Accept or decline? Standard 8-cat.

Curry
Batum

Ibaka
Chandler
Crawford
Parsons
Lillard
Aldrige
Millsap
Garnett

I was also just offered Lowry for Lillard.

Reject. You are fine with Lillard and Curry and the trade leaves you thin at SF. Add to that Batum is the better player.

I don't think he's fine at PG, but he can hold off there. He's not desperate, so he should hold out for equal or > value. It's fairly close but Lowry's stock is way down, while Batum's was soooo up in the beginning. He's just tryna c atch you slipping. Batum is an elite SF, top 20 most likely if not better.

I'd use Crawford/Aldridge as bait for a better PG/slightly worse PF in a 2-for-2.

Do you guys think Millsap for Lowry would be a good deal?

Lowry is hurt, why are you in such a rush to trade for him?

He's only projected to be out for like another week or so, and I'm thinking maybe I can get him cheaper because he's injured now. I'm doubting Millsap for Lowry would work if he was healthy right now. I'm really interested in this trade because of roster balance. I have only 2 PGs, but 5 big men.

Not only is Lowry hurt, he may get hurt again, or he may t ake a while to get up to speed, hurting you in, say, FG% and TOs in the meantime.

Trading for him is fine, but drive a steeper bargain. Bigs are super valuable. Don't just look at your needs.

And wtf is standard? Roto or h2h? Jeez that annoys the hell out of me.

Ok but Milsap is a good player and Lowry has been hurt 2 or 3 times already. Wasn't Milsap like. Top 20 player last year?

Hmm...what about any of Parson/T Chandler/Garnett? I'm thinking of offering all three, in three separate deals of course.

All those would be good for you given your needs
