This is a 12 team 9 CAT ROTO league, my team consists of:
Kyrie Irving, Jrue holiday, Milos Teodosic
Tim Hardaway Jr, Jae Crowder
Lebron James
Lamarcus Aldridge, Taj Gibson, Dirk Nowitzki
Al Horford, Brook Lopez, Dewayne dedmon
I like Blake this season, but I feel like getting him and Booker is a Ton of points and counting stats, but I may lose some of those defensive stats in this trade. The values are similar I feel- Should I go for this trade?
To me that’s a big yes.
Brook Lopez and Jrue Holiday are risky players as it is, but I would much prefer them to Blake and Devin. You're right in the assessment that they only really give you a whole lotta popcorn stats with a bunch of threes from Booker as well. But the ability of Jrue and Brook to give you a tonne of money counters pushes me over to that camp. To make it much simpler though, I prefer Jrue to Devin and I prefer Brook to Blake.
Yeah thanks for that Tama Carr, its the verification I'm hoping to hear.
Its easy to get attracted to the popcorn stats and the big names that are Blake Griffin and Devin Booker. I'm hoping that Brook can play well in this young up tempo lakers offense, and Jrue will play well with twin towers in New Orleans.
I will never have Devin Booker on my team.
I second Tama and his reasoning.
I'm probably in the minority, but I'm higher on Blake than most and if the preseason is any indicator, the return of Rajon will kill Jrue's assist superpowers and I say that as a Jrue homer...haha.
Blake will have a huge popcorn year, but it's fantasy pyrite.
