Pretty fair trade. Chandler and Faried are kind of a wash with Chandler having an edge since he's a consistent source of rebs/blks. I have Faried, and he has been pretty erratic all year. Playable, but you gotta expect bad games from him.
I have Afflalo and I love him. He has finally cooled off a bit after his unsustainable hot start, but he is still gonna be a 20/5/5 guy with a couple of 3's and a good FG% for an SG/SF. He's a more complete player statwise and has a higher ceiling than Jeff Green. The Magic are an extremely fantasy friendly team so that helps too. Never really liked Jeff Green. All he really does is score with some rebounds and some 3's with a low FG%. Now with the return of Rondo, it may eventually help his value, but I still like Afflalo over Green for the rest of the season.
Thanks for the reassurance brotha. I thought the trade was good for me since I've been sick of dealing with Jeff Green (got him as a throw in in a trade, never really liked him either lol), and I viewed Afflalo as less of a headache. I was just waiting for a game like today to boost Green's value to deal him. And sure enough someone wanted him. Never really trusted green and he killed my fg% every week with his volume shooting.
I did like Chandler better than faried though, but if Faried can get back to similar production as he had last season, I'll feel even better about the deal. He had a nice stretch a few weeks ago of beastly #'s, so I guess that's his upside.
