I would be hesitant to do this deal though, as Richardson and Miller are about 4th and 3rd round (respectively) value...so you're trading those picks for a 1st rounder and a guy on the waiver wire. It really depends on whether or not your head to head, but I probably wouldn't do it unless you're really desperate for scoring (which is the position it's easiest to get help at). You'll benefit from three-pointers in that trade, but lose in just about every other category, as neither Kobe or Bell are good defensive players on paper (by meaning they don't rack in steals/blocks/rebounds). All-in-all...I wouldn't do it in either H2H and especially not in Roto. Well Kobe is obviously the best player in the deal so at least you’d be getting that.

Kobe is a top 10 player and pairing him and Duncan together would give you a ridiculously strong nucleus. Duncan hasn't missed a game all year and his alleged bad foot didnt stop him from dropping 27 and 12 laast night. Sure you're taking a risk that TD might go down but if you can languish in 6th place with him, you can languish in 6th place without him... IMHO, I would make do that trade.

One question: where would Shareef Abdur-Rahim fit into the injured player list? anonymous: no way I'd make that trade for several reasons, #1 of which would be the fact that because Duncan's having foot problems and if he goes down you're screwed. Stromile Swift as your #1 center would be a nightmare from which it would be difficult to recover. Thanks for the mailbag!
