Dude. This team is not good. I would start trading like crazy if I was you. Trade your overated players for underrated players (andre miller, mike miller, wally world) and keep an eye out for break out players (last year: delonte west, david west, smush parker) that you can pick up on free agency and dump your garbage (curry, gay). Oh and I won two of my four leagues last year (2nd and 3rd for the other two). So you can trust me on this.
nice nice, mohommed and kevin martin will be great im reluctant to pick anyone from the clips besides brand their team is so balanced kenyon martin and hilario im debating...hilario still in the FA pool in my league
I'm trying to think what players could you trade for others: Chris Webber, Stephen Jackson. For: Gilbert Arenas/Allen Iverson/Nash/Paul. Package them up real neat ok? Like send an email saying: I'm offering Chris Webber and Stephen Jackson for Arenas/Iverson/Nash/Paul. Now I know it sounds crazy, but Chris Webber had 20/10 last year, and he played an incredible 75 games! Who's to say he can't do it again? Stephen Jackson scored an incredible 41 points in that Indiana series against the Nets, one of the top teams in the East. Now that they are primed for another playoff run, the Pacers coach will be sure to package Jackson into the offensive lineup. Lol, convincing or what?
GET HIM! (Nene would be used as a second center though, GET MARCUS WILLIAMS!) He should be ok as a rookie, and he will learn from Jason Kidd.
I do not like that trading for Novak. He may be good for threes, but little else, so my advice: Drop Novak for a sleeper in the FA pool. Try Earl Watson, Shaun Livingston or even Stro.
I'd actually wait on Nene (i think he slightly injured himself recently right?) ... I'd rather check the FA pool for often overlooked centers like ZaZa, Pryzybilla, or even Nazr maybe...kevin martin is also in the FA pool of alot of leagues.
Interestingly, I think you may've been featured on the NBA fantasy site: Never Trade LeBron, Unless… If LeBron James is THE best player in fantasy basketball, then you should NEVER trade him if you adhere to the "best player" principle. For example, while it was a close call, I advised one owner against trading James, Tim Duncan and Andrei Kirilenko for Dwyane Wade, Elton Brand, and Marcus Camby. However, when Matt Droughan from Toronto, Canada who had a huge need for three-point field goals, asked if he should trade LeBron, Brandon Roy and Emeka Okafor in exchange for Ray Allen, Boris Diaw and Brad Miller, I told him he should accept the deal: "Ray Allen is a top 10 player and by far the best in total three-point field goals made. I am also very high on Boris Diaw and Brad Miller, who would be improvements over Roy and Okafor. Given your other talent, I would advise you to go ahead and make the deal." Matt's strong roster could withstand the loss of LeBron, but don't trade him if you are going to cry in your coffee every time he goes off for 30 points. Yeah I know you don't have Allen, Diaw and Miller on your team now, but did you have them before? Looks rather similar to me.
That would be hella funny.. and a Huge coincidence. Nice trading regardless. I think Novak, D. Stoudamire should be dumped though. As for the not trading Lebron thing, I say the opposite. I say if you have the number one slot, you pick lebron and trade his ass immediatly. Lebron is really overrated in that the dropoff from Lebon to an Arenas or Ray allen is not that steep (and shawn marion is better). So you trade Lebron and a 5 or 6 rounder for a good 1st and 2nd rounder. I just traded Lebron and andre miller for Shawn Marion and Dwight Howard.
i suggest you drop eddy curry. isiah will play him around 30mins per game, which will boost his points by 2-3 but that also means his TO's will increase as well, which is already horrendous. his rebs/blks are horrible too.. you have enough TO's with stevie and tony , carmelo try trading him for someone like....chris wilcox? darko? or kwame
thats a nice trade. shawn marion imo is better than lebron fantasy-wise, and dwight will be a monster who do you have that will provide you with assists though? i think andre is up to 9, 10 assists with the new denver up-tempo offense
Say WHAT?!@#@# Shawn Marion and Dwight Howard form the third best Foward-Foward combination in the league (trailing Shawn Marion-Kevin Garnett and Garnett-Duncan)! One player alone averages 10 rebound, both will get you at least 2000 rebounds a season (Dwight got 1202 rebounds last season, Marion can't remember, but it was double digits) and 2000 rebounds= 2000 fantasy points. Assists, hell, pick them off Shaun Livingston or somebody else on the Waiver line..
yeah that's the thing. When i looked at my roster, i noticed that i had no real rebounding, but plenty of extra assists with Brad miller and Diaw at Center. So with the trade i pretty much balanced everything out and gained a whole lot more rebounding.
ROUND PICK PLAYER POS 1 2 Shawn Marion F 2 9 Yao Ming C 3 2 Tracy McGrady GF 4 9 Antawn Jamison F 5 2 Tony Parker PG 6 9 Morris Peterson GF 7 2 Josh Howard GF 8 9 Samuel Dalembert C 9 2 Tayshaun Prince SF 10 9 Channing Frye FC 11 2 Troy Murphy PF 12 9 Speedy Claxton PG 13 2 Earl Watson PG 14 9 Joel Przybilla C This is the team I drafted. Now with the team I currently have: Shaun Livingston (LAC - PG) (off the waiver line for Luther Head, who I got off the Waiver line for Morris Peterson) Tracy McGrady (HOU - GF) Stephon Marbury (NY - PG) (Traded for Tony Parker) Antawn Jamison (WAS - F) Shawn Marion (PHO - F) Mehmet Okur (UTA - FC) (Waiver line pickup for Channing Frye) Chris Kaman (LAC - C) (waiver line pickup for Joel) Yao Ming (HOU - C) Speedy Claxton (ATL - PG) Earl Watson (SEA - PG) Larry Hughes (CLE - SG) (waiver line for Dalembert) Josh Howard (DAL - GF) Tayshaun Prince (DET - SF) Troy Murphy (GS - PF) Hmm, what do you think of this lineup then? Horrible? Great? World's worse team?
Mo Pete >>>>>> Luther Head or Livingston. Get Mo Pete back immediately. Other than that, very nice job. I can't believe you got Okur off waivers.
