Class Time! With a little homework.

Alright, time to go all School Teacher on you ballers again. Look, I love the trade questions, hell I live for the trade questions you all shoot me in the comments section of this blog. I’m here to help and make sure you win. But you need to meet me halfway here and give me the right kind of information! What I need you to do is (rather than just giving me a list of players on your squad) I want to see where your starting rotation is in terms of Average Stats Per Game. You can give me this info for PTS, ASSTS, STLS, REB, BLK, and 3’S. This is VERY easy for you to do, and it will help me target EXACTLY what you need. Once you send me those numbers, I can compare with the ‘Secret Sauce’ and in turn tell you what Buy Low player is best for you and which Sell High player you should deal. Alright, so for instance with rebounds, this is how you calculate:
 
Take each player on your starting roster and write down how many rebounds per game they average this year. You can find this information very easily on their yahoo or espn sports profile page. So you’d have something like:
 
Kobe Bryant = 5.5
Paul Pierce = 4.6
Dwight Howard = 12
 
(obviously your starting rotation has more than 3 players, but I’m keeping this example simple. You likely have more like 10). OK, then you need to add these numbers together: 5.5 + 4.6 + 12 = 22.1. Finally divide by the number of starters on your team: 22.1 / 3 = 7.36.  
 
7.36!! This is how many rebounds per game my team above is averaging. Tell me this number, tell me the same for points, 3’s, ast, stl, and blks. In turn, we will be able to assess where you are weak and where you are strong by comparing them to my Secret Sauce numbers. NOW instead of you saying ‘should I trade for LaMarcus Aldridge?’ and me advising you to do so because he is a good buy low, I can say ‘NO, you’re all set in Rebounds, in fact you’re very strong in rebounds! Let’s Sell High on one of your rebounding guys and Buy Low on a 3 point guy where you need help!’.

Whether you play ROTO or H2H, this is Crucial information for me to know and especially for you to know.
 
Simple steps that will go a long LONG way towards helping me, help you, to DOMINATE!
 
*now don’t just stand there, get out your calculator and pump some numbers. This is crucial information for you to have and it will take roughly 10 minutes to complete!*
