Does your fantasy team need help? Ask the Doc.

NBA / Oct 27, 2008 / 10:22 am

Is Nate the Knicks’ Barbosa?

With the NBA season a little more than 24 hours from kicking off, most of you should have had your fantasy drafts by now. So here’s the deal – in the comments section, drop me your roster and what type of league you play in (rotisserie, head to head, normal categories, keepers etc.). I’ll break down your team, tell you how you did in the draft, what categories you’re missing, and offer some suggestions of where to find those categories. Bring it on.

You’re right
October 27th, 2008 at 10:32 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Yeah but it’s a 14 team league and I think you’ll be okay with assists as long as Ford stays healthy. Mayo was a good selection for your team. He’ll give you threes and assists. I also like the bench which is very impressive for the 14 team squad. Nice work. No moves to make right now.

I’m playing in a 12 team, 9-cat Yahoo roto league. My team:
Guards:
Jason Kidd, Devin Harris, Rafer Alston
Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson, Rudy Fernandez
Forwards:
Kevin Garnett, Josh Smith, Zach Randolph, Matt Barnes, Thaddeus Young, Udonis Haslem
Centers:
Andrew Bogut (hoping Z-Bo and Udonis get C-eligibility soon)

I think I’ve got most cats covered pretty well, but might need to pick up someone to help with FT%. What do you think?

Thanks for the advice

The Fantasy Doctor says:

A lot of nice names, but also a lot of missing categories. You’re in major trouble in three’s. They really don’t exist on your squad with the exception of Raja Bell (who is a fringe starter). Wade and Butler will give you a little but you need help there badly. Blocks is also a legit issue. Chandler is a nice name but doesn’t block shots like you’d like him to. Williams and West don’t block shots either. You probably should start Noah over Brewer just for the blocks aspect. You’re strengths are probably the percentages and steals. You also lack depth as Diaw and Steph aren’t going to answer any of your problems if and when you run into them. Not going to lie, the team is in a little bit of trouble.

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Knicksfan,

Nice work. the assists, points, blocks, boards are all there. Both percentage categories are a bit of a question mark. You have solid fg percentage guys and bad fg percentage guys (Kidd, Rafer, Steph. Jackson, Zach is eh, etc.). Overall, nice job. Maybe grab one more three point shooter at some point (J-Rich won’t do what he did last year under LB).
October 27th, 2008 at 10:48 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Quedas,

8 teams? Wow. The team looks good, though with only 8 squads, everyone’s looks good. Dwight gets a HUGE boost without having to concern yourself with free thrown. I know you have Howard, but you could probably use one more shot blocker and you definitely need one more three point shooer.

October 27th, 2008 at 10:55 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

G-United,

First off, don’t cut AK for Ricky Davis. Drop that thought right now. You’re going to win assists with CP and Kidd. That’s always nice. Blocks (you need AK for this) and boards you should be good on as well. By far your biggest hole is three’s. With a 7 player league you should be able to find a high 100’s three a year guy… maybe two of them. Hard thing to find on the waiver wire. sort it by category and see who is there.

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Rob,

Taking both Arenas and Manu is going to make it hard. One of them makes it hard. If it’s head to head, then you hope to be in the middle of the pack when you get them back. If it’s roto… you’re in trouble. that’s hard to catch up on. The drafts okay other than that. It’s a middle of the pack squad, but there a lot of safe nice picks in there.

October 27th, 2008 at 11:04 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Xavier Garcia,

Amare doesn’t qualify as a center in your league? Definitely start Jeff Green over Perkins. Perk isn’t going to do much for you. You know I’m a Darko guy but it’s wait and see. If he gets 25 minutes a game he blocks 2 shots, grabs 6 boards and scores 7/8 points. That’s third center numbers but not awful. the 14 team league makes it hard to have a good bench but you have a lot of reaches in there and need one of them (Gordon or Sessions) to do something for you. Varejao won’t be that guy unless there are injuries. Other concerns – the 3’s. Pierce and Chauncey need to do it all for you. that should win you a couple weeks, but most you’ll be in trouble. 14 teams are very tough. You’re probably in the upper half, but are going to need to make a move at some point for a big man and threes and have to hope that the bench comes through.

