1. Decent center on a big deal with a big contract, 1 pick straight up and 1 "best of" pick between two playoff teams for Mills, Russell, Irish, McLellan
It's no 8 first round picks, but I'm just glad I made the list. |

And fwiw, Lou messaged initially expressing interest. I told him he could have him, give me a 2nd rounder. He offered to give me more, and I declined. Why?
1) Nobody, not one other GM sent me anything on him.
2) As an F you to you all for being so cheap and inactive.
That's what happens.
So a firesale is the best approach. Doesn't that impact competitiveness? You want to stick up your middle finger? The season just started and teams are trying to decide on what they need. We are not even close to the trade deadline. Another unreasonable answer. So what i am gathering is this league does not care about competitiveness. This is the second trade that doesn't make any sense. Am I missing something? The first being the Wizard and Jazzes player dump. http://rbslforums.phillyarena.net/index.php?topic=18964.0The last offer I received on Ramsey was the beginning of October. That's 3 months ago. I don't want to hear about waiting until the trade deadline. I posted several messages last season and this offseason requesting that a team offers ANYTHING for ANY of my players. I received 0 offers. So yes, this was an F you because I knew people like you would complain about the compensation I received in return. Further, what I do or do not do with my roster is not your issue. You don't see me posting all of the garbage offers you send everyone on here. It's quite amusing, because you'll proceed to complain, whine and argue with EVERYONE who rejects or questions an offer. Instead of making comments regarding the art of negotiating, I urge you to research the art of submitting an offer. I'm sure you're the type that would offer $250,000 on a million dollar property and then complain when they reject. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...stop justifying such a crappy deal and talking shit on me. I am competitive. With that in mind, your trade is shit. Just shit. and you know that or you wouldn't work so hard to justify it. I didn't say anything until you started yapping...and I can't resist when it comes to you. |

JazzGM - You guys keep bringing up my offers like it matters. If you don't like my trade offers don't accept them. But don't trash them...its part of negotiating. I don't know what or how you value. Its a gauge...you know that. You are a grown up. I don't care about my trade not getting accepted. I care about competitiveness. But thank you for paraphrasing, I am happy to see that your high school english classes paid off.
The problems with your trade was that you gave up a dynasty for nothing. Which you pointed out and that you are tired of dominating. But another way of saying that is...hey bro, i am tired of winning...now it is your turn. you just handed off your team to him. It made zero sense what so ever from a competitive point of view. It made all the sense in the world from a lets start over perspective. I find that very, very annoying and am saying something about it. This trade was just the catalyst. Who gives up a good center for a second round pick. Sure if they need to dump salary but that isnt the case. That team is rebuilding when they are active.
Regardless, the commissioner doesn't care then i will stop and i now understand how competitive this league really is.
Thank you for all your replies.

I only bring up your offers because some of them are worse than Ramsey for a 2nd, and Ramsey for a 2nd apparently calls the entire league into question. To respond about my trade, it actually did improve competitive balance because that Wizards team is clearly not as good as my Jazz teams, barring a very steep midseason improvement. And finally, I now understand how competitive this league really is.
With the league as uncompetitive as it is I look forward to seeing you winning a title very soon! |

How can the league not be competitive when the Eastern Conference has like . . . 13 teams who are trying to compete and making moves to make that happen?

I mean - the Fucking PACERS are 6-12. How is that even happening? THAT squad is going to get to add a lottery pick?

I'm going to lock this thread as it's starting to come off the rails. Everyone has said their piece.
