Building around Bosh and Roy screams %'s. Also keep in mind that while Roy doesnt really gives you huge amounts of ast, he doesnt turn over the ball a lot either. Seeing as you drafted Martin and Murphy too, you're strong in points and probably could build on that adding 2 more 3pt shooters.

Some pointers: get rid of Artest and Stephen. They nullify your strong %'s. I'd try to trade them for good shot blockers/rebounders. You could maybe get a Horford (good %'s for a C) for them along with a lesser god (add Brewer for example, strong %'s and stls).

Your blks are really weak but should be fairly easy to get if you can manage to haul in a Andersen. Also check for Haywood. He will give good rebs and blks for cheap. OIther than that, nice team. Keep an eye on Flynn, Curry and Jennings, they could be had easily and would help your ast cat a lot. Which you could use.

so I need to focus on getting AST and STL and 3 and REB and BLK?
while keeping my % good?
that's really tough lol

I have just proposed a trade, Ron Artest + Hibbert for Ray Allen and Sam Dalembert.
wonder if he bites on it :p

PerkinsFor3 · Post #5 » by **PerkinsFor3** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:45 am

I'd keep Hibbert over Sam. You wont get Allen for Artest straight up, but I wouldnt mind throwing in Step[hen Jackson for Allen + a scrub. Maybe Artest for Redd?

And Really, try to get Andersen.

and I just realized that Hibbert is beasting lately so I am keeping him and may sell high later on.

dumping SJax would mean giving up AST all the way though.
so maybe a Duhon for Andersen swap, and Sjax + Artest for Ray Allen and RIP?

PerkinsFor3 · Post #7 » by **PerkinsFor3** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 12:55 pm

maybe sounds good.

or keeping duhon and getting ford would help, but stephen's ast are not going to make the difference.

damn I was offered Dirk+Ben Gordon for SJax and Bosh.
and I really want to accept the offer.

should I just drop Artest? nobody seems to want him at all.
I am thinking about picking up Mcdyess or Haywood off waiver :p

Do the trade. It's just best to be rid of SJax. I wouldn't drop Artest. He's still too valuable to just drop. I'd wait into the season before doing something like that. If his performance is hurting you, then you can drop or if he performs well enough then you can trade him. No point in making a preseason add/drop with him. I would continue to see if you can move Duhon for someone that fits better with your team.

Thanks for the inputs guys!

I am looking to win all three %, PTS every week
and be competitive in REB and block, while punting AST and ST altogether.

so lately i have been shopping duhon for some block specialist like Dalembert Perkins Andersen and Noah. Duhon plus Artest should net me something nice.

I would suggest looking at guys like Spencer Hawes and Memhet Okur they can both get you rbs blks and 3pts. Hawes will look good this year he's going to be one of the primary options for the kings. You really do need to focus in on PTS, 3's, and RBS. You should also be able to pull out good percentage numbers. IF you can lock up a couple categories and give yourself a fighting chance in the others you should have a good shot at winning each week.
