News: The Trail Blazers requested release waivers on recently acquired center Dan Gadzuric Friday, as they rid themselves of his un-guaranteed contract for the 2012-13 season. The Blazers acquired him less than a week ago in the sign-and-trade that sent Raymond Felton to New York.
Analysis: This move was expected to happen sometime this weekend, as the Blazers have very little need for him. He may catch on somewhere, but he is not a starting player and should not be targeted in any Fantasy formats on Draft Day.
News: The Knicks and Trail Blazers agreed to a deal Saturday that sent guard Raymond Felton to New York in a sign-and-trade along with center Kurt Thomas, for centers Jared Jeffries and Dan Gadzuric, as well as a future second-round pick.
Analysis: Gadzuric's contract for the 2012-13 season is un-guaranteed, so there is a good chance the Blazers will not even keep him around by the time the season starts. He is not worth selecting in any Fantasy formats on Draft Day.
News: With the Knicks worried about the health of two of their big men, they decided to add free agent center Dan Gadzuric for the remainder of the season. Bill Walker was waived as a result.
Analysis: Gadzuric, a nine-year NBA veteran, has not appeared in the NBA this season, spending the year in the D-League instead. He was a member of the Warriors and Nets last season, averaging 2.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in 42 games. He has no Fantasy value at this point in the season.
News: The Texas Legends announced Tuesday that they have acquired center Dan Gadzuric from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. If Gadzuric plays well for the Legends, he could be brought up to the Mavericks.
Analysis: Dallas has dealt with a plethora of injuries to big men this season and Gadzuric is a little insurance for that. He is not expect to gain any Fantasy value at any point in the season, however.
News: Free agent center Dan Gadzuric is expected to sign with a team in the D-League. Gadzuric has not been signed by an NBA franchise.
Analysis: Gadzuric worked out for Philadelphia back in January but was never given a contract. He'll have to play his way back into the league. Gadzuric has little Fantasy value.
News: PhillyBurbs.com reports the 76ers are expected to work out Dan Gadzuric and Francisco Elson on Thursday, according to team president Rod Thorn. "You can never have enough big guys," Sixers coach Doug Collins said before Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: The 76ers are a bit thin at center right now with injuries to Spencer Hawes and Nikola Vucevic. Signing Elson or Gadzuric could be a short-term solution until Hawes and Vucevic return. Regardless, we aren't expecting either player to be a big factor if they are signed, so continue to ignore them in Fantasy.
News: New Jersey center Dan Gadzuric made a rare start on Wednesday night in Detroit. He saw 22 minutes of court time for the Nets, but they would lose to the Pistons 116-109. He shot 3 for 6 from the field and connected on 1 of his 2 foul shots as he finished with seven points. He added five rebounds, two steals and three blocks for the Nets.
Analysis: Gadzuric and Brandan Wright were acquired from the Warriors in exchange for Troy Murphy back in February. Over his last five outings, Gadzuric is averaging 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds per contest, while shooting 61.5 percent from the floor. Despite his good field-goal percentage, Gadzuric is not worth owning in any Fantasy league at this point of the season. The veteran is a free agent, but no matter where he signs he won't be a player to target on Draft Day this fall.
News: New Jersey center Dan Gadzuric saw his first action with his new team on Saturday night in Houston. This outing was his first action since Jan. 24 back when he was on the Warriors. He would see nine minutes of action and scored just two points. Gadzuric had been dealing with a sore back. He would chip in a block and a board for the Nets, but they would still lose to the Rockets, 123-108. Gadzuric and Brandan Wright were traded to the Nets for veteran forward Troy Murphy on Thursday.
Analysis: Gadzuric will provide depth for the Nets on the frontcourt and likely have minimal Fantasy value the rest of the season. Entering Saturday he was averaging 2.8 points and 3.1 boards in his first 28 games. Owners in all formats can ignore him.
News: The Nets have agreed to acquire All-Star point guard Deron Williams from the Jazz for Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, and two first-round picks in a three-team trade that also sends Troy Murphy to Golden State, sources confirmed to CBSSports.com. In a swift and astonishing comeback from their failed pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, New Jersey also will get Dan Gadzuric and Brandan Wright from Golden State, which will buy out Murphy, sources said. Murphy is considering signing with Boston, Miami or Orlando once his buyout is complete.
Analysis: Gadzuric will likely provide depth for the Nets once his back is 100 percent, but he has minimal Fantasy value when healthy. If he couldn't produce for the Warriors he likely won't help many owners in New Jersey.
News: Warriors center Dan Gadzuric missed his 12th straight game with a back injury on Tuesday against the Celtics as Golden State opened the second half of the season. Gadzuric has not played since Jan. 4 because of a sore back but is still being considered day to day by the team.

