Spring '13 GMAT Discussion Thread

Post #161 » by **Jake0890** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:41 am

Don't get the wrong idea here, my feelings aren't hurt and I'm not bummed because BNess thinks my team sucks now. It's just there are pretty obviously some better reserves that could take over and do a better job, and its fair to say you all would agree, so it's probably best to let a reserve take over.

Maybe in the future I can try again (third time is the charm), but seeing as I'll probably be blocked from the next game, it will be awhile.

Have fun.

Jake, I'm not sure that you need to leave just because bness doesn't like your team. He's a very vocal guy, and him giving you a hard time was anything but personal. I don't think you should quit.

Honestly, I tend to agree. I know it wasn't personal, and having fun should be the priority, regardless of outside input. If you were enjoying the process of talking shop and moving pieces and you don't love the end result, try again next time. I know for me, it's the process which is why I tend to screw up my teams pretty often. However, I love trading so even if others don't love my moves or think I deal too much...it's ok. Don't get down just because of a few comments. As long as you're active, it's all good.

*Bness meant no harm

It's easy to give u a hard time when u get the best team cuz there's no where to go but down. I think if u end up keeping sanders and harden and get some good value for your other players I like your team.

Don't hate the player, hate the game, Bness. 8-)

Have fun.

Your front-court is pretty awesome though. Harden is a ball dominant guard who can takeover when necessary, so having Chalmers as your PG camping out at 3 to hit big shots isn't not bad at all. Parsons is a stud & you still have a strong bench.

Jake, you don't need to quit. We've all made questionable decisions at one point or another (I sure as hell did and still do), happens more often with less experienced players. It's a learning process. Nobody's trying to grill you over a mistake, everyone's a critic and that's just how it is. If you want to keep playing I'm all for it. Nobody wants you to quit.

I sure as hell don't want him to quit. (Dont think quiting was the way to go about this whole thing.) I'm publicly saying I'm sorry and I will stop being so vocal. I just like to voice my opinion (sometimes more then I should) on the discussion thread. I didn't mean any harm. But again, who am I to judge? I'm just a busta GM tryna make a dollar. Jake, don't take ish I say personal. Sorry to all.

So...I received an IM saying I could be Boston. Is that not the case?

Exactly. I'll admit, I'm not Jake's biggest fan and I don't always agree with the way he runs his teams, but that is no reason to leave. I do questionable **** too. Hell, last game I traded away the Spurs for Lopez, Parsons, Matthews, and Tristan Thompson... We all make moves that get hate (There was about 3 pages of discussion board about that trade), but we have to move on. We're all buds on here, so no one wants you to leave. If you do leave though, hope you come back soon (BTW you can probably play next game because you gave Karma fair notice).

Back to the game,

I am looking for a cheap scorer. I have defense, but need someone to come in and hit shots. Preferably I am looking for either, a cheap long term player or a 1 year deal large contract guy (KMart)

Everyone's on the market, but if you're just offering up a scorer I'm limiting it to...

Kendall Marshall
Jared Dudley
Quincy Pondexter
Tyler Zeller
Mareese Speights
CJ Miles
Wayne Ellington
Lots of picks to choose from

Come at me- cavs2013realgm@gmail.com

PG: Lin, Bayless
SG: T. Allen, Waiters, Wroten
SF: W. Chandler, Gee, Daye
PF: Randolph, Robinson, Leuer
C: Varejao, Thompson, Pittman

Looking to move some valuable young pieces for a star or near-star at the two or three position. Would be willing to part with all four of the bolded players in the right deal, but would want at least one or two mediocre depth pieces coming back. I'm open to any offer, but am really looking to trade my youth for veteran help and go all in, not the other way around.

Yeah I'm confused. We have two?

Also, is Jake staying or going? If the latter, then one of these guys can be Miami?

Breaking News: We have a blockbuster. Rose on the move. More details later...

WillyJakkz · Post #179 » by **WillyJakkz** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:47 pm

I'm getting reports that the Clippers are in the midst of making a blockbuster move involving PG Chris Paul, I'm hearing Chicago, Golden State, and the Los Angeles Lakers as possible destinations.
