Since then, I traded away Marion for Yao and Rashard Lewis(think it was a good deal?) and dropped Jones, Foster, and Bowen for Hakim Warrick and Antoine Wright.

Since it's H2H, I'm looking to build on strengths(FT%,OREB,REB,AST are my strongest) and looking to add more in the scoring categories(PTS,FGM,FTM) which would make me dominant in 7/13 cats.
I'm currently posting a dismal 6-20 record, but i attribute most of that to injuries(miller,simmons,brezec,roy all out)

top players on waivers include e.jones,d.milicic,m.dunleavy, and c.arroyo, think any of those players are worth a roster spot?
also wondering what you thought about jason richardson.. i think i can get him cheap, maybe in a deal like odom/warrick for j.rich/ford..

The Assessment

I do apologize for the delay on this one. Anyway, since it's a head to head league, which means there's no set limit to games, I think the Lewis and Yao deal for Marion was a good one. You're giving up a lot in Marion, but to get two potentially top 20 fantasy guys is a big lift, especially one who covers the center position.

It looks like there are 12 teams in this league.

Regarding the waiver wire, I don't know why you'd even keep Brezec. I must admit, I'm not as smart about OR, and I completely scoff at the whole 3P%, so I'm not sure how much help I can give you there. Maybe someone can chime in for those. Anyway, I'd take a chance on Darko and drop Brezec. That's just me though. With how well Okafor's playing and because Brezec's hurt anyway.

POINTS – This isn't going to be your strongest stat cat, but trading for Yao will help.

REBOUNDS – You're looking very solid here. Plus, you have injured players who should help a little here when they heal or play better.

ASSISTS – Kidd, Knight and Ridnour make you very competitive here. Plus, you have guys like Odom who can help from other positions.

STEALS – Losing Marion hurts a little, but with Kidd and Knight as well as some others who can help, you should be OK here.

THREES – It looks like some of your three point specialists haven't worked out (like Eddie Jones), so picking up Rashard Lewis via trade should be a very nice help. Also, you should be able to find some threes off the wire over the course of the year.

BLOCKS – You're kind of hurting for blocks. Yao Ming may be your best shot blocker.

FG% and FT% - Solid on both fronts.

TOs – Again, nothing to really worry about here.

Conclusion

I actually really like your team. You have a solid core, which is key in deep drafts.

I think you're right. A lot of your early woes are due to some key injuries. Be patient. I think your trade will help you since it's a H2H. H2H favors 1 for 2 deals more than rotisserie leagues.

Regarding Offensive rebounds, some guys you might consider to help with this who come a little cheaper are David Lee (3.8 orpg), Erick Dampier (4.1 orpg), Udonis Haslem (3.7 orpg), Jeff Foster (2.8 orpg), Josh Childress (2.7 orpg).

Regarding 3 point %, consider these guys for cheap:

Brent Barry 62.5% (3.2 attempts)
Kyle Korver 57.1% (3.1 attempts)
Darrell Armstrong 56% (2.1 attempts)
Luther Head 48.1% (4.1 attempts)
Danny Granger 44.7% (3.8 attempts)
Mickael Pietrus 43.6% (3.6 attempts)

Remember, the more attempts the more it weighs for the category.

Hope all that helps. Good luck!
