Cheikh Samb traded - fantasy impact


Cheikh Samb has been traded from Detroit to Denver, with a few of players thrown in to make things work out for NBA salary cap purposes ( a former Knick, a former Timberwolf, and a former Georgetown Hoya). The African nation of Senegal ... rejoices? mourns? goes about what they normally do in Senegal?

The one time Fort Wayne Mad Ant (about to be Colorado 14er? (fingers crossed)) for some reason had not got a lot of playing time in Detroit. It's like they had 5 all-stars in front of him or something. Here's what Rotoworld had to say about the Samb deal:


Big man Cheick Samb was traded to the Nuggets in the Allen Iverson deal on Monday.
He has some talent and has played well in the D-League, but he's not like to be worth owning in fantasy leagues this season.

Well, I guess that's that.

Very, very short term, if you had Chauncey this week in a locked weekly H2H league, you thought you'd be getting 4 games of Mr. Big Shot's big shots, but that ain't happening now. If Tayshaun Prince were to get a lot of shots, it would have been tonight. Eventually, the Pistons rotation will get figured out, and once it does, you could see a little rise in Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell. If you were in a deep league and had McDyess, you might as well drop him, since he'll be bought out. And if he really only wants to play for the Pistons, he won't be around until after you've opened a few windows on your advent calendar.

Godspeed, Cheikh Samb
