In this week’s edition of ‘Buying Low’ we are going to identify some buy low guys and try to target a few guys who I feel might be good buy low targets for dynasty and keeper leagues. We are upon the All-Star break for the NBA, but for fantasy purposes we are winding down with 3 or 4 weeks until most leagues will head into the playoffs.

For some fantasy leagues you may already have had a trade deadline passed, but I hope for your sake, you have not. Most of my leagues are custom, and we typically set the trade deadline for right before the playoffs.
For you guys in dynasty and keeper leagues, most of you have a pretty good idea if you have a shot to contend for the title and make the playoffs. There can and should be a lot of trading to be done in order to prepare for either. If you do not have a shot to contend or even make the playoffs, right now is a good time to offer up for top-notch players who have got hurt during the season, but should make a strong comeback for next year. This gives you an opportunity to get a great player at an extremely reduced cost.
I will offer up a bit of a warning here. There is quite a bit of risk when trading for injured players and also when you make a trade for an injured player and you need him for the playoffs. However, with that risk comes an offer of an extreme reward.
