Focusing on that is usually a worthless cause, especially since it's such a fickle category. It seems like you'd want to target a point guard to help you in FT% and assists. 1) I wouldn't trade him now, since he'll only get you 50 cents on the dollar. Wait until he comes back and put together a few decent lines. Yes, he has some competition at the SG spot, but Gordon doesn't take long to get hot. 2) It is wise to sell high on Evans, but of those guys only Gasol is worth the trade. However, given your need for a solid point guard (especially since Udrih will also be knocked down a bit once K-Mart returns), I'd reject all of those offers and look for a solid PG.

My Line up is: Beno Tryeke Kevin Martin Ben Gordon Dunelevy Deng Speight Gay Kaman Iguodala Brooks D. Howard R. Jefferson Bosh Jarad Dudley (a spot used it as an add-drop player for more games advantage during the week) 1) What's the value of Ben Gordon ? he's listed as day-day but missed almost 3 weeks of games already. Should I have him trade low? as Hamiltion is coming back anyway so he might not be as productive even he's back. 2) I m currently have quite a few offers for Tyreke. My options are Gallinairo, Marc Gasol, or Peja. Any of them worth the trade? Thanks for the advice n merry christmas hi doc,

The second one, no, mostly because of O'Neal and his fragility. @BROY: I like the first offer – it’s pretty fair. The second one, no, mostly because of O’Neal and his fragility.

Try for a two-for-two and aim at players of equal value. @Duck: Go for what stats you want in return. Try for a two-for-two and aim at players of equal value.

I have a 9 person league.
Got some good trades in.
Had a major mistake at the beginning of the season though.
Who should I aim for with RAllen and Tim Duncan? Any specifics people?
2 for 2 or 1 for 1?

Camby's worth more than that. But it's not the worst deal and it could help to dump Ford now that he's coming off the bench. The second one is quite intriguing. I'd probably lean toward taking it, though as you know, Jefferson will have more years of productivity than Arenas. @hb in az: I’m not ecstatic about the first one. Camby’s worth more than that.

Nice squad. You seem like you're in a shallower league, which makes it difficult to make too many trades, save for waiver wire swaps. The only thing I can think of is to consider trading Ray Allen and Tim Duncan in the future. Both are sure to get some rest (DNPs even) down the stretch, which isn't good for fantasy playoffs. I'd also think about packaging a couple of your forwards to bulk up your SF spot, which could benefit from a more reliable player. @Duck: An early Merry Christmas to you as well.
