[CP1708]

^ sh**, that's a pretty damn good squad, 'specially if you get Monta back to help out.

From the 9 spot.

 

[chigaa]

I'm doin it through ESPN. It's free and they do live scoring.

 

[ireminisce]

ten teams. fourth spot. yahoo.

first pick was amare.
second was stat.
third was caron.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

10 teams and you got Amare, Marion, Butler, Martin AND Calderon? That's nice.

Squad as a whole looks good.

That's a solid team, but with only three bench spots you're gonna need to drop either/both Haywood/Ellis.

And you have Gilbert? Damn.

Call this team "Team 55 games"

Well, I picked up Monta cause when he comes back, he'll be good. But Ithought Gilbert was ready to go this year?

Where should I improve on this team?

Haywood is out 4-6 months. Drop him for someone who can hit 3's/high %'s.
Gilbert is out till at least mid Dec/Jan 1st.

If this is a H2H league, you cannot afford to have your 3 bench spots taken up by injured folks. Your team is pretty strong, so you can afford to hold onto oneof them... but not all three. Drop Gil/Haywood and grab some %'s and 3's.

Damn, I gotta read before I draft. How about TMAC, how is he?

 

[Chester McFloppy]

TMac is constantly injured.

He'll miss games like he always does,but when he plays he puts up 3rd round numbers.

Who you got on the FA list?

 

[gko2408]

10 man, H2H, 1st time doing this with no prior research. I just couldnt stay away from Nash. he's my favorite player

. I feel like the only spot where I'm not contending at all is points. I'm not feeling to good about my bench though. I'm thinking of dropping Perkins and Yi and picking up Blatche and Brewer. What's the word onBlatch? Expected to see a lot of burn this year? He was good whenever he was given the minutes. Brewer I want to help in steals. What do you guys think?

1.	(9)	Steve Nash
2.	(12)	Caron Butler
3.	(29)	Marcus Camby
4.	(32)	Rasheed Wallace
5.	(49)	Chris Kaman
6.	(52)	T.J. Ford
7.	(69)	Derrick Rose
8.	(72)	Raymond Felton
9.	(89)	Andrei Kirilenko
10.	(92)	Kendrick Perkins
11.	(109)	Yi Jianlian
12.	(112)	Rudy Fernandez

 

[willinc]

WILLINC
1. (2) LeBron James
2. (19) Dwight Howard
3. (22) Joe Johnson
4. (39) Devin Harris
5. (42) Hedo Turkoglu

I felt good about it, but now not so much.

 

[japanair21]

I hate how some of you bastards have such easy drafts,

I'm pretty sure Yahoo! has a system where people that have won a lot in the past get to pick last..

i wish! this was the 2nd year in a row i was 2nd to last pick in the draft. last year i picked gilbert with the first pick cause he kept sayinghe was good to go in his blog and i was expecting a career year from him

. This year i picked a soon-to-be mid 30 steve nash cause he's my favorite player... this isn't going to end well for me...

 

[dtvu8759]

10 Teams
H2H
Standard 9 Cat Scoring
5 Keepers

My current team:

PG: Chris Paul (Kept)
SG: Ray Allen (2nd)
G: Randy Foye (4th)
SF: Rudy Gay (Kept)
PF: Chris Bosh (Kept)
F: Gerald Wallace (Kept)
C: Jermaine O'Neal (3rd)
C: Marcus Camby (Kept)
Util: Caron Butler (1st)
Util: Rafer Alston (9th)
Util: Charlie Villanueva (7th)
B: Gilbert Arenas (5th), Monta Ellis (6th), Wilson Chandler (8th), Luke Ridnour (10th), Tyrus Thomas (11th), Nate Robinson(12th). I drafted Monta and Gilbertwith the hopes that they come back healthy, then I'll have some bargaining chips

. How's the team look overall? Weaknesses?

Also, I have 4 current offers on the table and I need your help to figure out which one benefits me the most:

Trade #1
I get: Amare Stoudamire/Corey Maggette
I give: Marcus Camby/Ray Allen

Trade #2
I get: Dwight Howard/Raymond Felton
I give: Marcus Camby/Rafer Alston

Trade #3
I get: Josh Smith/Josh Howard
I give Marcus Camby/Ray Allen

Trade #4
I get: Joe Johnson/Andre Igoudala/Andres Biedrins
I give: Ray Allen/Gerald Wallace/Marcus Camby

All of them look as if they'd help in some way or another, but what will give me the upper hand?

I know I could have used my 1st post for something else, but any help is great! Thanks ahead of time...

 

[thasoleful1]

what's LBJ's value.
someone offered me Bosh n Iguodala is it worth it?

 

[dtvu8759]

I think it depends on your team, but I'd have to say that I'd still be asking for more in regards to trading LeBron... Post your team and his and letssee if we can get another trade worked out for you!!!