Analysis: Coach Keith Smart said that Gadzuric would not be asked to start immediately, especially against the likes of Dwight Howard. Gadzuric is averaging 2.5 points and 3.5 rebounds over four starts and is not a player with much Fantasy appeal -- healthy or not, starter or not.
News: Golden State C Dan Gadzuric (groin) remains out for the Warriors with no real timetable to return to the lineup. While he could return at any time, NBA.com is reporting that won't happen anytime soon.

News: Golden State center Dan Gadzuric is listed as day to day with an undisclosed injury, according to CSNBayArea.com. Gadzuric is averaging 1.8 points and 2.2 rebounds over his last five games.
Analysis: Gadzuric doesn't get a lot of playing time -- he's gone in double digits in minutes just once over the last five games. Limited court time equals little production. That comes out to not much Fantasy value. Continue to ignore him, even when he's healthy.
News: Warriors C Dan Gadzuric, who was making his third start with David Lee sidelined by an infection in his elbow, played a season-high 32 minutes Monday at Denver. He had eight points, 11 rebounds and two blocks.
Analysis: Gadzuric would be a decent Fantasy center if he could produce those numbers every night, but rarely does he play 20 minutes, much less 32. He's just a low-end option in deeper Fantasy leagues and will be practically useless when Lee returns.
News: Golden State center Dan Gadzuric helped fill the void left by David Lee on Thursday, but the veteran couldn't do enough to get his team a win. Gadzuric, who missed Wednesday's game against New York with a back strain, hit 50 percent of his shots on Thursday. He finished with eight points and six rebounds in 21 minutes of action. He added a block, but the Bulls would beat the Warriors, 120-90.
Analysis: Gadzuric had his best game of the season on Thursday, but that doesn't mean he should become a hot commodity. He entered the game averaging just 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per outing. He won't do enough going forward to make him worth adding in the majority of Fantasy leagues.
News: After missing Wednesday's game against the Knicks, the Warriors Dan Gadzuric saw action in Thursday's contest. The center had been dealing with a back strain, but with David Lee out, he was needed to fill in.
Analysis: Gadzuric is averaging just 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game so far this season, so his playing time is limited. He doesn't do enough to be considered a Fantasy option right now and can be ignored in the majority of leagues.

Analysis: The 32-year-old center is averaging just 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game this year over 10 minutes per contest. He hasn't played in the team's last two games and has low-end Fantasy value, at best.

Analysis: Gadzuric will provide Don Nelson and the Warriors with size and depth, but he is not expected to play a significant role. He's averaged just 4.9 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout his career and has not been a Fantasy factor.
News:The Sports Xchange notes that Bucks C Dan Gadzuric didn't get to play again Friday night against the Jazz, the 12th straight game he hasn't played. The last time the veteran center played was Feb. 17 against the Rockets when he got six minutes of court time.
Analysis: Since Gadzuric isn't seeing the court, he can remain on waivers in all Fantasy formats.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric (knee) returned to action Wednesday against the Blazers and scored seven points over 14 minutes. He shot 2 for 4 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds.

