seems to me i'm not very good in any one category so i don't have any strength to trade from (except steals i guess) and i'm weak as hell in centers. i'd kinda like to ride it out for a couple of weeks and see what happens but is there some sort of strategy for getting out of a mess like this or should i just try to roll with the even-ness and take my chances?
I've had worse teams. Might make sense to see how they play for a bit. Is Dalembert ever going to be healthy and useful? Do others have an excess of mid-round centers? You didn't get them. Like the old saying, "They say there's a girl for every guy, so someone else must have two".
10-teamer team needs a lot of help. You are middle of the road in every category except stls. Your assesment is correct. Send out some lopsided trades moving either Dirk or GWallace, where you are asking for alot. Somebody will bite on those guys.
im not a expert, but i do see a couple problems. your rebounds are a lil thin with only LA being ur best big man. dalem is hurt right now right? and well LA's first game gave u only a couple rebounds thats a little concerning considering how bad blazers shot opening night.u have alot of PF, u should switch them up for c's also u have alot of unknown guys, socla the rookie got benched pretty bad, stefjax's temper/suspensions kenyon's health ect... i'd grab some guys that are more cosistant and yeah, thin at C's
If trades don't work out, you might be able to steal Pryzbilla or Ratliff from waivers if they're not already gone. I'd use Dirk and a Stephen Jackson type to land a good big and pg, like a Boozer/Billups or Camby/Deron Williams combo, but that might be pretty wishful thinking and a little injury prone too. Maybe you could use Rondo as bait, because I'm hoping to see him come flying out of the gates with assists and such.
Getting a Boozer/Lee and Pryzbilla/biedrins type of players will help your team
A low profile trade that might be a big help is a trade for Kaman. His value is very low because of his play last season but w/ Brand out, he'll have plenty of touches.
The following are tradeble or can be dropped for the right player
11. (106) Luis Scola SF,PF
12. (115) Udonis Haslem PF
13. (126) Kenyon Martin PF
5. (46) Manu Ginobili SG
8. (75) Samuel Dalembert C
9. (86) Stephen Jackson SG,SF
