Those were my picks ^

I quite like how it panned out but one concern is assists... I'm not strong with PG's but I'm real strong on rebounds and blocks...

I waived Stuckey and went with Fernandez off the bat, I think he will get about 30 mins a night with Portland, could be this year's Calderon as he racks up stats when on court.

I'm thinking of shipping off Kaman for a decent PG... Mo Williams, Devin Harris perhaps. Or I could try Chandler for Foye, Crawford or A. Miller.


Jerryd Bayliss is still available in my league! But I can't think of who is crap enough to drop to pick him up.. should I?

What you reckon?

 

[Borgsta]

Both Ginobli and Ellis are going to be missing for a fair amount of time. You are incredibly weak on 3's, should dominate steals and blocks if Wallace stays healthy.

I get the feeling Stuckey is going to have a solid fantasy year.

 

[Falchoon]

Grant Hill doesn't project to see a lot of time, I'd rather have Stuckey and having both Ellis and Ginobli is too big of a risk, I'd look to offload Ellis.

 

[realsniper09]

You drafted LeBron, but then fixed his FT% with Durant & Martin, bringing to nearly 80% I'd imagine. Then you got guys like Wallace, Tyson, and Bogut, who drag it down a lot. Not looking good in that category. The way you'll improve it is to ship off the weakness, not trying bring guys in to strengthen it. I think FT% is your main concern at this stage, because it's hard to fight back from a low-ish %.

You seem to recognise your other concerns. Assists, 3's.

I don't think you'll get anything for Ellis, being drafted in the 120's.

 

[TheLakeshow]

you got lebron at 3!?

 

[mdc]

Hill and Scola aren't good enough to be starting, and you're definitely going to be struggling for assists, threes, and quite likely FT%.

Look to move one of Chandler/Bogut (I'd move Bogut) for a PG as you said, and work the wire to try to find someone more productive than Hill/Scola.

you shouldn't have any trouble trading your centres because odds are some teams won't have any.

 

[eathb]

just dropped Marbury, and Marcus Williams.

added Jordan Farmer and Trevor Ariza for depth.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Grant Hill is good for a deep roto league because he doesn't hurt you anywhere.

I like his shooting % for roto.

LOL, you should the two fellas i'm starting.

Was pick 11 and my league went crazy in taking centres, most have 5 or 6 so i decided to go very very light in that area.

My Yahoo Fantasy Team, H2H

Allen Iverson
Vince Carter
Brandon Roy
Josh Howard
Kevin Garnett
Richard Jefferson
Shaquille O'Neal
Erick Dampier
Zach Randolph
Michael Beasley
Derrick Rose
Mike Conley
Manu Ginobili

Yes, i'm horribly depleted in the centre department and because i've only got two, i miss out on one players stats a few times which is kind of an issue but i think my team can deal with that.

I'm hoping my team can hold on for the first month or so before i get Manu back. With him back i think my team will be strong. Will struggle in FT%, Blocks and maybe 3 pointers. The other positions i'm confident in winning, especially when Manu gets back.

What do you fellas think?

 

[mdc]

What do you fellas think?

Not only do you only have 2 centres, you have 2 absolute duds for centres.

I think Roy has more currency than he should, and he's the perfect candidate for a trade.

I'd offer him for Biedrins or David Lee, and probably even Okur or Troy Murhpy.

I'd also be dangling Rose and Beasley, unless it's a keeper. Rookies are always overrated.

I'm reluctant to trade most of my players because they are players i like, especially Roy. While my centres are horrible, don't think it hinders my production to much. Miss out of block and FT% as i said but other than that, still have a very good chance to win the others.

I have been playing Yahoo H2H for a few years and alway make the final, albeit i did have high picks in those years.

Would consider trading Garnett and Beasley though, maybe i can conger something up for those two. Any ideas?

The point I was trying to get across is - you have 2 players starting which shouldn't be anywhere near starting. In fact, I don't think either Dampier or O'Neal should even be on a roster.

Roy is one of my favourite players too, but his production and injury history dictates he be drafted no earlier than 60's...he's getting picked up early 40's...which is why I would trade him.

Garnett is being undervalued this year as far as I can tell - people are only remembering the end of the season, not the first 2 months where he was hands-down the best fantasy player.

Beasley I'd move for anyone solid. Ilgauskas would be an excellent get, or even guys like Bogut/Okafor. You can't win starting 2 duds at C, with no back-up. Or at least it'd require a miracle.

 

[realsniper09]

Agree with mdc here.

I have come NO WHERE near drafting Roy this year because I believe his value is way too high for what he is worth at the moment in fantasy. You should try building a small ball team aiming to also win rebounds & TOs. I'd do an Okur for Roy trade, or Jamison.

KG was no where near 'hands-down' best fantasy player in first 2 months last year. He was alright, but CP3 & LeBron were well ahead at that stage. But he's a great pickup at 11 especially for your rebound and steal categories.

Your FT% is not bad, but your FG% is. I wouldn't trade for any bad FT% guy at this point because it'll wreck that category. You are right with your poor blocks, but I think you can compete in 3's when Manu comes back.

He was definitely first for X weeks to start the season, where X is somewhere between 6-8. Paul was 1 for the rest of the season. They were the only 2.

