yea I feel that.. Im gonna try to move one of my centers for a good sg.. I have a feeling Ariza is going to thrive with cp3

[ekrev]

here's my draft from last night...12 man league. i had the #12 pick...


my internet connection got messed up and i autodrafted Wesley Johnson (i know he's a rookie but i really dont know much about him or i didnt watch any preseason games). i was thinking of dropping redick or blake and pick up belinelli. but i do need 3's...

any thoughts on my picks, who i should add/drop, etc..?

^Belinelli is a shooter so why would you be concerned dropping shooters for another one?

Am I the only one that isn't sold on Belinelli whatsoever

 

[leonard109]

hey guys my first time playing fantasy
how many teams do most of you manage?
does it take a lot of time each day to manage?

i guess i just looked at playing time..Belinelli will be starting but then again Redick should be getting a good amount of playing time as well. i guess i'll just hold off for now and just see how this first week goes.

any other opinions?

I was offered Joe johnson for Kidd straight up.. Thoughts?

in the 2nd round? and you have durant which means you had the #1 pick? that would mean curry went with 20-something pick. i couldnt even get him with the 7th pick

where do you guys find these joke leagues at?

take joe johnson and run

sg's are the worst position in any fantasy league....most sg's cant get you too many stat categories 

thats why im tryin to get someone to take salmons from me...

nash

westbrook

salmons 

jeff green 

dirk

david west

nene

marc gasol

kg

bench

calderon 

d harris

had monta, but traded him for westbrook straight up. seemed like a good move... 

 

[duba169]

That's a tough one. If Blatche plays like he did at the end of last year, he'll be just as valuable as Blake. But w/Wall (and Arenas) joining the team, who knows if he will get the same opportunities as last season. Jameer will contribute in the assist and ft/fg % categories. Blake is too much of a wild-card to make a call either way on this deal.

Tough, tough, tough.
- I think Dunleavy is gonna have a good year. Don't know why. But I know he's always had the talent. He's just injury-prone.
- Butler is gonna be affected by the return of Blake and the addition of Gomes. But he's still the starter.
- Outlaw is gonna get pushed by T-Will for playing time.
- Delfino... maybe. But Corey, Salmons, BJ, Ilyasova, Gooden, and a returning Bogut are all serious contributors on this team. Even the Prince should still see some time. Unless he gets hot, I'm not sure how much you can expect from Delfino.
- Even though he's playing against the Knicks, I just don't trust Calderon. He burned me all of last year. And Jack played better ball than him. Even if Calderon starts, Jack is definitely gonna get some burn.
- Tay and Rip are both coming back. But so is BG. And Charlie V. Detroit is too stacked to expect major production from any one person.

I'd probably go in this order: Butler, Dunleavy, Outlaw, Rip/Tay, Delfino, Calderon.

Personally, I think your sf's are a good collection. Depending on who your pg's are, you can probably move a pg for a big.

He also has K-Mart and I was thinking Dwight/Rondo for LBJ/K-Mart. Sounds fair or too one-sided either way?

I claimed UD off waivers for Ibaka (hopefully I get him). And I figure I can always get another serviceable big man off waivers if I traded Dwight away.

 

[parada45]

Who should I go with 2night?

JJ Hickson vs Boston
Ibaka vs Chicago
Augustine at Dallas

 

[juicy j 32]

Parada- It depends on what category you think you will need. I kinda like DJ Augustine because Hickson/Ibaka will face tougher match ups.

Can someone please rate my team I drafted last night:
- Carmelo Anthony
- Tyreke Evans
- OJ Mayo
- John Wall
- Jeff Green
- DeMarcus Cousins
- Roy Hibbert
- Michael Beasley
- Ron Artest
- Johnny Flynn
- Channing Frye

I think this team might not be good, but I tried to draft some

players who I want to see ball.

 

[jayvee1220]

I have 2 offers for Devin Harris, one for Marc Gasol and the other Andrea Bargnani. which is the better deal? Gasol will get me rebounds and blocks (and he was on my 3rd place team last year) Bargnani will score, won't rebound as much but will bang some 3s.

My homie SHUGES, I don't think I'd do that trade.  I like that you have Dwight AND Rondo paired up.  Those two make you strong as hell in steals, assists, boards and blocks.  I actually think you might have too many PGs and I think i'd try to trade Blatche and/or Brand for a Marc Gasol, Bogut, Hibbert or Joakim Noah.  I feel Bogut and Marc Gasol would compliment Dwight better than Blatche and Brand.  I also think I’d try and trade away Baron for a 20 point scorer that can hit 3’s too.  I like that Ibaka pick up though.  Just my thoughts.
  

 

[shuges]

Appreciate that, Trust!

Yeah, I like Rondo + Dwight. But both of them will drag my ft% way down. That was the only reason I considered trading them both. Especially since I have more than enough pg's to make up for losing Rondo (stupid auto-draft!).

But I'll take a wait and see approach for now.

Thanks man.
