I’m currently 2-1.  It’s a 12 team H2H league with standard 9 categories.  Any suggestions on what type of moves I should be looking to make?

I’m pretty set at guard so I think I can afford to stash Davis.  Current guards:

PG – Derrick Rose
PG – Ricky Rubio
PG – Iman Shumpert
SG – Andre Igoudala
SG – Marcus Thornton

Drop Shumpert to pick up Davis?  Other option is Matt Barnes, but I’d be awfully guard-heavy if I made that move

Would you pick up Devan Harris att he expense of Stucky, Ridnour, Batum or Harrington?

What are your thoughts on him going forward?

The internet is awfully quiet with any additional news about Gordon other than the first report that he’d be out 2-3 week with that knee injury.That was about 1 and a half weeks ago, and although I have not heard anything negative about his progress, I’d assume at this point his return is going to be more like 3 weeks than 2 since we’d probably have heard something by now if he was going to play in the next few days.

Gordon’s games played over his short career are 62, 56 and 2 (so far this season). I think he’s a huge injury risk going forward myself.

Hey Tullsta, here is where I project your team to do on a weekly basis:

pts 652
reb 307
ast 152
stl 61
blk 43
to 94
3pm 25
fgp 46%
ftp 75%

And here is what your average opponent is like:

pts 690
reb 281
ast 151
stl 55
blk 34
to 98
3pm 45
fgp 46%
ftp 76%

The first thing I noticed is that you said you were 2-1, so it sounds like your league awards a single win to the team that wins the most categories during the week. In case, I’d strong suggest going big with your team and don’t even try to compete in some of the small guy stats like threes and possibly even assists. Your goal should be to be so strong in the big man categories that there is almost no chance you’ll lose those on a weekly basis, and therefore, almost no chance that you won’t get that win. 

If you do that, then you don’t need Channing Frye since he’s your primary contrbutor to threes. It’ll be tough to get much value for him in a trade since he’s playing horribly, so it’s possible you want to wait until he has a hot streak (cross your fingers) and flip him them. Since you also have the league’s top shot blocker in McGee, you should build around that a little more. It be nice to see if you could get another shot blocker not named Tyrus Thomas to complement McGee. 

In terms of add/drops, I think Jerbko, West and possibly even Thomas can be dropped provided there are suitable replacements for them in your league. I’d focus on being as strong as you can in points/boards/blocks/steals (with your guards)/TOs and the percentages and pickup guys who can help in those categories. 

Good luck!

I’m debating between picking up one of three forwards: Chandler Parsons, Tyrus Thomas or Booker. I like Parsons’ versatility but I also need blocks which Thomas gives. Which one would be the best going forward?

All is forgiven for Dorell Wright? He was decent this week, so I assume he’s undroppable in a 12×14 league, but are we expecting him to keep improving? 

 I’ve had the (mis)fortune of having Tyrus for all of last week. HIs 8 blocks were nice & 89% FT on 9 FTs…..but he brought nothing else to the table. At least he doesn’t turn over the ball alot. Still not sure why he can’t get 7+ rebounds a game though….

 LOL, the lack of rebounding reminds me of this priceless quote that MJ made referring to Stacey King in the book ‘The Jordan Rules’ (highly recommended read BTW):

“You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty
pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can’t get but two rebounds,
if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds?
Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can’t even stick his shit
into people and get more than that…Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in
three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless
forward.”

What’s the argument for Parsons over Booker? Am I the only one who has not yet gone down on Parsons?

I would expect him to continue to improve, thought that’s still not saying much at this point. Not sure if he’ll get back to a 2nd/3rd round pick type value, but he should be able to at least get back some amount of respect.

Haha, I’m not sure, but I look at Trevor Booker and I see Shane Battier without the threes. He’s ranked 157 on the rater since becoming a starter. If I needed a spot start I could see using him in a 12-team league, but long term I just don’t know where the upside is.

Is Batum worth using my #1 waiver spot on? I am leaning towards it as our waiver wire is very thin.. Another available free agent being Chandler parsons. I’d be dropping somebody along the lines of tyrus Thomas or Rodney Stuckey.
thanks!
