Looking for opinions on my Mavs 13' roster

[stamsammy]

pg- kyle lowry\roddy B
sg-O.J mayo\Jae Crowder
sf-josh smith\shawn marion
pf-Dirk Nowitzki\Elton Brand\shawn marion
c-Kendrick Perkins\Brendan Haywood

when the other team don't have 2 good bigs i go small:
lowry-mayo-marion-josh-dirk

I'm struggling with interior D and rebounds, but i have lowry-smith-perk or lowry-smith-marion as great defenders at all times and everyone rebounds well for his position at the 1-2-3 positions.

can i contened with no real center/defensive anchor ?

How did you get those players? Mavs have nothing to offer via trade

[8KB24]

Perkins with trade with Kaman. Josh Smith trough FA and Lowry trough trade with Collison.. I think.

[stamsammy]

perk\1st=kaman (expiring)
signed josh smith to 61.4/5 years (will be a terrible contract one day hehe)
can't tell about lowry but i bought him cheap, he was struggling and the raptors traded for dragic and got gim starting at pg.

[Krispy Flakes]

If you are having trouble rebounding with THAT team then I suggest fixing the sliders.

Looks pretty good. I'm surprised you cant rebound with that team.

I just recently started a Mavs franchise and started the Association with like 8 games remaining. Even though I was 5-2 I couldn't stay with the Lakers. I just simmed the last game.

Ended up with the 15th pick in the draft. Let everyone walk in Free Agency. So all I had was Dirk/Mayo/Collison. Right before the draft I traded the 15th pick,Marion, and some youngster for Gerald Green and Orlando Johnson.

Roster after Free Agency
Collison/Bibby
Mayo / Orlando Johnson
Andre Igu / Green / Korver
Dirk / Odom / Diaw (really want Splitter)
Pekovic / Dalembert

I had money to spend and I think overpaid. The money ran out fast and I do not have bench. In two preseason games I cant shoot a lick with Iggy or Green.

if you are struggling to rebend/defend with that starting 5 you may as well go small with dirk at the 5 and smith at the 4 the entire season, perkins is god awful.. try and sneak him onto a team for a good bench scorer

[Phreezy P]

Your rebound struggles are all on your fault. You have the tallest starting 5 in the league. Either fix your sliders or box out. Hell, Even Lowry can get you some Trip Dubs. Other than that your team should have no trouble becoming champions other then Miami.

BTW, there should be an official thread for all these association teams. There are too much nowadays. Like a rate my association thread.
