1. i'd give it about a B+ Youre weak in the Center area, but you make up for it w/ Lebron and J-Kidd. L,James and J-O Neal. When possible trade J-kidd, he wont give you 82 games, and isnt the best shooter.
2. It's a decent team, but you haven't gotten it focused. What cats are you planning to compete in? I tend to pick a given player, and then build strength-on-strength in, say, 5, maybe 6, categories; write off a coupla cats, and just stay competitive in the rest. You can't go wrong with LBJ; but his pluses are even more exagerrated in 3's Pts Reb's Ast's and Steals. His tragic flaw, TO's. Guess what Kidd, Raja, and (for centers) Raef and Okie are good at? And (allow musical jingle here) "one of these things is not like the others" tradin' time for J O'Neal. Jermaine's a heck of a player if he stays healthy, and somebody who doesn't give a rat's patootie about 3's and steals, but knows his potential, oughtta give ya Chauncy, J.R., J.J., Rashard, Antawn, or the like for him. The ideal thing would be Jermaine for Rasheed (to play center), and Darko for an Eddie Jones type. Without the focus, IMHO, you'll end up in the middle of the pack. -Regards!
3. I checked out your draft too, and I gotta say, you got some steals. Jason Kidd is a steal in the third even though he'll get less playing time. Paul Pierce slid a lot as well. You should be good for assists with Kidd, James and possibly Felton contributing at some point. You're not that deep in points, but James and Jermaine O'Neal (if he stays healthy) should help solve that to some degree. You're not especially strong in boards. Jermaine has to stay healthy. That being said, you do have a lot of guards and wings who will help in that department. You have potential in steals, but with Kidd playing less minutes, Lebron struggling, Hughes injury prone and Felton yet to find his groove, you might look to the wire to nab more steals. If Jermaine goes down, you'll find yourself hurting in blocks unless Darko decides to block shots like he did in the FIBA games and during small stretches of last season. You're really hurting for threes. You need Bell to come back and be productive. Adding Reef was a good idea. He'll start at center with Brad Miller hurt. Drop Buckner, Jumaine Jones and Lafrentz. They won't give you much. Check out the link below, too. It's a pretty cool fantasy basketball site that's helped me a bit.
