Is it time to trade Batum

Yahoo H2H, 9Cat, 12 team league... Our league trade deadline is Mar14... I am a little worried about Batum wrist and I figure I will give him couple more weeks to see if this laser treatment will help him at all. He is still giving me goodies right across the board but his percentages are horrible because of the wrist.

He has an excellent playoff schedule and that is one of the reason i was holding on to him along with scoring in all the categories...

Do I keep him or shop him once he produce big numbers?

Keep him. He is being an idiot for playing while his wrist is injured though. He should take two weeks off. But that said, his value is low right now to anyone that knows he is playing injured.

If by fantasy playoff time he is still struggling then maybe you have to panic and move him. Like you said though, he is still producing well besides percentages, so you have to factor in how much that hurts your team ... are you usually solid in percentages, borderline, or weak?

Looking at your team you have a bunch of guys who are not very efficient like Felton, Gordon Hayward, Monta Ellis, and George Hill and Rubio. So it's possible you might want to tank fg%? I'm not sure what your plans are but you could consider it.

you're screwed. chances are he won't get better. may even shut it down. but he has no trade value and too much value, even while injured, and too much upside on the whole, to do anything with him.

this season feels like it's been especially rough with prominent injuries -shrugs-
