I offered him Love for Batum straight up and he said no. I'm kind of glad he did actually. I might have regretted it down the road.



sorry about the offer, I don't have any PF's that are anything special right now otherwise I would offered someone besides Allen. I sent you a modified offer since all I really want is Sullinger.

also I wanted Love but I also have another Cav atm. I don't like to have more than one player for any team because they sometimes end up sitting on the IR on Fridays because of too many games being played that one night and thir production basically becomes worthless.


Wait a minute! Timeout!

You've been offering everyone bad trades and lecturing us on how to play fantasy hoops, but then you go ahead and drop RICKY RUBIO to waivers? WTF is wrong with you man? I offered you Kevin Love for Batum and Rubio! But then you go ahead and drop him for GARY NEAL? Only to then drop him for JJ BAREA? LOL You're a clown dog!

And not only do you waive him, but the guy who has the strongest roster picks him up! This isn't a 12 team league where everyone has stronger rosters here. In a 16 team league this changes everything. This league is over. Sorry guys but I'm done.


LOL classic opening to your post. I pictured kevin hart while reading "wait a minute! Timeout!" But to say the league is over is ridiculous. Ill be giving homie silver an L next week. Just watch

And as BRUCE was saying, this league is far from over. Remember how I had to pick up four fliers just to beat you by 9 points? I have had a relatively easy schedule so far, as the only team .500 or above that I have faced so far was you and my current matchup. I'm currently laying a beatdown on the Rockets, but once Durant gets healthy, that team could be scary. Like in sports, anything can happen in fantasy basketball, and all it takes is one good week to dethrone the favorites.

You've been offering everyone bad trades and lecturing us on how to play fantasy hoops, but then you go ahead and drop RICKY RUBIO to waivers? WTF is wrong with you man? I offered you Kevin Love for Batum and Rubio! But then you go ahead and drop him for GARY NEAL? Only to then drop him for JJ BAREA? LOL You're a clown dog!

You said you offered him Kevin Love for Batum straight up and he rejected, so adding Rubio in the mix probably didn't make much of a difference. Rubio is out for at least a month, and I guess (?) since he's 1-3, he can't afford to stash Rubio if he wants to make the 6-team playoff. Also, ankle injuries usually linger, especially for guards who rely on agility and quickness. I'm not expecting Rubio to be the player he was before the injury, but if he can stay healthy and post top-100 stats upon his return, I'll be happy. It's not an insane move, given that the Rockets dropped Terrence Jones just a week ago, who was beasting before his injury.



I'm a little confused on how the waiver wires work. I put a claim on Rubio on the 24th but you seemed to get Rubio for Austin Rivers who you picked up on the 25th. I thought it was first come first serve so how did you pick up Rubio for Austin when I placed a claim a day before you?

That's not how waivers work. By your logic, all players dropped would basically be free agents. Look at the standings, and there's a section called "Waiver." Whoever has the lowest waiver number of those that submitted a claim gets to add the player. If a waiver goes through, your go to the end of the line and your waiver number is reset to 16. If that didn't really make sense, Google it, as waivers can be kind of confusing.

Rose might not be playing next week either. It's a damn shame, considering that Rose is one of the most exciting players to watch.

Also once again I didn't want Love until I could move Tristan Thompson which no body wanted because he is a "bench player" and I don't want two PF's from the same team on my roster because it causes some players not to be able to play during a night where a ton of teams are playing, hence their stats not being counted...

Also I didn't draft Rubio and I am not found of him besides his assists numbers and his play in real life, he shoots a horrible percentage and turns the ball over alot. I dropped Olapido for similar reasons, he is inconsitent as heck and turns the ball over just as bad as Rubio who isn't playing. Gary Neal was the best available on the waiver wire and he got injured so I had to go for Barea which is never anyone's first choice but he is playing decent for Dallas right now.

Turnovers caused me to lose a championship game one time so I am wary of players who aren't superstars who turn the ball over alot. I apologize for some insulting offers I just didn't draft the players on my team and I have had the worst injury bug of anyteam. Trying to be competitive can cause a GM to offer bad trades which I admit have done.

