    ray allen for lee and odom? you get a 40% 3 point shooter and top sg defender in lee to replace allen as well as odom the 6th man of the year to help out your weak bench

    i actually think allen would actually be worse than lee for your team. hes a worse defender but a better clutch scorer (pretty useless when you have lebron and chris paul on your team). hes also 36 years old making him much worse in transition offense which is key to a team built around lebron. I can offer Millsap instead of odom if you like him more

    If the offer is good noguh I'll consider it but I think afflalo is better than lee right now

    Ray's ridiculous shooting and ability to get off a 3 point shot in so many different ways are important to my team when Paul or Lebron drive to the hoop. Lee is a good spot up shooter but he doesn't have near the ability of Ray to get off the shot regardless of who's on him and where he is on the floor.

    what do you think about millsap and lee for allen? he would be a huge uprade over varejao who only averages 9 points per game. millsap is one of the best two way pf's +++stronk guy wut say u

    I'll pass on Millsap. I'm happy with my front court right now - no, they're not huge threats on offense but that's why I have Paul, Ray Ray and Lebron...my big men will get easy easy anyway buckets because of those 3. What's important to me is keeping my ridiculous defense. I just wish I could get Lamar for my bench...

    Lol, they both have the same offensive AND defensive rating. I haven't looked at the contracts, but whoever has the cheaper player gets a steal.

    i wouldnt be taking varejao. the trade would be allen/whoever for millsap/lee. also you cant just look at ratings to tell how good someone is. can you honestly watch a game between millsap and varejao and say they are the same on offense?

    Not really - ortg and drtg are heavily influenced by the player's team. Varejao had a 108 drtg on the historically terrible Cavs last year, but in the year before when the Cavs had Lebron his ortg was 123 and his drtg was 102. Millsap is a better offensive player and Varejao is a better defensive player - that much is clear from watching them..but their ortg and drtg from last year won't tell that story.

    I'm focusing on the defensive part here. I just thought it was weird that two random players I looked up have the same rating in both categories. So, you wanna trade me Dwight now.
