Getting Josh Smith in exchange for my JJ Hickson + Eric Gordon and Wesley Johnson

Is it a fair trade?

(playing roto in a 14 team league)

Based on the planets speculation that JJ Hickson is the next coming of Chuck Norris, This trade looks fair. However, I would vote to Veto if it were in my league.

I think you made a good a trade. Wesley Johnson might start, but it will probably take him a while to get rolling, especially with Martell Webster and Corey Brewer also vying for playing time. I also think Eric Gordon is slightly overrated. He played well in FIBA, but FIBA performances don't necessarily translate back in the NBA. He helps in 3's and points, but he won't do much in the defensive stats or in assists.

On the flip side you got a guy who helps you tremendously in stls and blks. If you grab a few more guys who specialize in those categories, you'll be pretty tough to beat there. For instance, if grabbed Iggy + Javale McGee (later in the draft).

But since you did give up some decent role players, you'll need to find some help off the waivers. Is Paul George, Austin Daye, or Rodrigue Beaubois available in your league? If so, these guys might be able to replace Wesley Johnson without your team missing a beat.

As for replacing Eric Gordon - if Marco Bellinelli or Barbosa is available - they might be able to help, as they are still slightly under-the-radar.

Hope that helps!

Good luck dude!
