EG for Tatum 

Post#1 » by Derowry » Sat Jan 13, 2018 9:25 pm

14 man league, got offered following trades:

EG for Tatum

EG + Thad for LA and Justin Holiday

EG + Rolo for Roco and JV

I think first is the best because tatum been a beast and my fg% and boards need some help (I have an injured gobert) - but even though EG a specialist he does help with threes. Second I dont think is worth it, and 3rd could be ok but gotta hope for Roco to get back to early season and JV to stay hot, offloading Rolo is nice though.

Thoughts?

EG for Tatum is the best IMHO.

Assuming that you mean LaMarcus Aldridge, Justin Holiday is going to be lost in the mix in the Guard/Wing rotation in Chicago. It would then become more of a Gordon+Thad for LMA. Is that a good trade to you?

EG + RoLo for Covington + JonasV? JonasV is a low end Big that won't consistently contribute. Covington, I think will bounce back and he's more of a buy low type candidate. At worst, he's a 3D specialist and the Sixers have a solid schedule in the Fantasy Playoffs.

I would take EG + Rolo for RoCo and JV. Covington is a pretty elite fantasy asset being that he gives you over 2.5 threes per game and 1.5 steals, 1 blk per game. Yes EG gives you more points than Covington, but JV scores slightly more than Rolo (although inconsistently.) RoLo's arrow is neutral, JV's arrow is pointing up compared to the start of the season. You will definitely gain boards, as RoLo isn't exactly known to crash the boards. Your FT% won't suffer at all, because Roco and JV both are excellent from the stripe. Overall, a very good trade.
