Help improving my team please.

Yahoo, 10 team, 10 cats (FG, Ft, 3pt%, Pts, Rbs, Ast, Stls, Blks, TO, PF), H2H

Only playoffs count for scoring, so factor that into your suggestions please (only care about weeks 22-24)

Lillard
Lawson
D Rose
K-Mart
Gallo
Gay
David West
Amare
Cousins
Chandler
B Lopez
R Lopez

WW = Manu, Dudley, Granger, Afflalo Henderson, Nene, Isaiah, JR Smith (thats about all that is good atm).

Can't cut = lawson, gay, cousins, gallo

How can I improve? I only have K-Mart for SG, so was thinking could grab Manu, but who would i drop? Robin Lopez? Amare? (wanted to wait a few weeks and see how he does). Will Chandler be affected significantly by Amares return?

I like Dudley and Afflalo, Manu is so iffy with playing time and health

I would drop Amare for Dudley

How do u feel about Kmart?

U don't need 4 Centers, I would try to trade one for. SG or PF

Thanks for your opinion.

You don't think I should wait it out with Amare first? Either see if he has decent trade value or maybe he comes back to be a semi-beast again?

I agree I could def use a shooting guard. My team is a bit weak in fg% and ft% at times.

Why Dudley instead of Afflalo for you?

Also I have 4 centers cause I feel like I needed them to win boards, cause the Lopez bros dont get that many.

Think there is any chance Manu starts getting 30-35 min consistently, and stays healthy? He has been really good as of late, ziguana says he has been top 18th over the last 30 days.

Oh and K-Mart....he has kinda been a bit disappointing lately. But I need him because he generally makes 2+ 3's and above 45%, I need him to have a chance at winning that cat. He doesn't produce anywhere else besides 3s and points really, i wish he got to the line more.

I think Amare is a big name but I don't seeing him having massive role of the NY team.in a ten team league it would be ok to hold him if you wanted.

Dudley is a tad more efficient but Afflalo has less competition for minutes on a weak Orlando Team. I would be fine with either.

How many Centers can you play a night in your league?

Amare sucks, he's done. Been saying this for a while and don't think he'll prove me wrong.

If you're the stubborn type feel free to hold on to him. -shrugs-

You can improve by looking up everyone's playoff schedule and stacking your team with the most games played in those weeks.

Thanks. I think I will hold him for a while then, pretty sure guys like Afflalo and Dudley will always be there in a shallow league.

I can play 3. 2 center positions and 1 at utility. Also, they have Cousins as PF/C so i can play him at PF or F.

Any other suggestions, you seem to know your stuff. Possible trades I can make maybe for a better center or a good shooting guard?

Also, what do you think of Lawson? why is he being such a scrub, will he get any better? and i am not that sold on Lillard yet since his percentages are week but production is good. and gallo i am trying to move but seems everyone is scared of his inconsistency

Thanks I will definitely look to do the stacking. But I gotta at least give Amare about a month to try to prove you wrong.

You are allowed 2 Adds each week from waivers. I'm not sure about how many trades are allowed, I have made 2 trades. Trading is not common in the league, seems everyone is holding and waiting and then will do a bunch near playoff time.

Can you give me advice on this question. Should I drop Amare right now and add Granger, as he should be back either late this month or early Feb (and I assume start or at least get healthy minutes quickly). Or should I hold on Amare and wait for his value to go up assuming he can string together some good games this month?

I have amare on my team and I am going to hold him for a bit to see what he gives. I was watching his game yesterday and he had several shots/ lay ups go all the way but down. If he puts together a few good games I would try to trade him.

I would hold Galo and Ty for a bit. They have the easiest schedule in the league for this month with a lot of home games. After that I would look to trade Galo.

In my opinion, h2h comes down to basically luck at the end that your best players are healthy AND PLAY.

My only recommendation is that you try and preserve a high waiver priority on hopes of striking a game changing player if someone makes a poor decision.

No, don't drop Amare for Granger

If u are allowed two transactions a week . I would keep 1 spot open and just stream 2 players every week

Still not ready to drop Amare?

Amare Stoudemire will only play about 20 minutes on Thursday after experiencing soreness following Monday's game.
STAT played 28 minutes on Monday, and while some soreness should be expected, it's concerning that the team has to cut down his minutes so shortly after he returns. If the soreness becomes a pattern, the Knicks will likely have to reevaluate the plan for Stoudemire. Stay tuned.
