you know which guys are hot, which guys are not, and which guys are gonna be like me, the Sauce, and make 2010 THEIR year.
Btw, stock market lost a whopping 213 points today.....it seems scary, but it's ok if you got stocks like Coca-cola, Proctor and Gamble. If you've got banks/ financials, watch out. I got burned with JP Morgan Chase today, and icing it doesn't help. Ouch, President Obama, you're hurting me!
1. Chris Kaman. Here's how I feel about the Caveman.......Get out of the cave before the Boogiemen come to get you. Do not pass go, Do not collect $2oo. The Caveman has missed as many games as he's played the last 2 seasons, and you really shouldn't like his numbers that much anyway. 20.4 points? Unsustainable based on career avg. 1.4 blks? Not that many for a 7-footer. 3.0 TO's? I thought only PG's did that. 1.9 Assists? Paltry.
Guys I'd rather have: Al Horford, Al Jefferson.
2. Add Lamar Odom to guys I'd rather have. Like in real life, the Candyman dishes out some sweet stuff for fantasy owners, contributing in all cats with the added bonus of historically prolific second halves. Also, the combo of Bynum and Gasol is like Murphy's law: something's bound to go wrong.
OK, so I was wrong on Brook Lopez. My bad.
My Dwayne Wade-for-Kevin Durant trade didn't work so well.
3. Zach Randolph: No go on Z-Bo. Too wide of a load, not enough production for the dough.
4. Channing Frye: Like stating the obvious, easily pull the trigger on this guy. But it's an important lesson: guys who look real good now can become schmucks REAL fast (like not-playing-with-steve-nash-anymore-so-don't-get-wide-open-looks-at-three-all-day FAST).
Channing Frye rule applies to:
Danilo Gallinari, Corey Maggette (with the added ingredient of Don Nelson Sauce), Stephen Curry (with some rookie-wall-itis setting in), and O.J. Mayo....see my constant rants against owning O.J.
5. Deron Williams: Illinois homer endorsement right here. But I mean, legit skills, legit team, no injury, legit value.....It's like deciding to live in LA rather than Cleveland, Ohio (no reference to you, Lebron).
6. Antawn Jamison: In the o-so-articulate words of Angelina from Jersey Shore: "Um, HELLO!"
7. Chauncey Billups: Probably my man-crush talking, but he's the Triple-H of the NBA: Cerebral Assassin, most intellectual player in the NBA. Also like Triple-H, seemingly getting better with age, and reuniting with old friends to make one last championship run.
8. Josh Smith: One guy that you should own just so you can enjoy games: this guy keeps you at the edge of your seat, with beer in hand. Like watching Animal Planet when the lion leaps out at the does, that's watching Josh Smith lingering in the paint and then pinning someone's shot to the backboard. It's orgasmic, is what it is, everytime he does it. Ahem. Anyway...
9. LaMarcus Aldridge: The PB&J of Fantasy Basketball: You know what you're gonna get, but it's still pretty good. No surprises. (Unlike this show on Lifetime, The Pregnancy Pact about teenage girls vowing to get pregnant together......SHOCKING).
10. Guy outside Top 80 who could make a solid run rest of season: Andrew Bogut. Going out on a limb, but this guy's Big Man numbers are sick, and the Aussie's only 25 years old.
If I get 6 out of 10 calls right, that's good. We'll review this at end of season.
Fantasize on,
