Subject: Nov 21 - Nov 28 Trade Thread

Looks like with the beginning of GMD, most of the trade talk is taking place there. For those of us not playing GMD, here's the new trade thread for the week, a couple days late.
As of now for me, Kobe>Lebron on Saturday is all I have planned for now. It would take a HUGE Kobe game to make me change that.
I'm trying to figure out why Howard is not going to be held all the way to Dec. 3 with the dearth of centers out there. Even if you have him at forward, who is going to be better than him? I see a lot of talk about trading him well before that. Unless you can use the money to upgrade somewhere else, is Kirilenko somebody you want over Howard?
Daniels will be on everybody's radar now. I have no spot for him for now.
Louis Williams is the newest cheapie to hit the forum. I picked him up, know nothing about him other than his last two games have been good and I wanted to dump Udrih. Anybody else take a flyer on him or know anything about him? Mike D., what's the Philly take on LW?
Just a few thoughts to generate some discussion. |

my only concern about williams is his minutes, as they have been far from consistent.
i certainly don't have a trade allocated to Howard for this week...even if i could afford one, i wouldn't have any plans to move him.
i imagine some people will be moving howard for Lebron, just like you are doing with Kobe Jedman.
I also can't fit Daniels into my plan. I suppose I could...I'm moving udrih for brewer, as he is a long term hold.

Agree on Howard, Jedman. There has been discussions on moving him to Kiri. I can't justify dropping Howard at this point.
Part of the reasons cited is a fear of an early Howard sell off. Frankly I don't see it. Most rosters no doubt have Howard at C.... Who else would you want at C?
For those with Howard at F, Kiri seems the most discussed destination, come Sunday. There are no games gained by trading Howard to Kiri until 12/4. Who would you want for those 4 games during that span.
I'll add Kiri and keep Howard, and enjoy his points until he departs in 11 days or so.

If you take AK from a different player, you are minimizing your losses from the Howard->AK move

Hi. Do any of you play Basic Non Trade Buying as well? My team consists of Baron, SJax, Gay, Al Harrington, DH12, and Moon. I got on each of the trains pretty early, and made some money, however have only 1 trade left and 5 million in the bank. I was thinking about getting rid of Gay or Al tonight, but I need to start preserving trades and am leaning towards taking losses on them. I think I will go DH12 to Kaman on 11/29. I know theren't many options for me, but if you can give me some advise that would be great.

Absolutely agree on Howard. To trade away his excellent and consistent performances would be sheer madness IMHO, especially given the usual lack of playable Centers. And even though I have him as F, I couldn't possibly justify moving him before the end of the schedule. From my point of view, LBJ is the only player worth more than Howard right now, and disappointing studs like Kobe or combos of underperforming mid-price players surely are a better way into the King than Dwight. So I don't see a selloff either and will continue to enjoy his output until 12/3.

Welcome George,
Don't really play, but you have a team with no " must sells " IMO. Harrington probably will take some more hits as well as Gay.
You might want to considering trading Gay ( or conversely Harrington if he keeps sucking ) to Kirilenko on Sunday, which will leave you tradeless for a couple days and sit tight til you trade Howard. Gay can be a hold until 12/8- you're going to take a hit on either one, it may as well be the one playing well. But I wouldn't go Howard => Kaman until 12/4 as you lose a Howard game ( Howard plays 3 before Kaman plays his 3rd ). Money is important, but points win.
Unfortunately that will leave you about 6 mil in the bank, but I'm sure you can find a way to spend it and you should have 3 trades come 12/5.
If you want to take a more agressive approach trade Gay to Kiri Sunday, Harrington to Kaman 12/30 And move Howard 12/3 or 12/4. You could afford anyone, maybe Boozer. But that doesn't help you conserve trades.

George, I don't play Basic either, sorry. And unlike Dave (whose advice always is invaluable!), I am completely incapable of separating Ultimate from Basic strategy in my brain, so I better refrain from giving advice to you. Because if I did, it most probably would be complete nonsense... ;)

I guess the strategy should be relatively similar, in no trade buying.
Half the trades ( 2 VS. 4 ) and roughly half the players ( 6 vs. 10 ). And one utility player vs. an extra center . They have 2 G's, 2 F's, C, Utility.