October 27th, 2008 at 11:11 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

bamba,

the point guard/pf thing is 100% real. Biggest concern with your team – blocks. Bosh hasn’t really blocked shots like you’d think he would (nice preseason though). Bogut was better but still under 2 per game. I like Collison but he has never been a consistent performer. Same with Prince. You need Crawford to get out of this funk now because you need his three’s badly. If you get them, you’re good there. If you don’t, get looking. I like the Duhon pick up. you should play him. he’ll help with the assist category, which you need. For a guy who was going to draft point guards, you didn’t really draft point guards! You’re going to win some and lose some weeks and really don’t have any sure winning week to week categories with the possible exception of fg%.

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Just a Fan,

The rebounding isn’t awful. Josh Smith, Aldridge, Al, Thorton, and Rudy Gay and Turk help a bit. Could you use another guy? Definitely. Haslem out there? You’re thin at center. You have to hoop that Bargnani (if he qualifies), Blatche, or Darko step up. Big if’s. I like Bargnani though. Also, why do you hate assists so much?
October 27th, 2008 at 11:21 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Charlie,

16 teams is too many but you did a nice job. You NEED Elton to block shots. Good work though.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:24 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

QuEsT???,

You’re right on the assists front though AI and Joe Johnson will help. You have to hope Foye is an asset. I’m a doubter. Jamario Moon is probably going to be the guy to cut but wait it out a minute. If Duhon is out there he’d be a good pick up for the squad.

James says:

Autodraft didn’t do an awful job. You need another point guard for assists and a legit second center in place of Noah who is better suited as a third center. Not bad though.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:29 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

izzy,

Not bad. You need a second assist source for that util spot to really get in the top of that category (Deron and Roy should equal middle of pack). You need a second center as well. I hate to say it but Rasho and Petro should be on your radar.

Young ‘money,

You need another assist and block source. You’re only in 3’s because of Korver and that’s asking a lot of a guy who may or may not get minutes. I’m not an Amir Johnson fantasy fan (though I think he can play). The position is too crowded.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:52 am

hey Doc,

I don’t hate assist that much, but all the Pgs disappeared quick. Only JKidd was available when I had my 3rd pick and I took Rudy Gay over Kidd. Bargnani/Darko/Harrington are my centers. It’s thin, I have to find another C and another source of assist somewhere.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:53 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Youngwood,

3s’, assists, and blocks. Those are you’re missing categories. One point guard isn’t going to win you weeks. with a pretty small starting lineup, two probably will. Rose might have to run for you. Same for blocks. Just Jefferson won’t do it. You’re in great shape in points, boards, and percentages.

16 teams is tough and I like what you did at the end. Anthony Parker probably isn’t in most 12 team leagues but in a 16 team league, he has nice value. You have the “I hate assists” disease though. My guess is they don’t exist on the waiver wire (flyer on Sessions? Luke?).

First off, you 100% got me on the first roster. I was about to call you all sorts of names. In all seriousness – I like the team. A lot. It’s got a chance. The bench is thin and you may need a little help with assists.
October 27th, 2008 at 11:59 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

NT,

Nice team but again, two injured players unless you have a very deep bench is tough. Yes, you need assists and the Tinsley hope is intriguing but isn’t helping you at all for a while and is also your third bench player that doesn’t play basketball right now. that’s going to make it very hard.

Unfortunately, the assist guys were too high on my draft board when I got in (drafted 11 grrr). And were gone by the tail end. And no, Sessions and Luke are not free agents. Still looking on waivers.

You’re good with assists with Parker, Mo, Rondo, and Rafer. Diaw and Perkins aren’t going to cut it at that center spot. if you can move Amare there and sign a pf. If not, Petro and Rasho should be on the radar.

Dman,

With 12 teams, the end of the roster should be better. Nick Young and Farmar should’t be on the roster. There have to better options on the waiver wire. The teams not bad though.

