At this point I'm really looking forward to being able to use...

- Carmelo Anthony (the season he finally put it all together, although still less efficient than I'd like)

- Kevin Durant (similar to Anthony but better efficiency and I suspect more 3s)

- David Lee (I just love this guy...he'll be expensive this time around, though, if his D rating holds up)

- Anthony Morrow (could be a fun part of the right 3-guard rotation)

- Joakim Noah (the next Tyson Chandler?)

- Lebron James (another amazing season...I hope to get this guy in a progressive league someday)

- Gerald Wallace (it'll be interesting to see what positions he can slot in at)

I'm stoked about Lebron. I wasn't sure when I drafted him, but I had hoped I'd get another 2 years out of him in the UPL... and it looks like it's going to happen. 08-09 just happened to be amazing, and 09-10 looks to be as good if not better (more minutes, too!).

I was thinking of this very topic the other day, brad.

Booger Gibson looks like a nice play in a $42 million league. Insane efg% and mid-minutes without huge usage. Mike Miller is another one that catches my eye (low minute, high efg% guy).

Billups is having a good year, too. Lawson will be a nice bench guy.

Durant will be insane.

Billups is actually having a career year in terms of ppg. Depending on his D rating, this could be one of his better seasons. Some warts to his game, but easy to cover in the sim. Maybe pair him in a backcourt with Fat Lever?

I'd love it if they didn't give him high d (cheaper, what does d really matter in lower cap leagues). I'll be ****** if he isn't 100% at SG though, like last year, when he spends a lot of time every game at the 2...

i cant wait for durant.....he is going to dominate from the line....better rebounding too...he really shouldnt have sg eligibility anymore though

and of course zach randolph is gonna have a legit draft worthy year with all those off reb and over 50% from the field

Yeah... Durant is going to be very, very nice. We're talking about (right now) 11.9 fta/48min (in today's slow-*** game). That's almost at Shaq 00-01 season level (best in sim). Except we're talking about making it at 88-89% of the time instead of building a brick house even the third little piggy would be jealous of. And then the rest of it is going to be good, too (61% ts%, 51% efg%, efficient, high usage, gives you some boards, too), but the free throw thing has me most excited. Pair him with a Jerry West, a Charles Barkley or a Karl Malone and watch as you plummel your opponents scrubs, as their starters are sitting on the bench in foul trouble.
