Yeah, trading is not my strong suit.

There is a chance that 3si could get skipped and you should seize the opportunity. Make on offer for my pick. Get #39 for the price of #40.

Jfrost, I can guess who you're targeting and i will most likely take that player should i keep the pick. So you may wanna avoid the risk and go ahead and make an offer.

After you announce a deal, please post the list of all sides' remaining picks in the same post so I can directly copy-paste them from there.

Sorry, there was no way I was trading 34...ask Sabonis, I traded up for that pick :wink:

BTW, I don't get the fascination with Brook Lopez. Sure he's got great %s, I see that, but his boards are almost a liability for centers, his blocks aren't that great, and he's regularly injured.He hasn't played a whole season since 2011. In fact, it's almost taken him 3 seasons to play a whole season.



I really like his fantasy game. Terrific combination of points/ blocks / high %'s (on a lot of attempts)/low turnovers. Injuries are certainly a risk but he actually never missed a game in his first three years and missed only 8 the year before. He is really hit or miss with regards to injuries. He either plays the entire season or misses it entirely.

that's what I thought about Yao, until the day he retired... big man with foot-knee problems are really tough to evaluate.

He made a bad move picking him regardless of whether the pick was traded for or not.


that's what I said to him exactly.

and on top of that I said this:
If you target player X at 34. And then trade up for 35 and pick Y at 35. If player Y has the better value, who wouldn't have lasted until 40, then you essentially traded up to get player Y. Not X..


Are you still on this? Your logic is still off. Your reasoning only works if I value Kobe higher than Ryno for my team. I don't. It doesn't have anything to do with who I think will last to 40. My big goal was to pair a high % big who can shoot 3s with Dragic. That was Ryno. I only traded up to get Kobe at 35 because I wanted a nice triple threat on points, 3s, & %s. Kobe was never a consideration for me at 34.

In fact, I made the deal for 35 AFTER I picked Ryno. (Check the time stamps). And I only made that deal because I thought 1) Kobe might not last until 47 (my next pick) and 2) I wasn't sacrificing much to do it. Now, would Kobe last until 47? maybe. But I was fine moving up for the drop at the back end.

Do you get it now Sabonis?

And I find Stick's commentary judging my choice in players ironic...considering where his team usually ends up in the standings. :) oh yes I did. 8)

I would like to file a complaint.

This trade screws up my plan to have 4 sets of consecutive picks.

I like the idea of only having to pick 4 times.

talking about Brian's reach for Ryan Anderson, I think MCW could be the biggest reach till now.

Well... I thought Favors was going to last more to the 55 range. Looks like I may have moved down in err.
