    Also look out for Young in Philly. He should be able to hold down the SF spot and can hold his own quite well on defense. Lou Williams should have a breakout year and I can see him passing Miller on the depth chart if he impresses enough off the bench. He gives the 76ers an outside threat they currently lack.

    What does that even mean? Anyways, they are very diffrent players, Howard has yet to develop a great offensive game, but if he does watch out.

    Are your guys's leagues already drafted in everything, I might be interested?

    That's not true. Howard makes Orlando a Playoff team. That's it. They have virtually no chance of winning the East, let alone the Finals. Houston with a healthy Yao means they're one of the teams that can actually take it all. Making the Playoffs with no chance of winning just ruins your season. You'd be better off in the lottery getting some help because as constructed today Orlando will never win.

    Your FT% with Howard, Parker and McGrady looks really crap.

    No I don't. It's a live draft so I don't see the point.

    I could be wrong, but I think he's looking at the team minus those players. Without Dwight, Orlando are probably the worst team in the east. Last season without Yao for the most part, in an extremely competitive Western Conference, Houston still made the play-offs.

    Looking forward to tonight to see if King James can spoil Boston's party, and to see Oden finally make his league debut. Cant wait to see him go toe-to-toe with Bynum.

    There isnt really anything LBJ can do to spoil Boston's party, they won, he didn't.


    As for the H2H League, when is the live draft?