Not bad and you’re 100% right about 3’s. Spencer Hawes is a nice week 1 option but probably waiver wire material. You’ll need a second block source at some point… BIRD MAN!

I would say my weakest category is assists, but I have a number of decent point guards. I should win rebounding and 3s every week. Also, should I drop Sessions in favor of Marcus Williams or Daniel Gibson? I had Marcus to begin with, but Nellie sais he is at the bottom of the chart.

Assists, assists, assists. Everything else looks okay. For now, I’d play Hinrich in the util spot over Moon.
October 27th, 2008 at 1:27 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

CitizenB,

I’d take Nene over Pietrus. Short roster though and you are in good shape at center. Still, with 10 teams, there should be other guys like Pietrus out there and Nene is a solid roster piece (even if you later look to deal a center).
October 27th, 2008 at 1:28 pm

Tough. I wouldn’t worry about assists so much with your team. I’d prefer Barnes over Green… though I could be wrong about it. I’d go Barnes.

8 teams and as much as I like Bass as a player, there should be someone else out there. Big thing you need is a PG. Rid? Duhon?
October 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

CAN,

Here’s your problem. Somehow you need Gooden out of the starting lineup and Oden in. My guess is that neither Kaman or Howard qualifies. That’s a drafting mistake. Shouldn’t end up with Gooden at a forward spot. Other than that, nice work.

I never recommend preseason trades. See how it plays out a bit. I wouldn’t say you’re money on threes. That’s too much stock in a healthy T-Mac. I like the team though. One more assist guy and one more shot blocker. But you have nice pieces.

Do you think Bayless is gonna get anytime? or that Ridnour may outperform Blake?
October 27th, 2008 at 1:59 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

MSkittle,

with a 12 team league there is no way Delonte should be your starting point guard (and Rid be your other guy). something went wrong there. You need assists, blocks, and possibly 3’s depending on Crawford. Your bench isn’t very deep. You have some work ahead of you.
October 27th, 2008 at 2:00 pm

Hey Doc,

Mine is a 16 team league with 10 players each.

sit_yo_ass_down_mama,

You said it. You need three’s. For the start of the year, you’re hoping Nate goes bananas (which is possible) and Iggy shoots more 3’s as the SG. Other than that, good team.
October 27th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

and how would you rank my line up against the other fantasy ballers here? thanks much doc!
October 27th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

askkk 'bout it says:

Mannnn… Fantasy DOC, you got your work cut out today! I’ma gonna throw my team up and hope that you can get to it.

I am hoping on hearing your thoughts on my squad + giving me feedback on the idea of getting by for the first three months and banking on Monta Ellis and Agent Zero to come back strong. What should I expect from those two?

H2H, 10 Team, No Keepers, 8 Category Normal Scoring (no TO’s):

(Players listed by round drafted)

1. Lebron James
2. Deron Williams
3. Yao Ming (on your suggestion)
4. David West
5. Brandon Roy
6. Al Horford
7. AK-47
8. Tyson Chandler
9. T.J. Ford
10. Al Thornton
11. Gilbert Arenas
12. Mike Conley
13. Rodney Stuckey

3 guard (PG, SG, G)… 3 forward (SF, PF, F)… 2 Center… 2 Utlity… 3 Bench league

To Note on waivers:
- Monta Ellis
- Plus a lot of other talent since this league has a small bench and was only 10 people

Thanks Doc!

OK Doc, here it goes:

Dwight Howard
Rudy Gay
Jose Calderon
Kevin Martin
LaMarcus Aldridge
Al Thornton
Beno Udrih
Anthony Parker
Luis Scola
Andris Biedrins
Ramon Sessions
Ryan Gomes
Jason Maxiell

I have already dropped Maxiell and picked up Rodney Stuckey and am considering picking up an extra foward (Thadeus Young is available) for Sessions b/c I don’t think he’ll win the starting job in Milwaukee.

