Fantasy Basketball Newbie Help Please?

[JackD]

Hi, Im more of a football fantasy guy but this year I entered a 12-man league with 50 dollar buy-in for fantasy basketball. I watch alot of nba but fantasy basketball is still confusing for me as it's my first year playing. I would like some help in getting some centers into my lineup but i would like some advice on what to do

My lineup:
D. Rose
B. Roy
Lebron
Rudy Gay
A. Affalo
Louis Williams
Lamar Odom
Chuck hayes
Stephen jackson
J.J. hickson
B. jennings
E. Turner
D. Favors

As you can see, i only have 2 centers, with hayes likely to be dropped and hickson putting up points and no rebounds. Who should i trade away for a good rebounding center? i was thinking B roy for Noah on Chi. but Broy was my second pick. Which centers should i target?

I personally would trade LeBron...think about it - he is now playing with Wade and Bosh. His numbers are for sure to go down. The other night he grabbed ZERO rebounds. Not cool for fantasy.

You should keep Hickson.

Hayes needs to go for sure. Affalo, Jackson, Williams and James can all be used as trade bait. And having 2 rookies is a big risk.

Look for guys like K Love, Horford, Griffin, Brand, Hibbert. Take a look at some less known like wilson chandler and Ibaka. You might be able to steal David Lee away from someone. If you can get Noah take him...he is leading the league in rebounds right now.
