Let's see here... assuming you're using the Yahoo! defaults, you're looking at a lineup of
C - Camby, Curry
PF - Kirilenko
F - Artest
SF - Carter
SG - Magette
G - McGrady
PG - Claxton or Tinsley or Payton
Util - probably the two guys listed as PG above that you don't have playing PG
That leaves a "bench" of Allan Houtson, Stromile Swift, and Tyson Chandler
Reaction one: Cut Allan Houston. Yes, he'll get you a lot of points, but (1) any idiot can score, (2) he's sharing the backcourt with two other chuckers named Crawford and Marbury, and (3) he's hurt.
Reaction two: You may want to try to trade either Tinsley or Artest for another player of about equal caliber. Likewise, though not quite as urgent, with Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry. Why? In a head-to-head league, you're scored by the week; thus, it's usually a good idea to make sure none of your players are on the same team... because if an NBA team only has a couple of games in a given week, you're going to get fewer overall stats than if they had 3 or 4... and this really hurts you when 2 or 3 players are on the same team and put up lesser stats due to fewer games at the same time. You'd rather have the option during a week when the Pacers and Bulls each play two games of bringing in somebody who will be playing 3 or 4 games.
Reaction three: Camby will probably get hurt again this season, so expect to use Stromile Swift or Tyson Chandler some at C. Tyson's back is a bit iffy, though, so that's a bit worrisome, too. All the more reason to trade Tyson for another, similar FC if you can.
Reaction four: You're stacked at GF and have a lot of PGs - but lack much in the way of rebounders (even at C) - and even Camby's rebounding numbers may be a little off this year with a strong rebounder like K-Mart alongside him. This will make your rebounding a bit below average. If possible, you may want to upgrade your Center position's rebounding abilities via trade.
There's my worthless advice. Point #2 is only applicable in head-to-head leagues, not straight rotisserie leagues (like we have for ENWorld), but I think it's a hugely important one. The guy who averages 12-10 (12 pts, 10 reb) but plays 3 games in a given week is more valuable to you (that week) than the guy who averages 15-12 but plays in just two games. Heck, the guy who averages 10-8 and plays in four games is more valuable than both of them! By making sure every player on your team is from a different NBA team, you maximize your chances of being able to plug in players who are going to see three or four games instead of those that are playing just a couple of games in a given week.
