There are 10 teams in my league. You don't think Nash could put up numbers with an increased role due to Kobe's injury?

Can someone please help me out? I know NBA basketball well, but I have never played fantasy before and I'm a little confused. I drafted this team in my Yahoo league and I don't understand how the Bench and Utility positions work in fantasy basketball, also not sure how to make sure my starters are starters. Here is my team.
PG - R. Westbrook
SG - K. Thompson
SF - L. James
PF - Tristan Thompson
C - D. Howard
G - A. Iguodala
F - A. Varejao
Util - S. Nash
Util - V. Oladipo
BN - J. Jack
BN - B. Mclemore
BN - Jamal Crawford
BN - O. Asik
BN - O. Porter Jr
I want to start Nash or Oladipo in place of Westbrook, right now they have Crawford automatically replacing Nash and I can't figure out how to start Nash instead. I also want to know what Util players are, does that mean that can play any position, because right now my Util players are Nash and Dipo and I would never use them as anything other than guard.
thinking about trading Eric Gordon for JJ Redick.. any thoughts??
Redick gets you 3s..... Eric Gordon is stuck in a quagmire of sg on the pelicans. I think I would do it if you need 3s
Really depends on how much you trust Gordon to stay healthy, along with your team's depth at the two. If he's healthy he's just better than Redick. But can you rely on him to stay healthy? The problem is, if he stays healthy, he's an elite two-guard who really puts up numbers. If you trade him for Redick and he stays reasonably healthy, you got ripped off. What's your depth like at the two? Who else do you have?
I have him in my pay league, but I'm also pretty loaded at the two-guard. I have Stephen Curry (listed as a PG/SG on Yahoo), James Harden (listed as a SG/SF), Bradley Beal, Victor Oladipo, and Eric Gordon.
If your depth is similar to mine, I'd hold on to Gordon for now and see if you can't bring in a better haul for him in a month or so. Right now his value is low because he missed pretty much all of last season. If he plays great basketball for a month, that will change.
Looks like what you need more than anything is another big man. You've got two guys listed as pure centers, one guy as a pure power forward, and one combo forward. You've also got six guys listed as two-guards (or guard-forwards) and four point guards. You should definitely be looking to swap for a big rather than another guard, and preferably a F/C combo big if you can find a good trade.
cool thanks! would you trade igy for ibaka?
I disagree, Ibaka has a rare category that is he one of the best in the league at he will turn it around. Iggy is a sell high candidate at the moment.
He has never in his career been a good 3 point shooter. He already has carmelo on his team so he does not need a sf (I personally hate melo but he is a good one) The biggest weakness is sg. The rare category would sell it for me on Ibaka. He does have Dwight so the need is really not there and that would be the reason I might keep Iggy
