Durant + Bosh for Amare + Love 

Post#1 » by Cares » Tue Dec 14, 2010 4:55 am

Who wins this trade? Clearly right now Love and Amare are playing out of their minds but I have a feeling they will come back to earth sooner or later.

Even if they come back to earth I think they're more valuable than Durant + Bosh.

I'd go with the Amare + Love package.

Bosh is just too much of a drop off in the Durant package to compensate any value loss to the Durant vs Amare/Love trade. The Amare+Love package gives you two 1st round fantasy players. Compared to the Durant+Bosh, where you get a 1st round and a 3rd round fantasy player.

If this is a H2H, you instantly get an pretty good margin at Reb/FG%/PTs with the Amare/Love package.

Even if Melo ends up with the Knicks, I can't see Amare dropping less than 24ppg (like what he averaged prior to this month). If there are guys who would have negative impact in their fantasy values it would be guys like Wilson Chandler, Gallinari and Fields.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Fanstasy wise it's not even close.

KLove and Stoudemire are beasting, Durant's fg% and Bosh's anemic 3rd option's stats make this a no-brainer.

^^^Co-signed. I don't see who would be dumb enough to give up Amare or Love right now for that package.
