I just traded Wade,Kaman and Ellis for Gasol, Kevin Martin and LB. I needed to get some threes and I was afraid of the heat shutting down Wade during playoff time. What do you guys think? Good trade or did I get robbed?

My team: (10 team h2h, 9 cats):
PG: Deron
SG: J. Johnson
G: K-mart
SF: Marion
PF: Sheed
F: Horford
C: Gasol
C: Chandler
Util: Battier
Util: Barbosa
BN: Diaw
BN: Hinrich
BN: Brand

I think you got the worst end of this deal...

I would say Wade and Kaman are the two best players, despite Wades injury concerns.

i like it. wade absolutely kills you in TOs, Kaman's numbers will go down when brand comes back (which he definitely should be for the playoffs) and i'm not sure how monta ellis is doing but i was never that high on him because Nelson has weird rotations. Although ellis could do well if the warriors play him more for their playoff push.

gasol seems to finally be hitting his stride. the blue light special has hovered around 10th overall when he wasn't injured. barbosa i've never been in love with but on the teams i have him on he has performed well. he might even get more time if the suns want to rest nash a bit for the playoffs and let barbosa play a little more.

i think you may take a small hit for the next couple weeks if wade is going to keep going off to try and will the heat to the playoffs but eventually they'll give up and you're team will be better in the playoffs.

thanks for the feedback. This was a buy low/sell high move for me, so hopefully it pans out. Kaman has been on fire all season and I don't see him keeping up his 18/14/3 blk stat line. Ellis and Barbosa have very comparable numbers except Barbosa hits a little over 2 treys a night. Any other opinions?
