You need PGs. Wallace is worthless to you.

no brainer

Absolutely terrible. You go PG/PF here all the way. W/ Durant you don't need a SG/SF for another 3-6 rounds. You let value dictate when you grab one. One of the worst picks in the draft imo.

Rd 3 Pick 2 - Blake Griffin
Rd 4 Pick 13 - Joakim Noah


Fine, fine

Rd 5 Pick 2 - John Wall


lol, wasn't fine at the time and sure isn't fine now. You don't wait 'til round 5 to take a PG. Secondly your first PG shouldn't be hurt.

How does it look?


The rest is all defensible more or less -- in a vacuum, anyway. You just need to prioritize PG/PF. That's how you win leagues. There'll always be Chandler Parsons, Jared Dudleys, Kawhi Leonards, Gordon Haywards you can pick up later in the round. Jason Richardsons as specialists.

Good team. You need more 3s, though. Boozer/JJ/Hibbert were your only bad picks, and at the time I thought all were pretty decent picks.

I took your advice for my other team, and concentrated on drafting good PGs and PFs.

PG: Rajon Rondo
SG: OJ Mayo
G: Kemba Walker
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: David Lee
F: Zach Randolph
C: Tim Duncan
C: Nikola Pekovic
Util: Greivis Vasquez
Util: Shawn Marion
Bench: J.J. Hickson
Bench: DeMar DeRozan
Bench: Jarret Jack

Any critique/advice on this? Are there any players that should potentially be dropped?

Good team made great by lucksacking into Durant. Not the best PGs but good enough; you lucked out on Kemba and Mayo, but they were also good bets for breakouts. You need blocks. Your bench + Marion are a bunch of solid players, but no standouts. I'm nitpicking. Looks like a first-place team.

I realy hope so, with only 8 teams, rosters are very strong, and all active managers so it's hard.
Do you think I should get a good scorer? Melo or Harden maybe? It's where I think my team needs some help.

PS: Korver, 4 games this week and I needed 3's... you think I should add a diff player every week or try to get a good FA and tank mode?

team1: 10 man league H2H 9 cats FG% FT% PTS REBS 3PT AST STL BLK TO

Westbrook/Melo/Pau Gasol/Curry/Paul George/Chris Kamen/Sanders/Greg Monroe/JJ Hickson/JJ Reddick/Kenneth Faried/Shawn Marion

Just picked up Marion, might pull trigger on Korver and drop Marion if Korver has another nice line tmr.

Pretty confident in my team atm as I'm 3rd and about to be tied for 1st when this week is over.

team2: 12 man league H2H 9 cats FG% FT% PTS REBS 3PT AST STL BLK TO


CP3/Joe Johnson/Jrue Holiday/Klay Thompson/Rubio/Mayo/JJ Hickson/DeMarcus Cousins/Varejao/Jared Dudley/Pau Gasol/ Spencer Hawes

I think i need help with this team, I dropped Bellini for Hawes because I had too many guards, dropped Danny Green earlier in season. I was dominating for the first 2-3 weeks but has slowed down, still in 3rd place. I know this team has flaws so I'm open to suggestions. I'm trying to get rid of Joe Johnson for a PF who can help me in FG% atm.

That would help, but they cost too much. In my strategy scoring is the one cat I tend to be weakest (say 7-9 in a 12-team roto leauge) so it is what it is. You make it up thru percentages, TOs and assists, so it evens out.

PS: Korver, 4 games this week and I needed 3's... you think I should add a diff player every week or try to get a good FA and tank mode?


In an 8-team leauge there's gotta be better out there.

Trade Melo for PG. Your bigs suck. George/Reddick/glue guy are all you need on the wing. Melo/Hickson, Melo/Kaman, Melo/Faried. You can ask for the moon. Well-designed team once you get a 3rd PG. Sorry about Pau. Easily t3 team.

Just picked up Marion, might pull trigger on Korver and drop Marion if Korver has another nice line tmr.


That would be dumb. Korver has 4 games this week. Waiting until after another big game is -EV. Marion is a super safe bet long-term. You always wish he does a little more, but his ceiling is very safe. Don't drop him unless you're getting a definite upgrade, you're filling a definite need or you're using the spot to stream -- all of which are perfectly viable.

Cousins sucks. Hawes sucks. Rest of the team has a ton of potential. Gj lucksacking out on Mayo. Shop JJ; even though it'll be hard to get equal value it needs to be done. I'd take Reddick over him straight up. Shop Holiday. You have to hold onto Klay. Yeah, this team is too unabalanced on the wings. Test Mayo's market. This team is dependent on Gasol becoming t25 again. Highly unlikely.

Sanders by a mile

MWP is playing out of his mind and I would love to get him on my team. Too bad you can't make it work, though.

I knew Sanders would be easy answer but I have Hibbert and Duncan already for blocks. So I'm pretty ok, I think I'll go for MWP! :D

Nah dude, then you just trade Duncan.

Or you can grab MWP for now, 2-for-1 w/ Duncan, pick up Sanders the second a deal is close/accepted.

PG: Irving/Dragic/Jack
SG: P.George/Stuckey
SF: Deng/Dudley
PF: Love/AK47/MWP
C: B.Lopez/Chandler/McGee


Nice squad. Consolidate Stuckey/Jack for a better 1, but you knew that already.
