My pick by pick analysis for this draft:
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1051357

In order for me to play Pat Riley, I traded away my 2nd - 5th pick for Lebron. I also made a lot of risky/rookie picks to give my team a chance to be competitive this year. If not, at least I'll have 5 players to choose from as Keepers. I'm currently trying to get rid of Oden for some help in assist, but due to his injury concern, I may have to take someone like Andre Miller as a return. So I might just stash Oden away and hope his value will rise when he plays.

Thanks in advance.

Very solid team! Both for competing this year, and for the future. As you seem to have a solid mix of Vets and Young potential filled players.

You could use some assists, but at the same time Lebron and Wade both get quite a few. Turner might be a dark horse in that category for all we know.

Threes seem like a weak spot as you only have one real gunner in Jason Terry, and to a lesser extent Lebron. So maybe try working on getting one more elite shooter on your squad to help compete in that stat.

Otherwise, your looking pretty good man. It looks like you'll dominate in Blocks especially with the bigs that you have. Speaking of which, I would avoid trading Oden for Miller. Miller really has NO value in a keeper league, while Oden like you said can really build up value if he starts the year off like he did last season. Hopefully he's healthy enough...

Well done!

Thanks for the comments. This is a 12 team league, so most teams look stacked. I'm not too confident about Turner, but with his talent and trade rumors about AI, hopefully 76er will realize that he is their future.

You are right that I'm weak at 3s and assists because I traded Kidd, Bargnani, Manu and Al Jefferson for Lebron and picks from round 8 to 10 which turned out to be Terry AK and Tyrus. Hopefully one of my rookies will help out with 3s.

As for Oden, I agree, I drafted him based on his future value. His current value is at the lowest, no point for me to lose out. I did offer him for Jameer Nelson which will help me with 3 and Assists (better option than Miller). We will see.
