Need help in trades involving Lebron and now Gasol...

I'm in a pretty shallow league and I'm struggling.

My team is:
PG- Raymond Felton
SG- Ray Allen
G- Michael Redd
SF- Josh Howard
PF- Chris Bosh
F- Danny Granger
C- Andrew Bogut
C- Zydrunas Illgauskas
Util- Devin Harris
Util- Daniel Gibson
Util- Al Horford
Bench- Nazr Mohammed
Bench- Ronnie Brewer
Bench- Derek Fisher
Bench- Jason Terry

The trade is Redd and Granger for Lebron James.

I'd probably pickup Nate Robinson or TJ Ford who are both available.

Thoughts?

I'd do it without a doubt. In my league, the guy who had LBJ, rejected my offer of Bosh and T-Mac or Carter for James.

Yeah I'd do it.

Usually, to pry away a player like Lebron from somebody, you're giving up two of your best players. In risktaker's situation the guy didn't even accept. No surprise.

James packs a such a punch in one player, but thats not even it. The any-day potential to explode into a triple-double, is what makes him so valuable in head-to-head and Rotisserie.

yeah... for all the arguments about his free throw percentage, its hard to not want somebody who is:

#1 in ppg
45th in rpg (with a lot of the rebounding specialists ahead of him not even being taken in my league... guys like mcdyess, foster, reggie evans)
#8 in assists (as a SF!)
#11 in steals
hell, he's even top 50 in blocks

I realize he's not the "best" player in fantasy... but the guy offers the total package, is fairly durable, and I love the chance to build a team around him.

Well he backed off the trade.

Looking to make another move:

Gasol for Ilgauskas and Ray Allen.

I'd still add Nate or TJ.

Thoughts?
