Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
sergsz,
I think the problem is that you're putting all your chips in one basket, which could severely limit your options down the road. Whereas if you end up with Dirk, Lebron, KG, etc., you still have some flexibility later. Plus, the whole trade value thing. But don't listen to me, I'm probably gonna get pwned in this league.

[ QUOTE ]
From the things you and Irish Hand have been saying before, I had assumed that the key to success in this league is to ignore 2 or 3 categories and try to dominate the others. Wouldn't that make Dwight an attractive pick? Plus, the trade value thing cuts both ways, some of your guys will have less trade value, but guys that with low FT% that aren't very valuable to their current owners will be very valuable to you. [/ QUOTE ] He's a sweet player, but so long as he's on your team, you have no choice but to concede not being competitive in FT%. If you ignore FT% as a category, DHoward jumps to top 5 production...but it IS a category. The problem is that from round 1, your strategy has been forced onto you. Round 2 comes along and there is a guard with great %s (say Ray Allen) that dropped and he's far and away the best player available on your draft list. Well, his (Ray's) value is considerably lessened because his FT% excellence is wasted. You then get to choose between picking an inferior overall player (who fits well with Howard) or taking Ray Allen and having a poorly contructed team. On the flip side, if you start with a real top 10 guy who doesn't hurt you anywhere (KG, Dirk, Marion, Nash - even Camby), then in round two you can take whoever you want. The later you are forced to adopt a strategy by taking a flawed player, the better imo. You can always find mid-draft and late-draft specialists (great 3-point shooters, good rebounders who don't do much else, shot-blocking Cs etc)...but it's almost impossible to work around one guy who kills one category. Don't get me wrong - Dwight Howard will definitely be a 1st round pick in the N2 - and he should be, but his team will be operating from a different framework from the get-go...

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
[ QUOTE ] join our league? also, am I the only one who finds Dirk to be the most attractive #1? I haven't checked his #s on this scoring system, but I'm just assuming it's near the top and he positively contributes in about every stat (I think even his TOs are OK). [/ QUOTE ] If you have available spots, I am def in! I thought the league was full, though. Let me know conclusively? Agree on Dirk. The only better player is Marion and his numbers may fall when he leaves Phoenix.

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
We should send Assani an email. If he answers, he stays in, if not...

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
I'm sure that won't be necessary. Also, Bowens is first up on the alternate list. I love the interest though and definitely we will get Morell in at some time.
There are two leagues with 32 total teams. I'm sure a spot or two will be available next year. We average 1-2 spots per league per offseason that open up.

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
Only thing I'm afraid of in this upcoming draft is my internet connection. I don't want everyone getting pissed off because the internet here loves cutting out occasionally. It's usually pretty good on the weekends but with my luck it'll decide to [censored] with me when I need it most.

Re: **Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread**
I think there is a few people ahead of morello in the queue even if commish decides to boot Assani. My remark was more of a taunt, as I think you severely undervalue Dwight. And I'm not convinced Marion/Dirk are tops (KG, for example). The point is, you can build a successful team multiple ways, so it's not enough to just say A>B.

Needle, no offense, but it's 2007, bro. Get out da boonies. We got a guy in Alaska for crissakes. [/ QUOTE ] Trust me, once I graudate its out of Pennsylvania. I have to go home to Jersey occasionally just to see civilization. BTW, it's actually because I'm cheap and bought a really crappy wireless router and it craps out because so many people use it. So usually weekends its fine.
