Fantasy Basketball Primer – Part 5

by

Draft Planning & Auction Strategies In Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this series, I introduced you to the Fantasy Basketball Primer, reviewed Head-to-Head, Rotisserie and Keeper League strategies, shared strategies for certain league customizations and showed you how to find sleepers. Today, we look at transforming that information into a draft plan for snake-style drafts and some basic auction draft strategies. The goal of your draft is to accumulate as much talent as possible while building a diverse and balanced roster. You can’t win your league at the

Gibson: Forget the Celtics; Fenerbahce Wants a Euroleague Title

by

Rajon Rondo thinks the 2013 Boston Celtics can be better than the 2008 championship version. And last week, Fenerbahce Ulker beat the 2013 Boston Celtics by six. “They have a really good basketball team,” Paul Pierce said after the game had wrapped up in Istanbul, Turkey.  “My hat’s off to them. They really played a good game.” Hold onto your hat, Paul.  At least until mid-May. While any win–certainly any win against a storied club like the Boston Celtics—is better than any loss,

Tweet of the Night: Dwyane Wade

by

There is news out there from my buddy and old cohort Marc Stein that Dwyane Wade’s deal with Li-Ning will pay him $10 million annually for 10 years, plus significant equity in the company.  That is some serious cheddar. In case you missed it, we filed a story two days ago about Wade’s deal, noting that Li-Ning does not sell its products in U.S. retail stores … at least not yet. Wade is currently in China now, where many of his teammates

C.Brewer scores 24 off bench; K.Irving 2-for-15; Nate 1-for-11 w/4 TOs in 16 mins

by

Fantasy gurus can’t be fans. We can cheer for a team, but never take that loyalty into a draft room. One exception is permitted this year: if you’re a Denver Nuggets fan, draft as many of “your guys” as possible. Last night, Danilo Gallinari had 19 points in 35 minutes and Corey Brewer caught fire off the bench with 24 to spark a road win. JaVale McGee started at C; both Timofey Mozgov and Kosta Koufos came off the bench.

SH Blog: Smush Parker fires back at Kobe, Bryant says “I gave him his 30 minutes of fame”

by

Perhaps feeling a bit moody about having to miss a preseason game due to a minor shoulder issue, Kobe Bryant made headlines by insulting the likes of Smush Parker and Kwame Brown to the max a couple of nights ago. So naturally, Parker, who is currently in China, responded to all the negativity in detail and recalled his unpleasant experiences with the personality of Bryant. See what was said from both sides, along with news around the league from Friday: Smush

Marquis Daniels
Tweet of the Day goes to Marquis Daniels, who was one of many around the league to comment on a video that contained a male bus driver using excessive force of sorts against a troublesome female commuter. To be more specific, cell phone videos started surfacing on Thursday that detailed a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority bus driver uppercutting a young woman and throwing her off of the bus after a heated argument. Here is that video: The driver in question

Tweet of the Night: Steve Novak

by

“@jkevallday: This Pic explains everything about today’s Knicks preseason opener @stevenovak20twitpic.com/b3a1dr” (Hahahahaha!) — Steve Novak (@stevenovak20) October 12, 2012 Tweet of the Night went to Steve Novak, who clearly enjoyed a fan-made photoshopped image of himself as “God of the Arena”. Novak has been working on different ways to get his shot off over the summer after struggling against the Miami Heat in the playoffs, and displayed his shooting stroke in the Knicks’ first preseason game against the Wizards by shooting a perfect

Hamilton: Age Aside, Knicks Need Kidd To Be His Best

by

Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby NEW YORK — If you ask New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson why the team has gone old, he’ll tell you it’s because young NBA teams aren’t the ones winning the championships. And the Oklahoma City Thunder’s egg-laying ceremony over the course of the last season’s five-game flameout in the NBA Finals give credence to that argument. But when you build a team around over-the-hill veterans, you need two things. First, is a good
