What do you think?

I have beasley and could trade him for Turiaf ... is it worth it?

No, WTF? Turiaf is only a short term fix because of Biedrins going down, and even if Biedrins was down for the year, Beasley's ceiling is much higher than Turiaf's. Marion is probably on his way out which means more minutes and more production from Beasley... I still can't believe you're asking this.

What are you talking about? Biedrins never went down. Turiaf is just getting good minutes and blocking shots like a possessed mad man. Another guy who does nothing else but block shots like he is possessed is Chris Andersen in Denver.

EDIT: Alright, so Biedrins just went down, but Turiaf was still getting minutes when Biedrins was healthy. There is nothing to suggest that the same won't apply when Biedrins comes back. Like the poster above me said, if you need blocks, go for it. I have turiaf in one of my 12 team leagues just for the blocks. Beasley gives you nothing but pts and boards. I am assuming that this isn't a keeper league, his keeper status shouldn't come into the equation.

Turiaf is a beast.

He is more valuable overall than Beasley, even with a healthy Biedrins.

Pull the trigger on this one, and don't look back.

If it was a keeper league, then it's definitely a no.

Easy to trade Beasley away. He has been terrible this season,
