Fantasy Basketball?

Lol.. I want in this league next year

[koetravis]

Everybody on my team is available! Let's get some trades a rollin!

[EDUTEXANS]

Worst trade ever Koetravis. I could have offered a better package for Westy.

[koetravis]

But you didn't. And also it helps me out a lot.

[koetravis]

Also I have 2 days to cancel the trade, if you think you have a better offer, shoot me one.

[sep11ie]

that is such a rape trade. I'm surprised Stern hasn't vetoed it yet.

[EDUTEXANS]

What do you want?

[mightybosstone]

I was going to vote against it, but I just can't justify a veto. Right now, I actually think Koetravis is winning the deal based on how the players have produced early in the season. But in the long run, I think he'll regret this deal once Westbrook's shooting and Griffin's rebounding improve. It's close enough, though, that I won't veto. I feel like that should only be used when it's clearly a trade rape that only benefits one player.

[sep11ie]

It is CLEARLY a trade rape.

[koetravis]

I don't see why it was vetoed? I offered the trade, not the other way around.

To save you from you

[FOBolous]

never mind, it's a horrible trade. it's a worse trade than any of the trades I offered you. in that trade, you lose 2 superstars and 1 ok players and getting 2 trash players and Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson is not worth Westbrook and Blake Griffin. for one of them maybe...but not both.

[EDUTEXANS]

Was it vetoed? I don't think it's right, if the guy wants do a deal he has the right to do it, but that guy Joey looked like Daryl Morey.

[mightybosstone]

It is CLEARLY a trade rape.

Explain how. Jefferson and Westbrook are both probably top 10-15 fantasy players, while Griffin and Conley are both in the top 40-50 range. In terms of name value you might think it's a rape, but in terms of ACTUAL fantasy basketball, it's only a slight win.

If you look based solely on positions and production, Westbrook is clearly a better fantasy player than Conley and Jefferson is a slightly better player than Griffin. The other two players are basically throw ins, but Richardson has been far more productive than Chandler and he provides great value in 3s, steals, rebounds and points for a SG flex option. Chandler is basically useless.

So, it wasn't a particularly good value trade for Koetravis, because he probably gave up the best overall player, but a lot of it just depends on where the guy needs production.
