    I'm pretty sure that I'll end up going through with this trade, but I wanted to hear some imput first. I hate to give up Brand, but at least I won't lost any rebounding. Here is the rest of my team:

    Kobe Bryant
    Paul Pierce
    Chris Duhon
    Paul Gasol
    Kyle Korver
    Rasheed Wallace
    Antawn Jamison
    Tony Parker
    Manu Ginobili
    Dirk Nowitzski
    Memet Okur
    Sam Cassel

    and Obviously Elton Brand and Steve francis.

    The dude who see up our league is an idiot, so A/T ration, ejections, and foul outs are included with the standard 8 categories. Should I do this trade?

    Oh .. tough one. Let's break it down:

    Camby is the best centre in the league right now hands down, and he'd get drafted in the top 10 if a draft was to be held today, however, his injury history still turns you off on him, but I didn't hesitate one bit when he was available in the 3rd round of the JBB league.

    Brand is an MVP candidate this year, and his numbers prove it. Another fantasy stud and is a safer pick than Camby.

    Francis, who is suffering a minor injury right now is on the decline, but he'll get you good numbers for a guard. I'm not liking his turnovers one bit, and you're stacked at the PG position, so I'm not too crazy about him.

    Ray has been somewhat disappointing this year as far as fantasy play, but I really believe his numbers are on the rise from this point on. He gets you threes and provides good defence for a shooting guard.

    As much as I hate giving up Brand and worrying about Camby's health, you have to pull the trigger on this trade.

    The trade is definetely a steal, ray allen is much better than franchise, camby is better than brand, but barely, he can play centere though...

    How in THE HELL did you get Dirk AND Kobe AND Pierce AND Brand AND Francise? Are you playing with the mentally handicapped, or are there just 5 in your league?

    Think about it dawg.

    This is a small league with some close friends and fam. 6 people in this league.

    Thanks for the advice, I did the trade. I'm pleased with the outcome. The dude was originally trying to get Brand+Pierce for Ray+Camby, I'm glad I could talk him down to Fracis since I already had too many pgs anyway. Hopefully Ray will start to turn his season around.
