So this is a yahoo standard 9 cat 12 team league, with 4 keepers for next year,

I am Currently in 1st place by 9 games with a 58-30-2 record

The trade in question is Gortat+Horford for Paul George+ Monroe

My current team pre trade is

PG
Knight
Calderon
Rose

SG/SF
J.R. Smith
Wes Matthews
Durant
Hayward
Marion
Barnes

PF/C
Horford
Kaman
Noah
Gortat

This trade leaves me very thin up front. It was more a trade for next year since my team is jacked this year

noteable C eligable FA's are Koufos, Splitter, Drummond, Okafor, Dalembert, Zeller (with Varajao injury), Valanciunas, Patterson or Zaza

I have a few questions...

1) who should keepers be 4/5- Durant, George, Rose, Noah, Monroe (leaning towards Monroe due to age, health, and considering this a down year)
2) who is expendable so I can trade them for a C
3) with my team make up, should I drop Hayward for one of the FA's.

George side by a mile

Dunno how you could keep Monroe over Noah. Monroe simply can't shoot, and has gotten worse around the basket every year. http://www.hoopdata.com/player.aspx?name=Greg%20Monroe

w/o Asik Noah was/is gonna see a boost in minutes no matter what. He's in great shape & in his prime.

Koufos is the best of those you mentioned. Shop JR Smith hard.

The only reasons I am considering Monroe over Noah is Noah has had some health concerns previously, with Rose back he wont be distributing the ball as much, and without the assists his production is more like a top 50 player instead of top 15. that and the age difference. but you are right, Noah isnt that much older, Is healthy NOW and I might as well wait until Rose is back so I can see how Noah produces

Its a fair offer but I like George and Monroe easily

Durant
Noah
Horford
Rose

Would be my keepers

George and Monroe if you do the trade

Doesn't Yahoo have a "Are you SURE You Want to Accept this Trade?" prompt?
