Updated!! Top 4 Tiers...

Hey guys, take a looksy at the latest rankings from the Analyzer, interesting stuff! As usual, I placed the guys into tiers based on my own projections, but placed their score next to them for your viewing pleasure. I'm hosting a party at my place tonight so I'll be scarce but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you. Drop me a line and I'll catch up late night.

  2. Ant.Rand, did not fracture his ankle, more tests Sunday to see how bad the sprain is. fyi thief nation

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hey thief, so based on this tiered list, Granger would qualify as a top 5 pick in a draft?

    ReplyDelete
  4. love the update and new format thief, just think lopez should be in tier two and wondering why billups is in tier four??

    ReplyDelete
  5. casspi is having a good game today thief, i want him for a pf,c or c positioned guy that blocks and rebs. are dampier and sammy d good for him or should i steal more? thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  6. How come Kev Martin is tier 2 if his score is the highest out of all players? Is that number only based on his 5 games this season?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Andy, he qualifies as top 20 based on my ranking, but yeah top 10 based on score. Time will tell.

    Nhern, billups will be challenged by Lawson for the rest of the season. Lopez is having a tuff time adjusting to a bad team

    jb, perfect targets. Do it before Martin is back

    senn, when Martin plays, he's a top dawg. He just gets injured too much yo.

  8. Hey thief,

    I read your tweet and saw the AR injury alert. Then, I saw that you moved Hibbert+Barbosa for Biendris?

    Would it be wise for me to move Hibbert+Foye for Biendris or is that too much to offer?

    On another note, has Thief Nation ceased to exist? I cannot access the forum site?

    Thanks bro!

    ReplyDelete
  9. thief!!

    what about nene?

    on your last tier's he was tops in tier three!!!

    now he doesnt even make it to tier 4...

    whats up?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hey Thief,

    I just traded Frye and Brooks for Kevn Martin, what do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  11. also thief

    should i move my sammy d for his biedrins?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Thief - still not sure what to do with TJFord. I feel like i should stash him in such a deep thread, but don't want to fall back in categories! Alston was gone the minute news dropped. At this point I'm thinking of either dropping Ford or Devin Brown for either R.Sessions, T.Sefolosa, J.Barea, or S.Blake. Those are unfortunately the best of the bunch in this 20/10 league. Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  13. @ Beep great thievin bro! I'm trying to manage a deal like that with Frye+Jason Terry for Kev Mart. The manager is inactive lately(not changing his lineup much.) So I dont know if he will roll with my deal.

    ReplyDelete
  14. ayo thief, so i pulles this today

    I got:
    Pau and Billups

    for:
    Brooks, Beasley, Bynum

    good deal or no?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hey Qwan,

    Thanks for the feedback dude, I hope it passes cause my team needs the help! I figure with a core of Granger, Carmelo and Kevin Martin I should be some show to win most weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hey Thief,

    Just another quick question. Should I try a Kaman/Carmelo for B.Lopez/Josh Smith trade while I am busy making moves?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Why aren't Rose and Tony Parker in there?

    Btw, would you trade Rose for Caron right now, seeing that Gilbert is out?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey there Thief!

  20. How come guys like boozer, west and ellis went to tier 4?

    ReplyDelete
  21. The things is most of us made trades based on this tiers, but they changed to dramatically in so little time.

    And what about having patience for the always reliable? I undertand the scores, I just don't get the new tiers.

    Just ranting, keep up the good work!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Heya thief, instead of offering trades with Team A and B at my previous comment, I offered this deal to Team C:

    I give David Lee, Aaron Brooks and Ariza.
    I get Dirk, kidd and Lou Will.

    Is this fair, theivin', or plain stupidity? Using the analyzer, I win in most of the cats compared to my previous stats. I still need the thief's advice.

    Duhon
    Jennings
    Casspi

  25. What up Thief, I'm glad to inform you that since the Gallinari and Thad Young for Bargnani and JR Smith, trade my team has been a fucken' role :), now I need you to help me get a win this coming week, I'm going against a team that's very strong on steals, fg%, blocks, rebounds and to's, question is who would you pick up from FA pool to give the best shot at winning at least 2 or 3 of those 5 categories? Who would you drop? And also how would you set up your line up according to games to be played? Thanks bro!

    Hibbert 4 games

    Bench: Nate 4 games/JR Smith 3 games.

  26. Jameer Nelson a good buy low candidate? Going to try and offer Tyrus or Yi for him.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Qwan, I like that offers. Goes at the same thing as mine. I had to kick the forum, sorry, it was taking up too much memory from this site. Made it take too long to load.

    Ac, great frigging question. I imagine it was an oversight, hopefully not something bigger. I'll investigate. And yes on Sammy D.

    Beep, nice deal bro

    Lanc, ouch that's deep. I gues Barea is the best of that group.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Pavel, straight up thievin bro.

    Beep, do you need blocks? If do it's a good deal.

