I think you need to sort your bigs, as you've said.

I can see the guy with Millsap has him on his bench - why not offer him Parsons straight up for him? Then shift LeBron to PF and Wes to SF.

Also can't see Omer Asik on anyone's team - if you want boards then definitely drop 1 of Meeks or JJ for him, that's 10pts and 11reb right there.

I'd try and get Ty Lawson as well - something like a 2 for 1, ie Deng and Calderon for him, see what he thinks.

Definitely get at least one more C - a guy like Kieff Morris you might be able to steal 1 for 1 for Calderon...

Who else in FA?

I didn't see Sullinger, has anyone got him?

Shallow leagues, definitely try for the 2 for 1 where you're giving two solid players up to get one good one.

Yeah Asik and Sullinger are both avail. Which would you take if I drop Meeks?

Definitely Sullinger for Meeks. I can see KCP getting decent minutes there as he's a better defender and Meeks is better suited to a 6th man role.

I'd just about drop Joe Johnson for Asik too - much easier to find 3s/FT%/PTs late (Nick Young, TRoss, Hardaway Jr, Burks) than a guy who could do 10-11-1.5

Try a 2 for 1, I did them for years in a buddy/$ league I play in, then everyone cottoned on!

Just checked - nobody has Terrence Jones!? Add him for Joe Johnson man, he's going to be a rock solid option this year with good upside too at only 22yr old.

The Terrance Jones thing is crazy. I would take him the 5th lol. Guy is ranked 147th on Yahoo for some reason. He posted top-65 numbers last year and was a top-50 guy over the last three months of the year.

I would trade Dwight asap. I know your team is lacking with bigs but you don't want to punt FT% in roto. Dwight isn't the same Dwight anymore as his steals rate has fallen off.

I would drop either Meeks or JJ for Asik. Asik is basically a rebounding specialist. I know he had a nice run last year but since leaving Chicago, he hasn't been much of a shot blocker. I'd be real surprised if he posted top-120 value this year. This being a roto brings his value even lower. I actually really like Meeks this year if he holds off KCP for the starting SG job. He won't repeat last year but he's still a good bet for 2+ 3PG and 1.4+ SPG. A three-point shooter in a SVG offense? Sign me up.