News: Bucks C Kurt Thomas had 10 rebounds to go with 8 points and 2 blocks in 30 minutes off the bench Saturday against Memphis. It was the first game for Milwaukee following the injury to Andrew Bogut that will keep him out 2-4 weeks. Dan Gadzuric started at center, but played just 9 minutes and scored only 2 points with 2 rebounds.
Analysis: Gadzuric got the start, but Thomas got the minutes. At this stage in his career, Thomas can't be relied upon as a regular starter, but he could be an interesting sleeper option as a replacement when the Bucks face favorable four-game weeks. Gadzuric does not appear to be a good option.
News: Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will be out for two to four weeks with a left leg injury. General manager John Hammond said late Thursday that Bogut suffered a leg strain and contusion in Wednesday's 99-85 win against New Jersey. Bogut scored 21 points and 11 rebounds before leaving the game in late in the fourth quarter. An MRI revealed the injury on Thursday. Dan Gadzuric and Kurt Thomas are likely to split time at center in his absence.
Analysis: Dan Gadzuric and Kurt Thomas will see a boost in playing time at center and Hakim Warrick could see a major boost at power forward for the Bucks along with Ersan Ilyasova. Gadzuric and Thomas remain very low-end Fantasy options with limited upside, but they could be of some use in deeper leagues where their added playing time will lead to at least some modest gains.
News: Milwaukee C Dan Gadzuric had one of his best games on Saturday in a loss to Miami. Gadzuric played 33 minutes as the starter and scored 18 points. He also ripped down 12 boards for the double-double and blocked a shot. Gadzuric added two steals and was 8-of-15 from the field.
Analysis: Gadzuric is still averaging just eight points and six boards per game over his last five contests, despite Saturday's big numbers. He's starting for Milwaukee but too often does little and really only needs to be owned in the deeper Fantasy leagues at this time.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric scored 10 points and grabbed six boards in 16 minutes of action against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gadzuric has barely even played over the Bucks last five games. He's not worth owning in Fantasy at this time.
News: With Andrew Bogut out for a minimum of eight weeks with a stress fracture in his lower back, the Bucks will use Francisco Elson and Dan Gadzuric at center. Elson, who has started the past three games, will start with Gadzuric in reserve. Coach Scott Skiles also has made use of a small lineup featuring Charlie Villanueva at the center spot, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We need a little bit more from everybody," Skiles said. "That's what you've got to do when key players go down."
Analysis: Elson is worth adding in deeper leagues at this time as a No. 2 Fantasy center since his playing time will increase. Elson has only topped 10 points once this season, but he has had at least seven rebounds in four of his past six games. Gadzuric has minimal Fantasy value at this time even with the increased minutes.
News: Milwaukee is once again missing Andrew Bogut to a back injury so center Dan Gadzuric got some playing time in Tuesday's loss at New Jersey. Gadzuric, who had played just three minutes in the previous three games, saw 17 minutes on the floor and scored seven points with nine rebounds and a block.
Analysis: Gadzuric could prove worth using in deeper leagues if Bogut is forced to miss and extended amount of time. Keep track of that situation but he's certainly not worth owning when Bogut is healthy.
News: According to The Sports Xchange, Bucks C Dan Gadzuric hasn't stepped up replacing Andrew Bogut in the starting lineup. Gadzuric went 1-for-4 against the Hawks and now has made only six of his last 28 shots from the field.
Analysis: Gadzuric's days as a starter are numbered as Bogut is nearing a return. Continue ignoring him in Fantasy play as he has done little even when given a chance at starting.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric scored seven points with three rebounds and an assist in Saturday's game at the Clippers. He continues to start in place of injured Andrew Bogut.
Analysis: The Bucks have little choice but to stick Gadzuric in there again and Fantasy owners should not invest much on him off the waiver wire. Even if he does continue to start, his upside is limited and so to will be his production.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Andrew Bogut will not accompany the Bucks on their three-game road trip that begins Friday in Sacramento. He is suffering from back spasms that have been bothering him for the past few weeks. Dan Gadzuric has started in the past when Bogut has been sidelined, but coach Scott Skiles declined to name a starter after practice on Thursday, suggesting that he was considering other options. "We may change the lineup in another way to try to make up for Andrew's absence," said Skiles. "We're talking about that so we'll see."
Analysis: It does not sound like the Bucks are too keen on sticking Gadzuric in there again and Fantasy owners should not invest much on him off the waiver wire. Even if he does start, his upside is limited and so to will be his production.
News: Milwaukee's seldom-used C Dan Gadzuric had 11 points and 14 rebounds on Wednesday, helping to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a 97-90 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Gadzuric played down the stretch with Andrew Bogut gone after getting hit in the face. He also had three blocks.
Analysis: Gadzuric hardly plays with Bogut healthy, so even if his Fantasy appeal saw a slight boost with Bogut injured, he should remain largely unowned in Fantasy.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric started for Andrew Bogut, out with a knee injury, Wednesday at Atlanta. He finished with six points and three rebounds in 18 minutes. Coach Scott Skiles said he liked the 6-foot-11 Gadzuric's size. "We don't want to start games too small," Skiles said before the game. "It's one thing to go small at some point in the game, but Danny's done a pretty good job on the interior defensively."
Analysis: Skiles might like Gadzuric's size in small doses, but he probably doesn't like it enough to keep him on the court for long. Gadzuric hardly plays with Bogut healthy, so even if his Fantasy appeal sees a slight boost with Bogut injured, he should remain largely unowned in Fantasy.
News: As usual in 2007, Bucks C Dan Gadzuric got nothing more than a handful of minutes Tuesday at Chicago in the 2008 season opener. He had six points and three rebounds in 15 minutes.
Analysis: Gadzuric plays a minimal role off the bench for the Bucks and doesn't deserve a roster spot in Fantasy.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric played just 2 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss at the Nets. He was held scoreless and managed just a foul and a turnover.
Analysis: Gadzuric's chances to play have been few and far in between and he is not a player that should be owned in Fantasy leagues at this time.
News: With Bucks center Andrew Bogut slowed by a bruised left hip, backup center Dan Gadzuric is getting more minutes. Gadzuric, who never more than 10 minutes in any game last month, has gotten at least 11 minutes in six straight games.
Analysis: Even with the extended playing time, Gadzuric still is not worth using in most Fantasy leagues. Consider him a low-end option at this time.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric played for eight minutes off the bench during a lopsided loss to the 76ers Wednesday. He made the most of his minutes by hitting both of his field goals and 3 of 4 free-throws on his way to seven points. He also had two rebounds, one assists and one steal.
Analysis: Gadzuric played his heart out Wednesday despite his team losing 112-69. Gadzuric is averaging about 10 minutes off the bench and is a nice jolt of energy for the Bucks. But he is one of those players that is far more valuable to his real than Fantasy owners.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Bucks backup C Dan Gadzuric made a rare, early-game appearance against the Pistons Monday. Gadzuric entered the second quarter and played 21 minutes. Gadzuric had played only nine minutes and had three DNP-CDs in the previous five games.

