@Tony: Thanks for the points clarification. Yeah, acquiring Gallinari for West would probably be in your best interest from a funds-saving standpoint.

@Adam: well i did get a $16 darren collinson for a $44 MAYO, so i got him for basically nothing, but i did just give up cousins in another deal and didn’t really receive anything but some cash and draft pick, but he was overpriced at $33. So far I feel good about my team and I like west, but he is getting older, maybe this will help…. the scoring is

pts 1 = 1ftp
rebs 1 = 1.7 ftp
asts 1= 3 ftp
3pt 1 = 4 ftp
stls 1 = 4.4 ftp
blks 1 = 6 ftp

Does that make any difference?

@d2bnz: Shame on me. I knew that and forgot. I'll tell you what, to make amends, go ahead and call Canadian Joel Anthony an American all you want. I'll hate you for it, but I won't correct you. @barker: Hasn't Gay been pretty stable so far this year? I don't see why that would change. Also, barring injury, I don't see how Brown's role can possibly change on the Lakers. They warned him it wouldn't just before he re-signed. 50/50 odd on Billups, but if he goes, one way or the other, it'll be good for Lawson. Yeah. I think you came out of this trade on top. Gay is significantly better than anyone else in this deal and Lawson has the upside of the second-best player in the deal. @Tony: I don't love Galli and I worry that you're shooting yourself in the foot here. You took a chance on DarCo (and to some degree Curry), and you'd be taking a chance on Danilo too.

@Adam: Gallinari went down for 2-3 weeks and the guy who owns him in my 20 team league is one of the top teams competing for a playoff spot. Do you think offering my $32 david west for his $18 gallinari would be a good deal for me? I was planning on keeping west, but he is 30, has definitely peaked at his game, I'd save $14 draft dollars, get a nice young player and I could ask for a couple bucks and maybe a draft pick.... My keeps would then be Stephen Curry, David lee, Gallinari, and darren collinson with some nice draft slots and lotsa extra draft dollars. Is Gallinari and upgrade? and better for the future?

well i took the trade from the last post arenas okafor afflalo for gay lawson brown

i figured my team was light on blks to begin with and i could take the hit in REBs and might even be able to replace some thru waivers and in the end could not pass up a top 10 (at the moment) player and a possible starting PG come playoff time

where do u think GAY ends up at the end of the season ?? — should i maybe try to flip him for someone more stable ??

will shannon brown ever get a chance to start on the stacked lakers??

and what do u think the odds of denver trading billups are ?? further will they get another veteran PG back or do they hand the reigns over to lawson right away

did i do good on this trade — i don’t trust arenas to be consistent and i think okafor is more like the player in the beginning of the season not the current version and afflalo is kind of bleh and brown can approximate his production — right??
