    I know a lot of this depends on a team's needs and the league settings.... our Yahoo! league tracks 10 items per week, and you go head-to-head getting a point in each of the categories you won for the week. 10 items are FG%, FT%, 3-pointers made, Offensive boards, total boards, points, blocks, steals, assists and assist-turnover ratio.

    1) Ben Wallace for Danny Fortson
    2) Shaquille O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace for Shawn Marion and Kevin Garnett
    3) Raef LaFrentz for Predrag Stojakovic
    4) Shaquille O'Neal and Stephon Marbury for Baron Davis and Kobe Bryant.

    I won't say what side I'm on on any of these offers because I'd love to hear your honest feedback. I've only agreed to one of the offers.

    Thanks...

    1. i say yes, fortson can score much better than wallace, only downer is the blocks

    2. Its debatable but i think i need a better player than marion to move shaq, unless hes killing you at the line and your league counts techs

    3. do you start 1 center or two, and i presume raef qualifies, i love peja though so if hes unnecessary i doubt you could get more

    4. the last trade very close, once again on free throw shooting, plus rebounding worries me so id stick with shaq

    1) Ben Wallace for Danny Fortson

    No, Wallace is an absolute beast while Danny has chemistry and injury difficulties.

    2) Shaquille O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace for Shawn Marion and Kevin Garnett

    No, As much as I despise Shaq, he simply dominates night in and night out.

    3) Raef LaFrentz for Predrag Stojakovic

    Depends on the team strengths. I'd go with Peja though.

    4) Shaquille O'Neal and Stephon Marbury for Baron Davis and Kobe Bryant.

    No, Shaq is a better fantasy player than Kobe and Stephon has found a groove in Phoenix.

    Now what would make you think that we would give biased answers?
    :)

    1. Yes. Because it is fantasy, Fortson looks to be a better pick

    2. No. Shaq is statistically one of the best every night. KG and Marion are both good. but IMO not as good as the combination of Shaq and Rasheed

    3. No. Stojacovich is the better scorer and almost as good a rebounder.

    4. No, Shaq is better than Kobe, and Marbury is better than Davis.

    1)I would take Ben Wallace over Fortson.I had Ben last year and I have him this year in another league and he is doing better if anything.Fortson can obviously put up a bit more numbers because his ability to score but he IS Fortson,He hasent played a year yet without getting injured and may be traded,if that happens you dont know what will happen,like if his destination is Denver,when Mcdyess finally comes back his numbers wil go down,even now in GS,if Jamison starts playing well his numbers could go down also.

    2)I would keep Shaq and Sheed even though Sheed isnt one of my favorite players he usually gives you between 40-50fp and Shaq is Shaq.To trade them both for KG and Marion would be a pretty close deal with whoever's getting Shaq and Sheed coming out on top.

    3)I would take Stojakovic over Lafrentz anyday,only way I would do this trade is if I was loaded at forward and had no decent centers to play and this is the best deal I can get.

    4)Another pretty even trade but I still think whoever is coming out of the deal with Shaq and Marbury will get the best out of this deal.Marbury and Davis are almost identical,I would probably rather have Baron.This leaves the deal with only Shaq and Kobe which Im not going to lie, I hate Kobe almost as much as I hate Duncan so Im a little biased.

    1) Ben Wallace for Danny Fortson

    Ordinarily I would rather have Fortson, but it really depends on who else you have at center, since the center position is generally pretty scarce. Fortson is a much bigger injury risk than Wallace, but when healthy he is the better player.

    Slight Advantage: Fortson


    2) Shaquille O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace for Shawn Marion and Kevin Garnett

    No chance in hell I would make this one. Rasheed and Marion are about equal and Shaq outperforms Garnett (and pretty much everyone else, too).

    Large Advantage: Shaq & Rasheed


    3) Raef LaFrentz for Predrag Stojakovic

    I'd rather have Peja, although center scarcity may come into play here depending on who else you have at center.

    Medium Advantage: Stojakovic


    4) Shaquille O'Neal and Stephon Marbury for Baron Davis and Kobe Bryant.

    This trade is clearly unfair. The side getting Shaq and Marbury wins by a landslide.

    Huge Advantage: Shaq & Marbury
