However, I think this board has largely over-rated the AD trade opportunities. Personally, I'm no more comfortable waiting than I am trading. Waiting until the summer assumes 1. The market is better 2. AD didn't get injured again 3. His value is relatively "better" than it is now. Maybe that's true, but that just feels like a coin flip to me.
The Atlanta trade they have listed looks the best, but also looks too complicated. At least with that one Gafford is still in play.
That Atlanta trade is terrible. Lavine probably has negative value with that contract and you are trading AD to reset for the future, so why would you want to trade for another expensive guy in his 30s? And that 26 pick is lottery protected and turns into a 32 second. That trade makes zero sense.
