The question is whether waiving Beasley signals that the Suns have abandoned their chase of Wiggins.

Excellent question from the guy who runs nbawowy. Going by win-shares, Beasley had the third worst season in the post-merger NBA last year so this is a huge blow to their tank.

Dion Waiters believes he can develop into the NBA’s best shooting guard.

“Without a doubt, I really believe that [I’ll eventually be the best shooting guard in the NBA],” Waiters said.

Hmm...

 

[Omega]

well Wade and Kobe are done

the only SG worth mentioning is Harden so it is attainable.

 

[exarkun]

Beasley is in Houston...for rehab. And to talk to John Lucas. Local sports radio is going nuts about whether we should give him a chance.

Should be resounding no, but people callin in and saying he can/will drop 20 points a night.

This man will enter the top 5 SG list this year.

Did you read Marc Spears interview with GP about this?



http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--gary-payton-might-cry-at-hall-of-fame-induction-202019084.html

lol thats pretty great.

And he legitimately WAS a better PG than Stockton, haters be damned..

mmm ok

Hmm...

It's no blow to the tank.

The worst thing for the tank was hiring Hornacek.

LOL!!!

 

[DY_nasty]

Dude's only a SG because they wouldn't bench Deng under any circumstances. He's a small 3.

Also, lol, he's not even a top 10 defender for his position/size/frame. He's around same level as Gump Shump.

You guys are doing fantasy football?

really? I think his perimeter defense is just as good as Kawhi or Paul George.

I would do a nba-gaf fantasy football league. madden league already has 3 going on

auction draft tomorrow night, 9 ET anyone?

 

[Squall ASF]

Yeah. It's good. Cleaning house. Now keep your standards.

Sadly the only standards they are upholding is no off the court issues (which is good) but they probably give no fucks that he's blown.

Nah, we don't have anyone with talent to fill the void. Also, what have we learned, guys? The worst record always gets fucked out of the top pick. You don't want to be dead last.

I'd be down to play. Just another fantasy league to dominate BestGaf in.

 

[DY_nasty]

He doesn't have the size. He's still very good, but he's Henderson-tier.

 

[diehard]

ill do fantasy football

 

[msdstc]

I still believe

I really want to, guy is ridiculously talented, just has no brain in that head of his.

As for the Sullinger thing,sucks, but just moves the celts ahead in the Wiggins sweepstakes.

Alright, fellars:

That's the link to join the auction league I just made, 12 team max. Scoring and all that is standard. Roster is QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

12 team max. Draft is 9:30 CT tomorrow night. I couldn't do earlier; the next earliest time was 6:45 CT and I figured that may be earlier for our west coast brothers

Who's going to set up the league?

Wow...league is on notice

What's the biggest jump someone has ever made on FT%?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I hope LA snatches Beasely up.

[1871]

best man defender at that position.

It's Tony Allen.

nick young and supercoolbeas on the court at the same time has to happen.

either way


who wants to bet that philly picks up beasley?

It's Tony Allen.

yea i guess, I forget about him sometimes. Jimmy isn't a SG afterall

I'm in. Should be fun. Maybe make the 3rd WR a W/T flex?

 

[DY_nasty]

It's Tony Allen.

After Tony Allen, its a blur.... but its not THAT much of a blur.

I still can't believe how Paul George is turning into the most #dickrode player in the league right now though.

 

[Dominican Power]

Yea, make the 3rd WR a flex.

 

[ph33nix]

I would be open to this, let's see what others have to say. I have no feelings towards either one, so if no one says anything I'll change it

I'll go ahead and make it flex; unless I get a parade of 6 screaming against it I'll keep it like this

is 5 leagues overkill?

naaaaaaaaaaaah



I noticed you requested WR/TE. Is that actually fun/works? I do WR/RB usually

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Wow...league is on notice

38 free throws is not a lot.

But Webber was a 45% free throw shooter in 1999 and a 75% shooter from the line in 2000.

 

[J. Bravo]

Kyrie Irving is my favorite player I think. Unless Derrick Rose comes back and is at 100%. Even then, he'd be hardpressed to take away that title from Kyrie.

His only problem is his health and defense.

Before I make a total ass of myself, anywhere I can read up on the standard scoring rules?

 

[J. Bravo]

Well, a lot of players have the issues on defense, or are great on defense but not offense. Health you can't really help except improving conditioning and strength.

It varies by league. Hover over the League tab, and click on Scoring & Settings. Then scroll down, it should show you how much each passing yard is worth, etc.

I noticed you requested WR/TE. Is that actually fun/works? I do WR/RB usually

Yeah for a couple of reasons:
- the pool of RB does not run deep now.
- you would basically incite us to buy 3 rbs early and mess up the value of the rest.
- rbs are the hot commodity already.
- personal preference but it makes for quirky strategies (one could buy Jimmy Graham and Tony Gonzalez... Or it makes Gronk an interesting plug since he'll come back)

I got your point, I'll take off WR/RB flex

For right now I put it back to 3 WR, but I'll wait and see until others have logged on

hmm. never tried an auction draft before. One of my leagues abruptly closed yesterday so I've been considering joining another one...

 

[pilonv1]

Auction drafts are amazing and if you're good friends with the participants there will be some fantastic arguments and bitterness that come out of it.

http://tracking.si.com/2013/09/03/lamar-odom-cocaine-drugs-purchase-dealer-clippers-nba/

A man claiming to be Lamar Odom’s drug dealer in New York gave an interview with Radar detailing the cocaine habits of the basketball star who was reported missing and on a drug binge in recent weeks.

According to the interview posted Tuesday, the man, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he sold $16,000 worth of cocaine to Odom while the Queens native was in New York in February.
