Hey guys, ina Yahoo Custom league with Experienced players. There were 10 teams i had the 4th pick. PG - D.Wade SG - E.Ginobili G - A.Miller SF - A.Jamison F - D.Gooden PF - A.Stoudemire C- D.Nowitski C- S.Dalembert Util -Larry Hughes Util -J.Jackson B- P.Brezec B-J.Bender B-Brendan Haywoof I don't know if I'm really missing anything anymore. Maybe lacking a tiny bit in the 3s department. Comments
It's a good solid group. I'd be looking to deal one of your PF's and a Willie Green in the hope of finding a PG/SG who hits a few treys. A Bones Barry would help your squad.
PG - D.Wade SG - E.Ginobili G - A.Miller SF - A.Jamison F - D.Gooden PF - A.Stoudemire C- D.Nowitski C- S.Dalembert Util -Larry Hughes Util -J.Jackson B- P.Brezec B-J.Bender B-Willie Green You need three's, Jim Jackson, Dik and Hughes won't cut it, you might also need blocks depending on Brezec, and maybe assists as Andre Miller is the only real impact assist guy you have. Steals will be fine, and FG% should be good too.
One of my PFs? Liek who?? I know that I needs 3s and maybe some assists, I'm looking to trade someone for a SG that will give me assists and 3s. I really think I have 2 asissts powerhouses, cause Wade will rack them up with Shaq in the fold..
I think the most assists Wade averages is about 5.5 a game, not bad, bout what Tony Parker has ben doing, but not anything amazing.
Should I trade Amare and WIllie Green for Bibby and Eddy Curry... it does help me in what I need, but I like Amare alot... I'm not sure what the hell to do. I've got some good offers too... like Bender for Barry. Do I need boards and points... I dont think so, and I think Amare is expendable although eh was my 2nd pick overall. I like Bibby, he brings assists, points and 3s to the board, and curry can replace amare, somewhat, with less points and like 2 boards less... I dont think I need boards cause I have nowitski, Samy, Gooden, Brezec, Jamison... blocks could be hard to coem by, but other teams in the league aren't too strong eitehr and I have 1 bpg by Dirk, 1bpg Jamison, 2 bpg Sam, 1 bpg Brezec, Curry 1bpg if i trade (if not) amare maybe 2.... I'm really thinking about all these trades... do i need 3s badly so I must trade amare? Or just trade bender for Barry which could be a longshot trade. I need help....
No way you should do that. Amare's FC status is valuable enough in itself, and he was a legitimate 25/12/2 blocks guy in the last couple of months of last season. He will have the entire Suns interior to himself, and you could expect something along the lines of 22/10/2 and a steal from him this season, while shooting a high FG. You don't know what Curry will give you, while Bibby is a great player without racking up big assist stats. If you're trading Amare, I'd be wanting someone like Redd or Ray Allen back. I'd be looking at bargain guys. Maybe someone like Voshon Lenard, who will start at the two in Denver and will get open looks. Barry as mentioned is another one, as is Derek Fisher in terms of what you need. Cuttino Mobley is another potential bargain, as he'll get his minutes and shots in Orlando, and can provide very good fantasy value for a shooter, as he gets steals, rebounds and assists.
Is Willie green actually going to do good this year though... I'm worrying, cause he's not getting the starting job and will sitll average about 25 minutes a game... I'm not sure if he's going to do as good as I hoped. I'm goign to try to find a 3 point shooter at the expense of who though people? That's my quesiton. Plus do I really need assists?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Supersonic:</div><div class="quote_post">Amare's FC status is valuable enough in itself</div> What FC status? He certainly isn't eligible at C in Yahoo leagues, is a strict PF, and rightly so.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">I heard they'll be changing Dirk from F/C to just PF-F-SF</div> Yahoo NEVER take an existing eligibility away, they simply add to it. Case in point is Eduardo Najera. They stuffed up by making him an FC, but in correcting it, they simply added an F eligibility to the FC.
Guys, I need 3 points and assists real bad... mostly 3 points. Shoudl I trade Ginobili for Brent Barry...
I was reviewing your roster, and I don't think 3 point shooting is a big deal, and here's why. (Adding in my head here, just ignore this if you want.) Dirk is at least 1 a game; last year he hit 100. Jackson is at least 1 a game; last year he hit 2 a game for 162. Ginobili is also 1 a game; last year he hit 88. Hughes is again 1 a game; last year he hit 78 while only playing 60 games. Jamison used to be about 1 a game; in 2002 he hit 65. So you've got about 500 threes. While you're not going to win the league, you're not going to be at the bottom. With 10 teams, and assuming that every team spread out so that they all have some 3 point shooting, you'll be at about 4th from the bottom. Miller and Wade are your big negatives at 3 point shooting. As far as the trade, Ginobili for Barry is an even trade; you lose steals and add a few threes and FG% (Barry will probably make 50 more over the season, which is a lot for threes). I would also dangle Jamison and Miller for a top tier point guard (my order of preference: Davis, Francis, Marbury, Cassell, Iverson, Nash, Bibby) if anyone will bite. The first three and Iverson score a lot but have substandard FG%; Cassell will score a lot and shoot a good % but is getting older with injuries, and the last two are average scorers (15 points a game) with high FG% and threes. Jamison is only scoring and rebounds, and Miller is an assist and steal machine, but if you can get one single player who does both or does it better I generally think you win. (Look for another player in return, too, otherwise you're on the losing edge because of all the scoring you'd lose.)

So I have 2 trades goin up maybe... Brezec for Hinrich. Manu or Larry (most likely manu) and Jim jax for BAron Davis.. which one do i do to help me, and who do i take off waivers to fill teh void if I pick the 2 players for 1.... (the waiver question, like possible people) P.S do you guys think my team's ok for blocks?? right now i'm not doing so good in my league in the blocks category... dunon who to give up though and stuff. P.P.S - Thanx you all for all your help, you guys ahve really a great help to me figuring things out. This pool has money bet on it so i really wanna win.
Well it's only been a few days, Dalmbert and Amare will get you blocks, and Wade will get you some as a guard, if you trade Brezec depending on how he blocks shots, you'll lose some in the blocks area.
Andre Miller in there for Davis instead of Ginobili would be good, since Ginobili gets 3s and Miller doesn't... but I need Millers assists and Davis's assists... Hm it's a dilemma.
