SELL

 

DEMAR DEROZAN – G/F – TOR

DeMar is the future of the Raptors.  With Toronto searching for their next Tracy McGrady/Vince Carter, DeRozan is the closest thing this franchise has had in years.  The only problem with that statement, is that DeRozan is not even close to talented enough to dominate this role all season.

Kyle Lowry is getting healthier, Bargs is returning, Jose Calderon needs his minutes, Terrence Ross is developing, Alan Anderson is stroking it, and Landry Fields eats up minutes because of his defense.  All this adds up to a good reason to sell DeRozan now before his value really drops.

Target: Wesley Matthews. Andre Iguodala. Danilo Gallinari.

 

NIKOLA VUCEVIC – C – ORL

Nikola is enjoying time as the only big man in Orlando.  With the return of Big Baby Davis, Nikola should see a sharp decrease in production across the board.  Glen Davis not only eats up rebounds, but he eats up shot attempts.  He not only eats up shot attempts, but he eats up minutes where Gustavo Ayon could now be subbing in for Vucevic.  Nikola has emerged as one of the Top Centers in Fantasy Basketball after this short period of time, and now is the time to cash in.

Target: Brook Lopez. Nikola Pekovic. Joakim Noah.

 

PAUL GEORGE – G/F – IND

I have been telling you to sell Indiana Pacers in nearly every Trade Market article.  Now we are approaching the reason leading up to all of this.  The Pacers will soon have Danny Granger back.  While most of you are familiar with his BUST season in the 2011-2012 campaign  Danny is one of the most talented SF’s in the game.  He will not only eat up minutes, he will eat up shot attempts.  He will turn Paul George into a great SG, but a SG that is not nearly equivalent to what he is now.

Target: Paul Pierce. Blake Griffin.

 

RYAN ANDERSON – F/C – NOH

He may lead the league in 3PTMs.  That is not enough when you really look at Ryan Anderson as a whole this season.  He is coming off the bench for a terrible Hornets team.  With budding star Anthony Davis playing inconsistent, that has opened the door for Anderson more recently as of late.  With Robin Lopez not really a future for this Hornets team, but 100x the defender Ryan Anderson will ever be.  Anderson is going to leave you some very cold inconsistent nights where you were better off playing Earl Clark.

Target: Tristan Thompson. Andrei Kirlenko.

 

TY LAWSON – G – DEN

Finally Ty Lawson is starting to show some consistency and play like the 2nd round guard most of you drafted him as.  Well now is the time to sell him as he clearly has not shaken away Andre Miller from playing major minutes every night.  Ty Lawson does have huge upside as a Fantasy PG in this league, but his inconsistency and the threat of Miller being the PG on more nights than one would hope, makes Ty an immediate player to trade.

Target: Damian Lillard. Greivis Vasquez. Deron Williams. Steve Nash.

 

TIM DUNCAN – F/C – SAS

Big. Ancient. Old.

Three things that scream, “I am going to slow down at some point this season.”  While we always think this about Duncan, he always continues to prove us wrong.  Which is why you should trade him now since you can get MAX value for a player who does have a chance to decline.  When you look at the options that you can grab for Duncan.  There is no reason to hesitate passing on 20/10 PFs.

Target. Blake Griffin. Josh Smith. Zach Randolph. Dwight Howard.

 

JORDAN CRAWFORD/BRADLEY BEAL – G – WAS

Now that John Wall is back.  You can now fear a timeshare between Jordan Crawford and Bradley Beal.  While Beal may have not done enough to warrant trade consideration to other teams, he is a good player to throw in at the end of the deal to push what you really want.  He has been scoring 15+ Points a game consistently, but this was with Jordan Crawford injured.  Now that John Wall is getting his legs under him, it is time to move on from both players as they will be splitting time, and the hot hand each night.

Target: Andre Iguodala. Metta World Peace. Arron Afflalo.

 

DAVID LEE – F/C – GSW

While David Lee is maybe a Fantasy MVP candidate thus far.  His amazing numbers will take a small decline with Andrew Bogut returning.  The rebounds will go down, and the post will have another big body in the way.  David Lee will still be able to make it happen, but right the world is your oyster.  You can choose just about NBA Superstar for David Lee, and now is the time to grab him.  Wait for it..

Target: Kobe Bryant. Dwight Howard. Chris Paul. Russell Westbrook.

 

KEMBA WALKER – G – CHA

While we all want to believe Kemba is going to be a version close to his 30 Point per game self.  Those days are over.  The Bobcats have the strongest backup Guard combo with Ramon Sessions.  I will keep preaching this before it’s too late since I mention Kemba in every Trade Market Article.  Unload him quick, his value is dropping by the day.

Target: Steve Nash. Ty Lawson.

 

THADDEUS YOUNG – F – PHI

Thaddeus is a BEAST.  The man can tear it up and put up amazing numbers.  What he cannot do, is consistently be the BEAST he is when Andrew Bynum returns.  Right now continue to roll with Thaddeus for the rest of the month, but when you feel there is a time you can target Blake Griffin, Josh Smith, or even Zach Randolph.  Jump on it.  Because the 76ers a great team with a lot of good players.  They don’t need Thaddeus to be a STAR every night.

Target: Josh Smith. Blake Griffin. Zach Randolph.
