Trade:

cjock1051 gets my 1st and 4th round picks. I get his 2nd and 3rd.

...
???
!!!


Guys, you're getting ripped off trading away these 1sts. 1st & 5th for 2nd & 3rd is bad enough, but 1st & 4th?!?! Seriously?!

It's only happened a couple of times before in this league, but man, I have to object to these trades. There's nothing balanced about either, especially this second one. CJ just gave it to uptown & didn't even buy him dinner first.

omega's got more experience than I do. It's impossible for me to take advantage of someone who knows more than I do.

Look, a deal's a deal. It's a consensual thing. Omega gave me a worse deal with the first offer, but I wanted to leverage a better one if I could, so I sent a counter offer. He didn't have to take it, but he did. It's not fair market, but it is what it is. If omega feels like he got screwed, he won't do this next time.

It's like Golden State with Durant. It doesn't prove that the system's broken. It just proves that Golden State took advantage of the fact that Steph Curry is finishing up a smaller deal than what Timofey Mozgov just signed. When you have an opportunity, you take it. Nothing foul when two parties consent.

I accepted the offer he sent me.

I'm commishing because I stepped up, and no one else did, for weeks after 60 ended. I'm not apologizing for that.

I'll be fine in the end. 5 picks in by pick 85 sounds good enough for me. I looked at it from the perspective of how quickly I could build a starting five. On the flip side, uptown won't reach his fifth pick until pick 119.

From pg1

Proposal: you can change the pick until the next pick is posted, and if there's conflict, the changed pick has to change back to whatever it was before the next pick was posted.

Yeah, that's an idea I have. It was never approved or voted on or anything. Just an idea for the future......or not.

We're not doing that in this draft.....unless people like the idea.

"Hey, guys? Guys? Don't throw me into that briar patch. I cannot be thrown into a briar patch!"

The good thing about these trades is nobody is ever good enough to make them work

I think you know where I stand on this subject. And how every other draft in the history of WIS has been run.
