10 team, FG% FT% 3PM PTS REB AST ST BLK TO, Weekly format

PG C. Paul
SG M. Ellis
G K. Lowry
SF D. Gallinari
PF K. Faried
F K. Thompson
C S. Ibaka
UT A. Kirilenko
UT K. Humphries
UT J. Dudley
BN J. Nelson
BN D. Nowitzki
BN D. Rose

Currently in 2nd place, should be strengthened when Dirk comes back soon/ if Rose does come back. Have shopped Ellis because he is killing my FG%, but never-the-less my team isn't strong in that category. Is Paul redundant with this team?

Thanks in advance!

You're overachieving a bit, or your league isn't particularly competitive. Got a lot of holes in that roster. Ellis/Nelson/your bigs are problems. Paul is the guy keeping your team competitive. Ellis doesn't trade well and hasn't for years; eveyone knows he's a FG% killer.

Cheers, will ride it out as there aren't many takers.

How about this dynasty league I'm in:
FG% FT% 3PM PTS REB AS ST BLK TO 12 Teams

PG J. Teague
SG K. Thompson
G K. Walker
SF T. Young
PF L. Sanders
F P. George
C G. Monroe
UT K. Lowry
BN H. Barnes
BN B. Beal
BN N. Pekovic
BN J. Valanciunas
BN N. Vucevic
BN J. Wall

Finished 3rd las year and was unlucky to lose in the Semi Finals to an absurdly good team. Sitting 4th atm.
When I picked it up it a few years ago it was a mess. Have tried to go young and build the team from there. Just traded P. Gasol for Lowry before he got injured. What type of moves should I look at? I feel that Wall is expendable,but what should I look for, because he could explode in a few years?

14 teams, 13 players, 1IR 9 CAT Head to Head

PG : Rondo, Jennings, George Hill, J.Jack
SG/SF: Paul George, Klay Thompson, Parsons, Dudley
PF/C: Gasol, Pekovic, Hickson, Ilyasova, Sanders
IR: Rip Hamilton

Ilyasova has been up and down but there's a lot of trade rumors around him and if he ends up leaving after jan 15 to brooklyn, raptors or wherever and can get around 30+mins per night he can easily achieve last years scoring and rebounding.
Also around a week ago i did a trade and recieved Gasol/Jennings for Harden/Glen Davis

This year was my first time go at a fantasy league. Please don't laugh too hard. :lol:

14 team H2H Cat. on ESPN:

PG: Jrue Holiday - Draft
SG: James Harden - Draft
SF: Matt Barnes - FA
PF: Kevin Garnett - Draft
C: DeAndre Jordan - Trade
G: Manu Ginobili - Draft
F: Larry Sanders - FA
SG/SF: Bradley Beal - Draft
PF/C: Carl Landry - Draft
UTIL: Andre Miller - Draft
Bench: Tony Allen - Draft
Bench: Andray Blatche - FA
Bench: Amir Johnson -FA
Bench: C.J. Miles - FA
Bench: Dorell Wright - Trade
IR: Wilson Chandler
IR: Richard Hamilton

Made some horrific draft choices and ended up hurting myself out the gates. (Bynum in the first round. :nonono:) Despite it, I've managed to keep a playoff spot in the East where all the toughest teams are. My free agency pickups have been keeping me alive so far but I'm not sure how much longer I can compete.

Consolidate your one-dimensional 3-point marksmen.

Them's the breaks. Just tough it out with Love.

my first year was terrible too

The biggest problem isn't the early picks -- those are easy to learn. It's that you had no idea how to target sleepers. Your bench is oh so bad. Sanders is carrying you.

eh. Been saying Wall sucks since he came into the League, so I'm not forgiving that pick. Thornton proved last year he was a faker and can't really shoot 41% from 3s. Why'd you fall for it again? Hickson and Lopez is saving your bacon. Favors has decent hype value so shop him; you have one too many redundant bigs. Green can go. Wall can go.

