This is my team, 16 teams.. H2H 8 cat- no turnover league. The trade that I got offered was my milsap/ warren for Fournier and Rubio. Just wanted to knnow if that was a good trade, think I sold high on warren cuz no way his percentages hold. Thoughts ? Or should I have traded batum/milsap instead I just thought I’d be giving up too much defensive stats ..

Victor Oladipo
Reggie bullock
Batum
Millsap
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Mo Bamba
Kevin Love
T.Warren
Mo Harkless
Danny Green
Luka Doncic
Allonzo Trier
Kris Dunn.

As of now, Turner has a little bit of name-value still left. I would try and get an extra asset out of that trade. But move fast before Isaac breaks out.

Holiday, Burke, and Hezonja each have their own individual merits and drawbacks. Hezonja has the best ceiling, but Burke will be the steadier producer.

If you're receiving Murray, then yes. IF not, then run away!

Yes! That's a solid move long-term

Mitchell is just off to a slow start and should perk up sooner rather than later. That said, making a move for Drummond is solid and if you want him, that's a fair deal

I don't normally recommend people to trade away Giannis in keeper or dynasty, but that's a good price. I love Embiid's long-term outlook. He's easily a top-8 guy moving forward, so Bledsoe is just the right amount of gravy to make the offer appetizing.

Since he tipped his hand and you're dealing from a position of strength, ask for more. Batum is decent, but if we can do better, why not?

I like Bazemore because he does "a lot," like what you need. I'm not too keen on those offers for Rubio though and would pass. He's developed into a slow-starter, needing more games to warm up to full value. So wait a bit, then trade him at a high and not while he's struggling.

I like the move. It's a nice sell-high on Warren and an effective buy-low on Rubio. Good job.

GA isn't keeper eligible in this case. Only Embiid and Bledsoe. But thanks for the advice. I'm gonna shoot it to the other team.

Embiid gets help with split rebounds. But it's not crazy far off.

Thanks Erik I was nervous because he either wanted batum or warren and I didn’t know who to choose but I figured warren is a sell high while batum I already know what he does. Milsap I figured would be a nice trade off for Fournier and yeah I get Rubio in a buy low. Hopefully my team can stay solid in rebounds with the loss of milsap

You're welcome! Good luck!

P.S. you can find low-end bigs in the FA pool to offset those lost boards from Millsap

One last question you think I should already start planning to trade Fournier .. cuz the magic has a horrible playoff schedule .. obviously not now but down the road closer to playoffs now or just take a wait and see approach. Thanks !

It's a bit too early for that. Ride Fournier and his value for now. See if he gets a nice string of games late-December, early-January then move him at a high. It's a stock trading game you know, so timing is everything
