Have a chance to trade away B. Lopez, Lamb and Ariza for Mirotic and Ingles. Should I pull the trigger? 14t h2h 9cat
My initial thoughts are to accept the trade. Assuming Mirotic is the best player in the trade? And Ariza will probably be droppable after mid season anyway. My worries is that I am giving away Lamb which I very much like, and like Bru and Dan are saying, he is only going to improve.
Of that deal I would marginally keep what you have, even though I like Niko. BroLo has been producing nicely and don't be too quick to dismiss Ariza as he still has top 60 potential in 9 cat. A mid season trade could potentially help not hurt him. If you can get Niko and Jingles without Ariza or Lamb in the deal then I'd do it.
I didnt mean Ariza getting traded. I meant Suns going young and reducing Ariza minutes. I have playoff spot secured so Im looking for the possibilities to strenghten my team for the end of the season (fantasy playoffs). Im pretty sure Ariza will be dropable by that time
You're welcome...
They aren't paying Ariza $15m to sit on the bench. He's extremely valuable to a playoff team so I would expect him to be dealt by the trade deadline. But go with your gut, sounds like you want to take the Niko side so just go ahead and do it if so - the forums are for canvassing opinions which is what I provided.
Yes, thank you for the input. Its a done deal. Also was able to grab Bullock from waiver. Earlier in season bought low on Towns. Man, I love to trade 🙂
Yeah Towns was such a classic buy-low no brainer, love it. I managed to buy low on him in one league, tried and failed in many more!
You have a playoff spot secured six weeks into the season?
Yes, I have the best team by far and already sitting comfotrtably at number 1. Its 14 teams and 13 players each team, with this roster I think I should feel pretty comfortable, thats why im moving my at the end of roster guys and upgrading to middle etc:
PG - Lillard
SG - Jrue Holiday
G - Bledsoe
SF - J. Richardson
PF - Mirotic
F - Harrel
C - Towns
C - M. Robinson
UTL - Ingles
UTL - SloMo
BN - McGruder
BN - White
BN - Bullock
Haha, the magic of using HB to draft gets you in a nice spot. I will say, though, anything can happen, so don't gameplan for playoffs QUITE yet.
