Trades

Trades in your league are an important part, but an optional part, in order to keep a good team. If you are a type of person attempting to try and get a team full of all stars, you are well aware of this feature. For others, you should know that you are allowed to have trades in the league. Players most traded for include stars like LeBron James, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. These guys are all very good players and are some of the sole reason some of the worst teams in the league survive. Despite them being such high valued, there are small players who make trades sometimes too. Most try to trick people into trades even, because they know how much of a benefit these players will be once they make it to the roster. Trades like this happen in the real NBA too, such as the big trade involving the Clippers, where the Clippers traded Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler, and a 2nd round draft pick, for Eric Dudley and J.j. Redick. As I am a Clippers fan, I loved this trade, as I am also a big J.J. Redick fan. Trades like this keep the league healthy, and may even give the Clippers a shot in the playoffs this year. These trades can do the same to your team in the league, and may even give you a shot to win the whole thing yourself. These are all the reasons why trades are such a big deal in the league, and are optional, but may improve your team if it is not already good enough.
