Unless you are getting Lebron James back, trading CP3 would be unwise. It definitely makes sense that other teams would try and pry CP3 away from NOH if they sense an opening with Dimes playing so well.

What I think it is is that other team’s fans see this as an opportunity to try and land CP3. They’re the ones trying to stir up the pot. Most of the true fans I know still say CP3 is untouchable.

Umm, New Orleans fans… Are you cool? Is everything OK?

Lol – starting to hear TRADE CP3 notions due to how well Dimes has performed.

BTW, according to that Fantasy XLS file, The Nuggets and Clippers are going to be extremely valuable during H2H playoffs. They have a lot of games during “off” nights which means you can plug in medium/scrub guys during other days to get free stats. I really think now is a good time to buy on Melo, Bullups, and even KMart.

Nice read red. I enjoyed watching Collison in college but didn’t really think he would have a great NBA career. Well I guess I’m wrong there as he has been more than solid as a fill in for CP and I can definitely see him now as a teams full time starter if he ever leaves New Orleans.

Thanks Jimmy! Yeah, I heard about him having an MRI right after their last game. At least, it doesn’t sound like anything major – just a hard fall and a bruise. Not sure who will step up in his absence though.

Very good deal John-O. Yeah the key to selling and getting anything for interim players is you’ve got to move them when they first lay claim to major minutes. I’ll never understand why sites like rotoworld, etc like to tell people to sell high on guys when their minutes are about to go down.

Nice article! I’m sure you know that Thornton is having back issues right now as well.

Collison + DeRozan for Billups… Nice deal.

Anyways, good read, Oleh. Interesting to get some more background on these two guys, as they are now seriously fantasy relevant. You think Miami regrets giving Buckets away for peanuts?

Also, doesn’t it seem like guys that play four years of college ball get penalized for it? I am thinking of Brandon Roy here as an example but seems like it might apply to Dimes, especially considering how successful he was at the collegiate level.
