This Week’s Topic

Last week we discussed some general trade advice. This week, let’s get specific. With most fantasy league trade deadlines inching closer and closer, which player(s) will you be targeting to acquire as a “buy low?”

And/or is there someone you would suggest trading away because you view
him as a “sell high” candidate?

My Response

A player that I am targeting as a “buy low” candidate is Phoenix’s Jason Richardson. As of Feb. 6, he has averaged just 12.7 ppg for the Suns. He was also averaging 14.5 points, which is just a shade above his career worst of 14.4 ppg as a rookie.

He just hasn’t performed to his fantasy draft level this year. That all could change with an Amar’e Stoudemire trade. The Suns would need someone to fill the scoring void, and J-Rich is a natural choice.

He’s an attractive option for fantasy teams because, aside from his scoring, he’s a good rebounder for a guard, hits a bunch of three’s, and gets about a steal a night.

A player I’d try to include in the deal is Corey Brewer. He’s playing out of his mind, but could easily hit a wall considering he’s coming off a knee surgery. Plus, the way Kurt Rambis tweaks his lineup, you never know when Corey’s role will change.
