@Duck: I think you can try to get away with offering just Ariza/Allen, though Jefferson’s owner might want Odom’s boards to make up for the load he’s losing.

@FD.

Thanks for all of your input, but I have one last question.
Is Jefferson/Lee worth Ariza/Allen/Odom?
Or should I just offer Ariza/Allen?

@WuMan: Tough call, since they’re fairly even.

Lee’s value comes mostly from his 2.2 steals per game and low turnovers, while CDR’s value comes from his high shooting percentages and scoring. CDR’s better all-around, but Lee helps a ton in the steals department.

If you haven’t heard yet, Speights is out until around January with a knee injury, so his near-term outlook isn’t good. (Elton Brand’s value, however, just saw a slight boost.)

@Duck: I like the Jefferson/Lee deal better for you.

Hi Doc,

Who is better in 9Cat H2H, Courtney Lee or Chris Douglas-Roberts? What do you think the near future out-look for Marreese Speights?

Thanks.

@FD

Thanks for the advice.
What do you think of this trade?
Someone offered me,
Gerald Wallace + J Terry for Ariza and R. Allen.

Someone also offered,
Al Jefferson + David Lee for Ariza/Allen and maybe Odom.

@where high ankle sprains happen: Not bad, but you’d be selling low on Jefferson. Kidd’s going to give you around top-80 value, while Jefferson could soon give you top-30 value. If possible, I’d wait until next week or the week after to see if Jefferson improves and then deal him off for a better PG.

@fear of the truth: Yes, definitely a reach, but if you can pull that off, more power to you.

@Ron: Not a bad deal, but you’re trading for more inconsistency, especially with Brooks and Millsap. If you’d benefit from the blocks and extra boards, it might be worthwhile.

Overall though, it’s tough to tell you not to do it. It’s basically Billups for Harris, which is near a wash, and Miller for Brooks and Millsap, which is hard to argue against.