No guys. I've looked at Stat's roster. Its over. In a 16 team league for the strongest team to add an elite assists and steals guy like Rubio is crushing. I don't care how NiqtheAntiq wants to rationalize it. He clearly doesn't know what he's doing if he's dropping Rubio (wtf Oladipo too?!!) onto waivers. Trading low on him is still better than Neal/Barea. I don't want Love because blah blah blah is ridiculous when you're throwing a high value guy like onto waivers. Love isn't injury prone eithet, but whatever.

Unless the Comish puts Rubio back on NiqtheAntiq's team so me or someone else can trade for him, count me as inactive. Don't expect other people to remain active either when they realize how much of a mismatch this'll be when Rubio is back. You wanna say its unfair? Well its unfair to the rest of us that the strongest team just added Rubio essentially for free. A Rubio for Rivers trade would get vetoed every time.

I'm looking at the rosters right now. Batum and Rubio for Love is still on the table. I'd also do Rubio and Jordan Hill for Love. I'm ok with Ariza or Jabari or Wroten straight up too. You see NiqtheAntiq? If you had actually given me time to explore trade possibilities I would have traded you Ariza, who you've put in a few of your offers.

Yeah I share some of your sentiments especially seeing Stats roster but your acting like there won't be anymore big players that could be placed on the waiver wire not to mention injuries. Rubio won't be back until January most likely and some of his other players have become injured over the last couple of weeks.

He also has some players playing out of there minds at the moment who should eventually cool down like Tobias and Butler. I don't see them maintaining there play threw out the season.

I agree that it's a bit short-sighed for NiqtheAntiq to be so quick to drop his injured guys, but I got Rubio fair and square. If I put Rubio back on Niq's team, it would just set a precedent for any team wanting a do-over on their moves. Hopefully Niq will realize next time that some of his injured guys do have value, but for now, what's done is set in stone. If Rubio was completely healthy or out for a week, then I would revert the move because that would make no utter sense at all. But Rubio is out for at least a month, and I could see why Niq's team would want to do this if he wants to make the playoffs.

I was Waiver 9 when he was dropped, which means 1 of 8 teams could have picked him up instead, had they put in a claim. I'm sure if any of the 16 teams had gotten Rubio instead, you wouldn't have the same gripe. Just because I had a good draft, I should be punished for getting Rubio fairly? And as I said TJones was dropped last week. He had a great 2nd half last year, is getting more minutes this year, had a #17 ranking before he got injured, and doesn't have to deal with the lingering ankle issues a guard does. Yet there's no outcry when the Kings picked him up off waivers. If you just want to quit because this isn't a public league where you can half-assedly win the championship, go ahead.

I agree that it's a bit short-sighed for NiqtheAntiq to be so quick to drop his injured guys, but I got Rubio fair and square. If I put Rubio back on Niq's team, it would just set a precedent for any team wanting a do-over on their moves. Hopefully Niq will realize next time that some of his injured guys do have value, but for now, what's done is set in stone. If Rubio was completely healthy or out for a week, then I would revert the move because that would make no utter sense at all. But Rubio is out for at least a month, and I could see why Niq's team would want to do this if he wants to make the playoffs.

I was Waiver 9 when he was dropped, which means 1 of 8 teams could have picked him up instead, had they put in a claim. I'm sure if any of the 16 teams had gotten Rubio instead, you wouldn't have the same gripe. Just because I had a good draft, I should be punished for getting Rubio fairly? And as I said TJones was dropped last week. He had a great 2nd half last year, is getting more minutes this year, had a #17 ranking before he got injured, and doesn't have to deal with the lingering ankle issues a guard does. Yet there's no outcry when the Kings picked him up off waivers. If you just want to quit because this isn't a public league where you can half-assedly win the championship, go ahead.


And that's fine. You were the favorite before this anyway because you drafted well. Great job on your part. I'm not saying what you did was unfair, but the end result is a completely one-sided league. Just don't expect myself or other people to remain active when you're the one who is now going to half-assedly win this league. If I had realized Rubio was put on waivers prior I would have dropped out sooner, for what its worth. Have fun and god bless.

There has to be a way where these inactive teams be replaced.

This is getting out of control.

