Mike Woodson: Coach of the Year

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:21:00 GMT

Disclaimer: To reiterate, I'm a New Yorker and thus, inherently biased. However, I remain steadfast in my beliefs that my opinions are consistently the correct ones.

I'm just going to say what everyone else has been thinking: Mike Woodson is a magical stern-faced Buddha sent down by the coaching gods to save the drowning New York Knicks. Woodson came at a critical time when NYK fans were just about ready to jump the sinking Manhattan ship and head towards the seemingly safer waters with the omnipotent Jay-Z in Brooklyn.

Rudy Gay Trade Fallout

So far, the 'official' part of the deal has Rudy Gay and Hamed Haddadi headed to Toronto, with Jose Calderon and Ed Davis moseying down to Memphis. Calerdon, however, is expected to be flipped to Detroit for what may be a package of Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye. (UPDATE: The Pistons portion of the deal is now official.)

Here's a look at the fantasy impact of all the moving pieces:

Buy Low Targets

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:25:00 GMT

Draft Hits and Misses

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:49:00 GMT

With the regular season set to tip-off Tuesday, fantasy basketball draft season is nearing its end. I'm playing in 10 leagues this year. Nine of my drafts are completed, with Monday night's Rotowire Staff Keeper Auction League being the last of the bunch.

There are always certain players you target or avoid in drafts, but when you are in double-digit leagues with varying roster and scoring settings, you'll likely end up with a wide net of players. Lets take a look at some of the players who I scooped up on multiple teams, and other players who I missed out on completely.
