    Dude that first deal is such a ripoff in your favour, it's not even funny. What, are you playing fantasy ball against Isiah Thomas or something?

    I would say No the first offer. Who ever is asking for Bosh and Boozer for Randolph is insane. That is way to much for Randolph. Consider all their stats from last season: Bosh- 22PPG 9RPG, Boozer-16PPG 8RPG, Randolph- 18PPG 8RPG. I wouldnt accept Bosh for Randolph straight up. Most likely Bosh is going to have better numbers this season. So will Randolph, but Bosh will have better numbers. Boozer just about matches up with Randolph. Try counter trading Boozer for Randolph straight up.
    As for Kevin Garnett for Andre Kirilenko...that one is a pretty tough call. You know that Garnett is going to give you similar numbers from last year. You could pretty much gaurantee Garnett for a 20-10 season. Kirilenko, on the other hand, is a bit of risk. You could consider him injury proned but if he does stay healthy there is quite a possibility AK47 could post near 20-10 numbers. I'd stay with the safe choice...Kevin Garnett. You know what you are going to get out of him. Kirilenko is a tiny gamble.

    I hope I was able to help. Good luck.

    I rejected this trade proposed earlier today. I was wondering if you guys think it was a smart move:
    Another player offered me A. Harrington and Z. Pachulia for D. Howard. I rejected this because I didn't think that the offer was enough for D. Howard. I'm probably not going to get much production from Pachulia so it would basically be a straight up trade: Harrington for Howard. IMO, Howard is a much better player than Harrington. What do you guys think? Smart Decision?

    i cant believe you even have to ask. DO IT. KG better than Bosh. The other two dont have a think on AK47.

    The guy said he would do the deal during the draft.
    But now he changed his mind.

    I'm also in a league and I have been wondering if I should do this trade:

    Outgoing: Jason Kidd
    Incoming: Tayshaun Prince, Devin Harris

    I really like Harris because he's a young rising PG in the league and Prince IMO is going to have a career season but I need someone elses opinion.

    It depends what other player your team has.
    If you have other players that are not so good, I think you should do it then. Because Tayshaun and Harris will get you more fantasy points than Jason Kidd will, himself. But I am not experienced about Fantasy, so dont take my opinion too seriously.

    Whats the league format for fantasy grading?

    Go to League, click settings. It should say down towards the bottom.

    Something like: PG, G, SG, SF, F, PF, C ... could be different.

    This guy named Ballaz wanted to give me...
    1.KG
    2.Jason Terry
    3.Andre Kirilenko

    FOR MY...
    1. CB4
    2. Mike James
    3. Yao Ming

    I rejected his trade...

    So, now he makes a counter offer..........

    He wants to GIVE ME:
    KG & Jason Terry
    And he wants FROM ME:
    CB4 & Mike James

    I thought it was a good deal, but just wanted to ask you guys just to be 100%. I mean, I know KG > CB4. But .. I kinda didnt want to give up Mike James.

    Good job rejecting the first trade. All though KG and AK47 are both better than Bosh, Ming is going to be a beast this year. As for the second trade, I'd do it. KG >>> Bosh as you said. Mike James won't be as good as he was with the Raptors IMO, I'd rather have Terry who you know will put up solid numbers this year. Mike James is a question mark in Minnesota, KG might straighten him out to make him less of a scorer, and plus James was in his contract year so he had to make some noise last season.

    Thanks Iggy. That made a lot of sense.

    And yea, I didn't do the first trade because of Yao basically.

    EDIT: I accepted the 2nd trade.

    hey guys do you think i need to improve a lineup as good as this:

    S. Marbury
    Kobe Bryant
    TMac
    Al Harrington
    J. O'Neal
    T. Duncan
    R. Artest
    Carlos Boozer
    Amare
    S. Francis
    L. Hughes
    R, Hamilton
    A. Jamison
    K. Brown
    I DONT KNOW HOW I DID IT, BUT I DID IT... this was during the 1st week when yahoo fantasy opened i remember J.O, TMAC, Boozer and AMARe had low ranks

    I Got Kobe and Jamison for a trade sending KG(coz i had j.o and duncan) and G. Wallace
    I got L. Hughes for trading J. Reddick

    I'm willing to bet that this is another 6-8 team league. If it is, again its not that impressive. Other teams may have a way better lineup.
