    Excellent post about all the games that took place on Halloween Night. Of course the biggest highlight of them all has to be the new superhero in town, BatMANu!!!

    I'm sure whatever happened it wasn't his attention to kill the poor thing. All he (so did everybody else on the court) just wanted to resume play as soon as possible. As a big fan of his, I just hope this incident does not get things overboard or everyone starts to jump on him for his action.

    Please do welcome to my blog and do let us have opinion. Thanks

    John

    I was just offered Anthony Randolph for Channing Frye, straight-up, in my keeper league. Only problem is, I'm not going for blocks and I DO want 3s from a PF/C (my others are Amare and Aldridge, so Frye is extra important there.)

    With Randolph a man-child and Nellie running his minutes, do I do this trade?

    Obviously this is Roto or you wouldn't need 3s from a PF/C, but it's also a keeper, so I say take Randolph. Of course, information about how many players you can keep and if you can keep Stoudemire and Aldridge wouldn't hurt...

    Actually, it's H2H. A keeper league tends to warp your roster in weird ways (I fell into drafting OJ Mayo+Mario Chalmers and then Brandon Jennings in consecutive seasons, and swapping David West for Kevin Martin at the deadline last year, so my team and strategy are in flux again.)

    Considering adding 2 of my glut of PGs to try to pull Arenas from him in a blockbuster. While we love the idea of Randolph, what are we expecting him to become as a mature player, particularly in fantasy terms?

    While he looked like a man processed in the summer league, I believe that Randolph’s game is still raw enough that actual NBA players can really exploit him on defense. That plus Nellie’s insane lineups probably means that he’s in for a rollercoaster ride of a season al a Tyrus Thomas of previous seasons. He’ll eventually put it all together and turn into a beast of a player, but personally I’d bet on it being next season at the earliest.

    My bet would be on Frye being better than Randolph this season, with the reverse happening next year. It’s kind of relative anyway since they do different things on the court and you should probably just go with the stats you need in an H2H league.

    Interesting post. Thanks for sharing this information. The Portland Thunder match up is going to be one heck of a game. This game should be a sell out for the OKC Ford Center tonights game and will give the Thunder some help..

    Thanks again for a great post… Cheers!
