It's just 10 teams. I'm pretty sure there are guys better than Shved and DeAndre. And I'd drop DeAndre.
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.

DeAndre is a poor free throw shooter. It is best if you have guy or two that has a big positive impact in that category if you're going to play him. He fills a niche in blocks. It looks like you'll be fine in blocks with Sanders and Lopez though. If there's a better player that could help you then go ahead and pick that player up. If Jordan would actually help another team (which I doubt, because in my 12 team league he's been a fringe player) you could hang on to him, however.

I'd trade him to whoever has guys like Dwight, Josh Smith, or Rondo.

DeAndre has value, especially in a H2H.

if youre really set on dropping him, but want someone who basically gives you the same stats with less fta, go with drummond. hes gonna get more and more burn as the season progresses. in december he averaged close to 9 and 9 with 2+ blocks a game in 20 minutes. his ft's arent great, but he really doesnt get to the line that much.

Adding/dropping players who have favorable schedules or are hot to play short term for you each week or two

Add/dropping your worst player every day

So you get 7 games a week out of your worst roster slot (maybe on average t140 per game) versus 2-4 games a week out of your roster slot but who is a better overall player (maybe on average t120 per game)

Streaming is 100% broken in H2H leagues

Most good leagues input a limit of moves or total GP per week but chances are you can still get an extra 3-4 games a week. One player has to be a lot better than another replacement level player to make up for it.

Drop Jordan. Streaming is awesome. I personally save two spots for streaming. Much more valuable that way that if they were occupied by a waiver wire player.
