I have the 3rd, 8th, and 13th picks

[The Webb]

I hope you didn't pass up Josh Smith ;\

Would you trade DeMarcus Cousins for Andrew Bogut if you had my roster listed above? JJ Kickson for Emeka Okafor? That would give me the W in blocks every week.

no one is going to give you advice after you were stupid and didn't draft Smith. Anybody would die to get Howard/Rondo/Smith, he'd be the favorite to win. If your smart you'd try to trade Wade for Smith.

[retrospect24]

So I came out of draft with:

Howard
Rondo
Wade
Nene
Demarcus Cousins
Jrue Holiday
JJ Hickson
Boris Diaw
Terence Williams

What FA's and stats should I be targeting to solidify my roster?

Are you serious? Do you even read the threads you start? The advice you got was damn near unanimous and you didn't take it. Howard + Wade makes no sense. None at all. Welcome to mediocrity.

I guess what most people didn't realize or address was that I didnt pick again until 53. I needed more punch from my top 3 than howard/rondo/smith. I thought Howard/Wade/Rondo accomplished that even if it didnt stay true to the Howard strategy.

And considering that I could get bogut, okafor, or even Josh Smith via a trade, I thought it wasnt bad to start with the howard/wade/rondo core.

It's possible for your advice to be taken into consideration and appreciated without being used, ya know.

We'll see how it shakes out, but right now I would win 6 of 9 categories against 90% of the teams in my league.

You're a lost cause.

This would be like being in a sandwich making competition, you telling us that you want something with peanut butter (Dwight), and us telling you that you should get jelly (Josh Smith). Instead, you not only ignore us and go with pastrami (D-Wade), but you also decide to use mustard and relish (the rest of your team minus Rondo).

Howard/Wade/Rondo isn't good at anything outside of FG%. Not good at scoring, not good at FTs, okay at assists, okay but not great at rebounds, and mediocre defensive stats while also losing you TOs.

with Howard/Smith/Rondo you'll win FG%,Ast,Steals,Blocks,Reb, and maybe even TO. By not getting Smith and getting Wade you lose out on blocks and steals now. just try to trade Wade for Smith.
