Just made a trade, need opinions

12 Team, H2H, 9 Cat

Out:
Kidd
Jeff Green
Hibbert

In:
Iggy
Jameer Nelson
Marion

New Roster:

Nelson
Terry
Wade
Iggy
Dunleavy
Tyrus Thomas
Andrew Bynum
Brook Lopez
Speights
Stuckey
Q-Rich
Bargnani
Marion

I'm in first place so I was wary of making changes, but when I looked at the other top teams, I was worried that my previous roster didn't have enough scoring to hold onto the lead. Do you think this trade made sense for me?

I like it.

I don't expect Nelson to get back to his allstar level last year, but he should be serviceable.

Hibbert's #s will go down again once Troy Murphy is back, so I think you've done fine.

I like it as well, you improve your scoring greatly but don't lose to much in 3's, steals, or assists since iggy and jameer combined will give atleast if not more what j kidd provided in those stats.

You'll have a lot less headaches with Hibbert gone, I don't think he was really needed on your team either given that you have Lopez, Thomas, and Bynum... I think you won the trade as pretty much:

Iguodala > Kidd
Marion > Hibbert
Nelson = Green

Thanks for the input, guys. You've touched on all the reasons I pulled the trigger. Hibbert's 2 pt performance last night vindicated my decision -- foul trouble + rotation flux + inability to matchup with mobile centers (Bargnani, in this case) = inconsistent production.

Though I do think he's capable of doing big things if Murphy is eventually moved. I would have been more hesitant to trade him away if my opponent were not in 8th place, currently.
