The problem I have is that I made some moves and I am waiting for them to push through. I hate delaying trades, but if I get some of my moves through I could have traded my best receiver for something I didn't need. I'll have to mull over it

I want to get rid of a TE. Any of them. I'll take anything that's not a kicker or another TE. I might even consider a DEF if it's good enough.

I'll also trade away one of my QB's. Ideally I'd like a WR/RB.

Yeah, as of now, I'm looking for another solid RB, and a #3 receiver.

Alright, I came to the conclusion that I can't trade a proven number 1 (on my team at least) receiver for one unproven back and a number 3 receiver.

Alright, I send trade with a #1 receiver and #2 RB (on their teams).

Until 3Am I can;t make any trades. The good news is that I'm dropping McAlister so if anyone want to jump on his sorry knees they can have at it.

Well, I just traded Marshawn Lynch and Jerrico Cotchery for Tomlinson...I hope it pays off, because I was really high on both Lynch and Cotchery this season. Lynch being a prime back that can do it all, and Cotchery being Favre's go-to-guy.

Same. So far, I have 5 pretty big free agent moves with adding and dropping. A lot of good players still out there.

Whoever made that trade's pretty dumb dumb. Seriously, even if Lynch and Cotchery manage to score more combined than Tomlinson, the fact that you got Tomlinson plus freed up a spot on your roster makes that trade very lopsided, especially since it's not a PPR league (at least it wasn't last time I checked). Good job bro.

My projections for Lynch, LT, and Cotchery are

LT: 2000 total 20 total TDs
Cotchery: 1300 receiving yards, 8 receiving TDs
Lynch: 1400 total yards, 10 total TDs

I think I get more points out of that. Besides, I really only wanted Cotchery for trade value. My receivers are set with Wayne, Crayton, Evans, and Johnson

Okay. I'll put aside the fact that I completely disagree with your projections for now. Your projections are still skewed. You can't just compare LT's stats to Cotchery's and Lynch's.

Dude-LAP got a free roster spot because of the trade. You have to count the stats that he picks up as well. Based on your over-estimated projections, he would only need 700 rushing or receiving yards in order to make up the difference. TD's would be a bonus.

That's not even counting the player you had to drop in order to make the trade.

And your "trade value" argument makes no sense at all. NOBODY HAS MORE TRADE VALUE THAN LT. Nobody has more trade value than the most valuable fantasy player in all of football, especially now that Brady's gone. Nobody has more trade value than the guy who got picked 1st overall in the entire draft. You just said you're stacked at WR which makes the trade even more ridiculous considering the fact that you can start at most 3. So even if Cotchery does get those 1300 yards you claim he will, you're not going to get every point out of it. You've already lost 80 yards and a TD.

It's a horrible trade and the fact that you traded to the commish garauntees that there's no way in hell it's going to get vetoed. You've essentially forfeited the first pick overall for a 1st and a 6th. That doesn't fly in the real NFL and it doesn't fly in Fantasy Football.

I don't know what it is you're doing, but people are making some friggin' dumb trades with you Dude-LAP.

Quote:
PK trades Willie Parker, Pit RB to Street Ballerz
PK trades Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR to Street Ballerz
PK trades Steve Smith*, Car WR to Street Ballerz
PK trades Chris Johnson, Ten RB to Street Ballerz
NY trades Ricky Williams, Mia RB to Kats
NY trades Hines Ward, Pit WR to Kats
NY trades Derrick Mason, Bal WR to Kats
NY trades Ray Rice, Bal RB to Kats


What the hell?! Whoever Kats is, he doesn't even gain in any aspect of the trade! Seriously, what the ******** are these people thinking?

Willie Parker for Ricky Williams? Larry Fitzgerald for Hines Ward? Steve Smith for Derrick Mason? Chris Johnson for Ray Rice?! Every single one of the players he traded is better than every person he gets back.

WTF?! This league is some dumb s**t. People are making the most idiotic trades for who the ******** knows why.

I don't think my projections are skewed. For his career 2000 total and 20 touchdowns are about LT's averages per season, Cotch put up 1100 yards and 2 touchdowns with Pennington/Clemens throwing him the ball, and Lynch put up 1300 total yards and 7 touchdowns as a rookie

BTW I'm sorry I had to veto that trade, dude-lap. I can't let go through