Awful deal. Harden alone is worth those two. Never liked Jennings. High volume FG% shooters are impossible to trade and rape the balance of your squad. Good idea (trading wing depth for pg), awful execution (you sold high on the wrong dude and didn't get enough to boot).

Good wings. Think about selling high on George (very, very high) and improving your flawed PGs and/or getting another elite big. Drop Rip.

Inconsistent PGs. Great deal in a dynasty league w/ Pau for Lowry. Wall sucks but everyone sucks his dick, so wait for him to blow up and sell high. Be patient; it may take a year, but it will happen. Guaranteed.

Smart owner. Barnes sucks, so sell him at the first opportunity. Beal sucks too, but you may need a wait a year to sell him off. Don't wait too long or the hype will fall off. Hopefully wall comes back and makes beal look better than he is. Plus I might be wrong about beal. So be patient there. Just saying that so you don't consider him an untouchable.

Your team is pretty sick in a dynasty. sanders, george? jeez. Kemba? Teague? Super solid. Stand pat, keep finding value wherever it lies. You have a v flexible roster. Sell Thad young high.

I have just traded Korver + Meeks for Tony Park.

Was that a wise move? (I lead in 3P). Now I am looking for a big with godd fg and not bad FT%, do you have any idea of a really deep sleeper? (20 team league, so guys like amir johnson for example were taken).

Hi Apathy, much appreciated for the help.

You told me to package Jack/Stuckey for a better 1, and I'm wondering who to target? Most people know these guys are fringe guys on a hot streak, so it's tough to get an upper tier 1.

Stuckey's been decent recently so you can hold onto him for 2-4 more weeks and if he maintains it ship him off.

I'd package Deng (really getting banged up; a lot of minutes on his legs these past 5 years) and Jack. Dragic and Jack. MWP and Jack. AK and Jack. Lopez and Jack. You got a lot of options.

Solid team. No obvious players to trade or acquire. Basic fantasy advice applies: Put out feelers to everyone and search for value. Buy low, sell high. Initiate 2-for-1s. Hold on Dragic, he'll be fine. Collison's drop bait if anyone good is on your wire. I'd actually use the Collison spot to stream daily.

Underrated trade targets:

Pierce (every single year this dude is underrated)
Batum (9th overall right now)
David Lee (13th)
Lowry (injury concerns, coming off the bench, but he's 22nd per game)
Conley (20th per game)
Kidd (35th)
Kawhi (36th)
Thad Young (42nd)
Teague (45th)
Lin (48th)
Robin Lopez (58th)
Mo Williams (64th, hurt)
Millsap (70th; I think he improves)
Shawn Marion (80th)
Gasol (90th, think he improves)
Klay Thompson (27th in past month)
Ginobili (43rd past month)
Gallo (60th past month)
Vucevic (63rd past month)
Wallace (67th past month -- risky, but if Carlesimo is smart he'll realize Wallace at PF, Brooks at SG is the best lineup)

You have Durant. Build around that. Obviously you need to trade away a PG or two. Unfortunately, Irving is quite valuable in 8-cat leagues (15th). Irving/X for Batum/X, although with Durant you don't need another SF-only player. Irving/X for George/X. Irving for Curry straight up, assuming Curry is SG eligible. Maybe explore Irving/Harden deals. Noah, LA, Griffin, Smith, Gasol, Ibaka, AlJeff.

Your PGs are fine w/o Irving, and Irving has the most trade value on your team outside of Durant, who should obv be considered untouchable. Irving/Lopez for X/X. Irving, Williams, Lopez are really the only dudes you can afford to trade. Jordan is slumping, Pek isn't a name, Conley/Dragic are underrated and more valuable on your team than away from it, Sanders should be considered untouchable, Matthews is hurt and essential to your squad anyway, Collison's value is suppressed, Thompson has mediocre trade value.

I'd target Kidd. Kidd/Al Jeff would be perfect if the same dude has 'em. If you have a deal with Irving and Kidd, you're obv gonna need scoring back. Kidd's owner may not realize how valuable he is, but since Felton's out now's not the greatest time to trade for him. Still, w/o Felton around Kidd is a 1st-rounder.
