I have 1 open roster spot left and have to decide between keeping Elfrid Payton or Evan Fournier? I'm struggling now, before I thought it was Payton hands down but now with the Oladipo trade, I'm worried Fournier is gonna be a 32+mpg 20ppg guy now. But Elfrid is much more likely to double and triple dip so there's significant value there. Am I over thinking this and just stick with Elfrid? That's what my gut tells me...
Also, with KD going to GSW and now having my 2 best players on the same team, would you look to trade either KD or Draymond? Which 1 has more value and who would you target in return?
I offered KD or Draymond for Kyrie and got turned down and I offered KD for Paul George straight up and got "I'll think about it". I don't want to make a trade just to break the 2 up though, as I have no idea how it plays out so the last thing I'm trying to do is sell low on either. I just have no idea how to gauge the proper value now.
KD more than likely isn't a 28/9 guy in GSW now, but Draymond is still likely to be a triple double threat each night. So if I can get a star back for KD I think I'd pull the trigger but I'm not sure what constitutes as good value now. I could probably get Isaiah Thomas or someone along those lines as a "star" but I'm much more interested in the Paul George/Blake Griffin star status guys.
Any help/thoughts/suggestions or whatever is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Re: Dynasty dilemma..
Assists are harder to find in the waiver wire, than points. Without looking at the bonus points for scoring double doubles, your team should be above average on assists with Wall, Dragic, and Payton. Also, add to that the possibility of Draymond having better numbers in the rebounds and assists cats. Payton will also help you more in the steals category. So choosing between Fournier and Payton, i'd pick Payton as an easy choice. And yes, he'd likely average more double doubles than Fournier.
Fournier, though he is projected to start at the SG spot, he will only help you with points. Also, Hezonja is someone to keep an eye on. And he could spend the season splitting minutes between the 2 and the 3 spots.
On KD, it would be hard to gauge his value right now. It is almost certain that his stats will go down, but it all depends if everyone in Golden State can stay healthy. The offer for Paul George is decent, but it should be considered that Indiana now has better ball players in Teague, Thad Young, and Al Jefferson, so PG's owner could also be thinking of the same thing.
If I am in your situation, and will need to move KD, I'd look to deal him for legit double double guys - Drummond, Cousins, even Whiteside plus a filler. That way, you'll be sure of double doubles almost every game while also augmenting your thin frontcourt. And the change in the hack-a-shaq rule could only help these big men. Maybe you can also try Kawhi Leonard straight-up, but I won't be surprised if it would be a hard no. If I had to add someone, it would be Jabari Parker, as he is mediocre in everything else. KD + Jabari for Kawhi and let's say a mid-tier big man who can score double doubles wouldn't be that bad, IMO. But you can also try a wait and see approach on KD. The only problem is, with all of GSW's players healthy, his stock will be in continuous decline and it could be harder to sell him later.
Draymond, though his points could go down, his other stats should go up, notably the assists and rebounds. It only helps his stock by being a constant triple-double threat.
Just my thoughts. Good luck.
