If Haywood gets traded...

Which big man gets the biggest boost in fantasy value in Washington? Mcgee? Gooden? Blatche? Their front court will be incredibly thin.

Probably Blatche initially. Maybe McGee towards the end of the season.

I picked up Gooden but Blatche will certainly benefit.

It's a small sample size, but the one game Haywood has missed this season (1/5/10), Young logged 30 minutes for just the fifth time this season. Young played over 30 minutes three of the next four games. Butler was healthy this whole time. Once Haywood got re-adjusted to the lineup, Young's minute went back down. With Haywood out of the picture, it looks to me that Washington may play more small ball and Young will be the beneficiary.

I don't know I think you can simplify it with Butler gone somebody has to be the starting SF so Young should just slide in there

Blatche is the guy I think people should be jumping on though, I could see him sliding in at the starting center position.

Blatche is lazy! It won't be long and Gooden will take over the starting C position for the Wizards.

Who do you think the better pick-up is between Blatche and Gooden? Both of them are availabe in my 10 team, H2h, standard cats + FTM. I think Gooden is really solid when he gets playing time and they are pretty thin in the front court with Haywood gone. I guess I could see both of them getting pretty equal time on the court. I think Drew is a better rebounder but Blatche has a nice all around game. Which one would you take? I went ahead and picked-up Gooden yesterday but I could drop him for Blatche.

I think the Wizards might try and raise Blatche's trade value so they can get rid of him in the offseason :wink:

I think Blatche has more value than Gooden. As stated above already, he is 23 and they are going to try and develop him.
