Help me get rid of Andrew Bogut 

Post#1 » by robertjanssen007 » Sat Dec 6, 2008 3:09 am

12 teams, H2H. Andrew Bogut has killed me this season. On average, he is the 181st most efficient player this season. I reached for him and selected him in the 5th round--Bucks fans convinced me over the summer that they were going to run their offence by him this season...and I listened to them. His free throw percentages have managed to get worse than ever, TOs are up, blocks are way down, his assists are down, and even his damn scoring is down. The only category where he's up is with rebounds. Most of all, his brutal FT% doesn't even give me a chance to win--he brings the whole team down when I play him.

With that in mind, help me trade him!

I offered Bogut for Horford straight up last month and it was rejected. Right now, I sent two moves (both probably won't go through): Bogut for Okafor and Bogut for Murphy (the latter one would be too nice).

I guess I'll post my team:

His value is as low as it is probably going to go. I think you have 3 options if neither of those trades are taken and I don't think they will.

* Throw in another player to make the deal more attractive and look for a better option. The 3 you are trading for don't offer all that much more than Bogut anyway. Magette is a pretty attractive player especially with the 3 positions throw him in with Bogut and see what you can net.

* Keep him until he does play some consitant basketball and then move him. He has the ability to do it, if it happens though that is another story.

* Waive him and pick up another player. Just count your losses and just throw him away. A bit drastic but sometimes it is the best way.

Bogut was just starting to hit his stride when he got hurt. Right now is the worst possible time to trade him. His numbers are going to go up.
When life hands you lemons, throw them at someone you don't like.
