I like Josh Smith much better, even though he has trouble staying healthy. Westbrook is a good little guard, but I am guessing Smith will score at least 3-4 more fantasy points per game than Westbrook even a year or two from now.

I could be wrong, Westy could get better, but I'd try trading Smith once he is healthy, he will get you more via trade I think.

Go after Sessions or Millsap

Yea, as healthy as he can be :)

He played on the 11th and there is no injury news on him. He is a talented player and I think he is only 23-24 years-old.

I wouldn't sell-low and whille I like Westbrook and think going after him is a good idea, Smith is worth a lot more. Trading Smith again isn't a bad idea but that's not enough if you ask me. Smith was on his way to being a possible stud before last season. This season has been rough on Smith owners.

Yea, im tempted to do this deal because i love Westy and think he will only improve next year. We all thought Smith could be a stud as well but this has been a set back for him.

Well it's not so far off that I'd call ya nuts if you did it. If you have a feeling about Westy and want to overpay, do it if you feel you have to in order to get the deal done. Sometimes I do that if I really like a guy and the owner that has him is higher on him than most. It forces you to overspend. I don't think it's crazy, let me say that. Westy has upside for sure. I dropped him in a small roster league and regret it for sure. I couldn't wait on him back then and his coaching staff wasn't using him. Now they are and now he is doing very well. I say go for it if you feel he is a must-have for ya, but you could try to get more from this owner in that same deal?

Yes i have that feeling that hes going to be a stud. I think he is going to make a strong case for ROY this year with a big second half. dam i kinda like Smith also. Im trying to get more for smith.

If your feeling is strong, go with your gut! Smith's injury history really is the wildcard and that could mean that Westy is worth more. It could backfire, but hey, worse case you have a guy real close to Smith anyway even if Smith is healthy and playing well? I mean, like I said, it could only be a 3 point per game difference if all is going well for Smith and that is a big if.

Try to get more, then if not, go with your gut. Your gut seems to be screaming Westy on this one!

Holy crap i accepted it. Whew! Its a risk im willing to take. I love westys future value and immediate value.

I got Marresse Speights with westy. That was the most this owner would give up. Hes another rookie from the Sixers.

I personally love it. Speights could be a nice addition since Brand is done for the season.

Didn't want to start another B-Ball thread but I've just been offered Bargnani for Gay. I'm really considering it. Thoughts?

My Keepers:
Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Pierre Thomas, Marques Colston

Btw, good trade on your part. J-Smoove is too overrated IMO and he will never develop into the premier forward with Marvin and Joe Johnson there.

Rumors of Gay getting traded to the Suns. I think his value jumps if that happens. Bargnani is hard to overlook though. I think I would sit tight. I'm really high on Gay though since he fills the stat sheet.

I am driving the Josh Johnson bandwagon……All Aboard

I just traded Gay/Scola/Azibuke for Bargs/Harrington/Andre Miller. Im in a 12 team keeper ball league so it works out for me.
