Is Your Pick Two Team Better than When it Started?

[Fafnir]

PG's Devin Harris V Devin Harris
SG's Courtney Lee V Thabo Sefelosha- I think Thabo is the better player on a team that limits him offensively. I know he's the better defender, but probably a more limited offensive player
SF's Chris Douglas Roberts V Omri Casspi- Omri has been one of the best rookies in the league this year. Omri all the way.
PF's Yi/Kris Humphries V Nene - Nene in a Brazilian landslide
C's Brook Lopez V Brook Lopez

I think my team is better.

Congrats you improved the worst team in the NBA 

[Who]

I'd say yes, although there's still work to be done:

C: Oden
PF: Brand / Charlie V.
SF: Durant
SG: TBD
PG: Westbrook

Having a couple of great big men would do Durant a world of good.  Of course, it's a real risk, but I like the way this team is shaping up.

I think the trio of Kevin Durant + Greg Oden + Russell Westbrook is either the best, or one of the best (top three), out of all of teams. Fantastic combinations there.

I hate the current power forwards though. That team badly needs more quickness to boost their transition game (defensively + offensively) and their overall defensive effectiveness. It would be nice to have a shooter at the four but the defense is more important.

Change that and bring in a stopper to play alongside Durant and you have a Championship caliber team (for the next decade!).

Your Fake Celtics. Not sure how I feel.

Yes you do.


Real Celtics are better because how do you replace the missing talent of Pierce and Perk?

True. Its a harder game if you have more than 2 good players to start with.

PF's Yi/Kris Humphries V Nene - Nene in a Brazilian landslide
C's Brook Lopez V Brook Lopez

I think my team is better.

The defensive potential (Thabo + Nene + solid defenders) and rebounding potential (Casspi + Thabo) is very impressive. I think they'd be a slightly below par offensive team though. Not much creativity/scoring on the wings and nobody to help Devin Harris out on the perimeter. A 46 to 51 team I reckon. Huge improvement.

[Evantime34]

My team is absolutely better. The previous Wizards were going nowhere. They had little cap space and no chance of winning this year.
My new team also has little cap space but if we are healthy we have to be on the list of elite teams. If people get hurt and we don't play well then we are in the same position the actual Wizards are in now, no cap space and looking for a high pick to help out.

So to recap:
Old Ceiling: 8 seed if they got really really hot.
New Ceiling: championship

Old floor: no cap space hoping to win the John Wall sweepstakes.
New floor: no cap space hoping to win the John Wall sweepstakes.

Even if you don't like my team due to its injury concerns you have to concede that we are better off than when we started.
If you are concerned with our salaries know that everyone except Nash will be off the books after the 2011 season.

Gortat

vs.

Fisher
Kobe
Artest
Gasol
Bynum


Have to say before because of Bynum.  I picked to far down to match the talent and size of a Bynum.

The actual Lakers team has more potential but they're under-performing relative to their talent all season long.

Judging against potential, I think the actual Lakers win out.

Judging against performance, I think your creation wins out because of Gortat's superior defense + rebounding and Turkoglu's added offensive play.

Oh wait, Lamar Odom is a big swing factor. That will likely keep the actual Lakers in the lead. Have to wait for that starting PG + bench ... could be close.

[Roy Hobbs]

Well, I'll say that Atlanta is a little worse.  If anybody wants to take over this team, let me know:

C: Chris Andersen
PF: Jason Thompson
SF: Josh Smith
SG: Joe Johnson
PG: Gilbert Arenas

[Who]

Here's my team, the Brooklyn - least picks in the league! - Draft Dodgers.

PF Michael Beasley with a different hair cut
SF Quentin Richardson replacement to be named. (We hope not by Quentin Richardson...)
C Al Horford
SG Dwayne Wade in glasses
PG Jonny Flynn

I've already admitted I've felt like I was playing with house money. But will be fun to see if I still manage to lose my shirt.

Dwyane Wade and Al Horford is a very nice start. Add a legit second scoring option behind Wade and you have a core (trio) that you could build a Championship contender around.

Not a fan of Beasley or Flynn. Maybe try packaging them for the second scorer.

[KCattheStripe]

Ths sixers squad cant get any reviews?

A tangled mix of players whose ages and abilites don't mesh well. No real post threat and no defensive stopper.

Easily.

No Celtics review?

[Who]

Scrappy potential low playoff team or wosre, you decide?

cats:

PG: conley
SG: jackson
SF: wallace
PF: murphy
C: haywood

I prefer the actual Bobcats. I think there's a large defensive downgrade on that team without much offensive improvement. Mainly at the four with the loss of Diaw and also at the point with the loss of Felton.

Chandler and Haywood is a tough one to call given Chandler's injuries + so-so play this season.

[Lucky17]

No Celtics review?

I think we're waiting to see your next pick. I am.

Although J-Rich, R-Jeff and TBD is probably < Pierce, Ray, Perkins, mainly due to the dropoff at C.

And I don't see how you could have improved the starting five much.
