As you have already heard (or should have heard), rumors are circulating around the league of a possible deal involving the New York Knicks, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Los Angeles Clippers.

New York Knicks: The Knicks would get Center Marcus Camby and Power Forward Channing Frye.

Portland Trail Blazers: The Blazers would get Power Forward David Lee.

Los Angeles Clippers: The Clippers would get Small Forward Quentin Richardson.

Fantasy Breakdown: Fantasy owners that have Marcus Camby should be ecstatic about this trade. With Chris Kaman approaching a return some time this January, Camby’s numbers would certainly drop. If he were sent to New York, he would fit in rather well with D’Antoni’s system of run-and-gun offense.

Marcus would be the Knicks main rebounder and raise his fantasy value, making him one of the best Centers in fantasy NBA.

David Lee’s fantasy value could rise or fall, depending on the amount of minutes he gets per game. He would obviously come off the bench in substitute for Channing Frye. If he can average consistent minutes night in and night out, his fantasy appeal will be similar to what it is right now.

David Lee owner’s should not panic for two reasons: one being it is just a trade rumor, and two being that if he does get traded, his chances of playing a solid amount of minutes are good.

Marcus Camby and David Lee are the two players that have major fantasy impact in this trade rumor. If you listen to these daily fantasy tips in LayupDrill’s Fantasy Tips section periodically, your fantasy team will not only improve, but also have a great chance at making it to the playoffs.
