    Predrag Stojakovich by Crisco would have to be up there.

    My pickup of Aaron Williams was pretty good. He's been a consistent 35-40 point guy for me with a dud game about every 8-10 games.

    Aaron McKie. He's increased his fpg by over 8 points since I picked him up, but is scoring around 40-45fpg over that period of time.

    Well in my sandbox league I don't get squat off the waiver wire because of that damm priority list but I did manage to snagg Mckie who I'm very pleased with.

    I'n my Yahoo league I picked up Jermaine Oneal at the start of the season and just last week I was able to nab Van Horn [​IMG]

    C'mon now DAR! [​IMG]

    Yeah, I'm at the bottom of the Rocket Red heap, but the priority list hasn't helped me pick up anyone that steller. The only player i've snagged as a result of my sorry record is k. martin. I've gotten, a. williams, marshall, murray, and terry off the wire though all when they were FA's.

    Yeah, the best thing I ever did for my team (and the league) was waiving his sorry ass. But all of us sorry teams had the shot at Marc Jackson, and let him slide to countingcrow - how stupid was that?

    Peedrag, Jackson, Ratliff, Smith, Spoon.

    Mckie is good for now, but maybe just a fix till Snow comes back? so Im not sure.

    that's about it.

    Marc Jackson was one of the better steals off the waivers.

    I have to say Marc Jackson has been my biggest pick up off of waivers but I was #2 on the priority list behind only Mari-Beth.

    I cant believe Crow got him while he was around #6 on the list in his league?

    I also got Battie who was giving me nothing but high 30s and 40 FP games until he got hurt.

    Oh,Patterson and LJ who are inconsistant but have a good game every once in a while.

    I wouldn't call him a steal off waivers, though. He wasn't even in Sandbox's database to pick up. Then you had to wait and hope the worst teams didn't pick him up. I was trying to get Ren to pick him up and trade him to me, but he wouldn't budge. lol! [​IMG]

    Just a heads-up for anyone who has Sura or Larry Hughes ... the word in a local paper today is that "Hughes appears to have ligament damage in his right thumb and might need surgery. He could be out for as long as six weeks."

    Which makes Sura the likely starting SG for the Warriors through the All-Star break.

    Meanwhile, the Golden State all-injured team consists of Erick Dampier and Adonal Foyle at C, Danny Fortson at PF, Chris Porter at SF, and Hughes and Chris Mills in the backcourt. [​IMG]
