    Doesn't matter. Whatifsports does not account for that.

    Also, Devin Harris' Usage Rate is astoundingly high for a point guard. (especially one of his caliber.)
    You don't want a Devin Harris to have a similar usage as Dwill.

    Both Holiday and Gay had much lower rates. Gay, other than the fact he is much better than Granger, was perfect as a second fiddle.

    There are only so many possessions in a game, and whatifsports does the best it can with the stats given. Meaning, in this case, less shots for Dirk most of the time.

    @RedNation if I do this deal, would you trade

    Gordon, Bass for Harden, Monroe?

    @YSL I may accept anyway, just need to think it over.

    No I probably wouldn't give up gordon for any deal involving monroe. If it comes down to it I may end up sticking with my frontcourt.

    It's tough YSL, but I may decline. Afflalo to Harden isn't really that much of an upgrade, and I have Terry logging a bulk of the minutes there anyway. I don't know how I feel about Hayward as my backup 3 seeing as that is my weakest position. However, it seems like a fair trade overall so I will definitely think about it. Don't get too excited though...

    Gordon gets me about 20 ppg every game without putting up many shots.After I increased dalembert's minutes on the sim, he was getting a double double every game (his worst was 10 points 11 boards and his best was 14 points 18 rebounds). That kinda tells me that the sim isn't that realistic.

    Trade might looked bad for me, but I was getting bored with my line up. This draft is being delayed so long lol.

    Sounds about right. The boards are on par with his totals. He averages 8 rebounds in 24 min. I am assuming he is playing more minutes for you than that.

    Go check his game numbers this year. http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/991/samuel-dalembert Those numbers are really not out of the norm for him. Facor in that he is playing with Nash, and offense shouldn't be a real problem for him either, as he doesn't really have to create his own shot.(or shoot)

    Dalembert isn't a bad center he is just way overpaid. Sigh...I just wanted to try to get Gordon from you...

    Bad idea. Well actually for you it might be ok for you, but only you lol. Your usage rate for your bench is atrocious lol.

    By the way Eric Gordon is a very, very efficient 2 guard. That shouldn't be a surprise.

    If you play them 48 they should get fatigued. There is a fatigue percent thing if you put play by play on.

    Yup I tried 48. One game I beat spoon something like 146 to 110 but then It evened out and I started losing a bunch. Then I switched it back to original depth chart. My bench doesn't play much anyways.
