I think that Lebrons D and rebounding should both be higher.

I don't . He's 18. He wasn't a renown defender coming into the league.
In other news, you can now bid on two fake fakes in this year's free agency. -

can't wait to see the tankers get rewarded with young superstars.

10-22-2012, 04:44 PMIamQuailmanNo because you are making moves and improvements to your team. You took back 2 decent players in that trade.Quote:

10-22-2012, 04:45 PMIamQuailmanYeah, trading away their best pieces to contenders. Honestly, it's flat out annoying.Quote:

It'll come back and bite them in the arse sooner or later, trust me.
Basically it comes down to this, what are you getting back in the deal? You have guys who are moving their best players and getting assets back, then you have guys who are moving their best players and getting nothing in return. That's the difference. -
10-22-2012, 04:46 PMBallSoHardThe worst part, is the two biggest offenders, insult everyone's intelligence by saying they're not doing it.Quote:

10-22-2012, 04:51 PMohnosonoYup. I know for a fact that one of them is tanking. He told me his plans through PM a while backQuote:

Might as well get the assets I can and try to improve through the draft. Sure, I want Wade or LeBron. Who wouldn't? But I tried my best not to do it in any sort of underhanded way.Quote:

You also kept Tyson Chandler, Stromile Swift, and Mike Miller. if you were fire selling them for pennies on the dollar then you'd probably be accused.

10-22-2012, 04:59 PMohnosono
So in the future, if I plan on tanking, I should be open about it? :confused:
-
10-22-2012, 05:01 PMAD23forMVP
You shouldn't do it at all, have some respect for the game and your fellow GM's.
-
10-22-2012, 05:07 PMohnosono
Hypothetical question but I do agree with you.
-
10-22-2012, 05:09 PMAD23forMVP
Oh I know lol, I didn't literally mean "you."

Just to freaking prove I'm not tanking, I'll put both of my picks up for trade when he time comes. It's gonna take a **** of a good offer, but I'll trade one. You guys can hold me to it. Maybe I'm just a crappy GM, but I really did think I was getting a good deal. Also, why in the world would I not want to get more picks and young players for Jamison? I offered Jamison for AK47 and a first, but was shot down.