Your take on the lineup and any add/drop advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

October 27th, 2008 at 3:55 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

DETROIT KEVIN,

Nice work. It’s tough with a 14 team league. You’re inevitably going to end up starting a Scola, Green and Gooden. I’d start Marvin Williams over Gooden (though I haven’t looked at the game count). Your weekest category is blocks. You need Kaman to be last year Kaman and for Bosh to be preseason Bosh. All possible though.
October 27th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

sweetv0mit,

You get Amare and Chauncey and trade Duncan and Ben Gordon? NO BRAINER. DO IT NOW. Nice draft. you need assists but Chauncey will help. Get that deal done.

Here’s my team, I drafted 4th, 18th, and 23rd to kick it off. Could you please tell me know if you notice any weaknesses. Brandon Bass is on the waivers still and I have my eye on him. (as the waiver wire is obviously thing)

Monta shouldn’t be on waivers. It’s tough to have both hurt guys and you have nobody to cut but that’s kind of crazy.

Nice draft. I hope Yao stays healthy. Right now there is nobody you can cut so stick it out and hope for healthy season.

Steven,

Good team. You’re right that you need assists, BUT what you really need is points. You have a lot of guys that do good things but other than Dirk, no big time scorer.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:13 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

kdog,

Go get Thad Young. Sessions may have value at some point, but it certainly is not right now.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Nicely done. You may be a little short on three’s some weeks but everywhere else, you’re great. You’re in it to win it.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Brandon,

Sounds like a great league. With a deep bench, I’d probably prefer to stash Bass more than Kapono. One injury and Bass is a nice 3rd or 4th forward. We all know who Kapono is… including the Raptors. Nice work though. Great depth and you should be in every category with the exception being three’s where you may get smoked.

what do you think of Mike conley?
October 27th, 2008 at 4:24 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Trisha,

First off either cut Chris Douglas Roberts or switch him with Rudy Fernadez. I like CDR but don’t think he’ll have immediate value. Maybe down the line this season. If you want him though, he’ll be available on waivers.Posey isn’t an ideal starter either. You’re good on boards and threes and okay on assists. Someone has to be out there instead of Roberts. Who’s on the waiver wire?
October 27th, 2008 at 4:25 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Celtics 18,

For a 14 team league, your squad looks very good and well balanced. The bench is paper thin but that’s to be expected. You need a second assist guy. That isn’t going to be Nate if that’s what you are thinking.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

JP,

I like him. He’s a year or two away and that team has a crowded back court but I think he’s a legit back up fantasy point guard.
October 27th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

G says:

Thanks for the feedback. Drafting 9th, I had Bargnani locked as one of my final picks (Barnes, Bargnani, Stuckey) but he was snaked from me by the 10th manager who picked up Bargs in the bounce between my picks. Do you see a similarly talented player (Raptors homer here) or should I let the first couple of weeks play out (watching Darko, Ty Thomas and players of that ilk) in the hope that Bargs comes out lacklustre and that manager drops him outright?
October 27th, 2008 at 4:38 pm

I like Bargnani but not THAT much. He’s not a game changer.

With Sessions not picking up the starting spot in Milwaukee (damn you Skiles)I have a open spot on the roster.

FA’s looking thin though since it’s a twelve team H2H keeper league.

You got any true deep deep guard sleepers out there?

Basically all thats potentially out there is:

Delonte west

Mario Chalmers

Its pretty thin I know..who is worth taking a flyer on?

hi doc,

I think i’m lacking in a scoring punch, but I feel I got rebs, blks and FG% locked down.

I picked last in a 12-team, roto, keeper league. Here are my picks by round. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking picking this way, but just a side note, I had a chance to grab the Matrix in the 1st but didn’t. I felt like this is Granger’s breakout year and Al Jeff’s 20-10 + blocks is too good to pass up.

Danny Granger
Al Jefferson

I like the squad but would like it better with one more point guard and one more three point threat (for when Mike Miller is hurt).
October 27th, 2008 at 10:13 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Hamond,

So you went Wade with the 5th pick? You need blocks and threes. Blocks really don’t exist on the squad with the exception of Bosh, who isn’t a protypical shot blocker. With the exception of Joe Johnson, your team really doesn’t hit threes.
October 27th, 2008 at 10:14 pm

sans,

Nobody for you to cut!
October 27th, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Even with faith in Rose and nice assist numbers from AI, you do need another guy. The team is good though.

