I've got one spot open too, my fellow Blazer follower. I'd love to join another league.

Should I trade away Greg Oden?

 

[japanair21]

I'll give you and Nowitness priority then, so I have 5 spots filled. (two of my dudes, you two, and me).

Nice team. Like JapanAir said, it's not bad and not great at the same time. I don't see youdominating a category. Judging from last season's stats, in blocks, you only have one guy over 119 and the next guy is at 79. FG% is going to be toughalso. Your 3's isn't bad, I mean you have 182, 166, and 134 but then your next person to help you in 3's is with only 43. Same with rebounding...Jefferson got you a 911 in rebounds and your next guy is about 300 rebounds less than that. I mean, I'd imagine your team would be in the middle of thepack... probably 4-8 in the standings unless you make some moves.

12 Teams, H2H, 10th pick

Looks like you overloaded on SF/PF players

. You need at least another C on your squad.

I think you're going to need more assists on your squad. If the bulk of your rebounds are going to come from only Okafor and West, I thinkyou'll need to address that soon.

Trades:

Al Jefferson and Al Thornton for Pau Gasol and Josh Howard...

Al Jefferson and Rudy Gay for Kevin Garnett, Luol Deng, and Jameer Nelson...

My roster is up top on this page... Should I take either?

If either of the two, I'd do that one. Depends on how you see Thornton doing this year, I don't see him being too good. Pau will just getyou under what Al Jefferson gets, and Josh Howard WILL be better then Thornton, by a lot.

I beg to differ. I think that having Bynum back full time will have an effect on Pau's stats. Nowitness, if I were you, I don't do any of those trades.

 

[presequel]

If anyone wants another league to join, pm me.

 

[japanair21]

Man, I always pick last..

 

[thasoleful1]

ayo i got a draft coming up on wednesday with a couple of my friends its a 10 man league whats some of the strategies going into the draft?

 

[japanair21]

Another draft done, where I end up being the last pick..

13 Rounds, 12 players,

OrangeSodaOrangutans

Round Pick Player Position
1. (12) Baron Davis PG
2. (13) Steve Nash PG

Not a good draft, just didn't have many options..

 

[franchise 55]

I trade: D-Wade and Josh Smith

Receive: STAT and J-Rich.

What do you guys think? I pretty much need help in every category so I don't think posting the rest of my roster is really necessary.

That's a tough call. Honestly, they both help your team but I would need to take a look at your team to see what categories you need most help with.

 

[franchise 55]

^
14 team league FTL

PG: Randy Foye
SG: D-Wade
SF: Gerald Wallace
PF: Josh Smith
C: Jermaine O'neal
C: Ben Wallace
G: Stephen Jackson
F: David West
Uti: T-Mac
Uti: JR Smith
Uti: Rashad McCants
BN: Matt Barnes

As you can see, I need help everywhere. Half my team will be injured at the end of the year too.

 

[paul is on tilt]

With the Wade and Smith, you got advantages in blocks, steals, FT% because of how many Wade will shoot by himself, assists

With Stoudemire and Richardson, you got advantages in 3's, points, rebounds, less turnovers

(if Wade stays healthy), FG%

Go with what categories you think you can win if you get that advantage on your team... Another thing to consider is that you need another center. Your centersaren't that great. O'Neal is an injury risk and Ben Wallace has had a decline in his production in each of the last two years.

 

[franchise 55]

Yeah I know my C's are weak. It's hard to be solid at every position though with 14 teams in the league. Damn I still don't know what I'm goingto do.

Which player do you want to hold onto more? Wade or J-Smoove?

 

[franchise 55]

Smoove because I feel he offers more in the rare stat categories. I'm trying to not let my personal feelings get involved in it too because when I firstsaw the proposal with J-Rich in it, I wanted to accept immediately.

I was thinking of trying to counteroffer but after looking at your team again, I'd be hard to put together a good enough offer

. Uhh... sowe're back to the drawing board. I'd still accept it because STAT would help you with your centers. You already have a handful SGs so losing Wadewouldn't hurt as much. Plus you're getting J-Rich in return so he again solidifies your SGs.

 

[jordan201]

What's up guys?

I wanna join a FB league, but I've never played it before.

I don't understand the scoring and none of that. Any help would be appreciated.

Like, what kind of players should I draft, etc?
