opinion on my cavs team

[Power And Proud]

i've just started year 2 of my cavs dynasty.

here's my team:
c- ilgauskas
pf- gooden
sf- lebron
sg- stephen jackson
pg- mcinnis

bench
varejao
pavlovic
snow
luke jackson
dalembert
diop
traylor

ir
newble

in the offseason i signed dalembert and korver, traded wagner, welsh and korver to indy for jackson. i resigned ilgauskas for 2 year, $12 million, mcinnis for 3 years, $12 million, and diop for 735k.

what do you guys think?

Hmmm, just my $.02:

I'm assuming you would run most plays with LeBron, you can cause defensive shifts by calling isolation or driving to the lane, freeing up your guards for open 3 pointers. McInnis is not the greatest shooter for even a forward, much less PG. Snow, same type of PG. Stephen Jackson is a perfect, however.

Trade your slasher PGs for shooter PGs and let LeBron or Z go to work and kick out if doubled. It worked great for Jordan (Hodges, Paxson), works great for Wade (Jones, Jones).

Houston has a similar star player setup with Yao & McGrady. But Houston surrounded them with decent shooters (barry, wesley, james, ward, padgett) and they've been much more successful than Cleveland. Once they gel a little bit, that team will be one to watch next year.

I think maes summed it up well

Thanks guys, but I've since moved Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Stephen Jackson and DeSagana Diop onto Memphis for Pau Gasol and their second round selection, Terence Tyler. I then signed Lee Nailon for one year $807k, and he will start at SF.

Gasol had a great debut for me with 23 points and 13 rebounds (6 points and 4 boards up on his season averages). LeBron was dominate with 30 points, 3 boards and 12 assists, not to mention 8 steals.

you could always deal Gooden for a SG/SF to replace S. Jackson, start Dalembert at C, Gasol at PF

[Power And Proud]

Nah, Gooden has been real good for me. Gasol has been a beast since I made that trade, his season averages are up to 20/10 and has had games of 38 points and 18 rebounds. LeBron finally has his man!

Wagner, Welsh and Korver for Jackson is a big trade but worth it

[Power And Proud]

Wagner, Welsch and Korver suck in Live. Besides I moved Jax to Memphis in a mulitplayer deal for Gasol, who was traded 2 weeks later in a deal for Kwame Brown.
