Fantasy Basketball Dynasty News: Trade for Chris Kaman February 2013

By: Jake Bielecki

Generally when you're rebuilding in keeper/dynasty leagues, trading for a 30-year-old in the tail end of his prime is not advised.

Dallas Mavericks center Chris Kaman is the exception to that rule. If he is rotting on a contending team's roster in your league, his lingering concussion issues provide an ample buy-low opportunity.

Outside of targeting an injured player, here's why a rebuilding team should buy on Kaman: He's a consistent 13/7/1 big man who hits his free throws, good stuff. He's on a Mavericks team stocked with big men, a team he will in all likelihood not play for next season considering his one-year contract.

Shortsighted managers may see a sidelined player who will only receive 20 minutes a game when he returns. Those in it for the long haul should consider that he is still good enough to play 25-30 minutes a game for many teams. It's also in his best interest to choose a team that will offer him those minutes in free agency next season.

Trade now and enjoy the rewards during the 2013-14 fantasy basketball season.