Analysis: Gadzuric doesn't play enough minutes to have any relevance in Fantasy.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric left with a bloody nose in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Pistons and did not return. He had four points and a rebound in eight minutes of play.
Analysis: Gadzuric had a bloody nose, which kids get every day in ever playground across America. Yeah, we think he'll play Tuesday at the Clippers. Hopefully, you don't have him on your Fantasy team, though, because he doesn't get the minutes to be relevant.
News: Bucks C Dan Gadzuric, filling in for the injured Andrew Bogut, led the Bucks in scoring in their preseason finale Friday at Minnesota. He scored 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting in 25 minutes of play. He also had eight rebounds.
Analysis: Bogut is questionable for the season opener, and Gadzuric showed why he makes a reasonable Fantasy, not to mention real-life, replacement for him if he misses any additional time. Still, consider Gadzuric as nothing more than insurance for Bogut in Fantasy.
News: Bucks center Dan Gadzuric, who failed to score and had three rebounds Monday against Orlando, bounced back impressively with a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds against Indiana Wednesday night.

News: Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut will likely miss the beginning of the season with a lower left leg sprain that is expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks. Bogut was helped off the court during a team scrimmage on Saturday after banging his leg into Steve Blake's knee. He did not return to the scrimmage.
Analysis: This means that Dan Gadzuric will enter the season as the team's starting center and it's a good idea for anyone who drafts Bogut in the middle rounds to take him as well. He won't be a major contributor in the offense, but should be good for five or six rebounds per night. Ha Seung Jin should also see increased playing time as a result. Look for Charlie Villanueva to be more active in the low-post and Brian Skinner should see a quick boost as well.
News: Several Bucks have already been working out at the team's practice facility, including Mo Williams, Charlie Bell and Dan Gadzuric.
Analysis: Williams and Bell could be fighting each other for minutes this season, but it's Williams who will get the nod to start the season. He's worthy of mid-round selection in Fantasy drafts, but adding Bell in the later rounds isn't a bad idea. As for Gadzuric, he's a mediocre option in very deep Rotisserie leagues. Even then, only as a reserve.
News: Larry Krystkowiak, the former Bucks forward whom the team hired over the summer as an assistant coach, will devote much of his time to the Bucks' big men, specifically Andrew Bogut. Krystkowiak wants Bogut, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft, to be more assertive on the offensive end of the floor.
Analysis: Bogut is in line for a big improvement this season and should be considered one of the better young centers in the league now that the path has been paved for him to become the everyday center. Krstkowiak should also help to improve the rebounding capabilities of young players like Charlie Villanueva and even Brian Skinner off the bench.

Analysis: Don't expect for this to last long, as Bogut is far too valuable to be a bench player and Gadzuric is far too weak to hold onto the job for long.
