i just traded deuce mcalliaster & plaxico burress for tiki barber & terrell owens.

i may turn around and trade owens & k. faulk for t.j duckett & marvin harrison.

id say you got a little bit better deal. Mainly because Plaxico cant find the endzone this year.

burress was killing me. i am in a two player keeper league and he was my first pick.

now my roster goes like this.

t. green / t. brady
r. williams / k. faulk
t. barber / k. barlow
c. johnson / r. smith
t. owens / j. morton
t. heap / d. clark
j. kasey
49ers / vikings

as i said i am in a (2) player keeper league, williams and mcallister were my keeps from last year.

gotcha... looking at your roster i thought you meant you could only have 2 players at each position.

Eh. In a keeper-league, I would have held onto McAllister. Then again, I was all about trading Tiki after I drafted him in one league. He just fumbles too much and seems due for an injury. But that's just my line of reasoning. In the end, it's a pretty even deal.

tiki is right behind mcallister in points even with his fumbles. while burress is no where close to owens.

But Tiki is on the Giants. Automatically makes him worse.

Seriously, though. The Giants O-line suck and isn't getting better, and the Saints are starting to look pretty good. WR's are a lot easier to come by than RBs, and it isn't like Owens is flat out lighting it up. But, sure, you could make the arguement either way. You took the trade, so I know you like it. That's good. Like I said, I think it's about even...I just don't like the prospects for Barber as much as McAllister.

the giants are always a better team in the second half of the season, tiki is only 15 points behind mcallister and should close that gap by the end of the year. owens is 40 points better then burress.

we'll see how it turns out.

Well, I guess that's why you made the trade. I'm not bashing the deal at all...just offering the requested opinion.
