    Yup, Rose is on my fantasy team now, and you're absolutely right, Emjohn. I wanna strangle him. He's not good for anything. Nothing. At all. I pity the Raptors for paying him $14M.

    Since it's not 'our' $$$, would anyone seriouly be averse to:
    Rose + Alston for Mo + Spoon + Lue & Marshall for TE?

    I dont watch Marshall play at all, but every time I've had him on my squad, hes always putting good numbers across the board in every category. I dont know if hes selfish or a bad team player, but stats wise, hes pretty damn good

    Marshall's career rebounding numbers aren't that better than Howard's, and I've never been impressed with his defense and overall effort. At this point in his mediocre career, he's not worth gutting a roster for (not even for half-ass roster like ours).

    12.5 reb per 48/min career for Marshall

    v.

    9.6 reb per 48/min career for Howard

    I would agree that hes not worth gutting our roster for, but he would help us.

    Fanstasy wise, Marshall is a stud cuz he gets 3's, rebounds, points, and has a good FG percentage. Contrary to what I'm reading here, he's not much of a shot blocker. And he's too undersized to guard western conference 4's.

    But we may just need a change.

    I remeber back in the days when I watched Marshell play for the GSW when I lived in the Bay Area. I had high hopes for him back then, but IMO, Marshell is a pretty good shooter, but he's darn streaky. At least he's got some very long lanky arms, and would probably help with the boards.

    I also think it would be a improvement cuz he brings another dimension to the 4 spot. Taylor and Howard are basically the same type of players. In addition, Marshall could play some 3. At this point, we have to shake things up.
