I'm having trouble making a decision on this one....

My team:
PG: Jose Calderon (PG), Mike Bibby (PG), Shawn Livingston (PG)
SG: Leandro Barbosa (SG), Jerryd Bayless (PG/SG), Jarret Jack (PG/SG), Sonny Weems (SG)
SF: Luol Deng (SF), Yi Jianlian (SF/PF)
PF: Amare Stoudamire (PF/C), Carl Landry (PF), Brandon Wright (PF)
C: Yao Ming (C), Tim Duncan (PF/C) Jermaine O'Neal (PF/C)

Taxi Squad (4 max): Brandon Rush, Demar DeRozan, Donte Greene, Mboute

I have to clear roster to bring guys up and my taxi is full.

THE TRADE:

I trade: Barbosa (SG), 2nd overall 2010 (Turner), and the 22nd overall pick

I receive: Ellis (PG/SG), 8th overall pick and 10th overall pick, and the 4th waiver pick at season start.

I like my bigs although I'm thin at SF. My guard situation could go any way depending on where Livingston ends up, and if one of Jack/Calderon is traded. I like Ellis' versatility there, and this is a no turnover league.

If Bosh leaves, I will probably bring up DeRozan (drop Weems/Wright/Bibby), then drop Mboute. These moves make room for 8 and 10 on my taxi. I also have to make room for my waiver picks (1 and 4... hoping for Splitter to come over or Amir Johnson to replace Bosh).

If I make the trade, I would hope to draft 2 of Aldrich (Monroe will be gone at 8), Henry, Whiteside.

So... thoughts?

No brainer, accept this deal.

Great deal for you, pull the trigger.

Hard to see the downside here. Looks like the other guy is a big believer in Turner.

Take it!

Done.

Thanks for the confidence boost guys. The guy I traded with now has picks 1,2 and 4 in the rookie draft and is looking to add Wall, Turner, and W. Johnson... exciting rookie crop there for him. Last season he traded Granger and his trash for 4 first rounders (15 team league).

Now what to do with 8 & 10... I have an offer for 10... 19 and a first rounder next year... think I will do that too (I have almost as much faith in a Willie Warren or Larry Sanders as I do in a Henry or Whiteside)

I'll pull the trigger on 19+1st for 10 and then draft Aldrich at 8 and James Anderson at 19