October 27th, 2008 at 10:27 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Marcello,

With 10 teams, you have some guys that probably shouldn’t be rosters. Mobley, Pietrus, and even Moon are all fringe roster guys. There should be some better options on waivers. I wouldn’t rush to cut Pietrus but I’d be curious to see who was available.
October 27th, 2008 at 10:30 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Mickey, I wouldn’t have rushed to cut Conley. You need assists. I know you have Harris and Udrih but neither are huge dime guys. the team is pretty solid.
October 27th, 2008 at 10:36 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

craig,

First of all, I’m all for the gut feeling with the Matrix. I’m cool with it. I hear you about the scoring threat. After JRich, you don’t have much scoring. You have decent intangibles though so let’s see what happens the first few weeks before you look to make a trade.
October 27th, 2008 at 10:40 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Zen,

20 teams! I don’t love either round 3 or 4 and with such a huge league, those rounds could hurt you. You may be the only owner in the world with the all of (or any of with the exception Bass) those players on your roster.

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Alex,

Looks like you had a great draft. I’d probably play Barnes over Nate Rob for week one if you can still change it, but you’re team looks rearing to go. You don’t need help… at least right now.
October 28th, 2008 at 9:22 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

craig,

I think Sessions is going to have to earn the burn and that might not happen for a bit. It will happen at some point this season. I think it’s cool to cut him but definitely make sure he’s on your radar. We’ll talk a lot about him on the daily fantasy. Of those guys… Funny thing is, it’s probably Steph that you want to pick up. After that Posey and after that Battier. Let’s see how Steph looks early on though, especially with Crawford struggling.

Hey Doc, i consider myself a noob when it comes to fantasy leagues. I joined a 16 team league: FG%, FT%, 3PM, PTS, RBS, AST, STL, BLK and TO

Monta Ellis

Chris Bosh

I think I have a lame basketball squad. Any advice or comment would be appreciated. Thanks!
October 28th, 2008 at 10:06 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

♦King Me♠, Wait and see how Collison plays before you rush out and cut him for Ellis. Your assist deprived. Just Devin Harris, Barbosa, and Wade won’t cut it. Still, you’re in good shape everywhere else.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:09 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Nimit,

I mean… Marc Gasol over Bynum? How can I write more? The rest of the squad looks good though.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:25 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Armchair Sportman,

In a 10 team league you shouldn’t have to settle on Perk to be your center. Most likely something went wrong at the draft but still there are better options out there on the waiver wire I’m sure. Even Garcia and Maxiell shouldn’t be owned in a 10 team league. Who’s on the waiver wire?
October 28th, 2008 at 10:27 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Jason,

For a 16 person league, I think you did alright. You’ve got everything with the exception of blocks and honestly, you may have to say peace to that category. You’re in great shape in assists, 3’s, and points and look solid in the percentages. You should win some and lose some in boards.

Pretty happy with my depth but worried about Jefferson in Milwaukee and am offering him up for Al Harrington at the minute, what do you think?
October 28th, 2008 at 10:30 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

JoJo Down Under,

Interestingly there has not been a lot of roto leagues that have submitted. You look pretty solid. I’d go Jameer over Moon. Moon isn’t going to help much and Kidd and Nelson should help you be near the top in assists. I’m not a big Garcia guy and would go Peitrus there or even a Marquis Daniels in week one.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:31 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Deez,

No. Caron does too many good things for you and probably will average close to 6 boards. Give it a few weeks and see how it goes.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:33 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Jei,

No idea what a noob is but I’m going to guess it isn’t good.

