Hey everyone, thought I would explain the rationale for my fantasy draft team. I'm the Magic and am up 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs against the Hawks and finished my regular season 65-17.

PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Jason Richardson
SF: Dorrell Wright
PF: Blake Griffin
C: Chris Bosh

Bench
SF: Chase Budinger
SG: JJ Redick
C: Channing Frye
PF: Taj Gibson
PG: Earl Boykins
PF: Luke Harangody
SF: Rasaul Butler

I decided to trade my third round selection, LaMarcus Aldridge, and my next two first round picks (2011 and 2012) for Blake Griffin and a second rounder in 2012 to create my Big 3 of Rose, Griffin and Bosh. I figured I would go for the known commodities of Rose and Griffin as the foundation of my franchise as opposed to making 2 first round picks in the coming years. The rest of my team, I wanted to be able to spread the floor. With Rose's ability to drive and kick, my team has been deadly. J-Rich is a fantastic 2-guard option, and shoots well off of a double screen, and when he is not on, JJ is in to carry the load from the perimeter. I think Richardson was a steal in the 4th round, and his contract situation is pretty good, as he is locked up for the next three years (I think). I won the MVP with D-Rose, averaging 27.9 and 12.8 assists, and am looking forward to bringing a title to the Amway Center. Contract situation with Rose may be a bit dangerous, but I will release who I have to in order to keep him around for a long time.

Just my two cents. I love reading about other people's philosophies and teams, so great thread. In my opinion, the fantasy draft keeps everything fresh and interesting.
