I love porter + kareem (I dominated the odl with that one if you remember).  I don't love cp3 + kareem.  cp3 is a fine pg, but his offensive efficiency is no where close to Porter's... and simultaneously takes away from Kareem.

not sure why cp3 will take away from kareem....his ast% is def gonna help and hes got enough low usage guys on the team for both kareem and cp3 to get their shots...not to mention he probably needed a 3rd guy that gets to line besides kareem and harden

i do see what youre saying though....you did it last odl with the mailman...nash was his #2 option and you still had plenty of offense....i just think in this league youre gonna need more offense and with porter his offense seemed kinda tame

I know exactly what you mean. I guess my team really hinges on whether I get the kind of offensive board production from Horace and my PF platoon. On the flip side I do have Harden, but I planned on having him play off the bench, it makes more sense.

shaq & chuck h8 the fact you drafted allen AND nash.  Either/or would have been fine, but man, you took away some serious production from sir-shaq.  Though both ray & nash have tier 4 seasons... I'm thinking you're going to want to use tier 3 ones.  That's 6+4+4+4 = 18 right there.  And lord help you if you use ray's tier 2 season!

Using Allen's tier 4 season. At 16.5 Usage points. I Wanted Terry Porter at point but he got taken.. Considered Mookie but his AST% and EFG% couldn't match Nash. (Though the D probably would have helped me a ton)

The Nash I am using is very low T3.. 22.4% and the Allen I picked hits as many 3's as the T3 one.. just less AST (Which I don't need) and less FTA... Thought that was worth it to keep Chuck and Shaq as king on the squad. I think it should work.

I bumped my squad in the comments thread ash

you did it last odl with the mailman...nash was his #2 option and you still had plenty of offense.

Nash is 60% efg%
cp3 is 52%

I'll take more of Nash's elite fg%... I wouldn't want more of mediocrity (which is why I really didn't want to pick Magic here and regret doing it).

not sure why you like mutombo over chandler... mutombo's best rebounding season has the same d as Chandler and isn't as flexible (can play chandler at PF).

The finger wag, duh.

After comparing the two head to head, it may be a wash. Chandler has flexibility, efg, OReb; Mutombo has more minutes, usage, and DReb.
