NBA Fantasy Basketball

Just wondering if any of you guys participate in NBA fantasy basketball. I am in seven leagues, two money leagues and the rest are prize money leagues. I wondering if anyone that does play could give an opinion on something. In one league, it is a fourteen team keeper league, nothing on the waiver wire. The winner gets to car wrap the last place team's vehicle anything he wants on it, but no sex or gay references (that was agreed upon at the live draft party), which is pretty serious. My question, would you hold onto Andrew Bynum and wait for the Mavericks or Heat to sign him, or just release the piece the crap? I picked him up off the waiver wire before he was traded, and I just lost Eric Bledsoe for possibly the year, and he was placed into the IR spot. My other Injured Reserve spot is occupied by John Henson (Milwaukee Bucks).

I am losing points each day with keeping Bynum on the bench, not signed to a team, and I am not accumulating any points with him. I know the easy answer is, drop him, and pick up a scrub who comes off the bench to get possibly eight to fifteen points a game playing two to four games a week. That alternative is better, but the upside of Bynum playing for the Heat or Mavericks will provide valuable points with rebounds and possible double-doubles. The league is head-to-head, and the points are custom settings where rebounds count as 1.5 and you get a bonus when a player double, doubles, triples, etc.. Note: after tonight, I am 8-3, and I am in fourth place, however, each injury is impacting me big time with losing Wilson Chandler also. So I am starting to lose, and I am kind of desperate, because the whole league wants me to lose to see my car wrapped... :roll: :roll: :roll: :oops: Any opinion would be appreciated...thanks.

I dropped him and picked up Jason Thompson from the Sacramento Kings, which he will assist with rebounding. That is how bare the waiver wire is in a fourteen team league. Thanks for the responses....