No guys. I've looked at Stat's roster. Its over. In a 16 team league for the strongest team to add an elite assists and steals guy like Rubio is crushing. I don't care how NiqtheAntiq wants to rationalize it. He clearly doesn't know what he's doing if he's dropping Rubio (wtf Oladipo too?!!) onto waivers. Trading low on him is still better than Neal/Barea. I don't want Love because blah blah blah is ridiculous when you're throwing a high value guy like onto waivers. Love isn't injury prone eithet, but whatever.

Unless the Comish puts Rubio back on NiqtheAntiq's team so me or someone else can trade for him, count me as inactive. Don't expect other people to remain active either when they realize how much of a mismatch this'll be when Rubio is back. You wanna say its unfair? Well its unfair to the rest of us that the strongest team just added Rubio essentially for free. A Rubio for Rivers trade would get vetoed every time.

not keeping up with this thread but i see yall dont understand why i dropped jones

ima rockets fan , i keep up with the team. i checked on him almost everyday. best case scenario for jones is he'll be back mid january. and even then, it'll take him time to get in nba shape. by mid jan the rockets will find their rotation which will be hard to crack. so not only does jones have to get in nba shape, he has to crack a tough rotation. last serason he was the default starting pf and dmo was the backup who was borderline average. now dmo is on the verge of being the default starting pf

i waited and hoped he'd come back soon but news of him got worse and worse and there's a godo chance he's out for the season. i dont have time for that with durant on my team and a few key players having slow starts to the season. he was supposed to be a big part of my team. so i dropped him for the likes of...bismack and dalembert :( ugh

i dunno wtf is going on with whoever dropped rubio. i tried to get him. elite assists and steals guy who'll only get better.

You dropping Jones is really in the same vein of what I am trying to do, COMPETE. Its not like I dropped a guy like Cousins or Ty Lawson who are always legit for the most part. Does anyone not know Rubio is capable of 3-16 shooting nights? Even though he gets steals and assists he pretty much alone can cause you to lose field goal percentage and turnovers. I didn't think it was an insane move to drop him.

Also I didn't know it would have caused such an issue with me dropping Rubio since nobody likes to trade in this league unless they for sure think they are winning the trade . I honestly didn't think anyone would give me someone like Ariza for him who in my opinion is a vastly more safe fantasy player on your team as he is a good all around player and isn't a liability in different areas like Rubio. As for ClipsGM you know deep down you wouldn't have done Batum and an injured Rubio for KLove and Ariza ....

Normally injured guys in fantasy bball are almost worthless unless they are like Carmelo. From past experience I just assumed I was wasting my breath. I have had so many injuries I was just wanting some players who actually could play for once.

No I wouldn't have done Batum and Rubio for Love and Ariza. But I would have done Rubio for Ariza straight up. You didn't even put it on this thread asking what people were willing to give you. You just dropped him! :lol:

I'm still willing to do it if you're ok with it and Stat allows it. He's the Commish so he can just put Ariza on your team and Rubio on mine. Or if you can find a better trade from someone else.

But that depends if Stat wants a competitive league or not. That's why I joined this league in the first place. For it to be fun and competitive. Once Rubio is healthy people will realize how uncompetitive this league is in Stat's favor.

Nope. Don't try to make me look like the bad guy because I built a good team and you're the only one that think it's too much to overcome. I'm not allowing "do-overs." That's not how it works in any section of life. It was a plausible move, and that's that.

And that's fine. If that's what you want I can't stop you. Just don't pretend like you're in favor of competition when its now completely one-sided and you could have done something about it. I'm sure Niq would rather have Ariza than JJ Barea right now. I'm sure the other GMs would rather this league be competitive intead of you being unbeatable. This Rubio thing benefits you, and you alone. Don't pretend otherwise. Its just a game at the end of the day. No hard feelings.

Yeah, because I was lucky enough to pick him up. Every team adds, drops, and trades players to benefit their team and their team only. When the league was started, everyone was on equal footing, which made it competitive. Depending on the moves they made, some teams got better and some teams ended up making poor decisions. Is it unfair that the Cavs formed the big three while the Nets are stuck in mediocrity for a while? No, because everyone played by the same rules and the same salary cap. That's how sports and fantasy sports work. I'm not here to make every team equally talented because some people ended regretting some of the moves they made. Don't talk about what Niq knows after the fact, because I'm sure everyone would have liked to invest in Apple stock in the early 2000s given what they know now.
