hey shaq attack bro...sorry took me a few days to get back to ya. but i did take a look at your roster and here are few things i see: no doubt you were the clear cut winner on draft night but injuries and players not living up to their expectations have hurt your chances. very timely draft on vince carter as he's on his contract year and should have a great year. tony parker, barbosa (has slowed down a bit as of late), haslem, prince are the heart and soul of your team as they give you a little bit of everything in each stats category. so great job putting this piece of puzzle together (you are like the spurs in finding these players who are great role players to complement your superstar KING JAMES). now i understand your concerns with jermaine o'neal but it might not be as bad as you think it is. sure he's not having the kind of year we are used to seeing from him but he is still one of the top 10 big men (and we all know how valuable big men specially with blocking ability are for your fantasy roster). so, go ahead a look for a trade but no need to get discouraged if you don't find the value you are looking for in return....just keep him on your roster and you should be fine (you are only hurting a bit in rebounding by keeping him but have plenty of other scoring option). plus if jermaine gets traded, you're gonna see him perform at a much higher level regardless of where he goes (chicago, lakers, knicks could be one of 'em). gambling on adam morrison seems to have paid off and uncle chucky has been a pleasent surprise as well...so good job there! ok enough with good jobs now LOL time to get down to bznass i think you have 2 guys in your roster that do not deserve be on a fantasy roster (except may be for an one night stand...if you are looking to get some help on a category). luke walton and kenny thomas, although both are starts but they don't do a thing for me, they will never make you win a category but they will make sure you will never win FT% category (not to mention you already have a lot of help in FT% from shaq daddy). so just by dropping these 2 guys you are going to be in much better shape FT% wise. now shaq daddy...when healthy and playing is wroth a roster spot but no way when he's out (esp not knowing how or when he will come back from injury at this point in his career). so now if you drop these 3 guys, you will basically have FT% your way (usually you need to pick up players to win a category but in your case you can do them by dropping). your roster is thin in assist so if you drop any players you need to pick guys who can give you assists (but other teams are lacking in this category too as you can see from the recent FA pickups of PGs). if you want some assist help from trading, i would try to packaging chucky atkins and tim thomas (because they are playing well and have 3pts range which is another category most managers here are missing in their roster) and try to get a solid 6+ assist per game PG. you will still be left with enough 3pts shooters left in your roster and you know you have players you need to drop, so may be if you feel the need pick up a 3pts shooter from FA. well thats about it bro....you already did a great job in putting the nucleus together for your team so i don't doubt your bball IQ, now if you make few more adjustment to your roster, you'll be going deep into post season.
