    Hi, please rate my team from 1-10 and give me some advice...I had a pretty bad draft (missed it and did not set up the automatic draft thingy before the draft), so I ended up with this team initially (10-team league, roto):

    PG: Andre Miller
    SG: Finley
    SF: McGrady
    PF: Vin Baker
    C: Hakeem
    PG/SG: Baron Davis
    SG/SF: Penny
    SF/PF: Mashburn
    PF/C: Joe Smith
    UTIL: Alvin Williams
    Bench: Travis Best, Eric Snow

    I would rate this team 3 out of 10 at best...

    Then I did some trading and now my team is:

    PG: Andre Miller
    SG: Francis
    SF: McGrady
    PF: Nowitzki
    C: Duncan
    PG/SG: Snow
    SG/SF: McKie
    SF/PF: Rashard Lewis
    PF/C: Antonio McDyess*
    UTIL: Kirilenko
    Bench: Mercer, Jumaine Jones
    IR: Hakeem*


    I'd say this team gets 8 out 10...I'm in 3rd place right now, far behind in games played, and Francis and McDyess* still have not played a game for me. It's a very competitive league (all winners), but if no more trades are made, I am pretty sure I would win the league with that team.

    My next plans are to trade McDyess* and Snow to some guy for Shaq* and Brandon* - I keep telling the guy that Shaq is a terrible category killer for FT % and that he is better off with 45 games of McDyess than with 50 games of Shaq (which I believe to be true). I think he will do it.

    Then, I want to trade Shaq to this guy who is by far last in FT % for Webber (argument: Shaq's numbers are better than Webber's except FT % and he has no chance to move up in FT % anyway, both is true). I think that guy will also do it.

    Then, I want to trade Webber and Hakeem for Garnett and some scrub. He will do it, but I might have to throw in a bit more...

    Then, I want to trade Brandon (when healthy) and Lewis for Kidd...I think it's possible, perhaps if I throw in Mercer for someone who is even worse.

    That would leave me with

    PG: Andre Miller
    SG: Francis
    SF: McGrady
    PF: Nowitzki
    C: Duncan
    PG/SG: Kidd
    SG/SF: McKie
    SF/PF: Kirilenko
    PF/C: Garnett
    UTIL: Mercer or whoever
    Bench: whoever
    IR: whoever

    Obviously, I would still try to get rid of Mercer and to get an upgrade from McKie and Kirilenko (I've been trying to get Rose for McKie, perhaps if Rose stinks it up a bit more, it might work...), but with one or two nice surprise waiver pickups, that would be my dream team - 10 out of 10 :).

    It depends on the strength of the rest of your league.

    I would give it a 9(With no knowledge of the strength of the rest of your league)
