SG Quentin Richardson (NY - SG,SF)
G Mike Dunleavy (Ind - SG,SF)
SF Trevor Ariza (LAL - SF)
PF Kenyon Martin (Den - PF)
F Josh Smith (Atl - SF,PF)
C Al Harrington (NY - PF,C)
C Andris Biedrins (GS - C)
Util Gerald Wallace (Cha - SF,PF)
Util J.R. Smith (Den - SG)

Help

Gents, I would really like help with this....the reason I would do this is I think B. Miller is going to get traded (which should increase his value) and with Parker I get more points and assists with the %'s. I know the value of J.Smooth...I am just wondering if I am getting good value for it! I leaning towards taking it as I can drop Dunleavy too! (We are limited with our pickups/drops and I have had a lot already!)

HELP! (OzSonic, I think you would provide good insight!) THanks

If you really need assists, then Parker is not really the guy you need. Miller has also a lot of risks in term of injuries and the uncertainty surrounding Sacramento.

I would only use Smith in a home run trade (package or not) for Chris Paul (which I'm exploring in a league), Dwill, Nash, Lebron or what not. Someone guaranteed to average 8assists and up.

Hope this helps.

I don't like it.

Smith and Parker both have more value in H2H, but Smiths is a lot more significant to make this deal good.

If your really desperate, and by the looks of your team you are getting there, I would look into seeing what I could get for Dunleavy, and maybe Brand... just feel out for offers there to get some solid contributors to your squad.

Parker averages 6.5+ apg this season and like LeBron he somehow made a huge leap in FT%(80.5%). Smith plays so badly right now I probably would do the deal.

Smith's production will get back as it was last season. Just comes back from an injury, as soon as he's back in his rhythm, he will get you a ton of blocks and steals and those cats are hard to find. If you really need assists, you can get someone better than Parker, some names are mentioned above.

I'd leave it. Assists are actually pretty hard to find and you have Delonte and Augustin as your PGs...clearly to me that shows your interests are elsewhere and not in assists. Tony Parker isn't the man for assists. Brad Miller also isn't the hottest property in fantasyland either with the possibility of trades etc down the line. I'd go lateral if you were looking to make a move; quality for quantity in small(ish) leagues like this isn't normally the solution...applies here.
