Trade LJU for Bush (and picks)?!

[mabucfan]

I'm in a 14 team league that allows you to freeze a player for a max of 2 years - LJ is up for me. That fact, combined with KC's O-Line, unknown at QB, lack of WRs, and LJ just signing for big $ all make me VERY nervous about his potentail this year!!

 

Having said all that: would you make the following deal:

 

Give: LJ & 4th round pick (#45 overall)

Receive: Reggie Bush & 1st round pick (#2 overall) - NOTE: I can't freeze Bush next year either, but I can freeze whoever I get at #2

 

Players that I expect to be off the board include: LT, McGahee, Addai, Gore, Alexander, Bush, and Steven Jackson.

 

With the deal: At #2 then I'm looking at grabbing a player like Travis Henry/Westbrook/Ronnie Brown. (So, I leave round 1 w/ Bush, Henry, and maybe Roy Williams at 12)

 

 

Without the deal: If I stick at the #12 spot - I'm looking at Cedric Benson/Portis/Roy Williams/Carson Palmer (so, I leave round 1 w/ Bush & maybe Roy Williams).

 

What are your thoughts - deal LJ before the season starts, or hang on to him?

 

Thanks!

I think what you meant to say is, if you don't trade you end up with LJ and Roy, etc.

 

I like the trade and would hope to land FWP or Rudi J with that #2 overall.

You have it correct - sorry if I was long-winded!

 

If I do nothing: I leave round 1 w/ LJ & maybe Roy Williams

 

If I make the trade: I leave round 1 w/ Bush, a RB like Henry, and Roy Williams

 

What do you think?

 

BTW - Who is FWP?!

Do it! Then draft Fast Willie Parker.
