Joe Johnson for Horford+Lawson 

Post#1 » by 76ciology » Thu Nov 5, 2009 2:57 am

I trade Horford and Lawson for Joe Johnson.

My reason is because I think Horford and Lawson's value are at an all time high.

Horford's stats is inflated because of his 24-16 against Indy and 12rebs 5 blocks performance against the wizards and Lawson is seeing a lot of playing time because J.R. Smith is still serving his suspension.

On the other hand Joe Johnson is on his contract year and is a legit top 20 fantasy player.

I like the idea. Who do you pick up though since it's a two for one?
PG K. Lowry, T. Lawson
SG G. Hill, E. Gordon
SF K. Thompson, O. Porter
PF L. Aldridge, T. Thompson
C A. Jefferson, J. Noah
UT T. Burke, R. Hood
BN A. Len, J. Meeks, C. Budinger

What do you guys think?

BTW, I'm not yet decided on who I'm going to pick. :D

Do it but I'd like to know who else is on your roster.

Must be nice. A 2-for-1 trade proposal involving a player who was picked up off the wire in the last 5 days is considered an insult in my league.

It's a 20 team Roto league.

PG: Brandon Jennings (155)
SG: Joe Johnson (25)
G: Chris Duhon (86)
SF: Kevin Durant (6)
PF: Gerald Wallace (35)
F: Martel Webster (players list)
C: Greg Oden (75)
C: Tyson Chandler (126)
Uti: Tyreke Evans (115)
Uti: Steve Blake (195)
Bench: Belinelli (206)
Bench: Turiaf (166)
Bench: X

I haven't figured out who I'm going to add with the 2 roster spot, because the trade isn't processed yet.

With Durant and Gerald Wallace's recent struggles, I'm the last in FG% and points. And with Steve Blake and Tyreke Evans' boneheaded decision making, I'm also the last in TOs. Prior to the trade, my team is really struggling.

My strong points are Rebounds, Blocks and steals. Actually Im top at those categories, that's why I manage to trade Al Horford.

Actually it's a 20 team roto league with a $200 price for whoever got the first place.
