Trade Advice

I have a few trades on the table, 9 cat standard h2h league

I give Monta Ellis
I get Paul Pierce and Danny Green

I give Scola and Mayo
I get Horford and Afflalo

My team is Russell Westbrook Marc Gasol Brandon Jennings Anthony Davis Monta Ellis Danilo Gallinari Carlos Boozer O.J. Mayo Luis Scola Kawhi Leonard Greivis Vasquez Byron Mullens

Keep Ellis, and keep Scola and Mayo.
If you had any chance in FG%, maybe I'd let Ellis go but since you have Westbrook, Ellis, Gallinari, Jennings and Mullens all in the same team, it's pointless.
Scola will have a great year, and Mayo will lead the NBA in 3's which makes for a super specialist in points and 3's.
Just go with the flow...

I wouldn't do any of the trades

Monta for Pierce + Hayward? That might be proposal? I would then drop Kawhi

[Bank Shot]

Pierce > Monta so that's a no brainer. Monta isn't the same fantasy player he was in GS. Pierce is an auto top 30 guy. He isn't sexy but he is very good. That's a huge steal, accept that now.

The second is also one sided for you. Horford is >>>>>> anyone in that trade. Mayo will come back to earth, the guys not going to average 4 3s a game for the season while shooting 49%. Dirk will eat into his value when he's back too. Horford is an auto top 25 guy. This trade is a very nice sell high on Mayo.

With Monta, I'm worried I'd be losing too much on assists and steals and not get much return with Pierce coming, except he may help with rebounds.

I feel like I wouldn't be upgrading much from Scola to Horford or OJ to Afflalo. Those two players have been doing actually much better than expected.

Anyone else agree with Bank Shot, I do see where he's coming from and Dirk may eat into his value.

[Bank Shot]

I don't think you lose much when trading Monta. Pierce gets you better %s (he's shooting badly right now but they'll be better), tos, 3s, rebounds. Pts should be a wash, more asts with Monta, more steals with Monta but Pierce is no slouch there either. Pierce is simply a much superior fantasy player.

With regards to Scola and Horford. Here are their rankings for the last 3 years (includes Horford's injury year):

Scola: 150, 73, 78
Horford: 33, 13, 19

Horford is a solid second round guy, Scola is generally a poor fantasy player due to his lack of defensive stats. Unless you think you think Scola has improved significantly and Horford has declined significantly, its a massive, massive upgrade. Scola has been good, but its been 5 games. Established guys generally don't have huge swings in value, and I don't see it here.

I'd take Mayo over Afflalo but there's too big a gap between Scola and Horford.

Don't forget u would have to drop a good player as well in that trade who may be better for your team than green

Bank Shot - It is true Horford is rated much better than Scola, but statistically Scola/Mayo > the other two players.

Tooth Fairy - Is Pierce/Green > Monta/Kawhi (I would be dropping him so I might as well consider him in the trade). I don't even think Pierce/Hayward > Monta/Kawhi if he accepts my counter.

I'm so lost with these two trades, not too sure what to do.

Those are lateral moves IMO.

I am high on Kwali

Should I just do Monta for Pierce? I was hoping to target Gay or Batum but those trades are getting shot down.

That would be ok
