Crtical Time of FBA Action

Players On Suspect: I made the decision to cut Danilo Gillarni for the time being for a couple of reasons, mainly he plays in New York where whoever has the hot hands play. The NBA is quickly figuring out that this kid can shoot but my question is, why isn't he shooting more? DG is only getting 28 minutes a game and he 6' 10" and plays small forward. He reminds of an unpolished Andrea Bargnani but still has a lot of potential growth. That being said, potential doesn't get you squat in fantasy and unless you're a top 5 pick you have to keep your a game at a consistent level if you plan on being a young fantasy staple in the FBA.

Channing Frye, I expect is going to come back down to earth at some point. By now everyone out there in fantasy land knows he figured out how to shoot the three, but can he keep up with Phoenixes' high paced offense for an entire season? I know I'd struggle. Still he's going to be a top 50 player this year but if someone in your league is willing shell out someone big for him, you may want to take your time and seriously think about selling while his value is out the roof. EARTH TO FRYE!

PROPS: If you listened to my advice back when I started keeping this FBA info, Brandon Jennings is still killing it. I'd like to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back while Jennings' is still averaging 21.8 point 6 assists and making 2.4 threes a game. With that being said I like to give a shout out to the PEE WEE KIRKLAND squad in my fantasy league who beat me to the free agent list. Bob you wanna trade?

DROPS: Memet Okur has a place in my basketball heart being a part of the Pistons 2004 championship team, but I'm struggling right now with the idea of cutting him. He got off to a terrible start and with the Carlos Boozer being in his contract and playing like a man possessed there just aren't enough points and boards going around for Memo to be a contributor in fantasy. If anyone in my league is reading this, my office is open.

AT THE BUZZER: As football season is slowing down the NBA is going to be the league that will grab some attention. With the free agent class of 2010 is going to be interesting to see how the league situates itself next season. Based on what I'm hearing the east looks like it will grab most of the big names out there. It looks like it'll be the New Eastern Conference vs. The Kobe Conference next season. I am out.
