    Heys..

    Some questions before I can answer this one..

    What fantasysports league are you playing in?
    What are the catagories that the league are setup for?

    Tips.. Grab your starters, and average out the best you can your average point, rebs, blks etc. Compare to other teams, it'll help to see your team a little better comparative =)

    Hahaha. It was an auto-draft and that's what I got. I was asking for help on how to improve it since I didn't know how to play before. But I learned (on my own since I didn't get any help) and I'm doing pretty well. Here's my team now. It's a Yahoo league with my friends:

    PG Marbury, Stephon (PG-Pho)
    SG Artest, Ron (GF, SF-Ind)
    G McKie, Aaron (GF-Phi)
    SF Kirilenko, Andrei (SF, PF-Uta)
    PF Randolph, Zach (PF-Por)
    F Murphy, Troy (PF-GS)
    C Curry, Eddy (FC, C-Chi)
    C Collins, Jason (C-NJ)
    Util Davis, Ricky (GF-Bos)
    Util Armstrong, Darrell (PG-NO)
    Bench Carter, Vince (GF, SG-Tor)
    Bench Mason, Desmond (GF-Mil)
    Bench Ratliff, Theo (FC-Atl)
    Bench Hoiberg, Fred (SG-Min)
    Bench Garnett, Kevin (SF, F-Min)
    IL Arenas, GilbertIL (PG-Was)

    So who's got the better team now? hehehe.

    Well of course you do, since you are with friennds in your draft, less teams, or maybe your friends just suck at picking (hahaha). Anyway, you got AK47 and Garnett? I am impressed

    Hahaha. Come one. That's the key to the league's competitiveness. We're trying to outdo one another. So we can have bragging rights at the end of the season. But my bad, this is my team on my other league. But I also made some great trades on my team. At first I didn't have Zach, AK, Vince and Artest.

    This is the team above after I made some moves:

    PG Arroyo, Carlos (PG-Uta)
    PG Murray, Ronald (G, SG-Sea)
    SG Hoiberg, Fred (SG-Min)
    G Hinrich, Kirk (G, PG-Chi)
    SF Garnett, Kevin (SF, F-Min)
    SF Salmons, John (SG, GF-Phi)
    PF Randolph, Zach (PF-Por)
    PF Thomas, Etan (FC-Was)
    F Abdur-Rahim, Shareef (PF-Atl)
    C Voskuhl, Jake (C-Pho)
    C Haslem, Udonis (FC, PF-Mia)
    Util Anderson, Shandon (SF, SG, GF-NY)
    Util Kaman, Chris (C-LAC)
    Bench Cassell, Sam (PG-Min)
    Bench Ilgauskas, Zydrunas (C-Cle)

    We're 16 in the league for this team. I know it's not that great compared to my team above but it took me a long time to find out how it works and when I did, all the ok players are picked up in the avbl players. But I made some good trades and I climbed to number 4 from number 13.

    That is very impressive for 14 teams, but when Iverson comes back, Robinson will be useless, I suggest trading him. Is this league with your friends?

    When I drafted my team it really sucked, it was my first time doing this thing, the auto draft ended up like this (out of 12 teams) I got the 11th pick:

    PG Mike Bibby (4th)
    G Jamal Crawford (5th)
    SG Vince Carter (2nd pick)
    SF Rashard Lewis (1st if it wasn't an autodraft i would haven't picked him)
    PF Kwame Brown (7th)
    F Tyson Chandler (9th)
    C Eddy Curry (6th)
    C Yao Ming (3rd)
    Util Larry Hughes (10th)
    Util Zach Randoplh (got him w/ my last pick, lucky)
    Bench Al Harrington (11th)
    Bench Alonzo Mourning (12th)
    Bench Keon Clark (8th)

    i did some crappy drafting, but after some trading and signing:

    PG Jamal Crawford
    G Steve Nash (I SHOULD HAVE NOT TRADED RANDOLPH 4 NASH, DANG!)
    SG Larry Hughes
    SF Rashard Lewis
    PF Elton Brand
    F Jerry Stackhouse
    C Dirk Nowitzki
    C Yao Ming
    Util Derek Anderson
    Util Kirk Hinrich
    Bench Speedy Claxton
    Bench Mike Dunleavy
    Bench Tyson Chandler

    Any ideas how to improve?

    Yea it's a league with my friends. Im tryin to get rid of Robinson but seems I aint takin any good player for him.

    Here's one option:
    I give: Bosh, Prince, Robinson
    I get: Skinner, Odom - and than from FA I can take like Jiri Welsch !

    I'll see if I can make that trade...

    i proposed this trade: Dirk Nowitzki, Ronald Murray, Larry Hughes for Kevin Garnett <-- Should i change it or is it fair for both

    you traded Zach for Nash? That sucks man...hehehe...Well first, there's no way you'll prey of Garnett from anyone who's in their right frame of mind...with Peja, hhhmmm...maybe you can offer Dirk...it's worth a shot...but Peja is better than him...but he may accept so who knows?

    i think nowitzki will be better than stoka-what when webber comes back, but for now peja is lighting it up everywhere. i want bryant (got to show him support for the crap he's taking everywhere by some fans). i offered lewis, but i don't think the guy has checked on his team 4 a LONG time. i thought randolph was going through a phase like murray, the past few games he was shooting in the 30s, but he proved me wrong w/ his recent performance 28 pts. more than 10 boards and 5 assists. nash on the hand last game was like 7 pts and 12 assists...i think i made the wrong choice...

    I would choose Stoja over Dirk...Dallas has more superstars and points are more scattered among those stars...Stoja will continue to light it up...

    And about your edit above...I recently got AI...I traded away AK47...I know I'll be giving up stats block-wise...and some rebounds of course...but I'm loaded with PF and SFs...I needed someone who'll score in bunches...Plus, AI's owner is more than happy to give him up coz he needs the blocks and AI's percentage is pulling him down...I'm not worrying that much with AI's percentage because i'm leading in the FG % department...here's my team now btw, I made some trades again...

    PG James, Mike (G, PG-Bos)
    SG Iverson, Allen (SG-Phi)
    G Boykins, Earl (PG-Den)
    SF Hayes, Jarvis (GF, SF-Was)
    PF Thomas, Kenny (F, PF-Phi)
    F Randolph, Zach (PF-Por)
    C Miller, Brad (C, FC-Sac)
    C Ratliff, Theo (FC-Atl)
    Util McKie, Aaron (GF-Phi)
    Util Arenas, Gilbert (PG-Was)
    Bench McInnis, Jeff (PG, SG-Por)
    Bench Garnett, Kevin (SF, F-Min)
    Bench Hoiberg, Fred (SG-Min)
    Bench Murphy, Troy (PF-GS)
    Bench Martin, Kenyon (PF-NJ)
    IL Stoudemire, Amare

    It was a busy week for me. Lots of trades. I'm planning to give up another PF for another SG especially when Amare comes back.

    I'm surpirsed u gave up kirlenko 4 iverson, but i guess in A.I. will give u a lot of points. But is earl boykins that good to keep on your team? but then again your bench is like 5 ppl, so i guess you guys are allowed 2 have a lot of players. Trading is fun, but nobody in my league is willing 2 really trade..there were only 3 trades and only 2 other ppl were involved
