Not a fancy guy to own by any means but has his spot at the bottom of several of my PG lists. I drafted him in several leagues with past performance in mind, the fact the Rubio has been out, and not counting on Shved stepping up.

How badly is Ridnour's production/mpg going to be hurt once Rubio comes back now that Shved is high on the list? Is this the time to trade him away while he still has value?

He will be traded (my 2c).

He'll be a fringe player so, yes, if you can get some value you should do it.

League - 14 team 9cat h2h (3% instead of TO). 

It seems reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. I dropped him a while ago, but scooped him up today since Shved was demoted to a reserve role then got hurt and Rubio is playing so poorly. If luke gets 30mpg starting alongside Rubio like last year he could have decent value going foward.

I had always said early on that Ridnour would be solid along with Rubio, and that Shved wouldn't make much difference. But after Adelman made his remarks about Shved a few months back, I started drinking the Kool-aid, like a few other fantasy managers. And I almost took too much. 

I'm going back to my original thoughts, and stick to the thinking that Ridnour would be the smart compliment to Rubio. But I also agree with toni on this one...Ridnour should get traded in order to make room for a Rubio/Shved backcourt with Barea backing up both slots...IF Adelman likes Shved THAT MUCH!

Otherwise, we're looking at a real mess in Minnesota's backcourt for the rest of the season...can anyone say "Don Nelson Lite"?
