He is not playing starter’s minutes yet, but McGee is a very talented shot blocker who should provide big help in at least that category as long as he is seeing a decent amount of run.

This is not going to be your normal Wire Troll. Yes it is Valentine’s Day (well, it was when I wrote it, but RotoRob was too busy making sweet, sweet love yesterday…err, onanism counts, right?). With a little bit of love and maybe an ounce of prevention, we will help you avoid the landmines that you should stay away from come March 1. In a twist, these are the players you may want to stay away from if you see them on the waiver wire. Do not be tempted by the Olympic Break either. Some of these players may be freshly placed on your local waiver wire as well.

The NBA All-Star Break allows Fantasy owners a brief respite to take a hard look at their team’s performance, and possibly retool for their league’s stretch run.

Looking at a lot of teams, they are hitting some kind of wall that cannot be explained this week. I noticed offense is down and numbers are down in general.

CP3 underwent surgery last Thursday, and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks. Until then, Fantasy owners will have to scramble to try to account for the loss of one of the game’s greatest players.

Yes, Matt Moulson has been helped by playing with John Tavares (left), but the bottom line is he can bulge the twine. I can hear it now. People will ask just what in the wide wide world of sports is a Mooby? It is a made-up award name for Waiver Wire Pickup Of The Year.

After losing his starting gig, Frye was abandoned by many Fantasy owners. Hold the phone, though: Frye has scored at least 20 points in two of his last three games, while tossing in 10 three-pointers over that stretch. Don’t expect consistency, but Frye looks like he should remain a good source of treys and a serviceable source of blocks for owners in deeper leagues.
