Help With FT% and TO Punting....

mastermixer · Post #1 » by **mastermixer** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 11:46 pm

8 Team H2H League. 9 CAT Standard Yahoo League.

I have Dwight Howard on my team so I feel like I have to "punt" FT% and TO.

I'm trying to figure out the best players I should acquire to maximize my team.

My Roster:

PG Ty Lawson (Den - PG)
SG Eric Gordon (NO - SG)*
G Kyrie Irving (Cle - PG)
SF Tyreke Evans (Sac - SG,SF)*
PF Andrei Kirilenko (Min - SF,PF)*
F DeMar DeRozan (Tor - SG,SF)
C Serge Ibaka (OKC - PF,C)
C Nikola Pekovic (Min - C)
Util Jameer Nelson (Orl - PG)
Util Mike Conley (Mem - PG)
BN Greg Monroe (Det - C)
BN Dwight Howard (LAL - C)
BN Nicolas Batum (Por - SG,SF)
BN Amar'e Stoudemire (NY - PF,C)*

Some Trades I feel I should Offer-- Do you think this trades are realistic/ even good for my team?

Conoley for Rondo

Dwight for K Love

Greg Monroe for Al Horford

Pekovic for Omer Asik

Tyreke Evans for Iguidala

Some notable free agents (remember shallow league)

Andrew Bynum

Danny Granger

Marcus Thornton

Ersan Ilyasova

Andrew Bogut

Arron Afflalo

John Wall

I am already in 7/8 place due to injurys on my team.

U don't have to punt anything in H2H

U are losing because u have AMare and Gordon

U need to drop the dead weight and pick up some players that are actually playing

I just picked up amare. And have only had Gordan for a few weeks. I've lost every week that Kyrie Irving has been out and I am winning this week so far now that he is back.

Why would I drop them now when all I have to do is get 6 th place to make the play offs. Isn't all about have the best players playing in the final weeks?

Well it wasn't just Kyrie

You had

Kyrie
amre
Gordon
Evans
AK47
Batum - a couple I think

In short, I don't think u should make all these trades because you don't really know what you have due to injuries

I am not convinced Gordon and Amare are gonna be healthy all season

But why do you say there is no need to punt in a h2h leage? I don't see any way my team can be competitive in ft% with Dwight.

I am probably going to just stick with my team as is. Just wanted to see if my trade ideas are in the realm of posiblilty and if they improve my team.

Recent reports have been positive for Gordan and amare so I'm not sure why I would drop them for wins today.

Don't you agree tho that it is all about having the best possible line up in the end when it matters in the play offs and sacrife wins and standings now?

I don't think u need to punt categories for one player. Just because u have Howard doesn't mean u have to lose Ft every week is what I am saying.

I am not a big fan of holding multiple injured players in H2H

Once u lose a game u can't make it up the way u can in roto...

What I was saying is you wanted to trade ur players because u were losing but it would have been a lateral move at best because really isn't addressing the issues why u were most likely losing .

Also I don't think Hordon is motivated to play jor do I think he wants to play in N.O and He has no incentive to do so since he signed a max category.

I have Derrick Rose on my ream(keeper league) but I have no doubt Rode will do everything possible to rehab to the best of his abilities. Now if I had multiple injured players in H2H that's different. I am currently 2nd in a very competitive league

Keep Amare and Gordon but don't trade your other players until u know hatbu team can do

Surround Howard with a couple guys like Bosh or Kevin Martin. You already have a good FT%+ guy on your team in DeRozan so keep that theme and you wont have to punt TOs.

OP has the right idea. You are pretty much forced to punt. Dunno why everyone's trying to convince you otherwise. Howard sucks to own.
