Finally involved in a trade, make that two this week 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Thu Jan 12, 2012 4:03 pm

Trade 1:

Standard Yahoo H2H

Jarrett Jack
Wesley Matthews
For
Danny Granger

I picked MarShon Brooks up in free agency once the trade cleared. I had already been picking him up and release him a couple times a week.

I needed some change in the early season.

Roster:
Devin Harris
MarShon Brooks
John Wall
Danny Granger
Pau Gasol
Brandon Bass
Samuel Dalembert
Roy Hibbert
Monta Ellis
Markieff Morris
Jrue Holiday
Nicolas Batum
Eric Gordon

Trade 2:

Standard Yahoo Rotisserie
I have a 10 point lead over everyone.

Ricky Rubio
Jarrett Jack
For
Chris Paul

I picked Dorell Wright up in free agency. He had cleared waivers before my trade cleared. The person I was involved with a trade with dropped Jeff Teague to make room for acquiring the two players.

Roster:
Andre Miller
Paul Pierce
Wesley Matthews
Richard Jefferson
Al Horford
Tim Duncan
Roy Hibbert
Tyson Chandler
D.J. Augustin
Dorell Wright
Kyle Lowry
Dwyane Wade
Chris Paul

I don't like trade one. First, I don't think Granger is that much valuable than Matthews. Second, Wall and Granger on a team spells disaster.

For the second trade, I would personally veto the deal if I'm in your league.
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.

I've been trying to move John Wall. Big mistake on my part for drafting him. I selected him in a keeper league because of his potential but Washington is a mess right now. Danny Granger is beneficial to me because I needed another 3 and one that's going to produce.

Both trades have already cleared which is why I created this topic. Like both of you, I would've also vetoed traded 2, but I was surprised that it cleared.

iffy about acquiring granger, but it's a good gamble. trade 2 is smart (and certainly not veto worthy).