Yeah, but price movement can be completely different. I remember there have been occasions in which the same player would gain in Basic and drop in Ultimate. Or vice versa. That's what makes Basic a bit unpredictable for me. I mean now that I don't play it anymore! ;) I used to but eventually found Ultimate is much more fun.

The price movements are completely different because those buying trades cause unusual price changes as do those joining after the start of the season since it is free game.
Unless you can get to Lebron now, I would hold. Kiri and Daniels might be a long term option worth looking at as if you are not buying trades need to look at players to hold despite 3 game weeks. I would go into next week and after Wed consider trade GAy and Harrington for best available players and long term schedules.

Re: #4
Welcome to the lonely world of Basic NT. I am playing both NT and Ultimate. My performance in Ultimate is so-so but, so far, am doing reasonably well in Basic. I "upgrade' to a Pro team after the ASB. With just 57 days with one or more games played, I can't resist!
Anyway, I think the advice you've received is all pretty solid. #9 & #10 are right about the price changes. The trades in Pro affect the prices in Basic and a logical hold in NT may not be so in Pro. In Pro you can quickly recover from a bad move. Not so in NT. I believe trade management is even more important than in Ultimate. 2 trades for 6 rostor spots gives you less room for error than 4 for 10.
If you have exactly $5mil cash, your RV of $42,260 is very good for NT. There's only 11 or so teams in the NT Top 100 with more. One concern may be Rudy Gay. After tonight/tomorrow he has a 2 in 6. His slide may have already started, dropping $10k each of the last two days. You could ride it out for a couple of days but I think he's going to drop big in Pro. If you have more than $5mil, you might consider Gay to Dirk. He's at $9,740 which means you need $5,010 plus Gay's $4,730. Dallas has a solid schedule for the next 3+ weeks but obviously you can't wait this one out. On the con side of course is the fact uses all your cash. Another move that might work is Gay to Devin Harris, moving Moon to F, assuming he's your 6th. This gets you the great Dallas sched and good upside RV potential while actually building your cash for future moves like Howard in early Dec.
Only other concern might be 3 GSWs. Except for 2 off days Nov 30/Dec 1, their schedule is pretty good but you'll need a trade carryover when the time comes.
I'm holding Davis, Jameer Nelson, DH12, S Jackson, Bynum and D Harris with 1 trade and $1,380. Barring injuries, I'm not planning any moves until late next week when I move out of Howard/Nelson. Not sure yet who to move into but there's time yet.
Once agian, it is lonely in the world of Basic NT so it's good to talk strategy with someone who'
s livin' it.

Would like some expert advice on this one. Of course as usual I only have two trades left.
Davis, B.
Bogans, K.
Brewer, R.
Douby, Q.
Forward
Garnett, K.
Howard, D.
Nowitzki, D.
Moon, J.
Center
Bynum, A.
Hollins, R.
Wanted to unload Douby as he has been rotting on my team for some time. I know Dirk is in thick on his schedule but I never should have gotten him and have contemplated selling him tonight for Boozer, Kirk and then using the extra money to turn Douby into L Williams. I can not go Douby L Williams with only 130k in my bank. Ugh
My other team already has L Williams but Still stuck with Douby and 2.9 in bank with one trade.
Bogans, K.
Brewer, R.
Williams, L.
Douby, Q.
Forward
Garnett, K.
James, L.
Nowitzki, D.
Moon, J.
Center
Hollins, R.
Howard, D.

