Hell no. Bron is going in the first round of many drafts now, and he might (let's not have DM come in here) outshine even T Mac. Doubful, but his talent has no real cap, and to trade a goldmine like Bron for Shareef could be suicide.

Exactly what i thought...last year i got rid of Desmon Mason and Rashard Lewis...for Lebron and J Rich ( mind you right after Lewis had his 50 pt game ) and i made out by the end of the year, i won my Fantasy League.

Wow, that was a sweet ass trade.

Wow, that was a sweet ass trade.

I was scared though, no one really knew how 'Bron was going to be...i was guessing maybe 15ppg, 6rbs 4ast, boy i was wrong!!

I'll never understand why everyone says LeBron was so good last year when all he did was put up the same EXACT numbers that Ricky Davis did the year before in Cleveland. We can talk about potential all we want, the NBA's graveyard is littered with players with such great potential.

Numbers mean nothing, it depends how you get them. Flip Murray probably had the same type of numbers that Ray Allen was putting up but I'm sure as hell would think people would take Allen over Murray! Lebron got his differently than Davis, Davis got his more on fastbreaks etc, plus he doesn't scare no one...you don't double on Davis but you would for 'Bron...so he got his despite being the main option.

How can you compare flip and Ricky like that? Ricky did it for an entire year; Flip did it for, what, a few weeks? Ray Allen has had a great career, Flip is nothing compared to him. Both Lebron and Ricky did the relatively the same numbers for the same amount of time - their first year as a starter. True, Lebron was a rook, but it wasn't like Ricky had much experience. Plus, Lebron had Boozer to help him.

I don't understand how you can say numbers mean nothing when in fantasy basketball (the topic of this thread), numbers mean EVERYTHING. I don't care if Ricky got 10 dunks a game and Lebron took 20 free throws, it doesn't matter. In the fantasy world, it's what you do, not how you do it.

Fantasy-wise, they were almost exactly alike, which is my point. He will get a lot better, to be sure, but I don't think James justifies the amount of hype and respect he's already getting from people when he hasn't doing anything more than my beloved Ricky Davis has done in any fantasy year. Top 10 fantasy player? No way!

Hardly anyone doubled Bron last year....

You killed your credibility right there. It's about stats but also how you get those stats. I play in a category breakdown fantasy league. I can score 1 million points but that's only 1point for me out of 9. If LeBron helps out in ast and rebound and steal HE helps me more than Ricky Davis does. My league revolves around versatility. I do care how i get my points.

Rickey Davis:

FG 3pt ft rbs ast ppg
2002-03 CLE 39.6 .410 .363 .748 1.2 3.7 4.9 5.5 1.6 0.5 3.5 1.6 2.3 20.6


Lebron James:

2003-04 CLE 39.5 .417 .290 .754 1.3 4.2 5.5 5.9 1.6 0.7 3.5 1.7 1.9 20.9

Very similar but remember this, James was doubled and attacked all season. Davis no matter how good he does, no coach would really shake in thier boots if Davis is on a roll...

Maybe, but it stills make my point becuase i'm sure he got doubled more than Davis.

Not doing to good, Baron Davis is hurt and is killing me...

[PotatoeMasher]

I picked too many decent team players... when in fantasy you need numbers!

But JKidd comes back tonight, so it's time for me to actually win a week... I'm 10th in the GA yahoo league, right above DCX!

 

[Fifty]

I'm proud of both of my teams, mainly because I picked Rafer in both leagues as my final pick (he's a top 50 player now) and I picked Wade in the fifth or six rounds of both, and look how he's doing. I'm doing great in the 8 man roto league, but I'll post my 10 man H2H league..see if anyone has any comments.

Team: How T Mac Got His Groove Back


PG Gary Payton, Bos
SG Tracy McGrady, Hou
PF Drew Gooden, Cle
SF Shawn Marion, Pho
C Rasheed Wallace, Det
G Dwyane Wade, Mia
F Caron Butler, LAL (This is my limbo player, i.e the one that's likely to change often...Otherwise known as the waiver wire player, the only droppable guy)
Util Emeka Okafor, Cha
Util Rafer Alston, Tor
Util Kenyon Martin, Den (Really let down by him this season. Bad pick so far...I could have had much, much better)
Bench Ben Wallace, Det
Bench Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Por
IR Allan Houston* , NY (No, of course I didn't draft him)

WTF? I have no matchup for next week but I should be in the playoffs -_-
