fantasy bball first timer

so...i'm new at this thing even though i watch basketball...anyways here is my team:

PG: Jason Terry
SG: Kobe Bryant
SF: Tayshaun Prince
PF: Michael Beasley
C: Pau Gasol
C: Andrew Bynum
G: Andre Iguodala
F: Peja Stojakovic
Util: Mickael Pietrus
Util: Earl Watson
Util: Luc Mbah a Moute

Bench: Deron Williams
Bench: Manu Ginobili
Bench: Al Harrington


Anyways, so my team's not doing all that hot right now and i think that i have crappy scrubs (Pietrus, Watson, Moute), but i have no idea what to do nor who trade for...any suggestions or comments to help?

my three bench guys are basically injured and williams is on and off with his playing time cuz of his ankle....... thanks!

Deron should be back within a week, where u can slot him in as ur PG. Harrington looks as if he will be traded to the knicks this weekend where he will almost certainly start, and be the first or second scoring option with Nate Robinson. so he can slot in as a Util player for sure. Once Manu gets back youll get a top 50 guy as a flex spot as well. so basically ud be down 1 solid flex spot IMO.

Terry and Pietrus are both quality flex spot options.

what does ur waiver wire have on it? id be lookin to drop watson and Moute, depending on who is on the wire.

just looking at ur roster, seems like ur lite on assist and threes. so if ur lookin to trade those would be 2 cats to target. although Dwill will help drastically with assist when he gets back.

hey, thanks for replying and wow u did that analysis fast. anyways, agree with what you're saying and i'm happy now that suddenly harrington's "back spasm" is healed and he's going to the KNicks. D wills will hopefully be back and suppsedly manu is back this coming monday. i actually dropped watson for roger mason (i guess until tony parker comes back) then i was thinking about dropping mason and/or luc mbah moute for mcgee. any advice on that?

[Lconte17]

keep mason for now... once parker and manu come back hell be there fourth scoring options, u can prob drop him then for someone

great team if its 12 teams...your set when ginobli,harrington and williams are back...trade pietrus asap while his stock is still high...hes not really this good...id look to get rid of watson and moute and look for guys like bargani,jameer nelson, morrow on gstate if hes still out there...there are usually decent starters on waivers that people overlook...i try to have one wildcard/flex kind of guy on my team---morrow being the guy right now

[jdubble u]

thanks guys,

so i just dropped pietrus and picked up rasho nesterovic, i also picked up larry hughes (which i'm iffy about) and i'm not sure when to play d wills since he's DTD, and i don't think putting manu for next week is wise....i'm thinking al harrington will start playing and so i put him back in the line up. so basically my three util guys are mason, rasho nesterovic, and al harrington. benched are d will and manu , and larry hughes.....

what sucks is that this is a 10 team league, but obviously i didn't pick good scrub players to fill up my rosters...should i trade for someone? i'm not good with offering trades...

[Lconte17]

dwill is prob playing wed. which is utahs first game of three this week.. im starting dwill on my team, as well as start harrington myself

[jdubble u]
