Sell High candidates are going to be much tougher for me to parse through quantitatively. Mainly because you're going to see guys like Jrue Holiday popping up there, who got a few games to start this year but will likely be no more than a 10 minute per game contributor for the rest of the season. Sure I'd love to sell him high, but who's buying?! Anyways, so I was able to pull out four solid guys that had big scores on the Sell High list. Take a look (scores of -2 or lower):
1. Brandon Jennings
Score: -2.59
There's so many reason why this is a good call. He just doesn't have the same pedigree as other top rookies, he wasn't expected to be as good as he's played, guys like Redd and Bogut are contributing more consistently now, and most importantly, that Rookie Wall is right around the corner.
2. Ersan Ilyasova
Score: -2.07
Boy I been sounding the bell on this guy for much of the season. Talk about unexpected, Ersan was an early season Waiver Wire hero that one too many just fell in love with. Fact is, his role stands to diminish and he's wildly inconsistent. If you're the guy left holding a big bag of Ersan at the end of the season, chances are you ain't winning the league.
OK, now the field is a bit thin, but I stretched over the line a bit for the next two because I think they are important to point out....
3. Big Ben Wallace
Score: -1.82
Ben's had a great season, I hear ya. But look, he's 35 years old. For a guy that size, that's pretty old. Moreover he's averaging the most Rebounds per game in the last four years. Finally, even when he was good, injuries tended to pop up once a season. Now that he's 35 and crashing the boards as hard as he is, you can expect a second half fall off for sure.
4. Trevor Ariza
Score: 1.73
Who are you Trevor Ariza? You've been in the league for eight years now. You were a second round pick out of UCLA, not highly touted. You had an OK season last year, yet somehow the Hype artists out there had us buying you as the next Tracy McGrady. Those steals sure are nice, and your overall stat line has so much potential, but 66% from the charity stripe? Something doesn't smell right about you bro, best to cash in while the price is right.
As usual fella's I'll be around all day putting the finishing touches on the Calc. This post, when sent via FEED will have the new password at the bottom of it. I'm also going to start working on Fantasy Baseball 2010 rankings and sauce. By the way, hope you like the new layout.
Hit me up with any questions!

Hi Thief, I'm thinking into giving Calderon and Okur for Al Jefferson and take a FA like SammyD or Redd. Is it sound?
Thief Thief Thief. Barbosa is on waiver, should I pick him up? Still a worthy player? If so, who should I give up?
Courney Lee
Chris Duhon
CDR?
And how much does Trevor Ariza worth now? Any suggestion?
How about trading Ersan+Stuckey to get me OJ Mayo.
Ok Ok, can't stop, I am too many questions. There are some other Players on FA and Waiver, and this is a 10-player league. Thief, do you see any clear pick up?

