Ziki Likes to Go Big or Go Home

Sometimes it's fun to poke the bear. That's exactly what happened with Joey when he offered Rajon Rondo to Ziki in exchange for Anthony Davis. We're not exactly sure why Joey would want to trade Rondo for Davis when Joey need Rondo's assists and steals with Chris Paul out. Davis also helps in rebounding and blocks, which are two categories Joey shouldn't be focusing on. Either way, Rondo isn't playing full minutes right now and Davis is clearly the better player. Ziki must've been offended by the offer because he came back even stronger.

Ziki gets: Lebron James
Joey gets: Anthony Davis

Trade offer rating: 7 stars

On the surface you're thinking this should be a 10 star rating. Lebron James is the #1 player in real life basketball and fantasy basketball. You would consider trading Lebron for Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry if you had needs in other categories, but chances are you're not trading Lebron in a 1-for-1 deal unless you really need those categories. Anthony Davis is a really good player, but he's clearly at least one level down from Lebron if not two. His frail nature also gives cause for concern.

Still the deal only gets 7 stars because Joey instigated the whole thing with his poor trade offer. The rating for this trade indicates it's a bad trade, but it also indicates that you do not want to anger Ziki. He is not amused by your pathetic trade offers as an attempt to mock him. He will come down on you with his wrath by showing you no one, and I mean NO ONE, can put together lobsided trade offers like the Great Ziki. Shame on you Joey for even stepping into that ring.
