Started with Durant... How did I do? 

Post#1 » by stl705 » Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:12 pm

OK, so I got in a 16 team, H2H league. I couldn't make the draft and ended up with the 1st pick.

Durant
Ellis
Noah
Mayo
J. Green
Biedrens
Marv. Williams
W. Chandler
Korver
Gr. Hill
Hawes
Brewer

I then traded Monta, W. Chandler, and Hawes for D. Rose so my starting lineup is
Rose, Mayo, Durant, Green, Noah, and Biedrins at Util....

How did I do? Should I look to trade any of these guys for any type of stat?

wow you got ripped off... Rose is not that good. especially as a fantasy player. he sucks at 3's doesn't shoot great %'s doesnt get steals or blocks, gets a lot of TO's. hes good with assists but id even consider keeping monta over him due to his steal #'s

It seems to me you traded away your tradable assets while there value was lowest.

Hawes is starting now and will see decent time. Chandler is a solid late round pick who gets large scoring totals good %'s and gets a few 3's blocks and steals.

brewer biedrins korver and hill all gotta go. maybe green to since having him and durant might be a bad call.

package korver and hill for a PG like calderon since you need a back up. His lack of scoring wont matter with durant and rose and his good % and assists will help you.

I dont know what the value of brewer or biedrins are since i avoid them but id consider trading him for someone like scola. your team sucks at blocks so i would flop it if i were you and get a rebounding big with good %. might struggle a bit with FG.

Moral of the story acquire back up PG with korver and hill
swap biedrins for a good shooting rebounding non blocking big man aka scola


little tip... most teams try to flop %'s which make them easy to win. minus biedrins your team shoots great FT%.

You traded 3 players, one of them Monta Ellis who is almost equal to Rose anyway as far as fantasy value goes just for Rose?

There's almost never a situation where you can go 3 for 1, ever.

Ok thanks for the input ill see what I can do.

Edit: I traded for Rose because he's my favorite player and I wasn't gonna get equal value for him. This is his 3rd year as was last year for Durant and I think his numbers break out.
