re: Dwight is available...
Posted by L ESYou on 2/11/16 at 5:01 pm to whatiknowsofar
Totally agree. All I'm saying is that if you're going to be paying Asik over 10 million a year, you may as well upgrade him with D-12 for close to the same price even if that means getting rid of Ryan Anderson. Anderson's career average is 13 and 5. He's having a great season but we could dump Asik's massive contract and trade Anderson for Dwight and if it doesn't work out turn around and trade Dwight for a guy who can post similar--if not better numbers than Anderson.I think it's a win-win.

We may make a move for him but I would imagine he's going to end up in Boston, Atlanta or Charlotte before NOLA. I don't think it would be the worst idea for us though.
We'd for sure have to give up Anderson--and either Asik or EG. I think we would all prefer to give up Asik. I would be hesitant to accept if we have to give up Ryno and EG unless you're ready to tank. I think we would have even less of an identity if this were the case and Anthony Davis would become what Kevin Love was for the Twolves dropping a ridiculous stat line but it would be at the team's expense.
Dwight is averaging 15 points on .612% from the field, 12 rebounds and 1.5 blocks a game. It's easy to hate him, sure, but calling him a bum is harsh. The game is obviously moving toward going smaller but he can still be valuable.
Anderson is at 17 ppg on .435% and 6 rebounds a game. Ryno is obviously valuable in his ability to spread the floor but his loss would be minimized with how physically dominant Dwight would make our front court. (IMO)...I realize that is definitely debatable.
Asik is pretty much a non factor on offense (4ppg). His sole value is grabbing boards (6 RPG) but even that is replaceable. If they are willing to bite on this combo...pull the trigger.
The Pels are 24th in defense in the league...the Rockets are tied at 28 so I'm not sure how much difference he would make on that side of the ball but it would be fun to see he and AD protect the rim.
At this point though, I think it is obvious he would be an upgrade from Asik, not to mention Asik's contract is almost 60 million through the '19-20 season. I would rather a head case with upside (Hassan Whiteside) than Asik's over payed mediocre game all day. Move him ASAP, D-12 or not.

