BMW asked in SportsFantasy Sports · 1 decade ago

Should I do this fantasy basketball trade?

I would be trading Josh Smith for Derron Williams.

My team:

PG: Gilbert Arenas

SG: Kevin Durant

G: Josh Smith

SF: Kevin Garnett

PF: Emeka Okafor

F: Andrea Bargnani

C: Tyson Chandler

C: Andris Biedrins

Util: Manu Ginobli

Util: Jamal Crawford

Bench: Stephon Marbury

Bench: Jameer Nelson

Bench: Marvin Williams

It's an 8 team head 2 head league and I obviously need points and assists but am i giving up too much in Josh Smith for those weaknesses?

    With KG, Okafor, Chandler, and Biedrins, you are in a good spot to trade away a player like Josh Smith for an assist monster like Deron Williams.

    This trade can be broken down as such:

    Smith wins - Rebounds, steals (he could average 2 per game), and blocks

    Williams wins - FG% (I believe he will shoot around 47% this year if not higher), FT% (by about 5% which is huge in H2H leagues as Smith can kill you in that category), 3s, and assists (by about 3X)

    Your team isn't necessarily lacking in assists (Arenas has started off slow but he'll get back to 6 per game soon enough) but it is lacking that one consistent assist guy (which there are few of - Nash, Paul, Williams, and Kidd are the biggest names).

    By adding Williams to your team you aren't guaranteed a championship but you will be taking one step closer to one. Do the trade and enjoy the ride.

    Good luck!
