Gonna look back at all my trades this year and see how I did.
1. IN: Eric Gordon. OUT: Tiago Splitter. Um, I won.
2. IN: Carmelo Anthony and Zach Randolph. OUT: Pau Gasol, Andray Blatche, and Jason Terry. Gasol wasn't quite as studly as I thought he'd be, and Randolph has been a monster, so this one's a clear win for me.
3. IN: Deron Williams, Hedo Turkoglu, Anthony Morrow. OUT: Darren Collison, Jason Richardson, Robin Lopez. Deron has been awesome all year. I sold high on Collison, though he's been resurrecting himself the last few weeks. I call this one a wash.
4. IN: Kevin Durant, Boris Diaw. OUT: Carmelo Anthony, Zach Randolph, Toney Douglas. I knew I was slightly overpaying for Durant, and I felt good about Melo's numbers sliding, but no way did I see the kind of production Zach's been putting up this year. This is my first clear LOSS. But I still like that I did it.
5. IN: Rudy Gay. OUT: Eric Gordon. Meh. Slight win.
6. IN: Kevin Love, Glen Davis, Richard Jefferson. OUT: Deron Williams, Rudy Gay, Anderson Varejao. On talent, this one's a clear LOSS. Deron and Rudy are still keeping it up, and as long as they do Ben wins this one.
7. IN: Dirk Nowitzki, Joakim Noah. OUT: Blake Griffin, Richard Jefferson. LOL@PSYCH. WIN
8. IN: Andrew Bogut. OUT: Mike Conley, Andrei Kirilenko. AK's been awesome the last few weeks, and Conley's stayed steady, so I'll call this a push.
