[NBA] Would this trade improve my team?

[hZm]

T. McGrady for L. Hughes/K.Martin(SG)/Z. Pachulia

I offered this trade to my friend, he said that he's strongly considering it. Likely he'll accept it.

But would it improve my team?

J. Kidd
L. Hughes
J. Nelson
S. Marion
L. Odom
C. Butler
C. Boozer
S. Dalembert
R. Alston
Z. Pachulia
K. Martin
S. Swift
J. Smith
D. Harris

There are some good FA's out there to pick up. Gomes being one of them.

That looks like a solid team. How many teams are in your league?

T-Mac might get injured again too.

If you're getting TMAC, you need to split your winnings with the other guy!

That's a STEAL.

Especially if it's a roto league.

Hughes is as big of a risk as TMAC, but when healthy, isn't worth HALF as much as TMAC.

The other 2 are throw aways and shouldn't even be a factor in the trade.

[Helljumper]

I'm confused. Are you getting T-Mac or trading him away?

Ok. now help me

my team right now

PG: Chris Paul
SG: TMAC
G : Morris Peterson
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: C Villanueva
F : Antawn Jamison
C : Chris Kaman
C : Nenad Krstic
Utility: Troy Murphy
Utility: Kmart
Bench: Bobby Simmons, Jordan Farmar , Grant Hill

My Team is pretty solid up n down. But Im not satisfied until i get kobe b/c having a player on your fantasy team taht you can watch every game just makes the experience that much more fun to play fantasy. Also, my team lacks in assit as C Paul is my only assists guy.
Basically, I accepted a trade.

I give up Carmelo and TMAC for Kobe and Speedy Claxton. Am i getting juiced? Of course. But i get my favorite player + my assists and steals guy in claxton? What you think?

New Team
PG: Chris Paul
SG: Kobe
SF: Morris Peterson
SF: Antawn Jamison
PF: Troy Murphy
F: C Villanueva
C: Kaman
C: Krstic
Util: Speedy Claxton
Util: K Mart
Bench: Bobby Simmons, Jordan Farmar , Grant Hill

Is there a big drop off in my team to satisfy me wanting to get kobe that bad?

[Massacre]

I'd do it.

I took 'Mac in the 2nd, and expect him to have a big comeback year.

you're getting mac right?

do it... his value is at an all time low right now.

if you personally don't like t-mac because of the risk factor... think of it as an investment.

trade for t-mac, keep him and reep the benefits for 1-2 months... his value rises... than you can trade him for another 1st rounderish type of player with much less risk.

the 3 players you are trading can never get you a 1st rounder...

DO IT.

but than again.... can you give up 3 players and fill the 2 empty spots that are created?

if there are decent FA's do it...

after thet-mac trade, i suggest trading away marion for bosh/+guard or brand/+guard. to fill the gap. and it looks like you need help with 3pts so try and trade marion for a stud PF and a 3 pt happy guard.

michael redd would be an excellent choice.

i have brand+redd on one of my teams. i love this combination, one of my favs in fantasy this year.

check it out....

that 1-2 combination gives you 1) solid fg%, 2) solid ft%, 3) solid points, 4) solid 3pts with redd, 5) solid blks with brand , 6) solid rbs with brand, 7) very little turnovers. the only weakness is stls, but even that isn't bad.

if i can give you another suggestion is to trade away boozer... he will mess up your FT%... if you wanna win you gotta compete in every cat... and besides he is injury prone... boozer for okur would be awesome for your team.. since you lack 3's