Having both Monta and Manu is going to sting. That’s tough. Oberto isn’t helping you anywhere unless you’re the first league in history that has a category for setting screens and/or picks. Grab someone like Marquis Daniels or even Antonio Daniels for Oberto. Might be a tough run. Try and stay afloat until Manu and Ellis get back. Good luck.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:35 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Anthony,

100% Howard should start over Stuckey in week one. We have no idea what we’re going to get out of Stuckey and there is a very good chance it will be inconsistent. You need scoring on this squad and Howard will help there. You’ve evidently sworn off assists.
October 28th, 2008 at 10:36 am

BENNYHILL,

Well done. Don’t make that trade. Stick with RJ for now.

I think I’m competitive in FG%, Blocks, Boards but punting assists. Shot I trade AI for a Granger type for 3’s or another big man. What do you think overall? Thanks.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:08 am

The Fantasy Doctor says:

MB,

I’m assuming Udrich is Beno Udrih??? I can see the punting of assists. Might as well let Chalmers go then. Looks good.

Future Bulls GM says:

Fantasy Doc,
First my disclaimer – This is a different league than most. 10 team weekly H-T-H league.
Scoring is:
Assists 1 point / Points 1 point / Rebounds 1 point
Blocks 2 points / Steals 2 points
Turnovers -2 points

Based on that scoring, how do you think my team will perform? Do you see any changes that should be considered?
Start 3 guards, 3 forwards, 2 centers

Guards: Iverson / Vince Carter / Bibby
Forwards: Josh Howard / St. Jackson / RJefferson
Centers: Dwight Howard / Biedrins
Bench:
Monta Ellis
Rodney Stuckey
Matt Barnes
David Lee
Jason Maxiell
Darko Milicic

Should I move Josh Howard to guard and bench Bibby to allow Matt Barnes into the starting lineup? Any thoughts appreciated!

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Future Bulls GM,

With your league all you care about are positive stats. Positives for Bibby is that his fg% stinks but doesn’t mean anything and he’ll get you a steal game plus some decent scoring and assists. Obviously the negative is the turnovers. I’d probably stay with Bibby for a couple weeks and see how it goes.

Hey Doc,

I posted my team yesterday:

But my question is, with Matt Barnes, Nene, Grant Hill, Marc Gasol, Jeff Green, and Hakim Warrick all on the waiver wire do you recommend making any moves or sticking with my guns and seeing how my team plays out the way it is.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Runner guy,

Overall nice work. You’re asking a lot of Rose for assists but you should be in a win some/lose some position with AI, Mayo, and Rose. I’d love to tell you that Livingston will help with the category but I think that is way down the road. Other than that, you could use another blocks guy. Overall, solid.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

Smitdog,

Great job with the entire starting squad. I really don’t see any glaring holes. That being said, you need some waiver wire pickups because the current bench probably won’t cut it. You’ll get em though.

With what’s out there, you need to ride it out with what you have and just pay attention to the waiver wire. Get Okur in your lineup and Diaw out!
October 28th, 2008 at 2:01 pm

The Fantasy Doctor says:

rudderband man,

It’s a toss up. I would probably prefer Nene or Barnes over Pietrus. Probably Marc Gasol as well.It’s a toss up though.

Nimit says:

Doc,

I didnt pick him over Bynum!!..i chose Bynum(who had fallen all the way to the sixth round!) but for some reason my draft window froze and when i get it back Marc Gasol has been selected for me and the dude right after me has taken Bynum…if Bynum ends up with a monster season i might just quit fantasy basketball.

I think I’m strong in FG%, Reb, Blk. Okay in 3s and Stl. But even with 4 PGs, I’m not sure if I can win Ast, and these PGs bring my FG% down. Should I try to ship some of PGs out? What do you think if I can trade Baron + G. Wallace for Butler + Kevin Martin?

WuMan, I like it the squad. you definitely thought about categories ahead of time. Well done. Obviously Baron is a huge wild card and for that I can see why you’d consider the trade. Still, I’d wait it out. This is your team and I’d see how it played out a bit before you do anything rash.

Yeah i’m taking a gamble with JO being healthy, but I figure Amir shoudl get his fair share of blocks this year, starting and such…and since i have Chandler and Duncan…JO was worth it. Plus if he is healthy he’s can be a beast.
