Wire to Wire - 11.05.07
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups,
Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.
I want to apologize in advance for all of the swingmen listed in this week’s edition of Wire to Wire. If anything, this shows us that we should never overpay for shooting guards and small forwards on draft day, as there is plenty of value on the wire within the first few weeks of the season. Later on, we have to count on injuries and trades, but out of the gate is where we’ll see which roles that players have in their respective systems. With that said, here are this week’s targets for your wholesome waiver wire additions.

A week in, and a week smarter. You can either be very happy where you are or quite upset. Remember, it’s only week one, so a loss won’t kill you, but if you’re up big right now, good job drafting. You MUST have listened to the experts here right?
Well anyways, amid Kobe Bryant trade rumors, some interesting coming out parties, and some new minutes-per-game knowledge, here are the rankings for Week Two.

Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.
Man, it feels good to be back. After the last few months of mock drafts, expert league results and preseason play, we finally get to put all of our hard work to use. Dennis has already given you all the primer for the beginning of the season, but what he didn’t dive into too much (thankfully, for job security purposes) were some of the talent that can still be found on waiver wires of all league sizes and formats. That, ladies and gentlemen, is where I come in. From this week on, Wire to Wire will give you the low down on the up-and-comers that can help out your fantasy squad. But enough of the introduction, let’s get into the goods for the premier week of the 2007-08 season. Enjoy.

Fifty-Five Fantasy Fantasies
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
The opening night of the NBA is upon us. While I wish that the Golden State/Utah game was one of the two nationally televised games, I guess I can live with San Antonio and Portland. I saw enough of the Spurs last summer – remember, my Cavs got swept by them in the Finals. However, I will be watching that game not for Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, but LaMarcus Aldridge and Martell Webster. Yep, only a fantasy hoops fan would watch a game because of Martell Webster. We’ll even throw a little Travis Outlaw in there and call it a night.
With that said, I had a chance to read NBA.com’s Where 62 Amazing Things Happen, and decided that it’d be cool to pump out a list of my own. Oh, and this list will obviously tilt it towards fantasy basketball – as this is, in fact, a fantasy basketball blog.
In no specific order…here are 55 things I wish to come true during this year’s fantasy hoops season. Enjoy.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 6, Pick 12 - Corey Maggette
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Pacific Division, Los Angeles Clippers, Roto,
The Fig Cap: Uh oh, Maggette yo!
Freed from the shackles of the sixth man role he begrudgingly occupied last season, Clippers swingman Corey Maggette is primed to shine as the team’s leading scorer this year. Elton Brand was the centerpiece of the offense and the rock that everyone could lean on for the past six seasons. With Brand’s Achilles tendon torn this offseason, Maggette has been thrust from a buttressing role to be the proverbial leg for this team to stand on. Perhaps the same could be said for his role on your fantasy team…

The Fig Cap: “Satten said he doesn’t believe? WHAT?!?!?”
October 30th will soon be upon us when the Portland Trail Blazers, sans Greg Oden, take on the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs led by Tim Duncan. And later on that night, the revamped/revitalized Houston Rockets with their dynamic duo of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady do battle with Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers (as of this writing, anyway; who knows what happens with the Black Mamba with all of these rumors flying around). What else do you need to know about the start of the 2007-08 NBA season?
That’s what The Fantasy Jump Off is all about.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 6, Pick 11 - Andris Biedrins
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Golden State Warriors, Roto, Site Features,
He’s only played 33 minutes all of preseason. He only averaged 21 minutes per game last April. So why is Andris Biedrins such a highly touted commodity? Upside, baby, upside.
These are his only drawbacks. If he starts, he has 10-10 written all over him. Well guess what boys and girls. With that stud Adonal Foyle out of town, only Patrick O’Bryant and Brandan Wright will challenge Al Harrington and him for playing time. Talk about a good situation.
