I had him in my lineup for Dynasty. I needed boost in scoring and FG%. Thanks for the vintage 2011 performance DRose.

[Calvin Klein]

By the way...Ricky Rubio...not cool.

You need to quote those guys. They never visit this forum outside of the fantasy stuff. It's KDMVPBOI and MIame4Ever I think.

[MathiasPW]

Need FG% in Dynasty. I have good bigs in Vucevic, Love and M Turner, but none of them are playing close to the basket to shoot much better than .500.

Sent a couple of offers I felt were fair, but got rejected in all of them.

I have no untouchables. So I am open to ideas anyone may have.

There has been a trade in Dynasty!

Golanator receives: F/C Demarcus Cousins, G/F Rodney Hood
TASTIC receives: F Tobias Harris

My thoughts: I do lose some scoring and rebounding this season going from Harris to Hood, but this is a long term play for me with Boogie. I do think I have a team that can win it all this season, but this makes me even stronger in the future. Hood can still help with 3's, scoring, FT% and hopefully his steals stay around 1 too

Seems like a good deal. I hate it.

Trrbl trade... what r u doing? Harris is a legit mid-round talent with lots of years left in him. Cousins will never be the same after that injury and Hood is straight trash (he had 1 good game and only because Love is out)

It's not a terrible trade by any means.

If Boogie comes back to even 70% of his former self - that's still a 20-10-5 guy with 3PT/STL/BLK.

I like Tobias but he's basically playing at his career peak right now, which is good but it's a top 30ish guy.

Hood isn't straight trash, he's hit double figures every game so far and averaging 21 in his last 2, along with 3reb 3ast 2.5stl. He won't keep those numbers up, but there's no reason he shouldn't put up 17-3-2.5 with heaps of 3s and FT%, which is good value as far as trash goes! Especially in a league this deep on such a crap Cavs team

[MathiasPW]

Hoods' numbers aren't sustainable, most likely, and DMC is a huge risk. Big gamble, but could pay off.

Of course you don't think it's bad... highway robbery IMO.

Please explain to me how Tobias Harris, 26 years old, who is entering his prime is "peaking". Solid mid-rounder for the next 5 years at least, and that's his floor.

Cousins will never avg more than 20ppg again, especially on the Warriors and definitely not after that injury. He'll be on the decline for the rest of his career.

And yes Hood is trash, even on that Cavs team. Love is out, there's no one else on that team right now that can score, but that won't always be the case. He will end up dropping him mid-season for someone else.

Edit: Hood's line tonight: 1/9 .111 FG% 6/6 from the stripe, 8 pts, 0 threes, 4 boards, 4 dimes. 3 stocks... 27 mins on a crap Cavs team

Harris: 10/16 .625 FG%, 2/2 from the stripe, 2 threes, 24 pts, 8 boards, 3 dimes, 1 blk.

Cos your offer of Schroder for Blake Griffin was much more fair and not attempted robbery!

At least Derozan for JJJ could be classed as 'fair' because it was an elite guy for a young guy who will be elite soon.

If you don't like it, veto it.

But both of us have our reasons for the trade and it's not like this involves tanking or collusion etc. This is a high risk/high reward trade.

I wouldn't have traded for Boogie, not that, but I have no idea how well he comes back. Not sure who has made it back from a torn Achilles, and at his weight, it's a huge risk. I have mostly young players though anyway, and think Harris is quality.

Yeah. I mean, there's a scenario where this works out for both of you in a big way, but also it could bite both of you. If Boogie comes back at full strength next season, Golanator might lock up the championship for the next season or two and then you've traded away a fantasy stud for a ~4th round kind of guy (especially considering the Clippers might be a free agent destination and leave Harris with less usage and lower stats across the board). However, Boogie could never come back to form and Harris could still make a leap.

The thing I'm most curious about is what are you going to change your team name too now that you won't have Boogie.

If you think Boogie is so good then why did you trade him?

Offered you Schroder for Griffin because we both put them on the block, it was a starting point. Never thought you would accept, but maybe counter with something else, which you did with Blake "Cant stay Healthy" Griffin and some Waiver fodder for Dennis Smith Jr. I rejected.

Derozan for JJJ is far from fair... 31 year old, Derozan was never considered elite before this season and definitely not at the time of your offer. 19 year old, JJJ is most likely a future 1st rounder.

Tobias is nice but I already have a Costco Tobias in Harrison Barnes who puts up many of the same numbers.

Tobias this season (breakout year): 20.9 ppg, 8.6 reb, 1.7 ast
Barnes last season: 18.9 ppg, 6.1 reb, 2 ast

Cousins was a 25/13/5 guy last season who also averaged more than 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks AND can hit 3's.

You may or may not like this deal but if Cousins comes anywhere near that again I win the trade by a landslide. You act like he's turned into Omer Asik all of a sudden, lol.

Question about trading draft picks in Dynasty. Since we have 8 keepers, are we only supposed to trade draft picks in rounds 1-4?
