No, I think that was a good deal. Dirk is playing arguably the best basketball in the entire league right now. I think that this was a good deal from a fantasy standpoint. Dirk solidy gets you GOOD stats in every single catagory.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MaStA_MiNdZ:</div><div class="quote_post">Traded: Rapist (Kobe Bryant) Recieved: Dirk Nowitzki</div> Whats with the word rapist in here. Did he ever get convicted? some of you have no sense.
Whoever got Dirk got a much better deal. His fg% alone makes him more valuable than Kobe fantasy-wise.
Dirk gives you great scoring, fg%, rebounding, and still is an MVP doing his thing this year. If you got Nowitzki it was a great trade for you.
Overall....pretty good trade. I think whoever got Kobe got the better part of the deal though. He racks up stats in almost every cat for you. He's getting his pts, steals, assts, boards, blocks, everything. The only thing that is hampering him down this year is his FG%, but that can always get better. In my opinion, Kobe is the overall better part of this deal.
You definetly got an upgrade if Dirk continues to play like he's playing. Kobe will get you more dimes though.
Don't be suprised, Dirk can hit up any category that Kobe can minus APGs. Two things that Dirk does better is FG% and TOs (Kobe leads the NBA or is #2 in TOs, I bet nobody knows that ). Trust me on this, you can compare them cat for cat, you got the upgrade here (except for APG which can be addressed through a PG)
Yeah right now that was a good trade. I had a trade proposal on Yahoo! I would get: Kobe I would trade: Gasol Harrington Should I?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MaStA_MiNdZ:</div><div class="quote_post">Traded: Kobe Bryant Recieved: Dirk Nowitzki</div> Yea you made a mistake b/c Kobe is consistent and Dirk can be but kobe is a better choice.

Harrington and Gasol are patchy, but good players, but Kobe is a superstar. That's highway robbery for you, especially if you can get a decent FA pick-up (someone like Damon Jones, Austin Croshere, James Poset etc).

I agree about Damon Jones. I have him on my team and I'm tops on threes made. Well of course I also have Shard and Redd. I'd choose Dirk over Kobe anytime without even flinching. You'll get a C (which is hard to come by in leagues), someone who rebounds, shoot threes consistently and above decent FG wise.
