Played a few games, flipped some cards in the AH. Thoughts on my team pleaes?

[kb_Bakes]

I tend to play mostly against the CPU because I find the online community to be filled with cheesers. Anyways, I was hoping to get some feedback on my current roster and ideas on upgrades. Please note that I'm not really too hardcore with it so onyx and ruby players will be out of my price range.

PG: Rondo/Lowry
SG: Kobe/Wade
SF: Melo/Gay
PF: Millsap/Ibaka
C: M. Gasol/Drummon
Reserves: D Williams/Pierce/ZBo

I know most of the players I have are relatively cheap but as I said, feedback on upgrades would be welcomed. Thanks!

Chris paul for pg.
Byron scott for sg.
Paul george for sf or sg.
Dirk can get you a lot of mt points with post moves if you havent tried him.
Rudy gobert and Alexis ajinca can be good reserves to get contracts cheap if you are looking for that.

CP3 for PG over Rondo/Lowry, no question. Cheap upgrade and he is much better than who you have now. Howard is good for ceter.

Save up for gold LeBron or Ruby Kobe.

Appreciate the ideas. I just sniped a Melo to net around 3.5k profit so that'll go towards CP3. I picked up Blake Griffin and Bosh for about 750 less than the next closest Buy It Now but wasn't too impressed with them. Once I get a solid core of gold players, then I'll start saving up and paying attention to the auction house. Again, thanks for the suggestions!

Have you played all the way through domination? Those games will usually net you a few gold players with a shot at potentially getting Durant or LeBron.

I highly recommend getting boozer, the silver version is only like 1-2k at this point. Obviously the post fade is automatic. More surprising, for whatever reason he reallly gets up to get boards. He finishes strong in the paint and runs the floor pretty well.

Best pf by far considering price vs what he can do afaik. Obviously i've only tried a limited amount of pf's.

If you want a relatively cheap gold, terry cummings is probably my favorite as a good all around, athletic pf.

D-Will and Drummond are probably the best real cheap gold players in the game. Monta is also great.

Best way to improve your team is to get Ruby players. Nash, Cheeks, Miller, Teague, Horford, Millsap or Gasol are sold for around 4k sometimes! Just check the auctions. For 5-10k you can get Havlicek, Rodman, Dirk or one of the KG cards.

Current lineup:

PG:CP3/Lowry
SG:Kobe/Wade
SF:Melo/PG13
PF:Griffin/A. Davis
C:Gasol/Bosh

My other 3 players are just some random silvers because of the contracts. I run those 2 units at about the same court time. I just got to the Grizzlies in domination and average about 740MT each game so I'm earning the player packs but haven't pulled a gold yet. Hoping for LeBron or KD when I arrive there. My play style has been up tempo and basically passing the ball around to find an open shooter. My post skills are pretty bad so the only time I score with big men are on fast breaks. Too many missed layups by them. I do plan on getting Dwight Howard soon so solidify the center position. That'll wipe out all my current currency. Who would be a better backup for Paul, Wall or Irving? Or, is there someone better out there in about the 5-7k price range?

Re: Played a few games, flipped some cards in the AH. Thoughts on my team pleaes?

Definitely need some good defenders, I prefer Lillard or CP3 at PG. Wade is my SG is playing flawlessly right now. Melo should be fine for now, once you can obviously LBJ. PF Ruby Bosh, Griffin, or LA is my choice. All 3 long, athletic, and can play D and rebound. C, I use Mutumbo and he is like 5K so I would recommend him since he his a 99 rebounder and 99 block and really big lol. Onyx Monta is cheap and really good, easy release and like 97 speed and 98 quickness.

Onyx D-Will is a beast. I already saw him for around 5k in the auction house.

He was my starter PG and CP3 his backup before the dimer packs came out, now he is just my 4th choice on PG but I still play him sometimes.

Get Dirk for Domination and all you have to do is wait for him to post up, pass him the ball and postfade instantly.
you easily get 800 points like this

Just got Westbrook and Dirk each for about 2k less than the next lowest Buy It Now. Blake was just all around terrible for me. I know he's known more for his offense than defense but even his offense was bad. I'll have to work on my post move skills now since I've been hearing a lot that the post fade is insanely good.

Blake has been great for me. Scores, defends, and rebounds really well. Larry Johnson is fun to use at pf as well.

I did like LJ when he was running with the Hornets back in the 90s. Maybe I'll have to give him a try. Blake just didn't do much for me. If it wasn't a dunk, he would miss everything.
