I am also thinking or trying to trade Mcdyes for Marc Gasol.
I am not set on Brewer either, it might nto be too possible but I think I would try to trade him for Thornton, maybe for Derrick Rose too.
Are those good ideas?

Ridnour might be the better choice of the two. Marc Gasol is meh until we see him, as far as I know, it's Darko and Warrick in the frontcourt/w Rudy.

Ronnie Brewer? If you can get Derrick Rose for him, go ahead, if not, stay with Brewer.

Best Fantasy Squad ever???

Nah I think I did pretty damn good for the 5th pick in a 12 man draft... My assists needs work but no one is touching my scoring and rebounding tho.

you took Dwight (maybe even Yao AND Roy) too early. his TO and FT% is going to kill you. You could have gotten Dwight in the second maybe third round. Also, your team is going to be riddled with injuries...good luck. Your team is basically going to be strong in one, MAYBE two categories

D12 too early??? I stopped reading after that...

I wish we were in the same league... I'd put money up on this squad against anyone's and this ain't even my best fantasy team.
I damn near took the chip last season and it was my first time doing fantasy ever... Plus I've been betting the NBA for 5 years now, so I follow and watchthis @%*+ all day. I think I know what's good...

Good luck to you tho... But you sound like you know everything so you prolly don't need it.

Yes, Ronnie Brewer. Will Rose get playing time though?
I have a feeling he might get buried with Gordon and Hinrich in the same position.

No disrespect, but I sure hope thats not your best fantasy squad....i didnt say it was a bad idea to draft Dwight, but come on bruh...6th OVERALL,when you could have taken him in the 2nd round? The team i posted would crush that team and thats in a 14 team league. I am interested to see what your recordwill be at the end of the season....

Only 49 posts tho... Yeah you gonna dip and register a new name for sure.

Nobody said anything about having Jordan etc., thats YOU thats acting like you have an unbeatable squad...im just sayin you think that your squad is all thatwhen it has major holes(like most fantasy teams). but to each its own. if you wanna see my squad just scroll up. BTW, who knows what type of league you in andwhat kinda managers are in it so you winning that league could be a mute point (after all you did draft Dwight 6th overall so no telling what those othermanagers are capable of).

EDIT: And you say look at my post count? LOL, look how long ive been here...i rarely post, if at all

[juicy j 32]

I can't believe you got LaMarcus that late.... Other than that I think your squad looks pretty competitive. A hell of a lot better than the one in the postabove yours.

 

[rfx45]

^^^ It's an 8-man league, but no-one wanted Aldridge?
I would probably would have picked Aldridge over Terry and Salmons.

I dont know why no one picked him but I didnt realize he was still there until I actually picked him.

Best Fantasy Squad ever???

Nah I think I did pretty damn good for the 5th pick in a 12 man draft... My assists needs work but no one is touching my scoring and rebounding tho.

you took Dwight (maybe even Yao AND Roy) too early. his TO and FT% is going to kill you. You could have gotten Dwight in the second maybe third round. Also, your team is going to be riddled with injuries...good luck. Your team is basically going to be strong in one, MAYBE two categories

D12 too early??? I stopped reading after that...

I wish we were in the same league... I'd put money up on this squad against anyone's and this ain't even my best fantasy team.
I damn near took the chip last season and it was my first time doing fantasy ever... Plus I've been betting the NBA for 5 years now, so I follow and watch this @%*+ all day. I think I know what's good...

Good luck to you tho... But you sound like you know everything so you prolly don't need it.

Well, I say you took Dwight too early too, how about that? Who are your three point shooters? Just SJAX and Antawn? Won't cut it. What willyou do about shot blocking if Yao or Dwight gets hurt? Stop tooting your horn, your team isn't that good. You're going to lose assists every week too,and probably steals. Don't be so rude next time, just a heads up, that guy that posted is pretty much right. You have a lot of injury risks, and your 10-13picks aren't great.

Who am I better at keeping? Hill or Stuckey? I think I have a chance to get Ridnour for Stuckey too.
Maybe Stuckey for Fernandez?

Yes, Ronnie Brewer. Will Rose get playing time though?
I have a feeling he might get buried with Gordon and Hinrich in the same position.


Are you being offered Rose for Brewer right now? Unless you absolutely are in need of some scoring, I'd keep Brewer, he'll supply threes and steals,and I'm just not too sure about Rose. I guess if you can scoop up Rose though, you'd have to do it. I'd try to get Fernandez or Ridnour of youcould.

 

[rfx45]

Thanks again JA21. I'll try and get Rose for Stuckey, it's a longshot but if all else fails, I'll try and stay with Brewer for now because ofRose's injury.
It doesn't sound bad but who knows.
Then maybe Fernandez for McDyess and Hill for Ridnour.
Then keep an eye on Blatche, I might drop Nene to pick him up instead but I'd have to see how he does for a week or so.

Thanks for all the advice.

That about sums it up.

What the hell do the Mavs have to do with anything? JapanAir knows more about basketball than almost anybody I've ever talked to.

I didn't know you needed to be a Lakers/Celtics fan to know anything about basketball... thanks for the memo. Lemme guess your reply...
