For a nine team league, I think it could be better.

exactly.
to be honest, your team is horrible...you have 3 players from the knicks (im not saying those players are bad, but it's good to diversify your players in fantasy...esp in roto).
if i were you, i'd get rid of felton...dude is gonna be a bust (prolly get you 6 points 6 assist)

your backup players are pretty good and they say the key to winning fantasy basketball is by having solid backup players
few other good backup players this upcoming season are delonte west, mcgee, luke ridnour, martell webster, jj reddick (this maybe his breakout season), dejuan blair...obviously these are gonna be your late round picks

 

[onetrust]

I'ma have to agree with the rest of them.  For a 9 team league that doesn't look beastly at all.

By the way, is a 9 team league even fun? 

We need a sticky on this thread.

 

[franchise 55]

I honestly think 14 team leagues are the most fun. They're more challenging and the pot is bigger for the winner.

Joined the auction league on Yahoo posted on here. Draft is weds.

Thinking about taking a laid back approach & go after sleepers & try to not reach (Spend all my cash) on guys like Lebron and then have a sorry +!$ team

 

[nike4kja05]

should I trade jamison or jeff green for john wall? I'm in dire need of a PG. I have curry, jrue holiday, and dj augustin so I really do need another.

 

[nicedudewithnicedreams]

lolz. wut. do it.

 

[bangdak]

Team is solid, but eh. A lot of bright spots, but your starters arent that great. One of my favorite basketball threads every year

 

[nbafatso]

Finally, its that time of the year again.

if you can trade jeff green for john wall, you should do it ASAP. I dont think anyone who's been watching the preseason games would let their john wall go for mediocre players. His chemistry with his team is pretty damn good for a rookie...at least 6-8 assists per game.
Jamison will be a key player for his team. You dont wanna let him go.

 

[clockin dollars]

I've been trying to find a weakness and I guess it'd be blocks, maybe assists. Any insight from NTers?

14.	(279)	Daniel Gibson (Cle - PG,SG)
15.	(282)	Marco Belinelli (NO - SG)
16.	(319)	Eric Bledsoe (LAC - PG,SG)

I'm going to start:

PG. Chris Paul
SG. Dorell Wright (Starting SF for GS
G. Marco Belinelli (Starting SG for NOH)
SF. Hedo Turk
PF. Adray Blatche
F. Trevor Ariza
C. Andrea Bargnani
C. Demarcus Cousins

Tyson Chandler


Thoughts? Remember this was 20 man league so players were spread out much differently than an average 12 man league

Your team is actually pretty solid. JKidd, Iggy, and Jameer should throw enough assists to keep you afloat but it depends on the health of jameer of course. Crawford shouldn't have a hard time repeating as his 6th man role this year now that JoJo got his money and Bibby is slowly on the decline especially with Jeff Teague fighting for more minutes. Bogut needs to stay healthy if you want to contend in blocks, but Ibaka is a nice sleeper pick this year. Rebounding is pretty solid with Millsap, Cousins, and K Love and Dirk, plus Iggy and JKidd rebound as well so you're good there. Overall, I like your team. If anything, I'd try and target another assist guy like Andre Miller, Jarret Jack, or Jose Calderon who don't do much but provide good FT% Assists, and 10-11 pts a game. Maybe grab another shooter as well like Morrow or JJ Reddick type guy.

Yeah I like Jamison this year as well, but I keep reading he's going to come off the bench? I guess Byron Scott really likes JJ Hickson. I'm also targeting Devin Harris cause I feel like he's going to have a great year with the additions of Morrow and Troy Murphy (if he can stay healthy though).

 

[offbad]

I need one active, fully participating owner.
It is a 20 team, 11 category, 12 on roster, H2H league.

This team was abandoned and needs a new owner:

Michael Beasley

Aaron Brooks

T.J. Ford

Randy Foye

Al Harrington

Antawn Jamison

Jason Richardson

Sergio Rodriguez

Amar'e Stoudemire

Earl Watson

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3549

Pick 5 keepers from that roster for this year's upcoming draft
