Nope, in fact, I can’t come up with a reason why he shouldn’t be rostered in all leagues. It hasn’t been made official yet, but I have a very good feeling Humphries will be the starting PF for the Washington Wizards on opening night, with NeNe coming off the bench.

Monday Night Football contest - FantasyAlarm is giving away an iPad 2 every single week this season! Its is FREE!! - Details Here Boston Celtics- Do the Celtics have enough left in the tank to give it one more run? The untimely loss of Jeff Green doesn't help as Boston gave up the heart of their defense in Kendrick Perkins at the trade deadline last season to get him. The Celtics attempted to get in the Chris Paul sweepstakes, danging Rajon Rondo, but came up empty. Doc Rivers will try to coax another season from Ray Allen and Paul Pierce on the wing. In the paint, Kevin Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal are long in the tooth, but heavy on experience. More is needed from Avery Bradley in the backcourt while newly acquired Brandon Bass and Chris Wilcox provide depth underneath. Projection: 2nd Place. New Jersey Nets- With a new arena in Brooklyn on the horizon, the Nets need to make a splash and continue to persue Dwight Howard. New Jersey needs to hang on to point guard Deron Williams, but he'll depart if he doesn't get help. For now, New Jersey has one of the top young centers in the Association in Brook Lopez. Lopez needs help on the blocks and demanded the club re-sign Kris Humphries. Andrei Kirilenko may be added to improve a below average small forward situation with Damion James...

Denver made a major commitment to shooting guard Aaron Afflalo with a five year deal, well in excess of $40 million dollars.  With Ty Lawson at the point and Danilo Gallinari at small forward, the Nuggets are set on the perimeter. Denver lost a trio of players to China when it appeared the season might be in jeopardy, but did retain center Nene. Afflalo is owned in 58% of Flea Flicker fantasy basketball leagues. The Wizards were very quiet in free agency, but did officially retain one of their own in shooting guard Nick Young. Young, owned in 73% of Flea Flicker leagues, had a breakout season a year ago and pairs with John Wall to give Washington a solid young backcourt to build on. Kardashian doesn't want him back but Brook Lopez would like New Jersey to re-up power forward Kris Humphries. If New Jersey re-signs Humphries, it may indicate they are giving up home of acquiring Dwight Howard. Humphries is owned in 60% of leagues, but expect that number to grow. The Rockets...
