Maybe it'd be better to keep trade discussions on PMs instead of forum posts. Let's keep this thread for discussion of fantasy basketball in general, how our teams are doing, observations about particular players, etc. Discussing a league-wide issue (i.e. misclick -> trade) is even okay. However, use PMs if you want to discuss a transaction with a particular person.

Lol 30 team league. Just barely enough nba players.

Ace, not really interested in Calderon with Lowry healthy. Looking to improve on Mo.

Varejao 6 straight games with 15+ rebounds. I think he's the main reason I'm ahead.

Yea I don't see how it's a big deal.

You can't really bloat up a thread that gets maybe 10 replies a day.

And I also love to know what people are/aren't looking for in a trade. It helps facilitate trades between everyone.

I agree certain things should be kept private. But as far as I'm concerned, that is up to the two parties involved to decide. If you want to discuss things in the open, I'll gladly grab some popcorn and watch.

Expensive overall.

Not expensive for Xaul Xan. Rubio is a solid fit for his lineup. He's very weak at AST/STL... which are basically the only categories Rubio helps in. And he really hadn't spent any money yet.

I was thinking it was a bit early to bid that much on Rubio, but I had to have him. If my assists/steals keep at the same pace im going to be so far behind I won't be able to compete come late in the season. Also I can afford to sit a player for a few games, as I'm currently first in games played (a big reason why I was leading).

As for blocks, I have a ton of wing players, they may not get me one a night each, but over time they add up, Hawes was also getting me a lot before his minutes dropped off (steeply), even with Hawes playing so horribly I had a hard time giving him up for that reason, I was going to do Terry, but my FG% is hurting to much with Demar/Bargs to give up Terry who gives me 3's, and good FG/FT%'s. I also think Terrys worth will go up, where as Hawes might be stagnant.

He also had Hawes who had 1.3 bpg. That is nothing to scoff at.

If you remove the 20 blocks Hawes has so far and add in the maybe 2 or 3 Rubio would have had in his place you're looking at a very mediocre team in blocks (pretty close to the bottom of the league). And yea, like he said you can't underestimate the impact of none bigs can have. Gallo + Harden = Hawes in terms of blocks. They've combined for 20% of his teams total blocks so far. Considering their position, that's huge.

I'd expect him to come down a bit in blocks now.

Just like my team. I'm pretty crappy in blocks too. I'm being held afloat by my point guards (LOL). Lowry + Jrue + Mo are combined for 1.8 bpg. My average blocks are probably coming down a bit (despite gaining a tad bit in the parsons for west trade). Thankfully, I think I could sit at last in blocks and still be in the lead.

Why do you think Terrys worth is going up? Personally I don't see any numbers which could go up. If anything I'd say his value goes down (his FG% is much more likely to drop than gain). And Avery Bradley eventually coming back might eat into his minutes.

I don't think it was early for Rubio. If you didn't run after him I'm sure someone else would have. Reports out of Minny are good. He's on or ahead of schedule by the looks of it.

From what I've watched of Terry on Boston, he isnt entirely comfortable there, I think as he starts to learn the offense, and Rondo starts to understand his tendencies on the court we will see more shot attempts. I also think that as he learns his big men, he will do a better job playing off of screens, and turning the ball over less. Turn overs are his big problem right now, and I expect that to decrease as he starts to shoot more (can turn it over if you shoot) and plays more within his pace.
