Dropping him is the only thing you CAN do.  No one wants to trade for him as he's gonna be out for a long while!  Replace him with a solid backup.

As long as you have a strong players to fill in your C positions this season I would definitely take this trade.  \n\nI am pretty sure poster is referring to Rafer Alston based upon his statement about "a game with 14" assists. Alston had a 12 AST game Saturday against Dallas. Felton has maxed out at 8 I believe.\n\nIn my opinion, Curry isn't going to do any better than he has so far, and likely will do worse. He's realy a one category player: Points. He doesn't rebound as much as you would like. He's gotten around 8 a game this season but that is not typical. His contribution in peripherals is not overwhelming either. Furthermore, Channing Frye is underperforming for NY right now. Once Frye comes around, which will happen, I predict Curry's value takes a hit. I could be wrong on this, it's not an exact science, but I'm also fairly sure there are some Cs on your waiver wire right now who will pan out better than Curry for the season.\n\nAs for Alston, he's in a great position for assists. He averaged just under 7 for last year and I think it's entirely reasonable for him to hover right around 7 a game this season as well. He's at best the fourth scoring option on Houston, but with T-Mac, Yao, and Battier around him he will have plenty of opportunities to dish out assists. Plus what really sets him apart are the peripherals. He's a 1.5+ steal per game guy easy and the same with 3PTM (he's outperforming these averages so far this season).\n\nIf someone will actually do this trade, you MUST go for it. It is clearly in your favor!

He should be back within a month from what I've read. Expect him to get eased into the team's lineup. \n\nIf you're really looking for a good fantasy basketball resource site, try the link below. It's my favorite at least (along with Yahoo's).

he will most likely play however his injury will slow him down quite a bit. he won't be anywhere near 100% so use him at your own risk. if you can pick up devery henderson or horn then you can still get some points from them if colston doesn't perform well. if I were you though I'd opt to find someone else that's a little more healthy and able to get some points.

Can he make baskets from everywhere? If he can only shoot from straight on that's great because if you double team him into a corner he won't be able to make many if any from there. In other words keep moving him to where he is uncomfortable. Another thing to look at is his stealing. Is he sloppy? If so, you should be able to draw fouls. Fall if you have to. Just make sure the world knows when you have been hit. What you guys really need to do is work on your game. Stick to the basics. Stay away from the fancy. Your foul shooting is critical. Practice shoot these foul shots every chance you get. Next you have to work on getting the ball in. Practice many different ways to do it so your prepared for anything. Want to draw fouls? Work on your layups. You can get 2 points plus 2 more if you are fouled. Practice your passing. For this game stay away from the bounce pass because it can be easily stolen. More questions? Let me know. Good luck.

No, you should keep him. He's coming back, there's little doubt about that (its just a matter of where and when). Fantasy games are fickle because people drop and trade based on streaks. Avoid that. He'll be back and he'll be good. The risk of that is worth a bench spot for now, isn't it? If he decides not to play by June or July, then pick up somebody else. But if he decides to play and you traded him for some fourth-starter, you'll kick yourself.

To answer the question I go from the standpoint of who would I draft if I had either Pick 1,2,3,4,5 in a fantasy draft of all players...\n\n1.  Magic Johnson - No one else offers the combination of guard play with rebounding and scoring and leadership\n\n2.  Wilt Chamberlain - Greatest Center to Play the Game - Center is a premimum position.  Changed the game because of his ability.\n\n3.  Michael Jordan - Leadership and Scoring.  I would not consider him the greatest since he competed in era of diluted talent\n\n4.  Kareem Abdul Jabbar - All time leading scorer\n\n5.  Larry Bird - Clutch Player, Amazing Scorer, Made Everyone around him better

Go for it!  O'Neal gives you almost twenty points a game, about eight rebounds, 2 assists, and about 3 blocks a game.  But, he is also injury prone having suffered a plethora of injuries that has kept him out of the Pacers lineup.  In Lamar Odom, you are getting a possible triple-double every night and in Zaza Pachulia, solid rebounding numbers for a center.\n\nHope this was helpful.

I like the Pistons a lot. Go Chauncey. Denver represent. But if anybody can beat the Pistons, the only team that can do it is Cleveland. Gotta love Lebron and Larry.... Larry is one of the most underrated players in the league. You go boy.

James won rookie of the year in the Big East last year and plays point guard. Tucker was a forward for UW.  Give me James as I want a strong leader in the backcourt, not a high flyer like Tucker.

Well, I'll assume you can't drop Brown or Dampier, cuz you need the C spot.  I've seen Nocioni get dropped in two H2H leagues, and couldn't be bothered to pick him up because, while he's okay across the board, he doesn't do anything for you specifically.  \nIf you're playing points or roto, I'd lean more toward dropping Atkins, Walton, or Hill.  Chucky may getcha a trey or two as a backup to Stoudamire, but Jack's getting starters minutes now; and, Atkins just pi$$ed Fratello off in the Knicks game.  \nWalton's numbers may be inflated due to injuries to Mihm and Kwame in LA.  And, I think Ariza's back in Orlando now, which may cut into Hill's minutes a little, even if he stays healthy.\n\nPau may only getcha 50 games, some of which'll be awful rusty (see Amare Stoudamire), but he'll compliment a DHoward-Brand-Pierce-MJames team nicely.\n\n-Regards

It depends on  what position you play and who you like. \n\n#20 damon and salim stoudamire, raymond felton, gary "the glove" payton\n\n#21 hakim warrick, tim duncan, k.g., chris duhon or even the human highlight reel, dominque wilkins\n\n#22 rudy gay, mike "the 3" redd, and tayshaun prince\n\n#23 j. rich, quentin richardson, marcus camby, lebron and the man himself jordan\n\n#24 richard jefferson, antonio mcdyess, mo "shoot in yo' eye" peterson, andre miller, and "the kid" kobe\n\n#31 jason terry, shane battier, charlie villanueva, ricky "i got hops" davis and shawn "da matrix" marion\n\n#32 larry hughes, "rip" hamiltion, shaq and "the legend" magic johnson\n\n#33 mike miller, sheldon williams, grant hill, larry "big guns" bird, and scottie pippen\n\n#34 paul pierce, ray "i got 3's" allen, and "the big nasty" charles barkley\n\n#35 adam "da rookie" morrison\n\nso you got options, it just depends on who you want. good luck this year and make sure you PRAY, before, at halftime and at the end of each game. Tell GOD thank you for keeping you safe and breathing.

Who else do you have as your PG?  If you've got other reliable PG's such as C. Billups, nash, kidd, D. Williams,  Ridnour, Hinrich, and etc... then yes, but other wise stick with alston.  Wallace is injury prone so I wouldn't want to trade for him if I'm giving up a solid PG.

Position eligibility in basketball is always a little stranger than it is in other sports. Part of it might be that the position designations are a little iffy at times. Teams don't always have two guards, two forwards and a center on the floor. Besides, I don't think Yahoo has any set minimums for position eligiblity for hoops. It just is whatever they say it is. You might petition their fantasy sports people to see about getting this player's eligibility changed. If it's the player that I'm thinking of, I imagine quite a few other people have had the same complaint.

Yes, Gordon hasn't had a good year. He scored 2 points the other night. Mike Bibby always is good because he is pretty much the center of the offense in Sacramento. Okafor has been having a tremendous year with blocks, rebounds, and points; so he will give you everything you want from a big man. Also, Okafor is the center of the offense in Charlotte. Howard has been good, but considering that you are receiving Bibby in return, it is good for you because Okafor and Howard are pretty equal.
