"Things have finally started to calm down in the NBA and it feels like there were fewer surprises last week as far as waiver-wire gems coming out of nowhere. However, Greivis Vasquez looks like he's gained a serious role in New Orleans and is a guy who should be being gobbled up in most leagues right now. Guys who should already be owned include Anthony Morrow, Marcus Thornton, Landry Fields, Vince Carter and Michael Beasley, so they're not included here.

Another guy not included here is Cleveland G/F Alonzo Gee. I only mention Gee because he's grabbed four steals in each of his last two games, and hit double figures in scoring in both of them. Maybe he ends up taking over the starting shooting guard job, and if it happens, he could be worth picking up.

For those of you who have played the waiting game with Baron Davis, I'm sorry. I didn't grab or hold him anywhere, and am thankful for that. As far as the other guys we're waiting on, Manu Ginobili should be picked up and held now, while Brook Lopez looks like the next best bet. Zach Randolph's return is a little murkier, and I'm not ready to sit on him yet. Actually, I'm not sitting on any of these guys, but if you want to, now's the time to start checking them out.

As for the guys in China, I'm not rushing out to grab any of them, either. My guess is J.R. Smith and Wilson Chandler will have some value at some point, but who knows when or where? Kenyon Martin sounds like he could be the first one to show up on U.S. soil, but he's just not a guy I need on any of my fantasy teams, and he wasn't all that great in China, either. Especially now that we know Martin will be playing behind Blake Griffin. Have you thought about picking up Reggie Evans? I didn't think so, which is the role Martin will take over for the Clippers. I'm also not feeling Aaron Brooks."
