Thinking about adding these in my very competitive 12/16 team 9cat leagues.
Especially interesting at this time is potential long time value. (some of these won't produce top100 value even when playing 30+ minutes)

A.J.Price
M.Webster
Z.Pachulia
L.Stephenson
P.Patterson
L.Ridnour
M.World Peace
E.Moore

Would you drop T.Allen, R.Stuckey, J.Dudley for anyone? (12 team)
Or L.Fields, C.Lee,T.Ariza? (16 team)

I certainly would not drop in T Allen in a 12 team league.. .. He just helps you in so many cats.. His ratios will get better too.. I would hold on Dudleys though... He may be able to work stuff out.. He got off to an awful start last year too.. But ended up being golden for me..

World Peace has the most value in my opinion with the big minutes being key.  If this is his production when he's lost on offense then I see it more as a floor.  You are really getting him for his D and stls/blks, which relate more to his improved conditioning and playing time.

Luke Ridnour is under rated until Rubio comes back.

E.Moore has some small percentage chance of stealing Nelson's job.

The 3 guys in your 12 team league are all pretty solid with Tony Allen being the cut guy although I personally hate Suckey.

16 team league I'd keep Ariza for a little bit more to see if his role gets clearer.  But Fields doesn't offer any upside and the guard rotation in Boston is messy now and Avery Bradley will only make it worst.

To summarize - "Give Peace a Chance" and "Use the Force Luke"

I'd hold off on dropping any of those 3 in the 12 team league, but I don't think Fields or Courtney Lee are really worth keeping. Lee is good but Boston has too many shooting guards and small forwards already, never mind when Bradley is back.

get patrick patterson i think he can average a combined 2.5-3  3s+stl+blks for the year.

I'm coming around on Patrick Patterson myself. I didn't expect McHale to be this averse to playing his rookies.

Agree with Buser, McHale doesnt like playing rookies and McHale has openly praised Patterson as one of the Rockets leaders in the offseason, has come in and worked hard. If only he can get that rebounding number up he would be an automatic add for me in most leagues.
