I'm in an 8 team league currently in 1st by about 2 games. I have Derozan and someone just dropped nick young. I currently have the top waiver priority and and debating dropping derozan for him.

My team is

PG
Deron Williams
Nash
Lowry
Jennings

SG / SF
Derozan
Iggy
Josh Smith
Granger

PF/C
Scola
Marc Gasol
Pau Gasol
Brand
Harrington

I dropped Manu to pick of derozan after injury. I dropped Frye for harrington because frye was benched. Just want to know what to do

Ive offered plenty of trades for derozan and Scola but no ones biting + nick young seems appealing. The only thing that worries me is the coaching change.

I am flopping TO's but cant seem to win either % due to poor shooting, dominating every other cat every week

Deronzan.

Reasons:
- you have the luxury to be patient with him being in the first place.
- you got guys who can neutralize your perimeter guys' poor FG%

30 games of manu >>>>>>>>> 66 games of derozan

so you think I should just pick up manu again and tough it out?

not necessarily. if no one else will pick him up you dont need to pick him up either. but you want to be the first to pick him up so don't be shy about grabbing him when his return date comes near

so i think you should grab him in a couple of weeks.

def dont burn no. 1priority on n. young.

honestly derozan/young is the worst player on your orster. since you're in first place upside is more important than steady production, which only offers further incentive for you to grab manu

tl;dr: hold onto derozan (or pick him up for young once he clears fa; it's a lateral move) but grab manu soon