Thank you. I really need to pick up some good players to compensate my aweful trades made.
Cat didn't bite the bait cause they just annouced Pierce's return. He wants a 1 for one, but I'm thinking 2 for 2. My Casspi & Biedrins or C.Anderson for his Pierce & A.Miller. Thoughts?
hey thief just a suggestion so that people wont get confused anymore, I think you should change where it says "Subscribe to Receive Posts via Email" to "Subscribe to Receive Posts via FEED", just to clear up any confusion. Just a suggestion, hope I helped!!
what kind of a player should i expect to get in return for a player like Ersan? cuz most ppl still see him as a wavier wire guy.
and what do you think of this:
West for Noah and Stuckey?
Ersan is a difficult player to trade. Any recommendations to tempt our competition to buy in? I'm trying to deal Ersan and Stucky for Terry. Thanks Thief! Nice to see more followers every day on your blog.
Mamba, PULL THE TRIGGER!!!
Ismael, I like it, go for Redd and immediately try to move him.
Tao, drop CDR add Barbosa
Pouch, I love it
Lanc....if he'll do it!
AC, LOVE THE FEEDBACK!! Thanks, DONE
Yizzie, see pouch above
Pouch, the 2-2's you're offering are perfect. WE know he's a WW guy, but if we can get someone to take him as juice in a 2-2, then we're golden.
Yeah lots of new people lately, I'm happy. Wait til baseball!
What's up Thief,
I have another question about a trade that I have been offered. My Aldridge for his Brandon Jennings straight up. Now I'm not fascinated by this offer because its not definite steal.
However, KG just went down for this guy and he figures he can cash in with Aldridge by eyeing my weaknesses in Asts & stls.
My Sauce:
15.83pts
5.40 rebs
3.06 asts
.900 stls
1.09 3pts
.60 blks
My starters:
Dirk
Joe Johnson
Frye
Aldridge
Brook Lopez
Mayo
Tony Parker
Thompson
Gallinari
Nelson
Ariza
Bench:
Bibby
Varejao
Hibbert
His team:
Jennings
KG
K Love
Hawes
VC
Dunleavy
Marion
Taj Gibson
Durant
Perkins
Monta Ellis
Ray Allen
Casspi
10-man H2H regular cats(including 3pt%,FTM,FT%,orebs, drebs,TO, Fouls,)
Should I really ink this deal or try to include KG or shoot for his Monta Ellis for Aldridge? I'm really gotta thieve on this offer here.
Thanks again for the advice!
im up .5 FG%, .6 FT%, 10 treys, 50 pts, 22 reb, 60 ast, 8 stls, and 1 TO. he has gallo, nene, artest, and melo today. artest isnt guna play but idk bout melo, shud i start my guys or bench them so i win 8-1 instead of 7-2 in TOs.
i have iggy, felton, murphy, bargnani, and speights. what shud i do?
Qwan, you read my mind, ask for Ellis
Lucky, start iggy, felton murphy and bargs
just traded (my) bargnani for (his) pierce
good trade?
yo thief, what's the value of yi jianlian
Eric, nice grab.
Timaaaaaaay! What up playa. I like Yi, but he's VERY fragile. As his value rises, look to deal him off fo sho.
What do you think about K.Love for Pierce?
ooooh, Adam that ain't thievin bro, you can do better than that!
dwight howard for love and speights, battier, or juwan howard. we'll see wat he says. then i pick up barnes. good trade?
hells yes it is!
What's up Thief? I'm down in Puerto Rico. I heard yall got like 6 inches. I'm glad I missed it. I just traded horford, iverson, and marion for dirk and andre miller. How did I do?
Thief, thanks for your advices! Errr, one more question, Mike Miller, O Cassipi and Rip. Are they good? Better than

sup thief... i've downloaded the 1st ss calc. but having trouble trying to access the new one with updates? i'll keep trying anyway...
BUT just read up on the new post here... and happens i been trying to find reason to shift on ARIZA, not too convinced myself... does this look semi-fair? i'm set for BIGs but wanting to bank MARTIN and hopefully either keep WEST or trade him off... i also have MAYO/RIP/M.GASOL or GINO i think i can work with here to play off in this trade... im hoping for a 2-2, but if you can see a 2-1 working i can try work it...
its a tiiight 8 team league with me currently in 1st, but don't think my team can hold it for 2nd spell... after this trade i'm going for CP3, hoping to part GW along with someone else...
ARIZA/GREEN for DAVID WEST/KEVIN MARTIN

