Painful Injuries

'Serious' League: Pau Gasol

Biggest mistake of draft was picking this guy in the early second round. What was I thinking? It definitely taught me to do better research next season before going into a draft. As quoted from Gasol himself in The Examiner:

"Every time I put a timetable in my mind, I get disappointed, so I can’t afford that anymore. It’s a matter of time before it gets better. When, who knows? They can't tell me, I can't tell them, I can’t tell anybody. I wish I knew for certain because it would help my mind and spirit."

Great. He better not be selfish by just trying to be healthy in time for the Playoffs! Ugh, that's what I get for drafting a Laker.

'Fantasy 09-10' League: Devin Harris

I loved him last year and then I stupid traded him away. When I got him on auto-draft, I was psyched. Then he only gave slightly above-average numbers in the only two games that he's played this season. And then after giving me hope that he'd be back after 10 days at most with his groin injury, I find out that it'll be another 2-4 weeks! And from the way he's talking, he's leaning more towards 4 weeks. I feel bad for the New Jersey Nets fans. I'm sure this is way more painful for them than it is for me. At least as a Warrior fan, I've gone 1 win.

'NO BITCH@$$NESS ALLOWED' League: Kevin Martin

I'm still speechless about this. And it's the 18-man deep league so an injured K-Mart is still better than everyone else that's left on that Waiver Wire. But out for 8 weeks?? I don't know if I can deal with this. I've got an ass of a team, with the only true scorer being Dwayne Wade, and even he couldn't help me out considered I played against Kobe Bryant who just had to go off for 40+ point games twice in one week, the week that Martin gets injured.

What do I do? Hold on to him? Try to sell him for low? Throw him out in the Waiver Wire and pray that someone becomes a miracle? Advice, would be lovely right about now.

On an un-fantasy related note, I can't believe the Kings are on a two-game winning streak while Kevin Martin is out. Well, OK, so they played the Warriors which isn't that big of a deal. But they beat the Jazz and my old-fashioned mindset has me thinking "Whaaaaat? Tyreke Evans, who are you?"

Most BS Trade Offer Ever

In the deep league that I play in, I got offered the following trade from team Holler Front~!!:

Daequan Cook, Chris Anderson, Jarrett Jack, and Anthony Randolph
for
Aaron Brooks, Jeff Green, Nick Collison, and Danilo Gallinari.

SERIOUSLY??

I take offense to this trade. First of all, 3 of my players average 30+ minutes on the floor. NONE of his do. Green and Brooks alone outscore all four of the other guys. Gallinari is like my HIDDEN GEM right now. And as much as I don't like Collison, I'd rather take the risk of someone still on the waiver wire and throwing him out there then going through with this trade.