If there is some stud to sacrifice from the above list in order to upgrade dead weight like Douby or Hollins, I'd say it's KG. CJ will have to sell him anyway if he doesn't want 12m to lie idle with such a low number of games. So why not sell after KG's B2B and then use the cash to overhaul the roster according to what the landscape will be then?

quick question getting rid of wright and s williams tonight because carter is back with 2.5 in the bank would you guys go with
AK + Louis williams = better scheds and long term holds
or
A Daniels + keep S Williams = go for the sure starter (and probably top money maker tonight behind brewer) and giv the new Center a chance (i don't think he will start again nachbar has been hogging his minutes back)

ahh ... well i already made the option 1 trade and the washington game already started so there goes that ( daniels 1st q isnt all that great so far anyway)
btw louis is listed as a backup pg u think korver will take away that many minutes from him?
i think that option is valid anyway since AK outproduces a wright and s williams by himself ... anything louis does is jus a bonus for me plus he is at minimum now anyway so its not like i can lose much $$ i jus need to fill a player slot basically ( i figure ill jus balance him out when i rid howard out to a mid priced or cheapie center in the future)
at this point the only thing i could do is undo buying him and buy jamrio moon instead. Think i should go and do that?

Thanks for the input guys. Definitely Dirk and KG are not currently pulling their weight. I held due to not so many trades and I need to turn the weekend with some trades going into the refresh. If I don't then I will always be without trades each week. Good thing I have B Davis and Howard. If just KG and Dirk could take notes.

WV has two more games and the other two Mis/Kansas play each other. WV would have to win out then you would have the winner of MS/KS at #1 and WV #2 Ohio State #3 I guess. But WV is the team to watch as they have two more games and everyone else is idle. WV plays Conn and Pitt two teams very capable of beating them.
Should be interesting as this all turns out.

Just to add to the prior post....I read where the MS/KS winner plays Oklahoma the following week.
So of the top 4 teams...Only Ohio State is idle for rest of year and might just be in the drivers seat as each week the top ranked teams lose again and again. Not that one team is deserving over another but not playing is almost best....just imagine if OSU did not get beat by IL.

HEY what is up with TSN again. The price movers list all 500k players. This is a joke! They obviously have a glitch and was not equipped for not having price changes for one day. They should have price changes from start of season to end. No matter what day it is or if games are played. People are still trading.

alright...a little OT
Kobe and his underperforming 11 million dollars is going to be the top price loser today I would imagine, but being as I already have Lebron, I will be holding and hoping he goes on a triple double string...or even if he could crack 40 consistently that would be nice.

if you have LBJ already and are looking to trade Kobe, then we don't have the same team...cause I don't have enough trades to trade one of the best players in the league for a player who could just as easily perform worse than Kobe or get injured tomorrow.
Agree that Baron is killing us, but Kobe for Baron isn't a move I've even considered.
Kobe will lose big today, but I don't see any concentrated sells after that.

yea i was never contmeplating kobe>davis since that would be useless because itll jus give me 1.5 mill to upgrade a cheapie which isnt worth my last trade (i have 2) if anything itd be kobe to a solid mid priced and then a cheapie to another 6-7 mill player.
I alredy traded wright and s williams last night though so my team is pretty solid at the moment so im goign to keep Kobe.
The upside of us having kobe after today is that if he decides to stop being whack only me and you will profit from it (and hopefully davis comes back to earth)

On Friday, I decided to give Gay and Harrington a chance over the weekend and eat potential losses. I didn't want to become tradeless so early. As it turned out, Gay rewarded me with decent games, but Harrington was horrible. I was thinking to get rid of him on Friday to get Kirilenko, which would have been a good move moneywise and pointwise as well. I just did that, so I am hoping for a great Kirilenko game today and onwards, but knowing my luck he will suck and Harrington explodes tomorrow. Oh well...Could have gone Dirk today, but that would leave me with no money in the bank, and I think (hope) that Kirilenko will be at least on par with Dirk for less money.
So right now I have: Baron, SJax, Kiri, Moon, Howard, and Gay. No trades and $3,110.
I am eating Gay losses for the next couple of days, and hoping he continues with sub-50 games Tuesday/Wednesday. :) Then I will revaluate if he should go for the best-hot-long-term pickup. The second trade will be reserved for the Howard-Kaman move, timing depending on when Howard starts losing money.
I am not sure, does Basic NTB discussion warrant a separte thread?