Definitely going to be tough with those two wonderful centres, kind of wanted a tough year though, might have made it a little too tough.

Beasley to Big-Z would be a very good trade for me if i could get it. Would help my FG%, FT% and Blocks without loosing points. This would also mean i could drop Dampier.

Basically what i was trying to do to start off with. Everyone was taking C much much higher than what they seemed to be worth. Most team have 5-6 centres which pushed me towards this stratergy. Wasn't expecting all centres to be gone and when it was later on in the draft, found myself with very very little options.

Honestly, just can bring myself around to trade Roy. As i said above, might look to trade Beasley for Big-Z. Might loose a 3 point or two though but with Manu back in a month or so, should get that stat up.

What about Jermaine O'Neal? Straight swap for Beasley? or would Big-Z be the better bet?

 

[eathb]

fantasy advice plz:

h2h, keeper league, 16 teams.

got offered J-Rich and Mo Williams for Bosh and Farmer.

Chauncey Billups

Nene
Joakim Noah
Brad Miller

[realsniper09]

is it a dynasty? if not, how many do you keep?

standard 9 cats?

without knowing any of that, it seems like a pretty good offer for a 16-team league, and you seem to have enough big men to cover the loss of Bosh.

but need to know how many you keep first!

What do you fellas think?

Half way through the year and this is my team right now, i think it is a drastic improvement on my starting one.

Derrick Rose
Allen Iverson
Vince Carter
Brandon Roy
Richard Jefferson
Kevin Martin
Josh Howard
Luol Deng
Manu Ginobilli
Shaq O'Neill
Kendrick Perkins
Kevin Garnett
Zach Randolph

A few injuries there, Randolph out until the All-Star break and Perkins day-to-day with a few others still carrying niggles.

I'm sitting 2nd, 2 GB ahead of 3rd but 8 behind first place. I've had a bad run with injuries which has slowed my production down a little but i don't have the most durable players going around.

Question fellas, Chris Kaman has just been dropped, he is also out until the All-Star break, smart thing to get him in for Perkins or not? I've got my next two weeks against 2 of the lower teams but the league is pretty even, take the chance with him or just let him pass?

 

[raffrox]

I'd drop Perkins for Kaman.

Perkins has been ok but nothing that you can't find on the waiver wire at a later date if Kaman doesn't turn out imo.

 

[Borgsta]

Hard to say. Kaman has been on the back in 2 weeks category for about 2 months now so you really don't know if he will be back after the all-star break and if he will be any good with Camby playing pretty well and who knows what's happening with Randolph.

If you drop Perkins how many teams would be likely to pick him up?

Personally I'd be willing to take the risk but I'm a compulsive gambler.

 

[Cruiser23]

Yeh i'm leaning that way, it sounds like Perkins is playing against Miami so i may wait until the end of this week to pick up Kaman (i'm playing the top team this week), hopefully he is still there.

There is a rumour that Kaman is looking for a trade and i don't blame him. Not sure how Randolph, Camby and Kaman are going to work together, i would think it would be in the Clippers best interests to look to trade one for a guard.

Well i'd think someone would snap him up pretty quickly. There are no good centres left really, Spencer Hawes in there and could be a great get if Miller is traded but that is no certainty. Jason Thompson has been promising lately, Ben Wallace is also available. McDyess who has been playing well lately, Dampier and Przybilla are the other notiable players that are available. Not much to choose from as per usual so i would think Perkins wouldn't last long.

I'm thinking of picking him up but as i said above, it looks like Perkins may play against Miami so i may keep him for a few more days and hope Kaman is still available in a weeks time. As i said in my other post i don't have a whole lot of competition for the next two weeks so i may be alright with 2 less players (Randolph and Kaman).

It is a tough decision though because as you said, there is still no certainty he will play after the All-Star break, Randolph also. Both don't have much of a timetable so it is hard to judge whether another person is going to pick Chris up or not.

 

[sirlothie]

My team picked up big time too...

I started with:

PG Derrick Rose
SG Kevin Durant
G Kevin Martin
SF LeBron James
PF Gerald Wallace
F Grant Hill
C Chris Kaman
C Andrew Bogut
Util Tyson Chandler
Util Luis Scola
BN Manu Ginobili
BN Monta Ellis
BN Rudy Fernandez


Now I have:

Rodney Stuckey
Derrick Rose
Kevin Durant
Manu Ginobili
LeBron James
Gerald Wallace
Luis Scola
Kevin Martin
Boris Diaw
Andrew Bogut
Chris Kaman
Carlos Boozer
Kirk Hinrich

and just today I dumped Tyson Chandler for Carlos Boozer... Chandler has been shitting me all season long and Boozer wants back before the All-Star games which gives him 29 games left if he makes it so I took the punt. I also ditched Mike Miller who also has been infuriating and picked up Kirk Hinrich to padlock him to Derrick Rose just in case he hits the rookie wall.

Injuries have killed me so far, I rode out Ginobili, then Martin, then Kaman and now I will have to ride out Boozer but if I can get everyone healthy for the last 30 games I will storm home now.

12 man roto 9 cat btw.

 

[eathb]

i got offered Paul Pierce for Jason Terry.

do it? h2h 16man fantasy league.
