Answer 1

If you don't think about what your team needed specifically, I'd say right away, "You stoopid..." But, I think you may have improved your team, which was the important thing. Question is, have you improved it enough and, if not, have you given away the farm to get this far, with nothing left to reshape the team the rest of the way.

You're gambling that Ridnour comes back to form with Rashard's return to the line-up? And/or that Brevin Knight comes back on a tear putting Felton into mediocrity again? Maybe.

The trade helped out your points, FG%, boards and blocks; but, man, you've given up a whole lotta steals, threes, and assists -- and you can just write off FT%. Dunno what your TO's will look like.

Your team had a lot of holes before the trade (FG%, boards, points); but also had some real strengths (3's, assists, FT%).

Now you've got glaring holes at FT%, steals and blox, but few strengths, other than FG%.

You've either fixed your team (as in repaired) or fixed your team (as in neutered into mediocrity)! Only time will tell.

That is a very good trade. Felton, Diaw and Haslem have been about average this year, so you only ga ve up Kobe as a star. You got Brand, who is great, and Harrington, who has thrived in GS. Curry is ok, but you should trade him, and Ridnour too. But, overall, you got the better deal.

Answer 3

On a one for one basis let's look at this:

Felton & Ridnour - Felton is far better
Diaw & Curry - Curry is a fantasy team KILLER, Diaw is way better
Bryant & Brand - Kobe is much better than Brand
Haslem & Harrington - Harrington is better, but it is VERY close...


This deal was a bad deal.

Answer 4

all i got to say is great trade after tonights performance Kobe Bryant is not doing well getting 10 turnovers is horrible.Brand is doing great and curry is not a fantasy killer he has been staying healthy and doing great. Ridnour is a little iffy, but give him time he will be back to normal. Al Harington is pretty close to Haslem, but Harrington is doing pretty good right now. So great trade and have a great time without Kobe's turnovers.

Answer 5

Not good giving up Kobe, Diaw. But felton has a horrible FG$ (I just traded him myself) and haslem is okay.

You picked up some good big men, I'm assuming you lacked in that area. But if you're struggling I'm always for spicing things up, making a change and hoping for the best. Good Luck

Answer 6

Pretty simply he wins: Kobe and Diaw are better then Brand Curry and Luke. Felton and Al cancel each other out.. But it does look decent for you beacuse you dont have any rebounds. I would not have done this trade but its not horrid

Answer 7

this was a desperate move. You shouldn't have shipped Bryant. Jason Kidd would have been the better to ship. But this was a terribly desperate move. Good luck though, i once made a desperate move in fantasy baseball and ended up in second place so keep hopeful this move pulls off.

Answer 8

Keep Kobe

Answer 9

i dont think st jackson will replace kobes fantasy #s...but you always get decent #s out of brand...curry a good center..looking at your lineup seems ok..but how much did it improve the other guys team...

Answer 10

Horrible trade
