there are 2 idiots too

rather then bag on gavlatron for his bullshit i was thinking...

would you prefer to have a decent all around player like say mobley or a decent player that dominates a single category like korver or josh smith?

[cyanide]

I rather have 10 all around players than 10 players that dominate in a single category per player. Either way, you can't go wrong perhaps.

[air gordon]

heh that's not what i'm asking but that's ok

for me i'd much rather have the decent player who can dominate one category, especially if he dominates a stat like blocks or steals since those are difficult to get

[J@3]

I agree with that. I tried to pick 2 or 3 players who dominate a couple of categories each and pick up 1 or 2 all rounders.

[galvatron3000]

I'm not the only one that has offered bad trades and probably won't be the last, I try to be fair as possible without hurting my already pathetic team. It's real hard to make a trade that works for my team, heck if I'd been there for the draft I'd be better off but I wasn't so I have to make some kind of efforts and if I've made an offer you or anyone else doesn't like make a counter offer, my reason for making it known why I offer these trades are to atleast allow you(whoever) to know what I'm after either player wise or stat wise. Counter or reject no hard feeling on my part.
To answer your question AIR, I'd rather have a Korver or Smith over a Mobley type for this Fantasy game.

James,

we are having a nice battle here, I thought I'd have an advantage by morning but you went further ahead, I hope to put up an even better fight by weeks end.


Cy, I'm trying to get Knight from you, he's really the player I want but I had to include granger and whoever else(bell) to attempt a fair offer.


Is Kirilenko back? I tried to trade Butler for him knowing how injury prone he is but now Butler's in the starting lineup so maybe it's better for my team to keep him.

[cyanide]

I'm sorry, but how is:

Knight (13.0 ppg 3.5 rpg 8.4 apg)
Bell (12.4 ppg 3.4 rpg 2.2 apg)
Granger (8.4 ppg 5.4 rpg 0.6 apg 1.0 bpg in last 5 games)

for

Claxton (12.6 ppg 2.6 rpg 4.2 apg)
Atkins (6.8 ppg 1.4 rpg 2.5 apg)
Head (9.3 ppg 3.5 rpg 2.5 apg)

fair? The first two of my guys is clearly better than your first two guys, and Granger's blocks are more valuable than Head's inconsistency.

[air gordon]

Heck, if I'd known so many transactions were counting against me I wouldn't have done alot of them, though a small amount of them were accidental, I still hit the continue button so oh well but I'm playing within the rules and there is no injury list so I had to make some effort.

you are really full of shit

injury list??!! you didn't/don't even have one player that was/is on the inactive list because of a major injury . lol you have 36 transactions. that's twice as much as the next highest total. you're abusing the add/drop thing

too bad the only thing the commish does in this league is lock/unlock rosters, otherwise there wouldn't be this problem. i hope Legend can lock out all transactions come playoff time or at least limit them to 1 add/drop per week. but then again, maybe we don't have to worry about since your team won't make the playoffs

But, this will probably be my team for sometime because I've set my rosters for about 2 weeks so I'll see you guys, hopefully in 2006. blessed

lol i'll believe this when i see it happen

i probably wouldn't say anything or be bothered if the weasel would just stay quiet and not give some bullshit excuse for his behavior. btw- that top secret strategy seems to be working very well for him

[galvatron3000]

I'm sorry, but how is:

Knight (13.0 ppg 3.5 rpg 8.4 apg)
Bell (12.4 ppg 3.4 rpg 2.2 apg)
Granger (8.4 ppg 5.4 rpg 0.6 apg 1.0 bpg in last 5 games)

for

Claxton (12.6 ppg 2.6 rpg 4.2 apg)
Atkins (6.8 ppg 1.4 rpg 2.5 apg)
Head (9.3 ppg 3.5 rpg 2.5 apg)

fair? The first two of my guys is clearly better than your first two guys, and Granger's blocks are more valuable than Head's inconsistency.

Cy, I haven't scouted Bell, didn't think he was doing too well. I did take a look at Granger though, I refer to fair as to making a trade for 3 players for 3 players, by the numbers you are right in it not being fair but you have the option to make a fair counter offer if I have a player you want. I don't know how consistent Bell is and Granger is not actually making me jump up and down as I''ve said I want Knight I could careless about the other two.


Air,
I don't know what your problem is because you come out the blue making attempts to call me out, I am playing within the rules of the game. I was under the impreession T J Ford was injured, I know TIM Duncan is semi injurd, thus some very poor performances on his part(the week Jugs beat me), Diogu was not gettting any minutes or stats until I dropped him, Ostertag is injured, Mutumbo had a broken thumb or something so what part of injury did you not get. Look man, I've been straight up with you since we began this season so as of late I we may not agree or see eye to eye but I'm not trying to cheat anyone, make a counter offer, you offered me a very bad offer atleast once and I rejected it then you sent me a pm asking me not to reject the offer but to state why I rejected or make a counter offer, why can't you do the same. I don't feel it necessary to apologize for making any offers I've made even if they were bad because I've received plenty of bad offers, I state what I'm looking for and everyoonne here has a right to reject or counter, you make a fair counter offer, it's that simple. What BS, you don't agree fione and cool but it's not BS on my part it's just the way I see it and what I'm trying to do for the team I have, you seem to be making a bigger deal out of it and I'm not sure why. I drop and add more than I would like too and as I \'ve stated a few times were accidents, Diogu was not supposed to be dropped but I hit the button but I snatched him up as soon as I could. That is not my stragedy at all nor was it my stragedy from the beginning, my initial stragedy just didn't work out. If you care to continue making these childish remarks out the blue then that;'s you, I would prefer you didn't but that's me. I have a wife who's pregnant plus two children so I set the next few weeks because I was thinking I may not be on as much and actually haven't.