    Astone, Rose would be in Tier five, but climbing lately. Tony Parker is not a good fantasy guy because he doesn't shoot threes at
    a position where everyone else does. Love
    you gunnin for butler right now, ink it.

    Matt, he's worth a flyer I'd say.

    Baku, I like those offers. Especially the 3-2 to team B. He needs depth.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ismael, good questions. I can tell you why Boozer dropped, he's had a tough run and faces heavy trade rumors, not a situation I like. West and Ellis are another story. Not that they've gotten worse, but other players at their position got better an bumped em. And I'll also admit that posting rankings is a great way to stir the pot, ya feel me.

    Baku, I like this deal too. People hate to hold Kidd for some reason.

    Jb, your team. He has Ariza lol.

    Ryder, take out Chalmers an Bargs an send it back.

    Carlos, I'd grab Illya then Miller then Anthony. Should help for FG%, blocks n TO's.

    Chuck, solid offers.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I read from Rotoworld that there may be a trade with Bosh moving to Lakers for Bynum and someone. Im holding both Bosh and Pau and im worried how this may affect their stats, if that will happen???
    Bynum seems totally useless with Pau playing :(

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thief what's good with you?

    I like the advice that you presented to Astone about Rose. With that being said, Should I attempt to sell T. Parker + Gallo or Frye (i'm high at 3ptm) for Rose? I tried to land Rondo, which would have been the perfect deal. However, the owner only let me rob him for Gasol, terry, and S-Jax lol. Didn't want to mess up my first theft this year :-).

    My Sauce:
    Over:
    FT% .386(green)
    PPG .148
    3PG .026
    BPG .036

    Under:
    FG%-.269(red)
    RPG -.108
    APG-.217
    SPG-.351(red)

    My Squad:
    Ariza
    Dirk
    JoeCool
    P. Gasol(recently acquired)
    S-Jax(recently acquired)
    T. Parker
    Thompson
    Brook Lopez
    Nelson
    Gallo
    Frye

    Bench
    Jason Terry(recently acquired)
    Hibbert
    Foye

    I loved your article on top categories as well.

    I'm looking to land a top 5 PG that shoots well, steals consistently, and provides a nice amount of assists. For reference, the Westbrook owner is stubborn, D Will+ J Kidd owner doesn't trade at all, and the Nash owner falls in love with his players too much to know when to sell high.

    Who else is a option for just steals and assists? Also, CP3 is untouchable as well smh. Untouchable players is laughable.

    On another note, big game today there Thief!
    Pats Vs. Ravens. I love smash mouth playoff football. I know you are going to be MIA for the first half of today lol. Enjoy.

    Thanks again!

  33. kristjan---that would be very interesting, hard to believe it could happen but i guess you never know, bosh and gasol could probably co-exist but both might take a numbers hit, i think bynum would be the real winner as bargnani isnt a strong rebounder.what do you think thief??? also, i read your article on blake griffin a while back and am wondering if its time to grab him in my 8 team h2h league, id be dropping artest..........happy sunday, go packers.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Kris, that sounds like someone who needed something to write about. Crazy talk. If anything were real, one of our LA boys or TOR boys would speak up.

    Qwan, dead right there playa, headed to my bro's to watch the Pats return to glory. What about Wade, any chance at him?

    Clint, can you veto a veto LOL

    nhern, I like that move of dropping artest for griffin. I also like the Packers today, lol

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Thief: I am licking my chops at acquiring D-Wade as well. I figure I will have to dig in the bag deeper than T. Parker to gain him. The owner of D-Wade is dead last in my league. He is like 35 wins back in a 10-man head to head. He checks his roster like once a month lol. Who would you have in mind to bait this guy since D-wade is a tier 2 player and T. Parker is not a top-tier player right now?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Q, hmmmm he might be coerced but it'll take direct contact. We can send him Gallo, Ariza and Parker and ask for basically Wade back (+1 or 2 guys that he needs to drop). Gotta follow up with an email though. Tell him his seasons not over, tell him he needs depth, tell him to pull the trigger.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yo thief the guy who i was trying to get rondo from had countered my ariza and wilson with josh smith and ariza for rondo and green but then canceled it. Im thinkin its time to thief on him, he has som talent he may not see that way. so heres my squad(this is my team thats slacking hard):

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Thief:
    Here are some noticeable drop players that the last place manager has. Which to include with D-Wade proposal?

    Tyson Chandler
    Tyrus Thomas
    Griffin
    Salmons(maybe)
    Nate Rob(maybe)

    I'm looking at Tyrus or Griffin? What do you think?

    Thanks again!

  39. Hey, what do you think of this trade:

    Demar Derozan
    Andrew bogut

    for

    Andris Biedriens
    James Harden

    (my numbers and team are up top

  40. i cant veto a veto but i can drive to everyone house in my league and personally threaten there lives if they dont let my thievin trades go through...sound like a reasonable reaction right lol?????
