@Bryan Showalter: 'Melo for Horford wouldn't have been crazy at the start of the season when Anthony was the No. 1 scoring option on his team. Now that's he's matched with Amar'e, I'd prefer Horford. That said, I would never trade away a top 3 fantasy option under any circumstances other than a) getting a top 3 fantasy option in return, b) a lopsided dead involving several top 20-30 players for your top 3, or c) there is no c. Keep Durant.

Adam – What do you thing of trading Melo form Horford straight up ? Or even Durant and Bidrinis for Horford and Collison…let me know thoughts on both. I really could use Horford’s all around value and I have good depth at SF spot (Melo, Durant, Jo Smith, Jamison)…so can afford to lose one of them, but do you think I would be gettin good deal

Thanks

@Bryan: If you don't need assists, then I'd definitely trade up for Kobe. Are you going to be okay on steals? Why do you want Collison if you just got rid of assists? If you're targeting Horford, why not just trade him straight up for Ellis? Also, how many teams are in your league? How deep are the teams? I ask to figure out how far +300 assists will get you. Can you punt assists for the remaining 23-25 games?

Hey Adam…I am leading my roto league in assists by alomst 300 right now, so can afford to give away some…should I deal ROndo for Kobe ? I have Nash still to get me those assists among others give me a few/game…also then would try to deal Ellis and toss in guy like Biedrins for Horford and Collison (or HInrich)…
so…1 – should I do rondo for kobe…and… 2- if that trade goes thru, should I trade Monte ellis and toss in guy for Horford and Collison or Hinrich…thanks for thoughts!
