I just sent this guy an offer with me giving away lebron and rafer for the big ticket kg, and chris bosh. I mean lebron for kg is fair and then aslton for bosh is just insane. I sent it and i didn't hope for it to get accepted so i was going to offer lebron and deron williams. I had been looking to trade lebron, not that i was dissapointed, but i needed boards and now i got em. I just didn't want to lose pts, ft% and all the scoring cats like fgm, ftm, and some of the %. This will help my ft% also. I think that i am in line to beat the number one team. Ok... enough of that, who do you guys think is worth looking to trade for, for stls and ftm (tos dont matter cause i will never win that). i am looking to unload my assists for some of those stats. I have tj ford, mo williams and brandon roy. I also have deron, monta, jack but i want to keep them unless the trade is one sided. I was thinking guys like caron butler. If you guys have any ideas thanks. Also how did the nets and suns game go for 320 points. Thats crazy. I had one guy in that game, and the guy i'm playing is a suns fanatic and had nash, bell, diaw, barbosa, and also kidd on the nets. Kidd is a beast and i have a lot of respect for him. 38, 14, 14 will hurt me but its all good. If only the warriors had some games like this. guys i just made the best trade ever.

I am in 10 teams R.league. Right now, I am weak on the ast/steal/block side It's always good to have 2 to 1 trade but it cannot help to improve my weak stats. I also need to drop someone Any suggestions? Someone is offering Boris Diaw+Zach randolph for my Rashard Lewis. I am in 10 teams R.league. Right now, I am weak on the ast/steal/block side

It’s always good to have 2 to 1 trade but it cannot help to improve my weak stats. I also need to drop someone

Any suggestions?

Overall he hasn't been awful and I'm happily in first place even with him under performing. But I can't say I'm not concerned a bit - he hasn't hit the 20 point mark in a month. 3 of the last 6 games didn't even see him score 10 points. It's not even the scoring though - he just doesn't seem to be getting the ball to take shots. I'd be happy if he upholds 15 pts, 4 assists, 2 3's, and a steal. But if he falls off to 10 pts a night like he has been for the last 2 weeks, it's gonna start hurting me. Barring injury, do you think his numbers will perk up a bit, or do you think he's becoming an afterthought in that offense unless they need 3's?

I'm disappointed with Perkins, too, I picked him up after he was dropped when Ratliff started that one game and he got solid boards and blocks but never really made much of an impact. Oh well.

Will he continue to start, get minutes, and produce. or should i pick up al jefferson who is the only big guy left in boston. I'm dropping perkins, who was a disapointment. is chuck hayes worth a pick up just for his boards.

If you could get either of those guys for Martin, it's pretty much a no-brainer. As for J-Rich, I've found that dealing players when they are out -- even if it's a day-to-day thing -- really brings down their value. You're better off waiting until he's at least back on the court.

I think I'll offer that trade. I own both Martin and Butler, and It would be *really* difficult to pry Butler away from me. I see on the player raters that he's rated about 41 or 42 (much lower than Martin and about 10 spots lower than Iguodala), but I absolutely love him and his consistency (his game last night was his first "bad" one in a looooong time). Maybe I'm just saying that because he's a great fit for my team--I'm punting blocks and turnovers, and he contributes in nearly every other category. Please note that he does turn the ball over a lot. But he's a fantastic FT shooter. Anyway, I would trade Martin for Butler (depending on team needs, as always). OB: regarding Richardson, I would guess that his trade value is very low right now, with the injury and the way he's been playing WHEN he's been playing, and of course Don Nelson. If you're able to keep him for a while to see if he regains form either to keep him or trade him, that's would i would do. Thanks for the opinion… I think I’ll offer that trade.

Iguadala is a triple-double threat, sort of an under developed Lamar Odom in that sense. He'll hit threes, play defense, and get some assists. When AI goes out, as he does ever once in a while, Iggy looks really strong, and I don't expect Martin to go on a stronger tear than how he started out the season. I got Martin in like the 10th round and Iggy is probably like a 4/5th rounder in most leagues. But yeah, I'd definately do it is I was getting Iggy back.
