Although i would rather have Biedrins and Granger, because they are sexier, Shard/Terry/Horford wins, one player rarely makes up the entire production of two. If team A played team B in a week of H2H or a full season of Roto, Team B would win.

Team B for sure. Biedrins isn't a great 9-cat player.

Shard and Terry are on song this season and Horford will get better.

Depends on the rest of Team A's roster. I'd rather have Granger then any of the other guys any day. Might have given a lot, but might also turnout ok if Team A is already solid.

Team B gains no matter what.

It always depends on who you are dropping and who the other team is going to pick up in the free agent market, which all goes back to how big is this league?

In my league we only have 5 starting spots, so I always try and do 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 trades to consolidate talent. If you have plenty of roster spots to play all those guys then team B wins, but in my league team A would probably win.

Pretty close... but depends on settings, cats and league type as always

Team B side looks better all-around especially if it's Roto, but H2H you always like the star power a guy like Granger brings, capable of breaking out any given day, which is HUGE in H2H.

So yeah, depends.

Thanks for the feedback.

The trade hasn't been finalized, but I am Team B. I wanted to accomplish a couple things here: 1) win on overall talent. 2) buy low on Horford. 3) get rid of Biedrins - he's the only thing standing between me and sure fire wins in FT%, just about every week. His TO's hurt, too. The other manager is hesitant to pull the trigger - as he should be - but he's the kind of guy who'll be swayed the first time Granger and Biedrins have monster games on the same night.

Oh, and I'm in a 12-team H2H league full of waiver-wire hawks. The best player avail is probably Beno Udrih (I might pick him up when he clears waivers) followed by Azuibuike, who doesn't do a thing for me. So, this trade would be a great way to deepen my squad, whereas the other team would have a hard time finding a replacement for the third player they send my way.
