NBA unlockout?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
I would also be interested in LaMarcus Aldridge if chromatin wants to make a trade.

I've had two starters missing games for 3 out of the 4 weeks.  Last week was "better" with only one starter out.  Andrea Bargnani missed the entire week with a "strained calf". 

These damn euro players are so soft.  Kobe's missing his wrist ligament and still leads the league in scoring.

Edit:  Changed "4 out of the 5 weeks" to "3 out of the 4 weeks".

Yeah, tell me about it.  Dirk needs to sit out 4-5 games so that he can get back into shape???  What kind of BS is that.  >:D

If I had KLove... it would have to be for Monta or Kobe... KLove's a stat beast.

Anderson is a mini-KLove but I have to keep him because of the amount of 3s he shoots... sorry.

USC beat me by a hair (won on assists and TOs by 1 each) and while we were even player-wise for most of the week, we both had no stats from Rose or CP3... losing Rondo at the end hurt me.

ps9 will probably kill me this week because I benched my star PGs for Teague and my awesome waiver wire pickup ala Liar Loan is also benched with a sprained wrist (Dang... Deng!).

Made some changes just for u IHO, hopefully it pans out..  And KLove is not up for trade..
 
Players on championship teams are always at risk of losing their motivation.  As Lakers fans, we know that better than anybody.
 
Yeah... Dirk is doo-doo this season. I have him somewhere else and I can't even drop him because he's on the Can't Cut list.

@ps9: Short of sitting 3 of your stars... I think you can do anything you want and still win this week.

Does anyone notice a similarity between this year's Lakers offense under Brown and when Brown was the coach of the Cavaliers? They went from a triangle to a dot.

It's funny you should say this.  My strategy for beating chromatin this week was to bench 3 of my stars:  Kobe Bryant, Monta Ellis, and Stephen Curry.

I saw that... but Monta and Curry only have 3 games this week... as do the Lakers... so I guess you're going for volume. Although I think Kobe might have more stats than Caron Butler (both with 3 games). I know you went PG heavy...  but I think you have enough assists in your lineup... your TOs might be pretty high this week.

Kobe will have more stats, but he's not eligible to play small forward.

I didn't mean to put Kobe at SF, but what I was trying to say was take out one of your PGs and use Kobe in a UTIL position instead. DJ Augustin is out with a toe injury (unfortunately Yahoo doesn't show the red cross injury symbol but his notes do)... and even if not, your lineup is PG-heavy (but that's your strategy).

Wow... Looking at your team... you have like 7 PGs... (and Kobe is a pseudo PG)... no wonder I couldn't find any good free agent PGs to fill up my huge PG black hole.  >:D

Still sure you don't want to trade?  8)

I hadn't noticed the injury to Augustin, but I finalized my line up on Friday and didn't have time to check it yesterday.  Looks like I'll have another week with 1-2 players contributing little to nothing.  Oh well...

Kobe is a turnover machine and I feel that winning that category is important to my matchup with chromatin.  I've decided to punt scoring and field goals in order to maximize my other stats.  With Kobe, Ellis, and Curry all playing 3 games it was the most sensible strategy.

I just noticed this but you started SIX point guards?

I don't think you had much of a choice but with my team really only having 1 point guard... you're going to kill me in assists and FT% (although I might win TOs).

And of course, Rose is now playing and Thornton is injured... GAH... weekly lineups without subs hurts the man parts.

 
This compacted schedule is really taking its toll.  They had Blake Griffin on the radio this morning admitting how tired he's been.  He's a second year player and in excellent shape.  Can you imagine how the older guys are feeling right now?

Man... I'm hosed.

Bogut's season might be over.

So now I'm missing 2 players this week... boogers.

Yeah Jefferson is out for me, our stats are pretty lopsided in each category..  Seems like quite a few injuries this season..

What are you willing to give up for CP3?
 
I've had CP3 the last 2 or 3 years of fantasy NBA... and he was always getting injured... can't use him in this league since we don't have injury subs.... sorry.
