My Team - Very deep league

Just finished drafting.

30 Team League. Weekly H2H. 8 Cats. 6 starters, 4 bench.

PG: Kidd (1st round)
SG: JR Smith (4th round)
SF: Caron Butler (Franchise player)
PF: David lee (3rd round)
C: Okur (2nd round)
UTIL: Barnes (5th round)

Bench: Brandon Bass, Telfair, Willie Green, Mike Taylor

I decided to tank blocks when drafting, but end up picking up JR Smith, so 3's are plentiful without Okur. So may be looking to upgrade at C.

Each week i'll work out my opponents weaknesses, and bring in Barnes for 3's, Bass for FG%, Telfair for Assists.

Thoughts? Any players I should target in a trade?

Damn that's a good team for a 30-team league.

You have a top 10 in Butler, a top 40 in Kidd, a top 50 in Okur, and a top 80 in Lee. The others are just bonuses. Now... for Butler to stay healthy!

Steals, 3's, rebounds, assists look quite nice. You may be beat in FG% if a team has a gun FG% guys (Amare, Gaosl, Bynum etc...) or in FT%, if your opponent has high-volume high-% shooters (being such a big league their shots weight more), but I think you have a a great base to build upon.

There are few better c's to tank blocks with than Okur. Maybe Boozer/Harrington/Chandler/Murphy would be good C's for you to target if you are done with blocks.

the league is a continuation from the 1st year nba.com did their UFC.

We do an offline draft with picks every 2 hrs. Yeah it takes some time, but it's pretty competitive and a good format as long as your top 3 guys don't get injured...

Potential centres that i'd target would be Chandler, Bogut and Miller.

However I can't get Okur's post-allstar break #'s out of my head:
17.0ppg 1.9 3pg 10.3rpg 2.0apg 0.9spg 0.3bpg 48.0%fg 80.7% ft

Plus he is in contract year. So looks like i'll probably sit on my team for the first few weeks, unless someone thinks i'll struggle to win 5 cats each week.
