@TheOfficialGamersXBL what is this for a video game?

I have a fantasy basketball league for anyone wishing to join. We will draft as soon as we have 20 teams entered. This is a keepers league so all teams will be allowed to keep 5 players every year. 1 Guard, 1 Forward, 1 Guard Or Forward, 1 Center and 1 Role/Bench player each year on your team. Join quickly and lets begin anticipating a great season. Hopefully their will be one. If you have a yahoo! account come sign up.

League name: National Keeper League

League id: 4120

yeah 2k11... i cant find any good fantasy leagues so i just play the online 2k11

@YoooPatrick There is a reason why D-Ho is ranked the way he is. He is a special talent that needs to be built around. If you're currently sitting at 2nd in the league it might be hard to put together the necessary pieces to acquire Howard and stay on top.

Unless you're in a keepers league, I'd resist temptation and look for cheaper ways to boost your FG%/boards/blocks

@fantasycouch thx :)

I'm kinda super high on Dwight Howard now..well i wanted to get him since the beginning of the season but I was unable to draft him. Do you think I should trade for him? because I'm rank #2 ...and at the sametime I'm thinking if i trade for him i'll break myself alot.

[fantasycouch]

@YoooPatrick great trade! should pay off for you

@fantasycouch I packaged OJ and Okafor for Tyreke Evans.

[fantasycouch]

@YoooPatrick See if you can package any combination of Okafor, OJ, Millsap or M Gasol, Mo Williams and definitely T-Mac (while he's actually on the court). I would target either an elite:

PG to support DRose and Harris. See if you can pry away Nash, Felton, Kidd or Tyreke Evans

OR

a SG like Jason Richardson or Joe Johnson

Try giving the theory with your trade partner the idea of more for less; strengthening their overall team while losing a little but gaining more overall value

[YoooPatrick]

Standard 8 man H2H League

Would you do any changes with this team ? I have DRose, Dorrell Wright, Devin Harris, KD, Paul Millsap, Josh Smith, Kevin LOve, Okafor, MGasol, OJMayo,Mo Will, TMac, Melo, VC
