This has been offered to me:

My:
Artest
Brook Lopez
Francisco Garcia
Andray Blatche

For:
Baron Davis
Emeka Okafor
Jarrett Jack (wouldn't get a game on my team)
Gilbert Arenas (don't expect him back at all)

Artest and Lopez are starters on my team. The other two just make up numbers, so the way I see it, it's Artest+Lopez for Davis+Okafor

Roto league where I lead FT% by a lot (.831%. 2nd place has .805%) so I can take the FT% that comes with Okafor in my stride.

Pull the trigger?

I'm thinking with Wallace out indefinitely, Okafor should see increase in everything.

Baron has no where to go but up. Still don't think he will finish the season as a top 20 like last year, but top 40 isn't a stretch.

Lopez is solid. Nothing will change.

Artest will go back to the bench once T-Mac comes back, and his ankle isn't 100%.

I might offer back Artest/Lopez/Blatche for Baron/Okafor/Arenas

I'd probably stand pat. Okafor is never going to be a great fantasy center. B Lopez is a fine fantasy center already.

Baron and Artest are almost a wash. Baron's not gonna be putting up great numbers. Garcia is a very handy 9-cat guy too.

I rejected it and offered back:

Artest/Lopez/Blatche
for
Baron/Okafor/Arenas

Once again, I don't expect Arenas to come back this year.

If he doesn't want that, then no deal.

The guy didn't accept, so I canceled the deal.

Another deal that I had offered awhile ago ended up getting accepted. Artest+Garcia for Okur.

Still leaves me in a bind (if not more of a bind) for 3's and Stls. But it now gives me greater flexibility when trying to trade Nowitzki.

Might target Granger.
