Can I improve my team based on the available players?

[alseca]

First of all, sorry if my post loads a bit slowly (due to images)

Hey lads, Im in a 4-team league with some friends (I know its small). After watching the bulls game the other day I must say that I was not really fond of Loul deng.. I know its just one game but it still bugs me. I already traded Manu ginobili for Pierce..


Got the following team:


Wondering if I can Improve it with the following players?







Would really appreciate your insight and suggestions!

Is this a 2 team league?

This is a 4 team league, first time/season me and my three friends start playing NBA fantasy after following the league for 10-12 years :)

Not to sound like a dick but 4 team leagues, or even 8 team leagues are stupid. Everyone has such stacked teams that it's really just a coin toss.

Alright then, I know its not optimal and that we should perhaps have joined a bigger league together. However this is how things turned out when a couple of other mates didn't sign up.. But thanks for at least replying!


I guess I'll take my chances on my own. Just can't seem to figure out if I should keep loul deng or not

If you're in a competitive league, every league is a coin toss. I'd rather be in a 8-team league with 7 of my friends who know their fantasy then a 12 team league where half the teams don't try / know what they are doing.

Also thinking about getting rid of Marcus Thornton besides loul deng, what do you guys reckon? Switch Thornton for Paul george perhaps?

This is the plan at the moment:

Team Notes
Waiver 1 - Nov 2: Paul Pierce dropping Manu Ginobili
Waiver 2 - Nov 2: Paul George dropping Marcus Thornton
Waiver 3 - Nov 2: Joakim Noah dropping Luol Deng

Any constructive criticism out there? : - )

Don't know why but your images don't work for me.

First, with only four teams I hope you have a moves limit. Otherwise, you can stream* like hell and not worry about losing a quality player.

So far I really like the Pierce trade. Some my say he is an injury risk but Manu seems to fade down the stretch.

George for Thornton, no opinion. That on could go either way but is probably the right move. As of right now George is a starter but Thornton will probably play similar minutes off the bench.

Deng for Noah probably a good move. Noah is the high ranked player. Hard to believe that Deng is waiver fodder.

Of the moves you made it looks like you greater helped your FG%, points and rebounds.

*Stream to drop a play that does not play tomorrow to add one that does those adding additional games played.

Thanks for your opinion GrapeApe, I really appreciate your comments! This makes me believe that Im making the correct movies. Regarding the pictures, not sure what went wrong but here's my current team:

Deron WIlliams PG
Chris Paul PG
Dwayne Wade PG, SG
Marcus Thornton SG
Nicolas Batum SG, SF
Manu Ginobili SG, SF
Loul Deng SF
Rudy Gay SF, PF
Paul Millsap PF
Al Jefferson PF, C
Tim Duncan PF, C
Al Horford PF, C
Kevin Love PF, C

And yes, there is a movies limit to counter such actions! But thanks for the info about streaming, was not aware of such a "strategy".

Lastly, maybe I should add a 3p specialist with this team instead of noah? I get quite a lot of rebounds already, was simply trying to improve on blocks a bit. Any comments?
