Hell

and.


No.

HELL NO.

Chandler > Camby because Chandler has a PG who spoon feeds him.

Howard will be MUCH more consistent then an at best fourth option player, plus he'll get you boards.

i'm in the same boat man


now that sessions isn't starting anymore, should i drop him to pick up nate robinson or anthony parker?
 
Trade help:

Receive Jamal Crawford, NY SG
Receive Andris Biedrins, GS C
Receive Mickael Pietrus, Orl SG
Receive Jason Maxiell, Det PF
Send Andre Iguodala, Phi SF
Send Charlie Villanueva, Mil PF
Send Ryan Gomes, Min SF
Send Ramon Sessions, Mil PG


h2h points league.
 
Biedrins ~ Iguodala
Crawford < Sessions
Mikael > Villanueva
Maxiell > Gomes

Only reason I put Biedrins relatively equal to Iguodala is because Iggy has been slumping so much, he turns the ball over, has very low FG%. Sessions is betterthan Crawford IMO, and the other two should be relatively simple.

If you're going to tank assists, I guess I'd do it.
 
Should I do this trade?

Give up Rajon Rondo

Receive Ryan Gomes

Rondo is giving me assists and steals (hurting my ft % tho)
 
I gave up Udirh the other night, been playing like poop.

As far as Jamal Crawford, I've expected more out of him with D'Antoni's offense - I'm trying to trade him because I need more assists, but thething with crawford he's one of those players who can just light up out of nowhere. But all he gives me is points, I hope i can pry away kidd for him

Sessions will not be better than Crawford. Once Redd comes back, i think Sessions numbers will drop, whereas Crawford is just strugglin a littleright now.
 
Tyrus Thomas is pissing me off, dude was showing SO much promise in the pre-season, dude had me fooled..
smh.gif


Man, I'm in a tough-spot, I want to pick up Nene (averaging 15/9), but the thing is the only players I can drop are either Horford, Aldridge, or Kaman..

I don't know how much longer I can wait...

Should I trade Horford and Lee

to get Bynum?

I'm getting killed on blocks and turnovers (rebounds and scoring are not a problem)

I would not. Once the rosters are set Lee will have more value. Plus Horford was nice last year so this year can only get better.

Nene gets a boost because they just got Chauncey, but I would NOT drop any of those players for him. Yes he is putting up numbers but health hasbeen an issue like every year for him.
 
^ thanks

what do you think about this trade:

Give:
1. Rondo
2. Corey Maggette
3. Roger Mason

Receive:
1. TJ Ford
2. Gerald Wallace

edit: i'm worried about injury issues for both maggette and wallace though
 
I'd do that trade Kal.

Four more drafts today..

I had the first draft pick for the first time I can remember.

. Fairly satisfied with the way this one went, I took Raja instead of Manu though, wasn't really thinking for the future.
tired.gif
.Scola, Nene, Biedrins, Okafor, and Bynum = lock down on rebounds/blocks ,
pimp.gif
. I'll definitely be losing points a lot, but I have a decent amount ofassists players and three-point shooters. Not great, but I like it.

Note: I was happy to get Caron so late, he's really underrated IMO. Obviously I'll be losing assists, but that wasn't my focus with this draft. Ihave about seven big-time scorers and I try to support that with good rebounders and big men who shoot high %'s. I only got Ridnour/Sessions because theyfill up the stat-sheet as PG's other than just assists.

Note: I reallllly like this team. With Paul, Calderon, Sessions, and Chalmers, (not to mention SJAX and McGrady who both get 4-5 assists a night, I hopethat'll be enough to lock up assists. I never really tried getting assists in a League, but this is looking good. Tried stacking up on scorers after I gotmy guards, but I have a lot of stat-stuffing players so I think I'll be good barring injuries... CP3, TD, Calderon, Beans, Wallace, SJAX, Tracy, Sessions,Chalmers and Azubuike are all capable of getting lots of varying stats.

League 4- 5th pick (G/F/C only)

Note: This league doesn't have PG/SG/SF/PF, so I really took advantage, totally tanked assists, and went for the guys who fill it up all over the place (Iskipped over Dirk for the first time to get Wade
eek.gif
laugh.gif
). I like how Wade can get 25/5/5 /w 2-3 steals, Caron can get 25/8/5 /w 2-3 steals, TD is a 20/10guy with blocks, Jamison is a 20/10 guy as well, Redd lights it up and gets threes, Howard is a volume scorer, Tyson Chandler is a 10/10/3 guy, Zach is a 20/10guy, Rip gets his points, Manu is a good grab late... Nene/Scola to support my rebounders, and then Chalmers for steals.

I've lost count of how many Leagues I have right now... I think it's 24.
 
It's not that hard. I only update my teams twice a week, on Sundays and Mondays.

I'm trying to rely more on my drafts now, before I made good moves but didn't draft well.

It doesn't take too much time, longest part is just the drafting, but updating my rosters takes a while because I check how well they've been doing,who's having ups and downs, check up on injuries.

My main e-mail is the League I keep track of the most, this year I just decided I'm draft a bunch more because it's entertaining, and just update andnot worry so much about making my team too much better (unless there's some sleeper who's shining). Helps that I have a good memory, and I know whichplayers I either do or do not have.
 
^ Damn props to being able to keep up with 24 teams. I have 3 teams this year (most I've ever done usually it's 2) and I already am forgetting who ison what team and what FA's are available in what league.

Tough because you know that McGrady and Baron are both injury prone so the longer you hold on to them, the more likely they're going to gethurt and negatively affect your team. But on the other hand, they're both so talented. I'm leaning toward you keeping McGrady and Baron. McGrady getsyou points, rebounds, and assists... to along with Baron's points, assists, steals, and 3's.