Let's Assume.......
Posted by L ESYou on 11/10/15 at 3:10 pm
Lets assume...
The Big 12 implodes. (this I'm sure of)
Bama , Ohio State and Clemson win out.
(Although an Ohio State loss is very possible, in that scenario we need to hope it comes against a two loss Michigan squad and not a one loss Michigan State team but that is optimistic)
Heres my thoughts:
A) OK State
still has to play Iowa State, Baylor and Oklahoma. I could easily see them losing one of those. They beat a TCU team that has been overrated IMO. All they have shown us is a powerful offense, which lost their biggest threat for Boykin last weekend in Doctson. I see OK State dropping AT LEAST one before it is all said and done.
TCU is now a non-factor.
B) Baylor
Still has to play Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas. If they win out with that schedule AND their second string quarterback-- they deserve the birth into the playoffs, but I don't see that happening.
Do any of you?
I see them dropping AT LEAST one.
C) Iowa...(seriously)
Iowa still plays Minnesota, Purdue and Nebraska...
They will probably go undefeated, however their infuriatingly weak strength of schedule has to play a factor in the committee's playoff decision. Their toughest tests were #19Wisconsin (which they won 10-6) and Northwestern (they beat the crap out of them 40-10 but still.. pretty weak)
If both Iowa and LSU get left out of the playoffs I could see this as our bowl game.
Do you guy's think it would be possible a one loss LSU jumps an undefeated Iowa to get in CFP?
I sure hope so.
D.) Standord / Notre Dame
I'm going to do these two together since they play each other to end the season. I think we should be more concerned with one of these two teams instead of any of the B12 teams. We obviously need both of these teams to have two losses at the end of the season. I see Stanford as the better candidate to drop one before their big showdown.
Stanford still plays Oregon, Cal and ND
They are very beatable. It took a missed 43 YD field goal in the last seconds to get past a very mediocre Washington State team. They COULD lose one of those games leading up to ND and then beat ND, which would be AMAZING for LSU , although it is unlikely. The best case is they lose to Oregon and beat ND.
Notre Dame
still plays Wake Forest, Boston College and Stanford.
They will also likely win out and face Stanford to decide the #4 spot-- barring a big letdown. I think they're better than Stanford and will probably win out and unfortunately secure the #4 spot (it doesn't hurt that the media LOVES ND).
Hopefully Stanford drops one before this showdown and beats ND so they'll both have two losses.
So in conclusion... I'm saying theres a chance! Obviously we HAVE to win out. Starting with the shake back this weekend. LF7 gets his Heisman campaign back on track and we beat Arkansas convincingly. The more media coverage LF7 gets when he goes for 150-200 YDS in the remaining games, the more pressure it will put on the committee to put the Tigers in the playoffs-- IMO.
Everyone would rather see a one loss LSU with the Heisman front runner in the playoffs instead of a boring, undefeated Iowa team whose biggest quality win came against a now afterthought Northwestern. The potential Alabama-LSU rematch/ Fournette's revenge game with Henry (Fournette and Henry will finish 1 and 2 in Heisman voting) will be marketable enough to push us over any other one loss teams. We need a lot of things to go our way.
I think the worst thing that could happen is Florida beat Bama in the SECCG.
I think the SEC would get left out completely in this scenario unless Florida got a bid, which would be crazy. Just my opinion though.
If Ohio State loses to a two loss Michigan team, but Michigan State beats Ohio State... I have no idea what would happen. I could see a one loss LSU team squeezing by a one loss Michigan State and Ohio State team, due to the fact that pretty much everyone see's Michigan State as above average (and lucky) but beatable team and sees Ohio State as benefactors of a very weak schedule-- which they have gone through pretty unimpressively we COULD jump them. It would be interesting to see how that would go down.
GEAUX TIGERS!
BRING ON THE MEHEM!

I don't like it either, but unfortunately playing the game earlier in the season would lesson the ''playoff implications'' which would get less TV ratings. Ole Piss beat a different team than we saw on Saturday. Sucks for us.
re: Bye week before Bama-- good or bad thing?
Posted by L ESYou on 11/10/15 at 1:39 pm to RedTigerRulz
Yeah , I don't want to see an SEC opponent the week before Alabama, but I think an Eastern Michigan caliber team the week before could be more beneficial than a bye week to keep the momentum building.
Bye week before Bama-- good or bad thing?
Posted by L ESYou on 11/10/15 at 1:30 pm
Yes I realize we still have a lot to play for starting with Arkansas this week BUT...
should we consider playing a game the week before the Gumps in the future? A bye week before hasn't seemed to do us any favors in recent history. In fact, we seem to come out flat and beat ourselves with mental errors. I understand that in theory it gives us an extra week to get healthy and prepare schematically...but in practice it has seemed to do the opposite and kill momentum. Maybe I'm overreacting, what do you guys think?

how valuable is Moncrief?
Posted by L ESYou on 10/20/15 at 1:48 am
The trade proposal my buddy sent me seems pretty solid but I'm undefeated at the moment and don't necessarily "need" to trade anyone.
OFFER:
Matt Ryan/Doug Martin FOR Eli/Moncrief.
CURRENT TEAM:
QB: Rivers and Eli
RB: Foster, Gore, (Yeldon, Alf. Morris, Abdullah)
WR: Julio, Fitzgerald,Moncrief, (Dez, Travis Benjamin, Allen Hurns )
TE: Eifert
I've gotten some mixed reviews from a few dudes that aren't in my league. I feel like I could use some solid RB depth for later in the season but I really like Moncrief's game. I'm fearful, though that if Luck has any kind of setback his numbers would likely drop tremendously once again.
Thanks in advance.

I'm more worried about injuries than losing the game.
It could be closer than we think though, even if #7 has a good game.
38-17 good guys(with the last 7 for SU coming in garbage time)
