What do you guys think of this trade I just got offered?
Gerald Henderson & Joakim Noah for Nicolas Batum.

My team
Chris Paul
Klay Thompson
Jeff Teague
Nicolas Batum
Nene Hilario
Jeff Green
Kevin Garnett
Blake Griffin
E'Twaun Moore
Kevin Martin
John Salmons
Jarrett Jack
Nikola Vucevic
Jordan Crawford

Batum has been a stud this year especially of late with his ast and reb per. I could really use Noah's Blk and REB as I'm in the bottom half in that category (REB) for the league. But hesitate on giving up my 3pt as it's been my bread and butter category this year and the guy offering the trade in 2-3 to last in that category.

What do you guys think accept, reject or counter?

What do you guys think accept, reject or counter?

no. Batum is a multi stat cat producer. end of story. If you really need the boards + blks go for someone like Drummond or Favors or Kosta. Andre and Derrick will be let loose soon enough (minutes wise) in the second half of the season. Or if you need boards badly get Hickson dude is a walking double double machine. These dudes can be had without giving up batum.

this. never trade a stud forward for a center, ever. bigs are easy to find in the FA and really only contribute to one or two categories. if you need rebs/blks you can find specialists in your FA for sure and drop guys like moore and salmons

 

[luong1209]

Rudy Gay and Roy Hibbert, :x :x :x :x!

 

[nike4kja05]

Salmons worth a pickup?

 

[bxbadboy90]

Jose Caleron for Rubio?

 

[diewitsjames]

Jose Caleron for Rubio?

honestly id rather have calderon

Salmons worth a pickup?

depends who you dropping

Rudy Gay and Roy Hibbert,

!

it was actually a "good" game for roy.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

yeah Roy has been good on the defensive end it's his offensive game that has been horrendous. Hopefully he picks it up in this new year.

And Nikola V. getting 29 boards 3 stls 2 blks :x

 

[jrdnsrnss]

29 boards that's crazy

 

[bjamez20]

Picked up Vucevic last night because I needed to start a PF feelsgoodman

Rudy Gay and Roy Hibbert, :x :x :x :x!

Have both these dudes. Hoping they pick it up soon...Hibberts been disappointing for the most part.

roys playing injured but theres no way he cant grab 10 reb a night. dudes just lazy

 

[dragon]

someone trading me john wall and greg monroe for love. I have love. Who wins?

 

[Ja's 2¢]

this trade is goin down in one of the Ls I'm in, trade is kinda crazy.

Team A Gets:
Horford
Parker
Hickson

Team B Gets:
Love
Deron
Humprhies
Drummond

 

[Deleted member 38182]

How'd team B get both Love and D-Will, weren't they both going top 10?

 

[Ja's 2¢]

I guess Team A got frustrated with the lack of top 10 play from Love and DWill. Both are struggling right now. But it's still crazy to think about. It didn't officially process yet since there is a 2 day veto process.

 

[diewitsjames]

How'd team B get both Love and D-Will, weren't they both going top 10?

love dropped to about 15 since he broke his hand and would  be out 4 weeks. he was ranked 4th but then went in the early 2nd round

this trade is goin down in one of the Ls I'm in, trade is kinda crazy.

Team A Gets:
Horford
Parker
Hickson

Team B Gets:
Love
Deron
Humprhies
Drummond

thats basically horford parker hickson for love and deron. im ok with that but id rather have love and deron.

rather have love than wall and monroe.

 

[senor chang]

How'd team B get both Love and D-Will, weren't they both going top 10?

I think no one wanted Love at the time cuz he was out the first month. He was getting passed up by everyone during the draft. I was hoping Love would fall down to where I was in the 2nd round so I can draft him but he ended up getting drafted.

 

[luong1209]

I may be letting my emotions get the best of me, but...

Brandon Knight and Rudy Gay for Jarrett Jack and Derozan...I'm getting Jack and Demar.


Why I want to: Rudy has been underperforming with terrible FG, sometimes FT, and not enough points.
Brandon Knight...What do I even need to say?

With Jack and Demar, they're both consistent and low TO.

you're crazy man. just do BK and gay for josh smith or another stud straight up and pick up a solid player off FA

also, gay is averaging 18ppg, his career avg is 17.9, last year he avged 19. not really underperforming in that sense. his fg did dip but he will even out during the second half of the season.

 

[luong1209]

I know it's irrational, but I'm second to last in that league and I need to shake things up..|I

Mo Williams out right now, but someone dropped him...Hoping I can pick him up in a few weeks and drop BK.

 

[vvsvito]

Avery Bradley is expected back tomorrow. although he will be eased in at first he's expected to be a starter. What kind of value will he have?

 

[flyerthandelta]

He has great value if your in a category league only thing is when you need 3s from your guards he's not gonna give you that.

hes basically pts/ft/stl kind of guy. doesnt do too much unless hes starting at PG

 

[vvsvito]

Is he worth a look in a 9 cat 12 team? I have an open slot that I use to stream daily. But I'd considering holding AB if he performs like he did with 30+ mins in the last month of the season. 15ppg on 50% FG, 80% FT, 1.2 3pt. Few rebs and a steal.

you can pick him up for the week and see how he does. i dont think he'll be as good since they have lee/terry/barbosa clogging up the 2guard spot and rondo there. last season rondo didn't play some of the remaining games so bradley took over PG.

Tue, Jan 1

Bradley (shoulder) will make his season debut Wednesday against the Grizzlies, CSN New England reports.

Recommendation: Coach Doc Rivers affirmed that the Celtics view Bradley as a starter, though he might come off the bench as he eases himself back into action. Bradley showed promise as a starter late last season and should eventually see consistent minutes alongside Rajon Rondo.

if he gets 30 min a night then you have to pick him up
