why dont you go raid knats team, i know he has some serious talent at the top


1, i dont have 4 waiver wire players to trade him to make an even deal

2, he isnt close to being that stupid

then why are you bitching to me


Im not bitching to you. I cant fault you for taking that deal.

Im talking in the overall landscape of the league, that isnt close to being a fricking fair deal.

you could have given up 2 more non waiver wire players and you still would have came out on top, and it would have been much closer to being a fair deal.



4 waiver wire players were traded, and im kind of insulted actually that someone could think that could be pulled off. but i guess im the only person that thinks that

i think okur is a borderline keeper.

bynum is averaging 13/8 with 2 bpg and 54% FG

he is also 21 years old. big men don't usually hit their development peak until 24 or so

when/if they trade odom, his stats will go up further

he put up 21/6/3/1 last year (with 1 3/game, 81% FT and 9.7 FT/night) in a much more constricted offense

it wasnt nearly as bad as this(not even close), but i think it was rmcc and port had a really shite trade at about this time when port was still in the running for the playoffs.

but at least it involved legit players

Plus Ron probably won't make the playoffs.


then he is as bad as we think he is at this

he gave up 2 players and got 6 new players, all which are very good

and dumped 4 waiver wire guys on his team

he's an idiot if he cant work with that.

i dont see why people can't comprehend this. it's similar to a real team trading a stud for minor league prospects.

but rick could have gotten more in return and consolidated those into better keepers.

i plan on trying to act as stout's agent to do something similar, but i'd never allow that trade with stout's guys

you dont think that trade is over board?


minor league prospects in this instance are guys that shouldnt even be on teams.


shite cut out 2 of the players on ricks side and i wouldnt even be bitching

but this is WAY the frick OVERBOARD. Like its not even close.

a 2 player deal for 6 players? thats unheard of

this trade is over board.

too much was given up by Rick. It's not even close to being a fair deal. Regardless of playing for next season or not.

I don't give a frick if you think I'm a bitch for vetoing. the veto function is there for a reason.

And IMHO it's to veto bs trades like this.

no because rick is better doing this going into next year. that is his goal.

in other words, if this weren't a keeper league it would have been crap.

i guess we all see if differently. the league knows what's best for the league. if it's bunk, it will be vetoed. it is funny that koufus is even in a trade though.
