FINALLY, John Wall has FINALLY strung together two great games. It finally looks like I may be able to move him. I was just wondering which Centers I could target in a 1 for 1 or 2 for 1? Are Javale, Monroe, Gortat all viable candidates? Anyone else? 

Lately, you can add Marc Gasol to that list. While hot, you can get a “+1″ along with Monroe, Gasol, and Gortat in exchange for your Wall.

My thoughts exactly, but he hasn’t had anything near a hot streak. Drafted before Tyson was brought over to New York. Was hoping for Stoud to get all Carmelo’s put backs. Out in PF land he’s just garbage now. Plus I’m in a 14man league on yahoo of all interfaces. 4 vetos is all that’s required. Pretty impossible for anything to get through since the top4 teams will just veto everything out of fear. Kill myself. -_-;

Hey guys what do you think about Amare and Mullens for G Wallace and T Chanlder. I have amare and mullens. Thats no brainier right? 

looking to trade carmelo in a deep 15 man roster league. My bench is solid up til the 15th spot (jonas jerebko).

I’m a big fan of trading a top star for two mediocre players (joe johnson, pierce/j.jack). I wouldn’t normally do something like this in a standard league, but it worked for me last year when i traded m. ellis for scola and joe johnson. My team 180′d from there and took the title.

Thoughts on this idea of trading carmelo? I also have s. curry, but I can’t see the demand there for him to warrant to 40-80 rated players.

I assumed that it’d be a no-brainer too, but looking at the numbers it’s a little closer than I was expecting. Still, unless Amare reverts to his pre-Melo self and Mullens becomes a 20 ppg scorer, you’ll come out ahead. Based on their performances so far this season (and using Mullens’ stats as a starter), your giving up 6-8 points a game and some FT% for 1 board, 2 assists, a steal and a block a game. If you can afford to give up the points, I’d make that trade.

Hey Gg, thanks for the kind words about the site. Running your team through the analyzer and this is what I get for your team’s averages in a week (assuming Eric Gordon is healthy).

Considering you haven’t gotten much out of Gordon so far this year, I say great job even getting to 18-9. Again, assuming that you are healthy, you’ve got a killer team as far as points go with Durant, Gordon, Bargs and JJ. You’re also a pretty good assist team, have some good three numbers (Ryan Anderson is carrying your team on his back there) and nice FT%. Your only real weakness is TOs, but most everything else appears to be toss-up categories. You could certainly afford to give up some points for rebounds/blocks if you wanted to, although Brook Lopez might solve that problem  without a trade.  

In regard to Lopez, he still has no timetable for return, but is expected back sometime between the beginning and middle of February. So if you stashed him now, there is a chance you’d have to sit on him for over a month. Looks like your team is good enough to hold onto Lopez, but I’d suggest waiting until Gordon gets back on the court so you don’t have to sit on two injured guys. 

2-for-1 trades are indeed a great way to improve your team if you’ve got a deep bench. The problem is that everyone tries them, and dubious 2-1 deals often get thrown around leagues all the time. As a result owners are often wary of 2-for-1′s and you’ll typically have to give up two very good players to get a slightly better one in a 2-for-1 deal. Keep trying , but chances are you’ll have to give up more value than you expect to get a 2 for 1 done.

Wait huh? Some places I’ve seen are advocating a buy low on Stoudemire, because he can’t play this bad forever right?
What do you think of a David West + Jason Terry offer for Stoudemire?

Hi, 

My Team in 11-team rottisseire. Currently, leading by 6 points.

Kevin Love
David Lee
Andre Iguodala
Kyle Lowry
Danilo Gallinari
Andray Blatche
Lamar Odom
Boris Diaw
Daren Collision
Carlos Delfino
Dejuan Blair
Al Harrington
Markieff Morris

I am thinking of Iguodala for Steve Nash. What you guys think?

drop Zaza for Parsons?

or better look at my team and tell what’d I change? Thaks a lot.

Looking at your team’s totals on a per game basis, I’ve got you as strong in boards, steals and threes and about mid of the road in everything else (let me know if I’m way off on anything there). Nash would give you a huge bump in assists and percentages at the cost of rebounds, steals, blocks and TOs. I do like the idea of trying to add some assists to your team to complement Lowry, but based on the way AI has played this year, I think that is a lot to give up for Nash. I would really want to do it, I think Nash +1 would be fair for Iguodala.

In terms of other moves, I’d look to drop Odom if you can. He’s been so bad that he’s a percentage killer while not really contributing much of anything. I’ll keep preaching the good word of Chandler Parsons if he’s available as a replacement. Boris Diaw’s demotion might also cause some problems down the road. I don’t think he has much trade value at this point, just hope he gets back in Paul Silas’ good graces. 

Hey helpmepls – I like the name! Thanks for the kind words about the site, we’ll see what we can do to help you. You said you start 10 players per week, so I am going to assume this is a weekly changes league. Let me know if this is not the case. So, based 80% on the current season stats and 20% our out projections going into the year, here is what I have your team averaging per week in terms of stats (assuming you’ve got a healthy team and Dorell Wright backs back a little from his horrible slump).

And here is about what the average team in your league should do.

You’ve obviously been hit bad by the underperformance bug with Dorell Wright, Frye and to a lesser extent Kidd. The good news is Wright is sort of improving, so you should be in better shape there. And in a perfect world, your team does actually have some strengths – rebounds, threes, TOs and FT%, so you have something to build off of. 

Since you don’t have any assist men other then Rose and Kidd, my drastic blow everything up suggestion would be to forget about assists and probably steals and focus in on the big man stats – points/boards/blocks/TOs percentages and threes for your guards. That means – get ready – time to trade Rose away. Look for a top tier big in return, say Kevin Love or Marc Gasol + another mid round player (maybe a scorer/three point shooter). Kidd could also be traded away for a much less impressive haul.

It sounds drastic, but I think your team needs a new direction. You don’t have enough talent at the moment to compete in every category, so focus big and build off Smith since the rest of your team is built to support a big ball team. 

Hi Patrick, 

My sentiments too. You are spot on for the standings. We are on the same page. I actually JUST traded Marshon Brooks for Lamar Odom. Haha… I have Chandler Parsons before I drop him for Dejuan Blair… Looks like I will most likely drop Odom for Parsons. 

The reason for the trade is that I am leading way off for the 3 cats. 30 threes, 70 boards and 20 steals at this moment and I was thinking of sacrificing a bit for the assist. 

Anyway, I would like to know more about your “Analyzer”, is there anyway, we can use it or do we have to post here to get you to do it?
