Hello Kidd

I can’t stop tinkering with my fantasy basketball team. My team has pulled away a little from #2 and #3 but things change quickly.
Fri, Jan 2 11:56 AM PST my trade for Kidd was accepted after many trades and counter-trades. It went go through Sun, Jan 4 12:28 PM PST. It looks good based on the 2009 stats.
| PR | PRK | GP | FG% | FT% | 3PM | REB | AST | STL | BLK | PTS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodney Stuckey | 3.84 | 18 | 30 | .471 | .764 | 0.4 | 3.2 | 5.1 | 1.3 | 0.2 | 13.5 |
| J.R. Smith | 3.53 | 19 | 34 | .449 | .685 | 1.9 | 3.9 | 2.2 | 0.9 | 0.1 | 13.6 |

| Jason Kidd | 10.85 | 2 | 33 | .413 | .769 | 1.5 | 6.4 | 8.5 | 2.5 | 0.5 | 8.6 |
The trade looks good because, except for FG% and PTS, Kidd outperforms Stuckey. Kidd really is stellar for steals and has great rebounds for a point guard. However Stuckey sometimes has games as though he is the next Dwayne Wade like this game on Jan. 2 where he scored 38 points, adding seven assists, two steals, and four rebounds. It made me wish I hadn’t consummated the deal. In fact before I offered Stuckey and Duhon for Kidd and canceled because Stuckey soon scored 40 points. At least I was able to trade for Kidd for a cheaper price.
Update: Last night Kidd scored 0 points while Stuckey had a stellar game with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals. I hope Kidd is not hurt. I am regretting this trade more and more. Maybe I should stop trading.

If you stopped trading now, would it be similar to buying high and selling low?