I thought about Kaman>Bogut and then Howard back to Kaman. Seemed like it made sense, looked at my team and found I was 10K short. Maybe that was a sign! I'm just going to tough it out with Kaman and Howard. Being stingy with trades has been ok so far and hopefully that continues.
I don't understand the Howard>Bogut move at all. If I read the schedule correctly, you gain no games for the first 4. What is the point in that? Money is important, but geez, Howard has been a monster and you are going to move him for Bogut now? Am I missing something? I know you can use the extra money to upgrade someplace else, but aren't you going to want the money to get Howard back?

i rememeber when u posted and said u wated to trade brewer (when he was at his lowest) to get manu ... and manu was a soso seceudle at that point and if i can recalll didn't even produce that well
u do have to get rid of manu/nelson soon but i don't know if you'd want to hop on to davis now ... a slightly under avg game could make for a big RV loss over the week .... brewer may need to get picked up but u missed the best time for thatr and 12/3 may be the next best time for the pickup
but if your going to trade tommorrow you should consider some other studs too that havent gone up yet with good schedules like Bosh has been blowing up recently and phoenix studs too have a good lineup starting tommorrow
on the cheapie side moon is starting a good sched tommorrow too and daniels is still a cheap option for a 30+ per game player

through Christmas to warrant the hold.
Yes, I wanted Manu, his production had been high, and I didn't
have the money to get into Davis then (not sure how this is a
bad time to get Davis)...Also, was getting out of Kobe to get
LeBron...I think that trade was pretty necessary.
You can keep LOLing, I feel ok about the way my team worked
out the past week. I made up decent ground, in WWR, and think
that this move increases the amount of production my team will
make this week.

im not sayin davis is a bad move ( im also still thinking of moving to him) im jus sayin that my fear of getting him is that he has already reached a roof on his price and can only go down as the week goes on for people deciding to opt out (e.g. if he has a couple 30 tsnp games) whereas if you had faith in another long term stud (theres a couple with the same # of games to the holidays) then u can jump in low and not worry bout the leaks yet.
but yea tsnp # wise davis is still the top of the list if he keeps it up.

Maybe we should start a Basic Pro/NT thread but not sure how much response we'd get. I suspect most who post at RotoGuru play Ultimate. Can't blame them. Can't fathom why Howard gains $110k one day and drops $110k the very next day.
Anyway, holding Davis, Nelson, Howard, Jackson, Bynum and Harris(6th) with 3 trades and $1,380. Need to get out of Nelson and Howard before the week is out. Howard is #1 owned @ C and #2 @ 6th so he will probably drop far and fast. Considering Howard to Bosh and sooner rather than later. Agree with JMISA in #52. With Moon picking up most of the big defensive assignments lately, Bosh is free to go big on offense and he's averaged 50 pts in 40+ mins for last 4 games. ORL has 4 games in a 5 game West Coast swing. TOR @ home for 4 of next 5.
Big question is when to get out of Nelson. Less $ sensitive than DH so maybe wait and go Nelson/Bynum to Kaman/Moon or something similar on Dec 3rd. Any thoughts?

Even though he got 20 minutes last night, I still would be very concerned with the impact that Korver's return will have on L. Williams. Simply put, he has Willie Green and Korver ahead of him at the 2 spot and Andre Miller ahead of him at the point. It worked last night only because the Sixers went small for long stretches against the finesse-style Bucks. But they won't be able to do that every night.
Much like Sean Williams, if Louis Williams gets 25 minutes a game, he'll likely produce in the 20s. I'm skeptical that the minutes will be consistent, and unlike with Sean, there are many more guard options than at center. I do love that Sixer schedule, however.
Speaking of great schedules, the Hawks begin an 8/14 (with 6 homes games) after the refresh next week, which correlates perfectly with LeBron and Kobe's slowdowns.
My question: can we trust Josh Smith and/or Al Horford to produce to their salaries at this point? I'm intrigued by both, but not sold on either yet.
