My two cents on LeBron

Fri, 14 May 2010 12:13:22 EDT

In the wake of LeBron James' exit from the playoffs and the beginning of the Summer of LeBron, here are my two cents about the whole thing:

I Keep hearing players say that the most important thing to them is winning. Even if that means going somewhere else to have a better shot.

Sure, but shouldn't the goal of great players be to win where you are? Isn't that what makes great players great?

Whatever happened to that?

Have a Fantasy Hoops question? Ask me via Twitter.

I've been a little under the weather due to all the crazy weather in South Florida the last couple of weeks. My family in New Jersey doesn't want to hear it, but when it is 70-something one moment and then 40-something the next, it tends to screw with you a little.

With that said, I apologize for not answering as many of your questions as I've answered all season.

To make up for it, I'll be answering your Fantasy Hoops questions all afternoon via Twitter. So Tweet me your (short) questions and I'll do my best to get to as many of them as I can this afternoon. If you don't follow me on Twitter. Why not start now?

Where do you stand on Iverson?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:28:56 EST

From time to time, the guys here in the Fantasy content group tend to disagree on certain things.

Ok, it happens just about every day.

But a particular disagreement from today could be a very interesting one for Fantasy hoops owners.

Jamey Eisenberg and myself disagree with how much Allen Iverson will average in scoring this season. I think he will average somewhere in the 15 points per game range. Eisenberg thinks he will be well over at around 18 points per game with the possibility of being over 20 points per game.

Odom chooses winning over productivity

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:00:47 EDT

Well, it happened. Lamar Odom decided to stay with the Lakers as our own Ken Berger reported . And, you know what, it stinks.

At least for Fantasy purposes it does.

While the move is absolutely fantastic for the Lakers' chances of repeating next season (they are clearly the favorites going into the season now), Fantasy owners will miss out on a chance to see Odom flourish as a go-to guy on some other team. Odom came close to going to the Miami Heat and would have had a chance to be part of a mean 1-2 punch with Dwyane Wade.

Sure, Michael Beasley would have been there, but it's nothing like what he'll have to deal with in L.A this fall.

Jason Thompson a streaming success

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:22:50 EDT

I got a chance to talk to Jason Thompson of the the Sacramento Kings last night while I was working on my projections. He tweeted through Twitter that he was going to be broadcasting live through his UStream webcast and he was nice enough to answer a question about Fantasy hoops.

Alright, so it wasn't the type of journalism that would make the late Walter Cronkite proud, but he did give me an interesting quote.

When I asked him about what kind of numbers he was expecting for next season, the power forward sounded optimistic he would improve upon the 11.1 points, 7.4 rebounds he averaged in 82 games as a rookie.

"Those numbers were good, but I definitely want to improve them. Fifteen and ten," said Thompson.

Chandler-Okafor trade

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:12:29 EDT

Here's my take on the Emeka Okafor-Tyson Chandler trade.

Each team got what they wanted. There were financial ramifications and some things that had nothing to do with basketball, but also the fact that the Okafor wasn't favored in Charlotte any longer and neither was Chandler who was nearly traded this past season.

In terms of Fantasy appeal. I feel that the deal is clearly more helpful to Okafor's value. He will benefit from the endless lobs that Chandler was able to benefit from the past few years. And that means a higher field-goal percentage along with a possible increase in scoring average this upcoming season.

Chandler fits Charlotte's system well, but that's because he is a better defensive presence and doesn't need the ball much on the offensive end. His numbers in that regard are sure to drop. Consider this a good move in terms of what Larry Brown and Michael Jordan are trying to accomplish in Charlotte as far as winning games, but this move is not a good one for Chandler's stats.

Mock drafting in July

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 8:19:02 EDT

Last night, I had a chance to take part in my first mock draft of the Fantasy hoops offseason. It was a Rotisserie, 9-category league with writers from around the industry taking part, including our own Jamey Eisenberg and myself.

Here is a look at how the first round went:

1. LeBron James

2. Chris Paul