if he doesnt accept what should i offer him?
I am low in threes & assists.
He is low in points, steals, threes, and blocks.
Y4, snow wasn't so bad, but damn wish I was in PR. NICE SCORE ON THE TRADE BRO, straight thievin!
Tao, I'd have Mike Miller over Maggette
Mamba, he'd be stupid not to take it, you're practically giving away J Rich, man you guys bail on a balla fast!
AC, toss in Chris Anderson, see if that inks it, I like your move there
Hey Thief! love the new changes!
It's the first time I've been offered a deal and i love it! my jermaine o'neal and mareesse speights for his mo williams
Good for me, no? especially since i dont need boards and i need pts, assists, steals
o well i would be getin stephen jackson. you dont like him? i need scoring, and he scores much more the j rich. i feel like the only thing that makes j rich really valuable is his field goal %m witch is a cat amare soars in. what should i offer?
Hey Thief. Quick question.
In the calculater I'm not asked to include what type of league (roto,h2h,etc) or the size of my league. Is there an updated calculater? Sorry to derail to the post.
Thief!!!
What can I expect to get in return for Ariza, also, any chance your new calc is comming out tonight?!?!?!
Mark, that's a Thief of the Month trade right there. WOW, I feel like you should MOON the guy after it's done! NICE THIEVIN
J., the new calc will be released tomorrow. You'll be asked to input league size, the rest (team size) is automatically figured in. IT IS SO LEGIT! MY BEST WORK EVER!
Philv, LOL I totally would love to drop it off tonight but I have one last bug to fix and I'll have to fix it tomorrow. Just a format issue between XL 03 and XL 07. Don't worry, it's worth the wait! As for Ariza, couple guys off the top of my head are Rose, Bibby, Harrington, or even Westbrook
Yo thief, deep league, which side do you prefer:
James + Haslem or Durant + Okafor?
Yo thief I get the password and want to check out the spreadsheet, but can not get it for some reason. So, If you do not mind look over my team and see where i could make a move.
12 teams h2h standard cats
Westbrook
Conley
Joe Johnson
Iggy
Jrich (Dude is killing me)
Peja "lost his stroke" Stoakavic
Tyrus Thomas
Yi Jing-a-ling
David West
Emeka
Camby
Dwight Howard
Team is very well balanced, but have been trying to work a 2 for 1 with conley and West for a Better PG, and pick up Blake Griffin. No one is biting . Whats your thoughts? make a move or sit
Thanks for everything
Hey Thief - i offered Kidd+Salmons for JJ+Nene. His reply was "Kidd is done. If I am giving up JJ, I want someone I can keep long-term. Perhaps a trade including Rondo, and someone who can replace the 3pt shooting I will lose." My question again would be if I can swap Rondo for JJ in a keepers league should I? My keepers last year were Wade+Kidd+Bargnani and this year look to be Wade+Rondo+Bargnani. If I can talk him into a Rondo for JJ should I consider? or hold on to Rondo and try to maybe even make an offer of Rondo+Marion (or Beasley) for a Brandon Roy! Whats your thoughts? My goal is to get a higher scorer and a player that gives me 5+assists in return. Roto, KEEP 3 players at the end. 13GMs. 12 cats (FGM, FG%, FTM, FT%, 3PTM, 3PT%, PTS, REB, AST, BLK, ST, TO)
Kael, def LBJ
Chuck, we needs to get you squared up so we can see the sauce. Why you having trouble? Did you try a different Web Browser? that can help.
EVERYONE - THE NEW SPREADSHEET WILL BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW (MONDAY) EARLY EVENING. I WILL ANNOUNCE TO EVERYONE WHEN IT IS UP. PLEASE GO TO BED TONIGHT AND DREAM ABOUT IT'S AWESOMENESS CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I BEEN DOIN! :)
HomeG, can we move Kidd over for B Roy?
Tried that last year thief and he isn't buying it - I can try and move Kidd for someone like Iggy! Cause its a keeper league where we keep 3, Kidd's value isn't looked at as so highly. Also cause our league settings favor scorers a bit more people aren't appreciating Kidd's true value (as the highest PG in steals+assists+threes totals, higher then any other PG in the league but all they see is 9ppg). I do need help in scoring though so I would like to move Kidd or Rondo for a solid scorer that can give me 5+ assists back. Maybe I can try Kidd for Kevin Martin but I feel like I'm giving up a bit much for that.
...yo thief, didn't get a reply on my post back there ...was it not good enough?! LOL
anyway, let me know what you think when you get back online. i got 1.2 ss, so algud now.
i have another question though...
i banked that trade aquiring CP3, so quite stoked selling off JAMEER & DURANT (who i am loving the past 2 seasons, but eh) ...so hopefully that should help me move up from 7th abit. ALSO i went for TYRUS on the wire instead of BARBOSA who is still available...
ok so now i'm looking to make another move, wanting from the same team KG & KEVIN MARTIN... what do you think and who do you think should be in that package deal... worth it, not worth it?
my thoughts BARON/MAYO - KG/MARTIN

