Should I offer KD for Embiid?
 
My main categories are FT, 3PT, AST, STL and PTS, while I'm ok with FG.
Basically punting BLK and TO.
 
The reasoning is that Embiid provide similar (if not better) numbers than KD, but more importantly, he provides stills which KD is lacking.
Thoughts? (my squad is attached)

I think those 2 guys will probably have similar steals numbers at season's end if that's what you're hunting. Last year it was 0.9 for KD and 1.1 for Embiid and it might trend closer to that this year, too. If you want to make the trade that's fine - they're both HYPER elite, but just know it's not going to change your steals fortune by much.

Thanks, I'm aware it is not a dramatic upgrade in STL (Comparison is attached), but it is also a nice bump in REB (and I can afford the slight reduction in AST and FT if any) - what I'm mostly concern is durability - Durant is usually a safer bet

Indeed Kd is the safer health play though obviously an injury to either could happen at any moment. Just have to weigh all of that out and make the best call we can
