It's a 10 man L and you got those players?
What sort of scrubs did the other 9 coaches draft???

You are slightly light on blocks, and your FT% isn't likely to be top-tier. Good draft for you I think, if I was in your place I would seroiusly think about dealing Kidd for a different PG. Maybe a package of Kidd & Ricky Davis for a Baron Davis & quality bench swing player would be good for your team.
Overall, I like your choices, especially if Amir Johnson gets it together and produces for the Pistons at PF.

Light on blocks? Perhaps...
D12 said he wants to lead the league in blocks, Bynum will hit a minimum of 2bpg, LeBron will average a block per, Garcia will be right around that range with increased minutes, and Amir (if he starts) will be among the league leaders (IMO).
I could definitely use more blocks, but I don't know how dire it is.
As for trading Kidd, he gives me solid rebounding, 3's, he's my assist leader, he steals at a nice pace, and shoots a nice FT%.

Your team is in good shape for blocks, definitely not in dire shape. Point taken on Kidd, he is a bonus with REB for a guard.
If we consider blocks, my Fantasy strategy is to have the SF,PF,F,C,C positions yield an average of 6+ blocks per game minimum. That will usually get you a top-third standing in blocks, if not top 2 seeding in that category.
Let's say Dwight gets 3 per game. Lebron gets 1 on average. I'm with on Bynum getting 2+ per game. Between Garcia & Amir, you should get 1-2 blocks per game.
You're right, I underestimated the blocks for your team.

There's a good chance Bynum is more around 2.5bpg, and if Amir sees 20mpg, he'll easily be right around the 1.5bpg mark.
