Trade Advice 

Post#1 » by jzn869 » Tue Mar 5, 2013 12:00 am

Hey guys, I'm trying to prepare myself for the playoffs and the trade deadline for my league is this Thursday.

Yahoo Standard 9-cat

PG - Holiday, Jack
SG - Thompson, Batum, Derozan
SF - Lebron, Derrick Williams, Ilyasova
PF - Vucevic, Bosh,
C - Lee, Pekovic, M. Gasol

I'm thinking of proposing Lee/Batum for Lowry/West. Batum re aggravated his wrist recently and hes a shell of what he was in the beginning of the season. Lee also has a bad playoff schedule. What do you guys think?

Should I swap Batum for Calderon or Iggy?

T. Young for Batum was proposed as well.

I've dropped from 3rd to 5th this week and rebs are the only cat thats going in my favor.

I think you can get more for Batum than either Calderon or Iggy (if you wanted to do either of these I would suggest Jose since your team could use more assists with only 2 PG's.)

I think Lowry+West for Batum + Lee is also a very good trade for your team. But Lowry is kind of like Batum in that he is a high injury risk, and when he is not healthy he shoots garbage percentages but still tends to fill up the rest of the categories. But I like West a lot, and since he has better schedule than Lee he is better for the playoffs.

Def no to Thad Young for Batum.

Could you by chance get West + Calderon for Batum + Lee? i think that would be ideal (different owners maybe i'm not sure since you mentioned both).

Thanks for the advice WhiteMamba I ended up pulling the trigger on the trade and I got Lowry/West for Batum/Lee. Now my team is as shown:

PG - Holiday, Lowry, Jack
SG - Thompson, Derozan
SF - Lebron, Derrick Williams, Ilyasova
PF - Vucevic, Bosh,
C - D. West, Pekovic, M. Gasol

I feel like a trade or two more to tweak my team would help. I was thinking of proposing:
Bosh/Lowry for Lawson/Dirk.
I knew trading Lee/Batum would take a hit on my points and I know both Lawson and Dirk can light it up some nights. I wanna dump Bosh, but it might be too late.
Should I look into a Bosh for George Hill swap? Jack for Hill?
