    10 rebounds is pretty impressive though. 7 points not so much

    I still like Lance with Charlotte.. he's just off to a bad start. Buy low in fantasy hoops for sure.

    Lance will be alright, he's too talented. Problem he's facing with the Hornets is the lack of shooting/floor spacing like he had in Indy but he'll adjust soon enough.

    Collison for the Kings? Racking up a lot of Fantasy Points and the Kings are winning. Dunno if that translates.

    Gasol is the best non-Lebron signing of free agency. Even if the Bulls were to lose Rose yet again for the season, I'd say with their frontcourt they're still probably the team to beat in the East. That size come playoff time will be devastating to overcome.

    I actually didn't. We all know what kind of player LeBron was going to be. Even if he's not at his very best he's still easily a top 10 player. Was it a great signing for the Cavs? Absolutely but what Chicago is getting out of Gasol at $7 million has been a bargain. I didn't include re-signed free agents on my list either because, well, the team re-signing them should know what they were going to get back (e.g. Lowry, PPat, Bledsoe, etc.)

    Also the Paul Pierce move looks to be brilliant. Wizards are going to be an under the radar team all year, but really come playoff team is anyone going to be surprised if Wall/Beal/Pierce/Nene/Gortat somehow sneak into the finals?

    Otto Porter and Garrett Temple's improvement too make their rotation really solid.
