Well figures it happened again. My draft was at 6 PM PT today and I completely forgot. I ended up going to the market after work and have been on here since then while talking to one of my friends on the phone. I just realized it right now. LOL!

Well this is my team. This is the saddest team I have ever seen. Its even worse than my first team that I autodrafted. I dont even want to know who my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks were.



Starters
Chris Paul -
Jodie Meeks - Ugh Again
Jrue Holiday
Gerald Wallace - Ok, never had him on any team
Lamarcus Aldridge - Ok, never had him on any team
Tim Duncan - Ok, never had him on any team
Greg Monroe - Gladdy's Great Piston Hope
Chuck Hayes - Argh
Lamar Odom
Boris Diaw

Bench
Chase Budinger
Ryan Anderson - Ugh Again
Tyrus Thomas

[key2win]

Waivers not much help, but some worth a flyer. Best players on there are

Derrick Williams
Kemba Walker
DeJuan Blair
Ben Gordon
Tristan Thompson
Derrick Favors
Richard Hamilton

[gladdyontherise]

I'd get Gordon off of waivers, he'll be starting and is the best shooter the Pistons have.

Greg Monroe is a beast though

Not the greatest but it's not completely terrible.

You should be good in the PG position:

Chris Paul/Jrue Holiday

SG (your weakest position):
Jodie Meeks (sucks but he's starting ahead of Evans right now)

SF (All decent and hits a lot of categories, Diaw is starter for now):
Gerald Wallace/Odom/Diaw/Budinger

PF (way too many here):
Aldridge (should be heavily used and great this season)
Duncan (on the decline, might be an okay 2nd or 3rd PF)
Odom/Diaw
Tyrus Thomas (always inconsistent)
Ryan Anderson (was okay for stretches last season, less useful this year with Glen Davis in town, probably can dump him since you have tons of PF anyway)
Hayes (mostly useless this year)

C (pretty weak here too, unless Aldridge's gonna qualify as a C):

Monroe
Diaw
Hayes (you need a third Center)
Duncan (Not sure if he qualifies as Center in your league)

-----------------------------------------

I would definitely pick up Ben Gordon for one of your PF's, and then try to pull of a trade upgrade your Center & SG Position. I would try to deal Duncan, because he still has name recognition, but his numbers has not been that great last year, so you might be able to trade with a manager who still likes Duncan's name.

It'll also be nice to grab swing a deal to get a third PG to booster your Ast, if you have Jrue Holiday's assists isn't the greatest, Odom & Diaw will help, but if you get a third PG in there, you're pretty strong in the Ast category.

Monroe and Aldridge should be a pretty good front court/pivot

People that can be dumped for better FA's is probably Hayes and Ryan Anderson

[key2win]

Actually I have like 5 players that qualify as Center: Lamarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan, Greg Monroe, Chuck Hayes, & Tyrus Thomas.

Chuck Hayes is ranked really high too so I am not going to cut him. He should gave a good year starting in Sacramento. I am in trading mode right now. CP3 and Aldridge can be had too. I will update this thread as moves are made. Wish me luck. LOL!

That's nice that Tyrus qualifies as center! Good luck in your league this year! My draft for one of my leagues is tonight!

[key2win]

I have 5 trades offered to other teams. LOL!

Trying to trade Aldridge and Chuck Hayes.

[key2win]

Ok made a few waiver wire moves.

Added
Ben Gordon
Richard Hamilton
Tristan Thompson

Waived
Jodie Meeks
Ryan Anderson
Tyrus Thomas

[ucffans]

I've decided on my next draft to allow my 5 year old daughter to pick my team. She can't do worse than I did last year!

[key2win]

Gladdy should laugh about this one, but my team in this league sucks so I need to do something. I would never trade for this guy, but he was on waivers. That makes 3 Pistons from last season's team that I have added this week. LOL!

Added
Charlie Villanueva

Waived
Tristan Thompson

[gladdyontherise]

[key2win]

Ok well I got 2 trades that got accepted, just in time for the season to start. I think I helped my team a lot and overall made it better. I am not looking at the rankings since Yahoo rankings are whack anyways.

Keep in mind that I dont really have a starting shooting guard and I would have gotten killed on points and 3 pointers before I did this trade. I would have done really good on rebounding and blocks, so I needed some balance.

Also I found out that Chuck Hayes is now a free agent so that is another loss to my team as of right now. I should have traded him in one of the trades below. LOL!


Trade #1

I traded
Lamarcus Aldridge - He had surgery on a heart condition and that is worrisome down the line
Gerald Wallace - I needed 3s on my team
Jrue Holiday - I had him last year and prefer not to again

I am getting
Kevin Martin - Houston's main scoring option good for 20+ points and 2+ three pointers per game
Kevin Garnett - Needed to get back a good power forward to replace the rebounds I will lose with Aldridge and Wallace
Danilo Gallinari - Again I am gambling that he will be the savior of both my crappy teams and have at least 18+ points and 2+ three pointers per game


Trade #2

I traded
Boris Diaw - I just read that he now weighs 300 lbs so he can start as center for the Bobcats

I am getting
Jameer Nelson - Replaces what I would have loss with Jrue Holiday, but provides more three pointers

[gladdyontherise]

Garnett will get injured lol

[key2win]

I would never trade for this guy since I am trying to get rid of him in my first league. But he was on waivers and I was at the bottom anyways.

I got
Hedo Turkoglu

I waived
Chuck Hayes

[key2win]

Mehmut Okur has been going fast in all leagues today, but I was able to get him in this league. I waived Chase Budinger for him. Geez almost two thirds of my original roster from the draft is gone now. LOL!

[key2win]

Okur is horrible. I got rid of him and got Chuck Hayes back on my team from waivers. At least Hayes is consistent and will average around 9 to 10 rebounds a game.

That Diaw for Jameer trade is looking horrible for me right now especially after Diaw's first 2 games. My team is not very good, but Jameer and Odom are both making my team even worse. LOL!

[key2win]

I made two changes. I got rid of Richard Hamilton and Charlie Villanueva and picked up Shawn Marion and Dajuan Blair.

[key2win]

Well taking another chance here since this team needs all the luck it can get. I waived Shawn Marion (who had a another horrible game tonight) and Chuck Hayes (he separated his shoulder tonight). I picked up Mario Chalmers and Marshon Brooks.

[key2win]

Got Thaddeus Young off waivers and dumped Dejuan Blair.

[whalechaser]

Seems like this team's having a rough go at it! So what does your team's roster look like right now?
