    We havnt done tons of leagues all of us together but the leagues we have its me and sparky always doing the trading. Its not a coincidence we just always try making our teams better. Then again on the other hand one of us seems to always be on top and the other one is always on his knees . Haha you know im only kidding. You cant hate on the effort. Heres what bugs the shit out of me in our fantasy. People want to bitch when the league is inactive and people dont trade and let trades sit there and then people want to bitch when people make tons of trades and are active as all hell. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! Some just try harder. Even you said your not going to do the baseball league if the trades are like they were last year. So which is it? You are making too many trades or you let trades sit there and are inactive?

    Yea...you've been doing fantasy for 10 years? Other than football...these are all my first time doing it. And football was IDP so it was brand new to me. I've done baseball but only with pitching staffs instead of the individual pitchers. And this is my first bball ever and I killed myself early with Howard. But I've turned it around and now my team is shaping up.

    Philly trades a lot too. But it's usually with me.

    I don't complain about activity....i like that people pay attention in our leagues.

    I dont' think any of the trades have been unfair, some of the baseball ones were though, thats my only thing there.


    I'm only busting sparky's balls because he said he was going to tone back on trades lol

    Only 2 trades I believe in football. Both helped me greatly. Fitz for Charles. Wayne for Dez and 2 IDPs. However...I just missed out on the playoffs.

    I may have another trade in the works right now. I don't feel totally happy with my team. I got 1 more trade in mind. I guess we'll see.

    Its impossible to make everyone happy in the leagues but there is no way to get around trades. If a trade is made and both guys thinks it makes their team better then i have no choice but to accept and theres nothing i can do.

    Here is the MAJOR thing in baseball this year. We are going to make it a keeper league. If a guy is in last place the day of the trade deadline and wants to deal one of his better players for a young up and comer and a draft pick the following year its going to be one sided by the looks of it on paper. Say 2 guys are battling for the 1st place regular season prize and the guy in 1st trades a couple picks and a young guy for a top player to put his team over the top from the last place team the guy in 2nd is going to be pissed. It is what it is.

    I love trades.

    If I lose the league...at least I had fun. I'm not like knarf who expects Love to become a PG all of a sudden to help his assists.

    Kevin Garnett limped into the Celtics locker room on Wednesday after injuring his right knee -- he is having X-rays and the team has requested a wheelchair.
    This looks like a massive blow for the Celtics, though right now it's listed as a "lower right leg" injury. Garnett also appears to have hurt himself while jumping, as opposed to landing, which doesn't bode well.
     
     
    The Sparky Trade curse strikes again. I didn't trade for Garnett...but I took away 2 big rebounders from the owner of Garnett.
     
     
    The last time I saw a guy get hurt "jumping, as opposed to landing" was Blake Griffin.

    Like I said in the other thread. Cliff Lee and Yadier Molina for Jesus Montero and Phil Hughes looks like crap this season...but next season is a different story.

    And you'll have those type of trades because, whether it's keeper or not, you're in it to win it. If you have a chance to win NOW...what good is the "future"?

    When does a keeper league end though? Does it go on forever or do you do it for 3-4 years than reset? What if you have Jeter and he retires after 4 seasons? Is it up to the owner to shape up his team accordingly?

    No one will be keeping Jeter unless they are a complete idiot. He will just never be drafted again when he hangs it up.

    I'll think about it. I really like Aldridge. And with Bynum on the horizon...I would rather have just Gasol on my team instead of both. I know it's not a good way to go about things, but it's the way I do.
