Barigani looks rejuvenated/motivated to me in pre-season. This is fantasy so you have to consider minutes. Gomes is gonna start probably, but when Love finally over takes him does he slide to the 3 or does minnesota throw him on the bench? Mike Miller is gonna play somewhere and that factors in. Plus they have mccants and they have a hard on for Brewer. Lots questions with minnesota.

Barigani might actuallly start @ the 3. If he doesn't he is definately gonna spell all 3 front court spots. Barigani's stats are similiar to Gomes when they are on their games, but Barigani gets more blocks.

You have a nice rotation of fwds and centers. I wouldn't say you need a shooting guard cuz some of your forwards are guard eligible.

That's as far as the help goes cuz any further than that and I'm gonna have to charge you....

Thanks guys.. im really tempted to go for Rudy... does anyone know whos getting the minutes out there in portland???????

I took Gomes before Gorden and Haslem, but for some reason hes not thrilling me and I wouldnt mind letting go of him

OBviously SG is my biggest need

Posted by Elite:

here is my team:

PG
Chris Paul
Jason Kidd
Mike Conley

SG
Stephen Jackson
Jamal Crawford
Eric Gordon

SF
Danny Granger
Gerald Wallace
Luol Deng
Wilson Chandler

PF
Al Jefferson
Udonis Haslem
Ryan Gomes

C
Andrew Bynum
Brook Lopez

Stats in my league are
PTS REB AST FG% FT% STL BLK 3PM TO

Head to Head.

Here are some available free agents:
Jarryd Bayless
Tyrus Thomas
Andrea Bargnanni
James Posey
Luke Ridnour
Rudy Fernandez
Kyle Korver
Martell Webster

Any ideas of some add/drops i might wanna make?? I was thinkin about dropping Gomes but im not sure.. let me know what you guys think!

I think you might want another PF/C since this is head to head in order to ensure that you are maximizing your opportunities to fill the stat sheets. Although I like Bargnani, I am not sure where his minutes come from with the addition of O'Neal... Moon seems to be in line to inherit the most minutes.

Now, to disagree with some of the other posts, if you need 3s for any given week, I would pick up Posey over Korver. Korver isn't likely to put up the number of threes he did in Philly two years ago.

Webster is out. Let him be.

Bayless and Fernandez will be fighting over minutes and you have a lot of PG/SG/G types to fill your slots.

In fact, your SG/SF slots are pretty well stacked while your PF/C eligible positions are pretty light.

I would look for an Andray Blatche or Marc Gasol before Bargnani and Barring that I take Ty Thomas. Ryan Gomes doesn't help you as much because he and Al Jefferson are playing the same night.

I think the thing in Head to Head versus roto is that you have to make every roster spot meaningful (not as many reach players), so I would look for the guys who are starting in committed rotations over guys who have potential upside. Not too many rookies are amazing their first year and they tend to be more turnover prone than their veteran comparables. People are picking up on Blatche, but he is still available in some leagues.

This is one of my teams:

PG
Andre Miller
Baron Davis
Steve Blake
Derrick Rose

SG
Joe Johnson
McGrady
Mobley

SF
Artest
Gomes
W.Chandler

PF
Garnett
Gomes

C
D. Howard
Horford
B. Lopez

I initially had Bayless, Duhon, Jeff Green but dropped them for Blake, Mobley and B.Lopez, since I didn't really want them in the first place, but the draft went haywire a few times giving me the wrong guys. Oh Well Stuff Happens LOL

It's a 10 Team, Head to Head League with Stats: PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLKS, FG%, FT%, 3PM

The Free Agents are pretty much the same as Elite has, especially with a 10 Team League it leaves alot of good options open as the season progresses, depending on the usual Who's HOT, Who's NOT, etc.

As far as Gomes is concerned he can fill the stat sheet on any given nite, he shoots FG 46%, FT 83%, Rebs and can shoot the 3 pretty good too, something that Chandler can hopefully provide as well given the minutes.

I'm obviously STACKED at PG and not so stacked at SG........ Who are some players i should target? who should i put on the block? Kidd? What stats do you guys think i need to aquire.. Should I tank FG%?? I'm kind of lost at this point in terms of strategy.. I'm tempted to let a week or 2 go by and live with this team see how I look.. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!
