Who wins? Arenas/Hughes for CButler/Nelson? 

Post#1 » by jorgo » Sun Dec 13, 2009 10:52 am

12 team, 8 cat roto.

Arenas + Larry Hughes for Jameer Nelson + Caron Butler.

Which two guys would you prefer?

Wash. Arenas is the best player in the trade, but I wouldn't count on Larry Hughes to produce all season. For me, it would come down to whether my team was competitive in FG%. If so, I take Butler and Nelson. If not, the other pairing.


EDIT: Know what? I was thinking H2H format. In Roto, where you can't tank cats, I take Butler/Nelson. Arenas/Hughes puts you in the bottom ranks of FG% unless you have some MONSTER centers (Dwight) to compensate for their shooting.

Bumping so you see my edit. Oh, and let's get summore opinions in here. Jorgo's always one of the first to offer advice to others.

I personally like Butler and Nelson better... LIke ALD (name's way too long =/) said I wouldn't count on Hughes to produce all season long...

I also feel like in the long-run you'd basically be **** on your FG% and turnovers hard if you have both Arenas and Hughes...

I have Stoudemire, Nene, Kaman, Bynum. So my FG% with both of those guys (and Kidd) is still around .466. Enough for 6 points outta 12.

The guy I'm trying to swing the deal to is last in FG%, so I'm selling the fact that he may as well tank FG% and these two guys contribute heavily everywhere else.

My concerns are that Nelson will linger around the same stats he put up earlier for the remainder of the season. Reasoning being Vince Carter. But is Carter just as much of a ball hog as Hedo?

I think Arenas will turn it around, so I feel I could get better value if I wait 2 weeks because the Wizards play some fantasy friendly teams over this period.

The reasoning behind the whole deal is to boost my FT% which is at .768. I can gain like 7 points if I can boost that to .783.

Cheers again Ashy for the bumping and to you as well NetsForce. Two great contributors here.
