Just sold high on Kobe, bad move?

Traded Kobe and Jrich for CP3, I'm starting to regret it now. The man is on a mission to score his ass off this year and that wrist injury hasn't slowed him down at all.

Providing you've got plenty of scoring and enough rebounds to offset Kobe, it's a good trade. You double your assists and steals. And get a good Assist/To ratio if you have that catagory.

Kobe is looking like a beast, and I'm not so sure he will slow down too much this year. Obviously, I don't expect him to keep scoring 29-30 ppg, but around 25-26 at seasons end is about where I would predict him to be at.

Just depends on your team. All things equal, I think it's a decent trade for you though. I don't think it's a bad for you, and has potential to be a great trade for you depending on your team.

Yea, what stl705 said. If your team is already one of the league leaders in scoring then it's a good trade. But, I would've tried to make a run at Kevin Durant with him currently averaging more points than him atm.

I sorely needed a pg, because Deron is the only pg I have. I've been getting killed in assists and steals. I was a leader in points, but I probably won't be in the upper enchelon now that Kobe's gone.

This is my team make up now.


Deron Williams
Joe Johnson
Chris Paul
Richard Jefferson
Dirk Nowitzki
Kris Humphries
Derrick Favors
Chris Kaman
Ray Allen
Evan Turner
Marcin Gortat
Marc Gasol
Carlos Delfino
Derrick Williams

You definitly should draft more PG's next year! lol. But yea, I can get behind the trade. You probably won't win in points anymore but at least you''ll take every other category.
