Draft and Trade Talk Message Board

Hello!
I'm not one to do this type of post, but I've been getting so many e-mails asking advice, I just had to do to to keep it all in one place.
Let me set some ground rules:
1. Keep it on Head-2-Head. I'm most knowledgeable on H2H - I can offer my opinion on ROTO, but I don't really play it.
2. YOU NEED TO POST YOUR TEAM/ROSTER. I cannot asses a trade or a waiver pick up if I don't know what you team's needs are. You should make this a personal rule whenever you post anywhere asking for trade advice.
3. I'm already maxed out in my leagues. Don't ask me to join.
4. Only Basketball-relevant questions, please. But to include a simple FAQ: Yes, I model and, yes - I'm married with a beautiful little boy!
5. Just like any other advice, it's JUST an OPINION. Don't hate because you made a pick-up and the guy started sucking or decided to help his wife out and miss a few games (the latter of which I wholeheartedly endorse).
So, what can I help you with today?-

you think raja will be better than anthony morrow in nellie's system?
nate robinson does look tempting (does he get that many assists?). but wont tony douglas outperform him?
im thinking maybe i should trade for jameer nelson w. his assists or someone else. im stacked with 4-5 pgs though with miller, calderon, brooks, and tyreke evans.
should i try to package evans & miller for a better pg?- View Replies

aww man you gotta wait to trade tyreke evans that's like picking a fruit before its ripe. I was hoppin that kevin martin was gonna last 20 games before he went down with injury and I could get evans off the waiver wire. Now that it all happened so fast wait 2-3 weeks and I'd try to reach on a trade. Ya gotta trade evans before martin comes back and ruins that team again. Miller has at least maybe 1-2 more weeks of value before portland recovers from there injuries at that 3 spot and I dont think we'll see roy playing the 3 after that.

I'm in a 12 team H2H league with the normal scoring categories. I really like my team but am a little worried about assists and steals. I'm wondering if I should make a trade for Steve Nash or even trade for CP3 while he's injured & stash him on my bench for a bit? What do you see as my needs & who is expendable that I should trade away to fill these needs? Thanks for the help!
Here's my team:
PG Joe Johnson
(Atl - PG,SG,SF)
SG Hedo Turkoglu
(Tor - SG,SF)
G Baron Davis
(LAC - PG)
SF Carmelo Anthony
(Den - SF)
PF David Lee
(NY - PF,C)
F Jeff Green
(OKC - SF,PF)
C Dwight Howard
(Orl - C)
C Erick Dampier
(Dal - C) (*INJ)
Util Aaron Brooks
(Hou - PG)
Util Louis Williams
(Phi - PG,SG)
Util Raymond Felton
(Cha - PG,SG)
BN Luis Scola
(Hou - PF,C)
BN Udonis Haslem

Sorry to hijack your thread Jess, but I just wana give me 2 cents to this guy..
Both Nash & CP3 will be quite expensive to trade for... So if you want either guy, be prepared to give up top caliber talent for their owners to give them away..
Nash is playing really well right now, which makes his value about a 1st rounder.. If you want him, you will likely have to give up a Joe Johnson & Felton for a package that has Nash.. Try a straight up deal with Joe Johnson or DH12 to see if the other owner might become interested.. If you don't want to give up your top 2 picks, then try a combination of B-Diddy alongside either Scola, Green, or Lee to see if the Nash owner becomes interested..
As for CP3, his injury may have dented his value.. But his value still havent lowered down & due to his name value & talent.. It is likely you can offer a package of DH12 & Felton for the CP3 to see if he will be interested.. If not, then try JJ, Lee, & either Brooks or Felton for CP3..
As a CP3 & Nash owner myself in some leagues, I wouldn't accept any offer without one of the owner's top 2 picks.. -

If you want to trade for CP3, you need to make a move soon because they already found out that there's no structural damage, so that means some three to four weeks at most.
More realistically, I'd probably go for Derrick Rose or Jameer Nelson for Jeff Green + Brewer. -

as for stls & assist...
I don't think that your weak at those cats at all.. JJ, Felton, Brooks, B-Diddy, & Lou Will will likely be enough for you to be competitive in the ast & stls category.. Barring injuries to these players, you should be fine!!!

BUT Smith seems to be set for some nice playing time with Speights out and Brand not being a "40 minute" player, as the coach put it.
I'd go with Hickson and keep my eye out for Smith. -

It is likely that Sessions or Hickson are your only droppables...
I already told you about Hickson, so it is up to you if you want to part ways with him or keep him in your roster..
Sessions on the other hand is abit a headache to own, due to inconsistentcy in his production.. He is CURRENTLY in a pg-timeshare with Flynn, & I don't see it changing soon unless Flynn goes down with an injury..
There will be time where Sessions will have a solid game, to the expense of Flynn having a bad game.. And there will be times that Sessions will be warming the bench, due to Rambis giving Flynn the majority of minutes..
It is just unfortunate for Sessions owners as this situation haven't panned out the way they have expected based from what Sessions has done last season.. -

16team H2H standard 9-cats
this is my lineup:
Dwight
Tyreke
Z-Bo
Aaron Brooks
Turkoglu
Okafor
Odom
Kleiza
Ridnour
Jermaine O'Neal
Ilyasova
Im thinking of trading Z-Bo with Nene but not really a priority. I think I should drop Ilyasova for someone that gives me STLS. what do you think Jessica?- View Replies

Hey dude, whas up!!! I am a model too and have 2 beautiful kids. I have been in 16 magazines if that means anything to someone like you. Oh, and please don't say the queen is in unless i really am you sucker.

I LOVE your first four picks... pure gold.
I like the sleepers you have in Kleiza and Ridnour, since Kleiza has a nice new starting gig in fantasy-friendly Toronto and Ridnour is going to chip away at Flynn's minutes because of the injury and the fact that Flynn has yet to adapt to the system.
It's REALLY unfortunate that Gooden arrived and knocked Ilyasova's unique 3PTM/REBs/BLK game out. He'll probably see limited minutes, unless he can have some sort of consistency and knock Mbah a Moute down behind him. That or injury.
That said, I DO think you should drop Ersan, but STLs are not your real strong point. I'd probably drop him for someone who can lock my REBs.
I wouldn't do the Z-Bo/Nene trade for the same reasons. You can't get those points or those rebounds from Nene... and those are things you have going for you in this team.
Good Luck!

Hey Jess, what's your prognosis on Charlie V this year? :P Seems like you're not his biggest fan. I see a bounce-back season for him as he's currently penciled as the starting PF for DET. Don't know though how Jerebko will be used this season.
