[Franchise 60]

Just made a trade in my non keeper league. h2h 9 cat's 10 starters standard.

My roster was:
Arenas
Redd
Rashard Lewis
Mike Miller
Okur
Darko
Josh Howard
TJ Ford
Theo Ratliff
Mike Bibby
Bonzi Wells
Joel Pryzbilla
Grant Hill
Jose Calderon

I traded Redd/Okur/Ford for Camby/Monta Ellis/Devin Harris

I had way to many swingmen and was struggling. I still have a lot of 3's, pretty much giving up on assists, and I think Ellis/Harris aren't bad fits with Gilbert. I think my team is more balanced, took a shot on Camby staying healthy.

What do you think?

my wade

his manu and tim thomas...

right now, this is a good deal. but manu is playing out of his mind and can NOT play better, and the same is true for tim thomas.

[Vyse]

horrible deal, manu's great but look at the sked.

I traded Deron Williams for Gilbert Arenas. Any thoughts?

[Vyse]

bad.

[OtisBlue415]

If it doesn't work out, I still got a good squad:

PG
Gilbert Arenas
(Was - PG)
SG
Joe Johnson
(Atl - PG,SG)
G
Josh Smith
(Atl - SG,SF)
SF
Kevin Durant
(Sea - SG,SF)
PF
Kevin Garnett
(Bos - SF,PF)
F
Rasheed Wallace
(Det - PF,C)
C
Dwight Howard
(Orl - C)
BN
Monta Ellis
(GS - PG,SG)
BN
T.J. Ford
(Tor - PG)
BN
Luol Deng
(Chi - SG,SF)

I'm the one that proposed the trade by the way. An ultimate buy low/sell high trade with an extremely high risk of blowing up in my face. But I wanted to gambool.

schedule?

not sure i understand what you mean...unless you're looking 20 games down? Or are you referring to this specific week (4 games for wade...a reason why he's not playing.)

Trade sounds fine, but why even go for Devin Harris if you're gonna tank in assists? Would've rather taken another value player that would help you in cats you need. Can prob still trade Harris at some point.

-No. Hehe, Manu plus way more than Thomas maybe.

Hmm....Certainly can't knock it, but it's a bit risky. Also a team-dependent trade. Agent Zippo is amazing fanatasy wise when up to speed though.

is it a lock that varejao won't play at all this season? I got him with my last pick and thought he might be a decent pickup if he starts playing in a few weeks. It's not like there's a lot of quality left at that point.
