Big trade involving Kyrie Irving and Carmelo Anthony 

Post#1 » by intl » Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:21 am

I'm in a 11 team standard, head to head league. My roster is as follows:

PG Kyle Lowry, Tor PG Draft
SG Paul Pierce, Bos SF, SG DTD Draft
SF Carmelo Anthony, NY SF, PF Draft
PF Gerald Wallace, Bkn SF, PF DTD Draft
C Jonas Valanciunas, Tor C Free Agency
G Luke Ridnour, Min PG, SG Free Agency
F Kyle Korver, Atl SG, SF Free Agency
UTIL Kevin Love, Min PF, C Draft
UTIL Dion Waiters, Cle SG Draft
UTIL Jeff Teague, Atl PG Trade
Bench Jrue Holiday, Phi PG Draft
Bench Amar'e Stoudemire*, NY PF, C O Draft
Bench Nene, Wsh C, PF DTD Free Agency

My team's been injured but is finally starting to get healthy. I was offered Kyrie Irving and Tyreke Evans for Carmelo and Teague. His team is as follows:

PG Kyrie Irving*, Cle PG O Draft
SG Tyreke Evans, Sac PG, SG, SF Draft
SF Kawhi Leonard*, SA SF, SG O Draft
PF Zach Randolph, Mem PF Draft
C Byron Mullens, Cha PF, C Free Agency
G Kemba Walker, Cha PG, SG Draft
F Glen Davis, Orl PF, C Draft
UTIL J.J. Redick, Orl SG Draft
UTIL Tayshaun Prince, Det SF Free Agency
UTIL Jose Juan Barea, Min PG, SG Free Agency
Bench Andrew Bynum*, Phi C O Draft
Bench Monta Ellis, Mil PG, SG Draft
Bench Nate Robinson, Chi PG, SG Free Agency

I think I have leverage here because his team has some major injuries. The question is, should I reach for something along the lines of Monta Ellis, Kyrie and Tyreke for Carmelo, Teague, Ridnour and Korver? Should I take the trade he proposed? Or deny it?

I like having versatile PG's on my teams because they can get be steals, points, assists, 3's and FT%. So, If I can somehow manage to get 3 pg's back for 2 (Ridnour being a rent until Rubio returns), that works well for me.
