8 Man H2H, wondering if I should drop anyone for available.

USP123 · Post #1 » by **USP123** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 8:34 pm

Hey guys the league counts FG%, 3PTM, 3PT%, FT%, OREB, TREB, PTS, STL, BLK, T/O.

My team consists of:

1. Lamarcus Aldridge
2. James Harden
3. Kyle Lowry
4. Damian Lillard
5. Joakim Noah
6. Chris Bosh
7. Mike Conley
8. Marcin Gortat
9. Nikola Pekovic - weakest link in my opinion
10. David West
11. Anthony Davis
12. Klay Thompson
13. Darren Collison

I did really well my first week, but am skeptical about how I'll fare against a couple other teams in the league loaded with superstars.

A few notable players that can help:

John Wall - injured (someone just dropped)
JJ Redick (I'm thinking I should drop someone for him)
Chris Kaman
Mike Dunleavy
Grievis Vasquez
Thaddeus Young
OJ Mayo (Low FG% hurts)
Andrei Kirilenko
Robin Lopez
Javale McGee

Thanks guys.

I like Redick right now since Jameer is hobbled and Hedo is injured. Overall, I think Robin Lopez could be a great pickup in the long run, but I'm not entirely sold on him yet. I think Pek will pick up his play though; remember there's no KLove to grab those boards, so somebody will have to pick up the scraps, and Pek is quite a good rebounder.

Assist is not a category so that really kills John Wall's value. 3PT counts two categories that makes Redick more valuable. Pekovic for Redick is no brainer.

Whoops, forgot Assists. Does that make Wall or Redick a better target?

Thanks guys.

Agree on Pek being a great rebounder, I'm thinking maybe I should see his performance tonight and make a judgement based on that?

I can't believe someone dropped Wall so early. He could be back by the end of this month. Pick him up. Redick is also a good pickup if he keeps it up. He'll get plenty of minutes and opportunities with Turkoglu and Nelson out.

Dang, that's the thing though. I won't be able to take both. Only 1 add per week.

I love Redick for his 3's, points, and assists. Wall can catch rebounds better, but doesn't shoot the 3.

In your opinion, if you were to decide between the two right now, who would you take keeping in mind that Wall will be out until the end of November?

I would stand pat for now

Yeah, every player seems to be delivering. Pekovic gave me a good game today. Collison dished me double digit points and assists.

West seems to be kind of a pointless player to have on the team I have though if I were to pick a new weakest link. Gives me stats I'm already stacked in. Maybe I should drop him for someone like Mayo, Redick, or Kirilenko?

Not so sure anymore if you should pick up Wall after looking at your roster. I wouldn't know who to drop and you already have 3 good PGs.

I don't think West will continue playing like this when Granger comes back. If you really want to pick someone up, I would try a 2 for 1 trade and get back a good player.

Yeah, Wall just seems inefficient and will be a detriment to FG% and T/O's.

I agree on the Granger part. No way West gets the same amount of touches. He'll still be solid and grab like 13-14 points a game with 6-7 rebounds, but definitely not what I need.

Now that you point the whole trade thing out, I might just give it a shot. Thanks man.

By the way, here's what I consider the best team in the league.

Jamal Crawford
Kevin Durant
Jeremy Lin
Ray Allen
J.R. Smith
Anderson Varejao
Carmelo Anthony
Tim Duncan
Tyson Chandler
Rajon Rondo
Ryan Anderson
Demarcus Cousins
Kevin Martin

I don't really see how I'll compete against that.

He can do everything I do with an advantage at the three.

Well the guy still has a ton of potential and showed some improvement near the end of last season. You wouldn't get him for the stats he averaged last season, but in hopes he finally breaks out this season.

A lot of those guys are playing a lot better than they usual do. There's noway Varejao, Allen, Duncan, Martin, Crawford keep playing at this level