Thief,
Can u rank the order I should attempt to pick up off waivers?
Mike Miller, Nate Robinson, Roy Hibbert, Andre Miller, or Erick Dampier.
Thanks.
hey thief biedrins is on waivers im considering dropping morrow for him as morrow is my worst player but my team is a little weak in both threes and rebounds, should I use my waiver to add biedrins for the rebound boost? or hold morrow for three pointers? (peja is also on the wire but i dont have anyone really to drop for his threes)
Can I offer Vince Carter and Correy Maggette for Caron Butler? Would that be too sweet?
His team:
Chauncey Billups
Dwyane Wade

Since you think Mike Miller is better than Corey Maggette, I think I should 2-1 cash in Maggette. He is on fire.
HomeG, just rather see u get to keep Rondo. What do u think bout Martin, could you ink a 2-2 and make it worthwhile? If all this won't do, Rondo for Joe J is a fine deal, just the keeper value ya know?
AK, Mike Miller, Erick Dampier, Roy Hibbert, Andre Miller, Nate Robinson
Jawn, lol sorry i missed ya. Nice inkage on CP3 bro. I think you're on the right track with the KG deal, but you should add Tyrus Thomas to it and then grab Barbosa off the WW to help with the 3's.
Kermit, grab Biedrins, hold him for two weeks, then you'll deal him off for a nice profit.
Too much, try either D Wade orrrrrr Caron AND Kev Martin!
Thief - I'll try and send Kidd+Marion for KevMartin+Hedo
Hey thief,
got offered Paul Pierce and Bynum for Jennings and Kevin Love.
should i pull the trigger? I guess more importantly for my team is all i really need from jennings is his 3pts, and asts, and all i need is loves rebs, and 3pt help it's a head to head league and i lose points every week but i win asts, steal and blks every week and 90 percent of the time i win rebs and blks,,, im in first place should i mess with a good thing?
HomeG, now THAT I can get behind.
Campos, ask for more than bynum.
Is this a good trade CP3 for Kobe and Aaron brooks?
no worries on the post mah man... anywho, i've added TYRUS into the mix so hopefully i can bank that one!?
NOW this one boggles me, since getting this calc. i've been trying to work on each team properly that i'm currently running (4)... k, so i'm currently chucking in the stats etc, now my sauce comes up pretty much suggesting i've got a sweet team. i've made a few moves only via the wire aswell, are you able to help me out on this one? currently, and i think for the last 10 weeks i have been ranked 4th in my league. so wanting to know what i need to move up the the ladder? ? sauce shows this team in neutral numbers...

Hey Thief.
What do you think about dropping Charlie V for Felton or Anthony Randolph? I understand the 2-4 route is favourable but it's just not going to happen with Charlie V. I hate to cut bait early but I can always grab him back up if he get's hot. I'm 90% sure he will sit on the waiver. My problem is deciding which route to take on the addition. Either a PG or Big.
A few other notables on the waiver wire are Bibby, Barbosa, Conley and Andre Miller.
Thanks again Thief.
Starting lineup:
PG/SG: D.Williams-Wade
G: Rondo
SF/PF: G.Wallace-Brand
F: C.Butler
C: B.Lopez-Al Jefferson

Hey Thief,
I'm trying to come up with a steal deal that could net me Amare but I don't know what kind of offer to make that he can't refuse..
I wanna see if I can get him w/o giving up Big Al, whom I just got. The owner needs boards and blocks, and I just pased him in 3PTM since Pierce went down and Harry slumped. I was thinking about throwing Bargnani at him along with another big.
Will I be set back in 3s and BLKs if this trade goes thru? Players still on my waivers I was looking to pick up for boards or 3PT: Griffin (I'm hoping he'll be the double-double guy you envision), Salmons, Nelson, you can imagine how many more!
PG: D-Will, Rondo, Mo-Will, Lou-Will
SG: Wade, Roy, Kevin Martin
SF: Iguodala, Lewis
PF: Jamison, Love
C: Al Jefferson, B-Lopez, Bargnani, Noah
