Teams finally seem to be agressive when it comes to trades 

Post#1 » by DDV » Wed Feb 6, 2008 7:15 am

the past 5-10 years moves at the deadline started getitng les and less because teams seemed to care more about not wanting to pay the luxury tax then making that trade that could put em over ther top possibly..

for the first time since i can remember contenders seem to be making moves and moves in repsonse to other contenders making moves

its good too see

I think its great for the league to have competitive things like this go on. As owners and GM's, your trying to build a winner. If a team in your conference just pull a trade to make themselves better, you have to do something similar if you feel like your team isn't as talented as they are. Besides the only losers are the teams with a bad front office.

Simmons, not Hollinger.
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimism™, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

I'm on a horse.

I agree its exciting to watch (as long as my team isn't getting screwed over big time like some teams are, luckily our gm is joe dumars so he doesnt do big lopsided deals)

I love it!

The worst GM`s are the ones that don`t do anything! Like Paxon in CHI. That guy simply overslept the last two years!

Aggressive or desperate???? I'm not sure how you describe some of these trades.
