While Im at it, he needs a SF, I could give him Barry for free.
End rant.

Wow, at least when I dealt West I got back 1 amazing starter (Reed) 1 quality starter (Brody) and a future prospect starter (Ellis) this is just a steaming pile of shit. Can't tell you if a single player SA got will ever be a starter for a good team. Once again, John got bored and decided to poach talent for some magic beans

That said, SAS knows what they're doing (look at his record last season), and everyone wins some and loses some. |

For sure. I hope no one takes any of this as bashing Spurs GM in general, he's obviously done a great job there. This is more about this one particular trade being hilariously bad. |

I've dealt with SA once before (netting me said haul). This just seemed sudden and almost unnecessary with the squad he had. He most likely could have gotten 2 quality starters or fringe starters back for West and still been competitive with Hondo and Co. But yeah back to the subject at hand, this trade is laughable bad.... |

You still have time on Oscar...Baylor should be your objective before he falls off. My belief is it is London's goal to have all purple players on his team at one point or another. |

Yeah nothing bad against SA. Its just that the constant repeat of these types of deals is making me question is the sacrifice of time to try and build something in this league really worth it?

You have every opportunity I have to make a deal. In fact, in this case (as I understand it), you were the 2nd highest bidder - he just preferred Cairo 22 to your offer. If you feel something is unfair or you cannot compete given whatever circumstances you have we have 4-5 GMs on the waiting list. Just let us know soon so we can get someone in early. |

It's meant to be a fun hobby... if any part of what we do here seems like a 'sacrifice' then yeah it probably isn't worth it... Should be fun - nothing else. |

Question...if I sacrifice a goat to improve my chances of winning a title, can this still be considered fun? Or are we talking about two different things here? |

So yes sacrificing goats is acceptable.  |

I get where you're coming from. I have fun here, but it is frustrating to make a move to better your team only to see a London trade and know that the work you put into 1 trade is moot because he just hit another home run and gets better without losing considerable talent in return. I cringe every time I see London post a completed trade because it just makes me feel like another season without a shot to actually win a title. But what can you do? They'll gladly replace you as they said |

They'll gladly replace you as they said I see the winky-face and I know you're not 100% serious but (to look at this head-on) what should I do about it? Do you really want me to put in 75% effort and turn down trades? Would you all feel better knowing you beat a team that wasn't trying to win games? I mean what would you (not 'Dave' but whoever has an issue) want different? When I get usurped, I stop being usurped and try harder instead. True Story. |
