Trading Marion? 

Post#1 » by kiz5 » Sun Feb 3, 2008 2:32 pm

Going...
Marion
Jeff Foster
Kyle Lowry

Coming...
Iverson
Durant
Al Jefferson


Current team:
PG - B. Davis, Tinsley, Lowry
SG - V. Carter, J. Richardson, R. Davis
SF - Jefferson, Artest, Bargnani
PF - Marion, Okafor, Jeff Foster
C - Duncan, Darko

I'm currently leading the league thanks to a few trades that have worked in my favor. I've dumped FT%, and Turnovers. My highest FT% is Bargnani (81.2), Jefferson (80.0), and Carter (79.4). Considering going after Howard too, as the owner wants to trade him for whatever reason.

I'm someone that'd usually rather a superstar, over a bunch of stars, but with the strength of my team (75-41-1, 12 team, 14 player), I'm thinking about sending Marion elsewhere for a package. One like this, might get me thinking. Also, this is a trade I'm considering proposing, and not one that has been sent to me. I just like sending out trades to get people thinking, especially one like this.

Any thoughts?

Durant absolutely murders your FG%... I'd avoid him if your going the way of high FG%, low FT% team

i was going to say the same thing.

i'd either try to get a similarly ranked player who might not have as good positive stats but doesn't hurt you as much.

or you can make the deal and package durant and another player like ricky davis, bargnani (if he starts to heat up) for an even better player. durant's name is pretty valuable although his stats don't really support it yet.

you already have an interesting mix of good fg/bad ft and vice versa on your roster

i'd be suprised if the owner gave you 3 great players for 1 bonafide stud, and 2 waiver wire fill ins
