    It all depends on your needs right now. Personally, I think it's a good trade. Gasol is likely going to get more minutes under Fratello and that will turn him into a 20/10 guy, maybe better. Larry Hughes is becoming a very prolific scorer, the only thing that could hurt him is the fact that they have two other scoring options on that team. Other than that, he is a very capable 20+ppg guy. Jalen Rose is the only bad part of this trade. He's not that great anymore, and it's shown. His averages are way down compared to earlier in his career. I'm not totally sure what exactly he's capable of anymore, as he hasn't shown much since the year before he left Chi-town.

    With what you're losing...Hill has been great. But, can he keep it up for a year and can he stay healthy? Those are the two big questions concerning him. Pierce just needs to stay consistent. His shooting can be sometimes erractic and he doesn't have great shot selection sometimes.

    Overall, I'd go for it. Hughes is a great scorer who is just getting better and Gasol, if he gets more minutes, will be great.

    I would do it although Hill and Pierce are great fantasy players you are trading two good fantasy players for three so you will more likely improve all around by doing this trade. It will give you more options Gasol for rebouds, Hughs for steals, and Rose for scoring. All these players can score, and domiante in other areas of the game as well.

    Why would you do this trade? Gasol isn't even playing at his best right now, and Hughes and Rose are inconsistent. Although Pierce isn't playing great, he puts up way better all-around statistics and Hill is playing great.

    Hill may go down any time.. he never haves a full solid year.. Plus Rose/Hughs can give you a lot of stats. Gasol will give you 20,10.

    Actually, I'm not sure if you noticed, but he's posting great stats right now. He's right around 20/10 (18.9/9.5 to be exact) for the season. He's also getting 2.4 assists per game, .67 steals, and 1.33 blocks. Also, he's shooting well, hitting nearly 51% from the floor. So, to say he's not doing that good is a total understatement, as he's playing the best ball he's played since his second year in the league.

    Now I would do that. He's just giving up twice as much stats than what he's receiving.

    I'd definitely go after that one. Getting great players for the price of one is always a good deal. Hit that one up.
