I had to cringe and hold my hand over my mouth to let D-Rose pass at $26 and CP3 pass at $34, but I stuck with my plan and landed both James and Durant with money to spare. I think there was only one other guy of the nine owners at the auction who really understood how shallow a 9 team league with 10-man starting rosters was going to be, and he ended up pairing Harden and Curry in his backcourt.
So here's my team:
G G.Dragic $6
G K.Martin $1
G W.Matthews $1
G T.Evans $1
F K.Durant $59
F L.James $57
F K.Korver $1
F T.Harris $1
C D.Cousins $20
C S.Hawes $1
Bench: J.Nelson, S.Marion, S.Dalembert, M.Carter-Williams, J.Butler, M.Thornton
We have weekly transactions, so I'll rotate my guards a lot based on who has the 4 or 5 game weeks. Obviously, there will be less rotation in my front court, but I got the type of solid $1 players who you'd pretty much expect to be overlooked in a league this shallow. I didn't expect to be able to afford a potential best like Boogie Cousins after buying LBJ and KD, and maybe I would have been better served to spread that $ around, but after I got KD and LBJ for under $120, I did want to make sure that my one other splurge would be on a double-double machine who was C-eligible, and I ended up with a guy who could easily be 20-10 with great STL as well. I may be a bit shy on blocks. I picked up a lot of assists in the reserve draft, but with LBJ and KD pitching in 13-14/night between the two of them, I think I can afford to regularly run out lineups with three SGs. What do you guys think?
