Roto or H2H? Standard 9 cats? How many keepers is each team allowed to keep? I can take a short sot without knowing this assuming it is standard 9 cats

Team A lost big time.Each player he sends had a better season than the players he received.Since all players in his side of the deal are close to age,there is not a difference in terms of upside either(if anything Iggy and Barb(assuming if Gentry stays on Phoenix) hold more upside than Emeka and Felton in terms of fantasy production) Both Felton and Emeka have major weaknesses in their games(Felton^s fg% and lack of 3's and Okafor's 59% ft shooting on 4.6 fta ) which they havent improved over the time and it seems highly unlikely that they will improve in those regards.

It is a wash for Team B currently but since all the players he received are young and have plenty of upside,I think he will win in this deal in long term.IMO Lopez and Iggy can be top-30 players and Horford can be top-35 player in the near future so ,despite giving up Kobe,he might benefit from the deal in long term.

Team C wins by a good margin.I'm very high on Lopez but not so much on Mayo.He seems to be like an inefficient volume scorer .Kobe is still 6th ranked player and he will be top-10 performer for at least another 2 years.Barbosa,despite sucking badly in the first half of the season,is still ranked better than Mayo for the season (63rd to 85th).Lopez is going to ber damn good but not good enough to justify giving up Kobe and Barbosa for him and Mayo.

Team D loses. Like I said,I'm not a big fan of Mayo's game.Horford is better fantasy producer than him now and IMO will be as such in the future.I see Mayo's upside as S-jax of this year with lesser assists/rebounds(something like 5 apg/4 rpg) and S-jax is still behind of Horford in overall rankings of this year (50th to 45th)