Cy, I'd like to get my hands on Knight though, so hit me up with an offer if you like or just let me know if I don't have anyone you'd like to get that I'd actually part with.

[air gordon]

ok guy- duncan & ford have played every game for their respective teams so far this season. mutombo and ogretag have combined to miss less then 10 games this year. so guess that's supposed to account for the 30 something amount of moves you made

and if there was an injured list, you wouldn't have been able to make all those add/drops to begin with since neither mutombo nor ogretag's injury were serious enough for them to be put on the IL

congrats on your wife and children..

[cyanide]

Wtf, I'm losing 7-5 against Matthew, and Jae's losing 12-1 to Legend? Ah, it'll all change by the end of the week

galvatron: I'll see what I can do with Knight. Congrats on your upcoming child!

[galvatron3000]

Man, have you seen my team. The point Air is I made moves because I didn't know how long they would be out(even if they weren't I get info from lots of places), I dropped Ostertag but I also resigned him, by the time I got Mutumbo I just said forget it. I actually didn't know that it counts against me in signing players when I drop them but I have to do something or I'd be in last place, there are some players I'd never drop and some I have to if production is not good, it's apart of the game's rules and I hope I'm abiding by them. I don't have the kind of team some of the guys here do because I wasn't the person who selected for my team in the draft, I was playing by ear so to speak because I have alot going on around me, especially during the early months. Ford didn't lose time but his production took hits so I have to compensate for areas I deem winable, Reb, assts being primary, thus I want Knight and also wanted your boy James, his points wouldn't help me against the top teams, preferrably Jae because I suck in that area. It may sound crazy to you but I needed James assists more which is why I want players that give high asst. totals. I don't bother Kevin much because he never makes trades, LOL. Thanks for the congrats too Cy & Air

P.s Mutumbo & Ostertag may not have been on the IL but they both didn't play and that hurt my team cause I signed Mutumbo because Ostertag was hurt not knowing Mutumbo had the thumb injury, now Murray could be out, Ford may or may not miss a game Duncan is cool but he hurt me a few times cause he's my best player and anchors my FG% , reb. & Blk.

[Amphatoast]

well this sucks. Marbury tonight decides to go 0-7 in 42minutes with 5points and 3 assist

[J@3]

Legend's only beating me by a tiny amount in every category, I'll probably be up by the end of the day.

This name changing thing is really begining to shit me though.

[galvatron3000]

well this sucks. Marbury tonight decides to go 0-7 in 42minutes with 5points and 3 assist

Hey, it's just one night. I've had a few of my good guys give me a bad couple of games in the same week then the next week when I'm playing someone else(after losing the previous week) give me super numbers. Go figure. He'll bounce back but it's a risk taking anyone from a Larry Brown team, try to trade for Billups

[air gordon]

you could have edited your draft list so don't use the excuse of not attending the draft for your team sucking monkey balls

P.s Mutumbo & Ostertag may not have been on the IL but they both didn't play and that hurt my team cause I signed Mutumbo because Ostertag was hurt not knowing Mutumbo had the thumb injury, now Murray could be out, Ford may or may not miss a game Duncan is cool but he hurt me a few times cause he's my best player and anchors my FG% , reb. & Blk.

i guess that mean's 36 more transactions are up on tap by next week

This name changing thing is really begining to shit me though.

what's the big deal. at least one Galvatron team is winning now

[galvatron3000]

you could have edited your draft list so don't use the excuse of not attending the draft for your team sucking monkey balls

I could have but I didn't know that, remember Legend asked me last minute, I had to be at work about an hour or so after he asked me and even though the draft took place about a day or two later, I was no where near my computer because I was at work and didn't have a clue about a fantasy league, I even told Legend that the day he asked.

i guess that mean's 36 more transactions are up on tap by next week

not really, I've learned more since I began so unless I can get someone special, I doubt it. Though, I may drop my newly acquired PF for obvious reasons.

[Jugs]

I changed my team's name to Jae because I wanted him to be last

But I changed mine back to Jugs =(

[shadowgrin]

i hope Legend can lock out all transactions come playoff time or at least limit them to 1 add/drop per week

I agree with locking out transactions for the playoffs.
Anyone who changes names should have their rosters locked for a week.

[air gordon]

haha so galvatron you're just a dumb noob to fantasy basketball. A for effort

I agree with locking out transactions for the playoffs. Thumbs Up

that's 2 so far. i think if the majority of the active owners agree as well, we should do this.

in the other daliy leagues i participate in that are very competitve, there is a $1 or $2 charge for each add/drop. then in the playoffs, you're allowed to do one add/drop but that costs $5.00.

since there is no money involved in this but people are putting some effort/being competitive, there should be some kind of rule against excessive add/drops

Anyone who changes names should have their rosters locked for a week. Twisted Evil

[Amphatoast]

im a noob to this stuff too, first time doing it
is it the top 8 that make it to the playoffs??

the only questionable move i think he made was signing jamal mashburn

[Jugs]

I'm also a noob to this stuff!!!!!!!

And I'm last!!!

[shadowgrin]

I'm a noob to this sort of fantasy thingy too!
I'm paying more attention to this one than the NBA Salary Cap Manager.

[galvatron3000]

yeah. I'm new to it. I'm already looking forward to making amends next year.

[cyanide]

I'm doing pretty well for a n00b But then again, I did have a little bit of experience several years back with Smallworld basketball.

[shadowgrin]

Pretty good for a noob to rip other people in trades.
What's your technique?
