I did have Elton Brand but when i signed Gasol i needed to trade him for 3PTM. No one wanted him then finally someone offered Josh Howard and i had to take it. Besides the injuries what can i do?

Can't tell if you're playing H2H or roto.
If H2H: You have Artest and Jamison. Build around them, strength on strength. If another player on your team doesn't contribute substantially in FG%, 3's, Points, Boards, Steals and Blocks, or in at least three of those cats plus FG%, then drop or trade 'em. Frye and Ridnour for a Steven Hunter type, or Deron Williams for Rasheed or Gerald Wallace. And, no, you did not have to take the Brand for JoHoward trade!
If Roto: In your case, you still have to pick your battles. You'll never compete in FT% (cuz of DwHoward), you're only fair to middlin' in 3's and assists despite having Antawn and Deron, and you're still light on blocks. And, still no, you did not have to take the Brand for JoHoward trade!! You sure could've done worse than Josh, but Thou Shalt Not Trade 1st Rounders for Less Than First Rounders! Sorry, it's water under the bridge.
In roto, I'd suggest writing off FT%, waiving, trading or even just benching Frye and Ridnour (Luke could come around w/Rashard back...), and picking up the best available shot blocker (Hunter?) and the best available 3-steal-assist monster (Blake, Tinsley?) until Jamison and Boozer get back.
The short answer of what's wrong, tho, is that you're trying to compete in points. However, everybody scores. You'd do better to dominate in 3's, steals, assists and blocks, and just try to remain competitive in points, boards, the percentages, and turnovers. That way, you're in position to pull a Kevin Harvick in the last few weeks.

I have a feeling that you consistently lose Blocks, FT's, Turnovers, assists.
And if you dont have a good week, you might lose 3's as well.
on paper all these guys look good but you just have guys all doing a little bit of something, but in fantasy you need to concentrate on certain aspects. If you had kept elton brand you'd win blocks fg's every single week, but now you have howard instead (which was a horrible trade, totally got screwed).
You might want to decide what you want to do, do you want to concentrate on blocks? concentrate on 3's?
you can also drop channing frye and morris peterson so you can find someone who will consistently give you numbers you need.
Unless you can pull off some nice trades you are pretty much stuck where you are.

Well I am mostly looking at how your 2 lowest players (frye and peterson) are such a dropoff from your other players. That suggests to me that the waiver wire/FAs could be pretty good. Your team looks pretty solid and versatile... so look to drop your bottom two for anyone better on FA...
I am not sure where you are in the standings but if you need to make a playoff push try to trade jamison or boozer to a higher end team for immediate help...

What are your weaknesses?
My fantasy team is similar. I have DHoward and Wilcox and they both kill my ft%. You could use help with 3's made, especially with Jamison being out for some weeks. I would play Crawford. He has some off-nights but on some nights, he's lights-out. Puts up close to 18 a game and shoots a lot of 3's...
The only thing left you can do is make good trades.

Once Jamison and Boozer are back you'll be fine. The weakest part is Ridnour at Util. He is having a very disapointing season.

You should have kept Brand or at least got something better for him. 3PTM is only one category. Bad move.

obviously the injuries are the problem but you should put channing fry in for luke ridnour. not much else you can do but shop the free agent market.
