Hussein Mahdi - Tyrell Moodie

For SWISH, they're going to get a lot of everything from Hussein Mahdi. Mahdi can score, rebound and block shots. He's 6th in the league in rebounding at 9.3 per contest and 2nd in blocks per game at 1.3. The only downside is his struggles from the free throw line. Great add on for SWISH as they rank 2nd last in rebounds averaging 32.7 rebounds per game, compared to Unruly and The Investment Academy who are tied for  1st at 43.0 rebounds per game.

For The Investment Academy, Tyrell Moodie fills a spot  
He's shooting 46.2% and shooting 50% from the field. He doesn't shoot enough in my opinion and should look to assert himself a bit more. Moodie also helps on the defensive end as he sits in 4th in steals per game at 2.3 per contest. A weakness for The Investment Academy so far has been three point shooting where they have been awful shooting 15% which is good for dead last in the league. This acquisition helps in that area.

Connor Bradley - Gabriel Ferreira

For SWISH, they're getting a guy who does a little bit of everything in Gabriel Ferreira. He can shoot the ball, rebound the ball and play D.
He's shooting the 3 at 33.3% but will likely get more open looks with the bigs SWISH has in the paint.

For Box Out, they've picked up a player that hasn't been able to find a role with SWISH as one of four guards. He now joins a team that could use a player of his skill set. No player has shot the 3 well at all. If Bradley can become that guy it's going to be a huge plus for Box Out.

A busy week with a total of 3 trades and I think all of them have been good ones. Each team was able to address a major weakness with these deals. Look for more activity as we near closer to the trade deadline on the 28th.
