Another Move!

Later Hosen drop Michael Finley for Anthony Carter

Michael Finley's, the Hosen's 18th round pick, has been a fantasy stalwart for years, a low-negative, across the board contributor. In his best year, he averaged 22/6/5...but that was 1999. In his heydey, he was a good steal man as well. Finley is now 35, and averaged 10/3/1.5 last year in a pseudo-sixth man type of role. Some have predicted a slight uptick in his numbers with Manu out for a while, but it's unclear if his aging legs will generate more than 11/3/1.5 3s.

Anthony Carter is supposedly the starting PG for the Nuggets. He averaged 8 PTS, 5 AST, and 3 REBs last year, by far his best. At 33, Carter is no spring chicken himself, and though he occasionally has a breakout 21/5/11 line, there's a lot of 7/2/3's in his past.

Judgment: We might be missing something (the Hosen should comment if we are!), but we don't see the 'point' - the Hosen are giving up PTS and 3s to get a few assists and steals. While it's true that they don't need the 3s, they also don't really need assists. Finley may end up on a roster sooner rather than 'Later'.
