What's the catch? 

Post#1 » by Abba Zabba » Wed Feb 6, 2008 3:34 pm

I've been offered Zack Randolph, Mo Williams, and Al Harrington for Kaman, Peja, and Rashad McCants.

I'm in a 9 cat league (fg%, ft%, points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, 3s made, and turn overs).

It seems pretty good for me. I am already strong in rebounds and blocks (I have Dwight Howard and Josh Smith) and am weak in ft%, assists, steals, and 3s.

Judging by the average stats over the last month I come out slightly ahead in the categories I need (and way ahead in assists) and pretty well over all (aside from blocks and rebounds where I can take the hit.)

I've been worried about how Kaman will do as the season wears on with him logging all those minutes and Brandt coming back, but I guess that evens out Harrington's playing with Webber and for Nellie.

Is there something I'm missing about the future outlook of Harrington, Mo or Zack?

I should add that I'm (barely) in first in my league, so I'm not desperate.

The thinking is probably, like you said Harrington will take a hit with Webber, and Mo will take a hit when Redd returns.

Break it down

Randolph vs. Kaman you lose 4 rebounds, 2% points on FG, you gain a few steal but lose a ton of blocks.


Harrington vs Peja you lose a point, gain a rebound, lose a ton in FT%, They are closer then I would have thought.

Mo vs McCants you gain 4 assists, steals, ft%

Looks like it could be a fairly even trade if you really can afford the hit in blocks. But that is one big hit.

Thanks GA,
I was tempted 'cause I've wanted Mo Williams for a while, but I think I;m better off staying pat.
