I don;t think I can compete in threes ... I am already behind a lot in that category. But I think I can still win! As I am only behind first by 1 point right now with less games... I think the best aI can do in threes is second or third worst - one or two points.... what do you think? thanks,

Prime candidates to get you good value without giving up too much are: Andres Nocioni Mo Williams Shane Battier (maybe, depends on how smart owner is) But you get the idea. Battier was dropped in my league at one point, but he really is a roto stud, so maybe you can haggle your way into getting him in a package for a bench player or two.

Caron is having a great year with his rebounds, steals and outstanding percentages. However, I do see that you might need or want more threes, so I would recommend making for another 3PT shooter, however you can work it in (guys like Paul, Miller, Josh Smith, Butler, and your other wings don't shoot threes like superstars to). Is this a daily or a weekly league, cause it would determine what I would do. Could you play Jefferson or Boozer at center? That could open up your rotation by getting a big man like Villanueva or Okur who shoots threes, or trade away either Granger or Prince for a 3PTM specialist like Korver, especially with AI gone, who hopefully will get his shots for the rest of the year. Luckily, 3PTM seems like a category that is pretty easy to get help in if you really need it, as you can do lots of things, flexibility wise in your roster to make it happen. Good luck with it though. I too wouldn’t make too drastic of moves. Caron is having a great year with his rebounds, steals and outstanding percentages.

I assume he will startt nexrt game? Anyways... Here is my line-up In second in a eight cat (no to) eleven team league PG: Paul G: Miller SG: Redd SF: Butler F: Josh Smith (hawks) PF: BOozer C: Ming C: Mourning Util: Felton Util: Jefferson (Celtics) Bench: Kristic (always play him right now) Bench: Granger Bench: Prince As you can see I need to trade depth for superstar - but no one will trade with me... What should I look for I was offered artest and Petrus for my Butler and KRistic but I think that is not a good move for me... I am essentially throwing threes (I am either first or second or third in every other category...) who should I target... steals is close so getting arttest is appealing to me... maybe offer kristic and granger for artest? I don;t know... I am a miller owner… I assume he will startt nexrt game?

Anyways…

Here is my line-up
In second in a eight cat (no to) eleven team league

PG: Paul
G: Miller
SG: Redd
SF: Butler
F: Josh Smith (hawks)
PF: BOozer
C: Ming
C: Mourning
Util: Felton
Util: Jefferson (Celtics)

Bench: Kristic (always play him right now)
Bench: Granger
Bench: Prince

As you can see I need to trade depth for superstar - but no one will trade with me…

What should I look for

I was offered artest and Petrus for my Butler and KRistic but I think that is not a good move for me…

I am essentially throwing threes (I am either first or second or third in every other category…) who should I target… steals is close so getting arttest is appealing to me… maybe offer kristic and granger for artest?

I don;t know…

He seems like a pretty even-keel guy but that can't help his motivation. Overall, as a Camby and Iguodala owner, I'm happy about the way the trade played out.

Head would be a fine replacement for Smith as long as McGrady's out, since he puts up at least 5 3s every game, but his long-term prognosis is shaky. I still think Smith has more upside, but if you really want to make a move, he's the one I'd go for. Not sure I’d make a move to drop Smith for any of those guys, IC.
