Ben Simmons + Aaron Gordon for Kawaii....
Which side of the trade would you want to be on?
I take Kawhi. The value you get in one 1st round player can't be found on the wire, and two early-mid round players don't add up to the same value. Kawhi can end the season top 5 in per game value. Simmons is an unknown. Gordon hasn't proven he can turn in early round value for a full season yet. We all think he can, but he hasn't. I have been trying to get Kawhi for Gordon in my leagues without success 😉
What league are you in? I would most likely go with the Kawhi side though. Depends on the size of your league and scoring settings though.
I'm trying to get the counterpart to throw in THJ as well to sweeten the deal. Other opinions?
If %s don't matter and TOs aren't a category and this is a keeper or dynasty format then maybe the Simmons/Gordon side.
If the settings are literally anything else, you want the 1st rounder.
This is a 16 team H2H, the rest of my roster is as follows:
PG – D Wade
SG – Jerian Grant
G – Ben Simmons
SF – Kelly Oubre
PF – Aaron Gordon
F – Joel Embiid
C – Tyson Chandler
Util – Kyrie Irving
BN – DJ Aug
BN – Austin Rivers
BN – Blake Griffin
IL – Kris Dunn
@tongw even if you don't get THJ you should get Kawhi in H2H and roto leagues. If you get THJ then that's highway robbery and you should sprint with it
League scoring settings 9-cat:
FG%, FT%, 3PTM, PTS, REB, AST, ST, BLK, TO
Deal was done with Kawahi + THJ for AG and Ben Simmons
