if your friend rejected cp3 for davis then his team is probably built around cp3 and he cant afford to lose the assists. theres no reason to add value in a davis/cp3 swap, both are top 5 guys.

if you believe in turner and his shot, then hes a better ft% and fg% player. i think regardless turner will be better for ft% since Korvers super high ft% is not as effective since he never gets fouled as a 3pt specialist. youd be losing a ton of threes for sure, although kmart and liillard is huge amount plus all of your other guards and forwards are hitting at least 1.5 threes a game.

also if you need more rebounds and blocks why would you trade anthony davis?? when jefferson comes back you'll get a huge boost there.

Help please. 13 team, 9 cat.

Jose Calderon
Trey Burke
Jeremy Lin
Jeff Green
Carmelo Anthony
Shawn Marion
Josh Smith
Terrence Jones
Rudy Gay
Markieff Morris
Miles Plumlee
Al Horford
Larry Sanders

New in fantasy. Suggestions for improvements? I'm thinking I'm losing on FG% and TOs. Trade melo and/or Lin? For who though?

Is Sanders worth stashing? And Burke worth holding on to? WW and FA are slim, only Ariza, Nash, Meeks, Henson, mo Williams, Gallo, Lou Williams are available. What to do?

Also, I only have Green as SG. What type of SG do I need? Who do I shop for it? Thanks in advance!

yes burke should be back within the next 2 weeks and sanders is definitely worth stashing, keep them both. its mostly just the combo of gay+melo that will kill your fg%, trade one of them for sure. im not a smoove fan unless youre punting ft% either.

probably try to package gay+smith for an elite player, i wouldnt be surprised if someone gave up first round talent because of the name recognition.

Depends what you're after. Rudy is hot garbage and smith also has a horrid FG percentage.
I would do it.
I think once kobe comes back pays game will improve.

Another one, how about gay & smith for korver & Ryan Anderson? I need another SG and C, and improve my FG %. Thanks for the help!

I would not make either of those trades. If you need to improve your fg% you shouldn't be targeting guys like beal and ryno. simply getting rid of gay right now will improve your fg%, but I don't think it's smart long term, especially since the guys you are getting back have worse or comparable fg%

Rose and Jimmy Butler both on the waver wire.. could probably afford to wait with Rose if he comes back in 2 months.. Butler worth it? Not really a deep league.. Dejaun Blair on the wire, Tony Wroten, Shaun Livingston and Patrick Beverly all on the wire.. My team is pretty solid and im comfortably making the playoffs I think.. I really waant to sit on Rose and hope he comes back but I dont know.. probably not a good idea? Lol What about Jimmy Butler? Not getting amazing production out of him.. dont thiink its worth a waiiver grab (I'm number 1).. probably gonna hope he clears waivers and grab him.. see what reports say in a couple days!

TL:DR
Are Rose and Butler a waste of a number 1 waiver priority in a 10 man league, not exremely deep.. Dejuan Blair and Patrick Beverly are probably the best available pickups.. which arent even needed on my team

Rose is out for a while. Dont even bother with him.

Rose should be gone for the next 4-6 months. Anyone adding him right now is really praying for that one.

Drafted Rose in round 1.

I'm still fine as Love, Davis, Westbrook, Thompson, Hayward, Hordford and others are on my team (and I have Rondo in the pipeline). Right now I'm leading the standings and should beat the 2nd with at least 5:4 (right now its 7:2).

My question: I'm gambling on Rondo and T.Harris already and Bledsoe is on my team as well. Should I still keep Rose as I should look at my playoff run only?
