Lineup Advice/Upgrades on Young Magic

[GPBlueStreak]

Recently got to the 1-seed in RTTP.

I've been running:

Young Magic/Gold LeBron
Saph 85-86 MJ/Ruby Frobe
Diamond KD/Saph PG
Saph Hakeem/Saph Russell
Saph Wilt/Saph Admiral

I used to love Magic, but recently he hasn't been as effective finishing around the hoop. Earlier he seemingly couldn't miss layups despite contact/contests. Would Onyx Oscar be worth the upgrade on Magic? Ruby Harden? I have 140k MT right now, would have around 250k if I sold Magic.

Diamond KD is also maddeningly inconsistent. I went like 1-10 from deep with him over two recent games. Would it be better to try to someone else out at SF with the MT?

Generally speaking, I only take three's when someone is wide open and more focus on attacking the hoop and post work.

If you want someone to attack the hoop, get Sapphire Wilkens. He's cheap and he's a beast at dunking an finishing at the rim.

Put Durant on the bench like I did. He's just not consistent enough to start.

Onyx Oscar is the best all-around PG in the game, I'd highly recommend him. Great finisher, 85 3-point rating, lockdown defender, tenacious rebounder. The only other contender for best PG in the game is Magic, so if you're unhappy with him I'd make the switch. Oscar seems to average at least 10P/6A/4R/1S for me.

You need to get Diamond KD an easy bucket or two, he's much more consistent that way.

You could also start PG13 at the 2 and LeBron at the 3, probably the better duo (depending on your style). Pair KD with MJ or Frobe and your starting lineup locks everything down, while your bench is fast and plays in a different manner.

Or you go with a small-ball lineup, with LeBron and KD at the 3/4, depending on what badges you put on them. Works better against the frequent zones and other small ball lineups, though I guess you put Russell at the 4 against those.
