Need some advice

[MakeMeSomeFoodHo]

Hey guys, this is my first post, I appreciate any feedback.

I really like my team, but I could use some help in assists and rebounds. I recently dropped Travis Outlaw and picked up Francisco Garcia. The 2 guys on my team Id be willing to drop are Darko and Anthony Parker. Below is my current team

Nash
Camby
Durant
Kevin Martin
Andrea Bargnani
Rudy Gay
Darko
Yi
Ronnie Brewer
Francisco Garcia
Mike James
Anthony Parker
Barbosa

Should I take a look at Jason Maxiell and Kyle Lowry, or are there other guys I should be looking at. Or shoudl I just dtand pat for now. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance

What are some of the players available on your Waiver wire? How many teams are in your league? I wouldn't make a move for Lowry with the PG situation in Memphis. Maxiell is a decent option, I suppose, but 5rpg won't help your rebounding situation too much. He's only had 23mpg so far this year, and although i think that'll be closer to 25-30 by the end of the year, still not a huge fantasy impact for anything but blocks...where he might end up averaging 2bpg. Do you have any other options?

do you think Im better off trying to make a trade. I have alot of scorers so I could give one up?

[benJAMin]

If you're not worried about scoring, then I guess a quick fix might be Steve Blake and Chuck Hayes for dimes and boards. The concerns I have about your team are the large number of guys who are often on waivers (Darko, Yi, Ronnie Brewer, Francisco Garcia, Mike James, Anthony Parker) and the fact that Camby is your only strong big man.

I picked up most of those guys on waivers. Im going to trade fo another big man. I have plenty of scoring. I also dropped James and picked up Foye. I think its worth the sacrifice until foye comes back. Brewer is going to be a stud, thats why I drafted him and I took Yi with my last pick. Im going to have to trade for a big man, that my biggest concern

I can't believe Childress is available. I'd pick him up.

[LakersFO]

Welcome to the ISH fantasy basketball forum

Frye has been speculated to be the blazers starting center. He is a good stash-wait-and -see candidate for center help.

Blake was officially appointed starting fg over JJack.

Maxiell with give you blks from the forward position to supplement your centers.

Drop from your strength, one of your specialist scorers.

Come back everytime.

[vood002]

Keep an eye on Jason Williams...this guy can really produce when he is healthy and has minutes, and its looking like he's healthy and has minutes.

[spikeavenel]

Ditto on Childress

[MakeMeSomeFoodHo]

First of all, Id like to thank everyone fo rtheir feedback.

CHidlress was taken when I woke up this morning. I grabbed randy foye and dropped mike james. I think its worth the sacrifice...he is due back in 2 more weeks, correct? And I also dropped anthony parker and grabbed chuck hayes.
