He doesn't even counter or respond with a message. Just rejects. I'd almost trade Forte for Newton at this point though. Rice has gone through his bye week so I'm not really exposed. Plus I have McGahee on the bench.
go after newton then. he's a monster
Just going to blow off a little steam here...
I'm in a 10-team league where you can start QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, DEF. Somehow I ended up with Rice, McCoy, Forte. Heck Forte was still on the board when my 3rd pick came up and I couldn't let him sit there. My team is relatively stacked across the board, especially now that Miles Austin is back.
But here's the problem. I gambled, and lost, on Josh Freeman. In retrospect taking a Rivers or someone with my 3rd pick wouldn't have put me in any better shape but it's still frustrating. There's a guy in the league who has crap for backs, Tom Brady at QB, and Big Ben/Cam Newton sitting on the bench. He won't even consider a trade for any of them. I ran the numbers and based on projections we would both net out at about +50 points for the season if he traded me Brady for McCoy. Ah well such is FF. Any of you run into this kind of issue with people who just refuse to trade?
Oh well, I'll hope that either Freeman gets out of his funk or see if I can get something out of Hasselback going forward. I'm still in a good position to be honest just because I'm stacked at every other position, just frustrated that people are out there playing FF who don't believe in trades yet stockpile players on their bench.
I do it tactically cuz I don't want to face the resultant combination down the road later. Otherwise if it's no threat to me, I don't veto.
You have to look at the bigger picture. You'd turn down a trade that helps both teams in the long run just because you'd have to face your former players once or twice down the road?
yeah, I take it on a case by case basis. either that or ATOT turned me into troll :biggrin:
Haha, do you decline trades with the comment "u mad, bro?"
You could get a better WR in that transaction. What other WRs does the guy have?
As the trade stands... Hell no.
At first I was like :| b/c Johnson is a risk. Injuries like his can linger all season. Then I was like b/c it's a PPR league, and you have to take a chance because you're 2-3.
It's basically Foster for McCoy + Johnson. They're both absolute beasts in PPR leagues. Well done, sir. shocksyde seal of approval.
At first he wanted Jennings. As much as I like Andre I couldn't see parting with Jennings with so much risk involved. I countered with Marshall and then he countered with Maclin. I had 3 solid WRs to begin with so even without Andre I'd still have 2 and my bench gets a little stronger
He went from Jennings to Maclin?
You should be a used car salesman, haha. Nice.
