Hey guys I'm in a 9 cat, 10 team league...here's my team
Rondo
Stuckey
Pierce
Holiday
David West
Wilson Chandler
Brook Lopez
Drew Gooden
Chris Paul
Rashard Lewis
Troy Murphy
Eric Gordon
Carlos Boozer

I haven't won a matchup, Kris Humphries, Wesley Mathews and a few other FA's are available. What's wrong with my team? And should I hold on to Murphy?

with RR and CP3, Im very sure you will take AST and stl ? and your 3s and Pts are not bad either.

the problems for your team are that Brook Lopez has not been producing what he supposed to produce and your Bigs are rather weak. Boozer is out, Lopez not producing, who is gonnna grab rebounds for you? or you expect the combined stats from W.Chandler and Lopez to help you win in BLKS?

I guess even you lost all your matchups, but the score should be somewhere between 2:7 to 5:6 ?

My suggestion is, trade RR ( I will trade RR) .... for an elite big.Noah or Gasol ? even a package.
the only player untouchable is CP3. RR's value is pretty high at this point, but his FT are killing your team.. get a big with at least 75% FT. and yes, please drop Murphy and pick up Humphries ASAP!

your PG: CP3 STUCKEY HOLIDAY (having RR in your team is way too luxurious)

SG: PP, GORDON

SF:W.Chandler Rashard Lewis

PF: DAVID WEST , BOOZER , GOODEN

C :LOPEZ

You need some quality bigs

Thanks for the help! I'm pretty sure while trading Rondo, I can get any big in the league(almost any player in the league) considering managers in my league are all over Rondo's nuts. You don't think Murphy will do decently when he's back or if/when he gets traded?
I dropped javale mcgee a week and a half ago...I feel so stupid. I'll pick up humphries(i doubt anyone in my league will). Any other recommendations?

If McGee is still available you should scoop him up. His FT% isn't great but at least he'll dominate blocks and his rebounding is steadily improving. Besides he doesn't shoot enough FTs per game to kill you. Avery Johnson apparently isn't very high on Murphy so having him on your roster will only bring him down. Being hopeful for a trade that you don't know when or if it will even happen is overrated at this point in the season.

McGee is gone unfortunately. I'll get rid of Murphy. Ugh Rondo isn't playing today either. Tyson Chandler is also available

i traded rondo for amare...really helped me out. if you can do that (or pau..but i doubt it.) you should in a heartbeat.

I'll try making a trade, the following players are available:

Tyson Chandler
Wesley Matthews
Richard Hamilton
Drew Gooden
J.R. Smith
Hakeen Warrick
Landry Fields
Aaron Afflalo

Players I can drop:
Humphries and Murphy(just picked him up since he actually played, don't know why I have high hopes on him).

Drop Murphy for Tyson Chandler...

I don't know why I want to keep hold on Murph. Today he played just as much as Humphires, I have a feeling he'll be back at starting soon

Even with Murphy backs at start five, whatever he does, T.Chandler does it better. and what makes Murphy so valuable is because his 3s, but you have enough 3pts shooters and T.Chandler will give u blks and btw, his FT aint bad this year

I would take a chance at Matthews and probably try to get Chandler as well. There's nothing wrong with your team outside of injuries to some key players. You probably need some bigman stats so try to get an elite big who rebounds and blocks.

Alright I'll make some moves.
Just got offered Amar'e for Rondo...about to pull the trigger. Anyone think otherwise?

slimkaka · Post #13 » by **slimkaka** » Thu Dec 2, 2010 3:03 am

i dun like the offer at all.. Amar'e has high TO and rebound wise, he is not getting as many rebounds as he should.. Look for guys like Noah or Kevin Love... u can add someone if you can get Gasol. Amar'e only gives you points and some blks..

Rondo hasn't been amazing in my eyes...I mean yeah he can win assists, and thats great. But his FG% is the same as Amar'e, his FT% is TERRIBLE, he averages 4 TO's, same as Amar'e, and only 10 points a game. He's not going to average 14 assists a game. Amar'e on the other hand will only get better if anything, considering he's the first option for his team. Noah gives rebs, but he's going down since Boozer is back, and Kevin Love...I don't trust Rambis
