Subject: Using Trades During All-Star Week

  Posted by: Drunken Baller - [333461712] Fri, Feb 01, 2002, 12:35
Is it worth using your trades during All-Star Week? I mean you would use them if you had some injuries. But not many players have good or decent schedules. So is it worth using trades?

For example, the Sacramento players (Webber, Peja, Christie) play 3 games that week when no one else plays more than 2. Also, wouldn't you use some/all of your trades that week to get out of players whose schedules slow down and into players whose schedules heat up over the next 3 weeks?

I know some managers will not use trades that week, but the ASB affords a time to review your roster to plan for the next few weeks and make trades to will set your roster in the future.

This works when the player you plan to buy has been losing money or holding steady. I am going to do this with Iverson on the morning of 2/8 -- not sure who I'm going to buy, but I have time to decide.

The best scheds after the break:
Chicago has 5 in 7 and 10 in 17.
Denver has 5 in 7 and 9 in 17.
Lakers has 4 in 7 and 10 in 17.
Milwaukee has 5 in 7 and 10 in 17
Phoenix has 4 in 7 and 10 in 17.
Seattle has 4 in 7 and 10 in 17.
Toronto has 5 in 7 and 10 in 17.
Utah has 5 in 7 and 8 in 17.

      Fri, Feb 01, 2002, 13:24 		I was just looking for a little clarification on Mark L's comment...Say TSN doesn't suspend the daily 4-day repricing, if a team leaves a player off their roster during the ASB in order to look at how the price swings play out and so forth would your team still see gains/losses for the other 9 players you have active, or would your team be considered invalid with reference to money seeing as though their are no games?
