I'd never draft a boozer.  I need guys who show up for work sober.

Yeah, that's my problem.  I was drawn as much by the name as any talent that might have been present ::)

It's just at a point where I can't drop him, because he'll start playing immediately and someone else will pick him up.  I think I've managed to fill the PF position adequately, but I could always use some more rebounds.

Yeah, I've gotten into the habit of giving fantasy basketball homes to guys who are long term investments - I'm sure I'd try to pick up Boozer if you dropped him.

even though i know he probably would not play well if he did come back i would pick up boozer too if i saw him on the waivers list.  he had that great season with cleveland a couple years ago.  now he is just grant hill without the 1st 5 really great years of his career.

Good news on Abdur-Rahim:

Quote
Jan 19 According to Kings head coach Rick Adelman, Abdur-Rahim will return to the rotation for Thursday's tussle with the Los Angeles Lakers, but his minutes are expected to be extremely limited. The forward, who underwent surgery to repair his broken jaw late last month, reported no major problems after practicing with the team on Wednesday. Because his mouth has been wired shut, Abdur-Rahim reportedly has lost some weight, and he's not in game shape.

Within a few weeks I should be able to star working him into my lineup.

that is surprising news.  i was sure he would not play again this season when i dropped him.    since the kings aren't doing too good i figured he would sit until he was 100%.

I was suprised too - last word was that he was a few weeks away from playing with the team and once he did he'd have lost a lot of weight and need to be worked back slowly - this sounds like they'll start working him back slowly without the long layoff in the middle.

Looks like he played today...

19 minutes, 11 points, 7 free throws, 2 field goals, 2 assists, a steal, and a turnover with a little over a minute left in regulation.  Not bad for his first action in awhile.

I had both on my team last year.  Arenas was twice the fantasy pick that Ming was. 

So, I actually think I love the trade. 



I asked because I have a trade pending in the Hockey league and noticed that people coudl vote against it but there was no option for that here in the Basketball league.  I was just wondering how unfair trades would be handled... Jeff just vetoes them?

The commisioner has to set that up in the settings.  In another Yahoo League I'm in there's the option for participants to veto the trade.

Sure, but you won't like the offer.
