Weird deal with Kevin Love 

Post#1 » by page » Thu Nov 22, 2012 7:06 pm

Hi! Someone offered me Kevin Love, just one day after his surprisingly early comeback. He wants Calderon, Asik and West for Kevin. I think it's mindblowingly good offer for me (maybe he's dazed by Calderon's recent performances). Nevertheless, do you see ANY question mark for me in this trade?
I'd have to pick two players from waivers, who should I take if it works?

Nice waivers:
J. Thompson, Hickson, Favors, Rubio, Barnes, Gee, Terry, Aminu, Vucevic

Here's my team:
PG: Paul, Curry, Conley, Calderon
SG/SF: Pierce, Thompson, Leonard, Ilyasova
PF/C: M. Gasol, Horford, Hibbert, West, Asik

i would take that **** and run. once lowry gets back into the flow calderons numbers will drop too. anyways this shouldnt even be a question, especially since aminu is still available in your league. how the hell is that even possible. you should pick him up right now and drop ilyasova. dude is averaging like 12/10 with over a steal and a block a game.

id also pick up thompson, i have him on my team and hes been quite good, especially when cousins decides to do something crazy and miss time. hes a solid player who will make up for a lot of the rebounds/blocks you lose with asik.

Take it and run.

I'd pick up Rubio and Thompson. Although Vucevic, Hickson, and Gee are all intriguing at this point.

Especially Gee with Irving out.

Don't know what that guy is smoking. There's absolutely no reason you shouldn't do that deal. West, Asik and Calderon (now that Lowry is back) are all borderline waiver wire caliber. Funny because I'd rather have Aminu and possibly Gee over ANY over the players you are trading.

I know this guy personally (most of us do know each other) and he's new to the game.. one poster on other fantasy forum told me it's such a terrible trade that I should reject it and offer someone better. I'm leaning towards it.
