From the looks of it you could've done better in a 10 team league.

Not sure if you were aware of Dunleavy's injury at the time of the draft but his absence really cripples your team. Without him, your severly lacking in 3's, and %'s he would give you. Not to mention the loss in points.

You pretty much tanked the assists cat. and that's going to really hurt you since you don't dominate a lot of other cats. I like your chances to win Steals, but outside that you may wind up a the bottom FT%, Assists and possibly points.

I'd look to move Wade if he can put together a few good games for a top tier PG and a second tier SG if you could work something out like that.

Ya I noticed that I needed more assist... I added TJ Ford for Francisco Garcia yesterday off of the wire using my priority. He should bump me in Assist and Points

I didnt know Dunleavy was injuried when I drafted him unfortunately

I have been considering moving Wade to try and get more balance. Its just hard to gauge to what I should be targeting.

Wow Ford was available off waivers?

Lol well that takes care of a huge concern for you.
Maybe you could just work the waivers aggressively this year to help you out in the cats your lacking since it appears people in your league give up on guys too easily.

Yea I was certaintly suprised to see him there, I was lucky I still had #1 Priority.

Weak FT% is not what I was anticipating... I'm assuming you think Wade will bring it down due to his high attempts and iffy %. He also brings down turnovers, but I think I'd need to keep him cuz he obviously bumps me in points/assist.

Someone had inquired about Wade before, but I had to reject it, cuz at that time I didnt have TJ Ford, and I couldnt allow even more decrease in Assist

Well Wade and Biedrins especially, but the fact that you don't have someone exceptional to carry you in the cat will really wear you down (Dunleavy could alleviate some worries here as I indicated before).

Low 70s is typically in the bottom 3 for FT%.
