FFDL [draft starts this Saturday!]

[writersblock]

Looking to make a trade to clear up a roster spot or too and/or get a little younger. John Salmons, Manu Ginobili, Carlos Boozer, Kirk Hinrich, Rasheed Wallace, Allen Iverson and Antonio McDyess are all on the block. Danny Granger could be had if someone wants to blow me away. Basically the only guy I don't really want to trade is Amare because his value is going to shoot back up this year. 2010 first rounders would also be welcome in trades.

I'm interested in Salmons, Mano, and Hinrich. I have the current pick and the 16th...email me at squirrelzipper@yahoo.com

What are you doing trying to trade to trade for one of the most injury-prone players in the league? I'll give you Boozer maybe, but like... Amare got poked in the eye, that's just sort of a freak thing.

Nice try...but you'll notice that I said I was offering the 16th pick.

Manu, Boozer, Bogut (who you selectively forgot to mention) are well-known injury freaks. Amare missed almost 30 games last year...and that's not the 1st or even 2nd time that's happened. He's not exactly the picture perfect portrait of the health juggernaut in Fantasy.

Nice to see some rivalry.

I'm also looking to do a 2 for 1, or a trade to get bigger (i.e trading PGs away)

You were trying to offer me the 16th pick for one of those guys? It didn't even cross my mind that you were offering that for players of that caliber because it's such a stupid offer to make, especially publicly. I thought you were offering that as a supplement along with, I don't know, a young top 100 player.

Listen, you can bash my guys all you want, but I'd just like to point out that you're catching my team at probably it's all time low point just based on players getting older and random injuries last season that have hurt guys' perceived value and yet I'll guarantee any manager in the league would take my starting lineup over yours and any manager would take my bench over yours. All I'm saying is that beating my injury-riddled team for 7th place last year will probably be the closest thing to a shining moment that your team will ever have, so enjoy this moment right now because it's the best you're going to get. Just saying, the last time you had a good team was 2005.

[insfo]

Apologies for the delay. Please continue skipping me until I can decide on a pick since I want to keep my options ...

[bww78]

Too bad those guys all suck.

Too bad it was those guys that led me to beat you last season.

WB you only beat me because I was missing half my roster. It was something like Amare, Boozer, Ginobili, Bogut and Iverson all out, as well as losing Mobley. By the way, I know you expressed some interest in my available guys, but I will never trade with you because I hate you and I don't trade with people I hate. What is a man without his principles, eh? As for this coming season go **** yourself and I hope your team is truly as bad as it looks on paper.

You're a jerk. Why don't you get over yourself and stop acting like such a twat? Frankly, I think after something like this, we should kick you out of this league.

[Stanford]

Nah. We need a league diva.

And what's the closest you got to the championship? Semifinals? At least in 2005 I was in the Championship round...

And what's more, I'll take my young team with up and comers who have solid fantasy value over your decaying team with IL perennials. Come to think of it, how long have you been trying to get rid of guys like Boozer, Manu, and Bogut? 2 seasons? 3?

[bww78]

So, Kohanz will be late in 6 hours too, is that right? Can I go then?

[Stanford]

Did I mention that I hate Skai!?

Skai, you suck! Your team is rubbish and I heard from a semi-anonymous source that your stench radiates for miles! In fact, I think I can smell you from here! Your online persona irks me sooo much Skai that I refuse to email you ever again! Never again will you come home from a long day of work to a giant face morphing smile after you find my name gracing your inbox! In fact, I find what little I know of you from the times we've talked over the internet to be soooo objectionable that I can no longer stand to type your internet username into my keyboard using metacarpals one through five on either hand! From here on out I will only refer to you as a typed period, and that'll be reeeally confusing for you skai because everytime I end a sentence or abbreviate a word I can't spell, you'll have no clue whether I'm talking about you or not! And here's the final blow Skai, and I know this will hurt, esp. since I know how much you care about about my opinion - all my thoughts about you from here on out will be strictly malevolent! And that includes your stinky fantasy team too!

Bring it Skai! Bring it.

[bww78]

Ok, I think Kohanz is late now too.

So I take Julian Wright.

I like the trash talk, and I think the FFDL really needs it.

I just hope my team can compete for once..

[Young_Star11]

Another thing:

sly and bww78 have to drop a player shortly

I might just forfeit the picks of managers who don't respond within 24 hours from now on (3-4 picks left) as if they can't decide within 24 hours, it's not likely they actually want to pick. I thank ham for coming forward to say he would forfeit his pick, it's not official until he is on the clock, but the fact he said this earlier saves us 24 hours.

[AlciG]

I forfeit my pick

[writersblock]

I'm working on a 2 for 1 (still), so I may keep this pick. Not that it matters, though, right? I'm the last pick.

[bww78]

Drop Kleiza

[theman]

Drop Kleiza

Too late. Marcus Camby was already dropped for you.

[east]

I love the chatter. Should be an intense season! If anyone wants to talk trade hit me up at chancellar|@|geemail.com, AIM:channingsfries or chr1sny||@||hotmail.com

I'm gtalk and AIM like 24-7.

[sly]

thanks theman for the headsup...

I'll drop VladRad

Trash talk is fun and all, but only when it is directed at a team, not at the manager himself. Carl's comments were personal, and that is classless.

Carl actually is classless, I've come to accept it. I mean, early on, the guy cussed me out for a bad trade offer...in fact, he dropped the fbomb more than once...for a trade offer. I mean, I've got kids who can read...Carl's got some issues.

But I do agree that his "trash talk" is over the top. In fact, it's NOT trash talk at all...personal attacks should not be tolerated on this board. We've been playing together long enough that this should go without saying, but his attacks are unnecessary and out of line. Jordan, I hope you can see the difference between trash talk and personal attack.
