I accept:(
I had a chance to build a winning team around Shaq but I failed by trading for players like Stockton and Rodgers.
PS this has been trade checked.
So much real life in this thread... Shaq a Laker and Marbury a T-Wolf.
I really wanted Starbury to win a title in LA too, he used to bet favorite player :(
Good trade for both teams. But man why do people keep helping the good teams get better? Lakers just solidified their mark as a title contender the next few years!
It helps the Lakers this year and next, but I think this is great for the Wolves as it gives them a pretty much guaranteed top 5 pick to match with Marbury, Gasol, and Battier. Not to mention Dale Davis is a solid 10/10 Center. So with the trade, wolves could stay in playoff hunt this year, but be even better next 2 years
Ack! That's why this took 2 years LOL
We will see how good I can become with Shaq. I do have 2 first team all leaguers now, but my team was predicated on not turning the ball over, rebounding, distrubting and playing good D. Shaq is a turnover machine and doesn't make free throws (which my team is already terrble at with the additon of Outlaw). It'll be interesting to see if I can get the right lineup by the playoffs.
I think it was good to the Wolves, agree or disagree, because Marbury is pretty great and is having one of the better seasons as a PG at 24. He had the second highest assist rate in the league (behind Van Exel doing the advanced stats) and scored 4 more ppg while being 5 years younger, and scored The top 5 pick (most likely) with the low salary allows the Wolves to be financially fluid filling in the missing pieces.
Not bashing yall's trade at all. both teams got good pieces and have different short term goals. Shaq limited you financially but damn is he a beast. Put him on a team like the Lakers and everyone better watch out! Good trade for you too Nola. I just hate that teams are giving the Lakers these players to dominate. LOL. Oh Well. Not a topic for this thread but would like to see some kind of penalty for teams over the cap.
While I agree there should be some kind of penalty, I don't think it could be implemented until all players are off their original draft deals. Some teams drafted into debt basically and didn't even know. Maybe after the 5th season we can do something like that.
Those damn Lakers!! :mad::bah::mad:
But actually good trade for both guys top pick to go with Gasol plus Starbury, not bad
I really wanted to do our deal but it didn't feel like you were gonna go through with it. I know it's a part of negotiations but you kept changing certain things that we agreed upon for over a week now. The Davis/pick offer made me think you felt the original offer was too much so I just moved on. I wish you had been on sooner though because I definitely preferred that deal if I'm gonna be honest.
:hihi: Or the Freaking Brooklyn Nets. They are going to be so far over the cap. Yeah there are some teams in this league that are WAY over the cap but there is NO penalty for it so it doesn't effect them. I do agree that some teams got stuck with a lot of players in the draft that put them over, but there has to be some kind of way we can figure out to penalize it. Problem is teams over don't want a penalty yet, teams under do. LOL
These are the kind of posts that should probably be kept out of finalized trade threads. No need to discuss trades that coulda/shoulda/woulda been. Trell, sounds like you were wishy washy and flaked on the deal. It happens. Next time, if you agree on a deal, don't try to change whatever the original deal was to see if you can get less. Hold your ground and stick to what's agreed.
Anyway, this kind of stuff doesn't belong in the finalized trade threads.
Yup, and if I remember correctly, that might have been when the previous Raptors owner left the league lol... He accepted and then tried to delete his post and back out of the trade... but CP3 held him to it. He was getting Van Exel and Etan Thomas for Finley and something else... i forget
Just stirring the pot.
I'm pretty annoyed that the Cavs sent their first to the Magic for $6 when I clearly stated in the league chat thread I would give anyone $8. So now I'm on an anarchist mission to destroy the world. Or, just **** in everyone's punchbowl.
Yeah, once its accepted it's pretty much a done deal unless salaries don't work or some other rule comes into play.
Really, you can't say ****. Why is the word **** bleeped out. What is this world coming to when you can't say the word ****. At least I can ****. Oh hell, **** on it.
I'm just glad I'm trading with a high character owner in respects to this game (because everyone here may be a saint outside of the game, I certainly wouldn't know), and want to thank Nolahornet for holding true. I was very straight forward with my dealings with him, and didn't change a thing I offered throughout unless I moved a piece. I know personally through my dealings, nola waiting a long time looking for deals with various owners and I don't think I tried to "sell" it too much.
Actually no. I would have been much more pointed if it was directed. I've had about 8 trades fall through. I stated it like that because it wasn't supposed to be pointed at anyone and I was trying to compliment.
I didn't see Marbury at first and I was like " Are you kidding me "!!! Good trade for both teams!!!
I guess I'll just blow it up or something.
god I hope this pick turns into Yao Ming.
This trade is also illegal, Lakers don't have a 2002 first and drafted no one in 2001... I'm less sure about this one
Lol it doesn't go retro; keep up your hating.
I don't think 01 matters anymore but I'm not positive. Pretty sure it's legal.
not hating, I checked the other trades too. I guess I'm going to need some rule clarifications. You really ought to shut your mouth, you make a lot of people angry with the putting their quotes in your sig and trashing them on the boards.
!!!!!
Lol and it's come to that. :hihi:
I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure Trell, HornetsfaninKY and Coltsguy didn't aperciate it, I try to just check if all the trades follow the rules, and you immediately conclude I'm just hating. Why do you think you have so many rivals and enemies.
The rule says you must have at least one 1st round pick for the following two seasons. He has an 03 pick so I'm pretty sure this deal is legal. Once last years draft is complete I can't see how it comes into play.
Not sure why you're so worried about me my trades, my rivals or anything of that sort. Any issues anyone has with me, I'm sure they're adult enough to raise them to me if they're that serious. Despite both you and Trell posting "why he didn't take your trade" (yes I saw yours before you edited it) I said nothing disrespectful because I thought we were on that level. Not sure why you'd disrespect me despite me sticking up for you from time to time and being complimentary, but it's fine. I personally don't think anyone is an "enemy" here. I'm sure a bunch of people want to beat me though:)
That's fine, I guess I just didn't quite get the rule.
I thought you traded a 2nd rounder, not the first rounder, it was a good trade for both side once i saw it was a first rounder. Fair value for Shaq, good deal for both sides, that's why i edited it. You really do need to stop trashing the other GMs though. There was no reason to turn the Prep P PM public, and the Coltsguy PM public.
Like I said before, of they have an issue they can speak up. Not sure why you're even talking about it.
That's fine, I still think you're a great GM and quality guy, we've had friendly conversations in the past and everything, it just seems like you're looking for a fight from time to time to make the make the league more interesting.
