Which Iowa law is GiK busy breaking today instead of slaving away on FF....

 

....and it didn't even cost me any waiver wire money. WINNING!!

 

Pretty much most of my roster is up for trade, exceptions being rookies I drafted and draft picks.

Specifically looking for:
Qb upgrade
I'd like at least one younger established Wr


Some of you, I propped big deals for, some of you I propped smaller deals for players I liked. At least counter. I'm sure I have something on my roster you can use. On certain players their values will only go up so take a chance now or pay more later. PM or just prop stuff....

- Philbins Phuck Ups.

 

YEAH, at least counter.... buttheads.

 

Boik offered me a handy for 20 minutes of cuddling and Mark Sanchez

 

I made the initial offer how can it be a counter dumb dumb

 

Literacy isn't your strong point. I offered you a handy from mark Sanchez for 20 minutes in exchange for you 1st next year.

 

He was anticipating your counter, which wasn't gonna be very good, so.....

 

Oh yeah?.... **** you

 

speaking of....... hey Will, I can create a team slogan too.

 

You talking about someone else's counters again used car salesman?

 

Your team slogan is "Loves the dirty Sanchez as much as the dutch oven". Amiright?

 

Thats how it works... havent you seen Draft Day...

 

You offered me two different guys then I originally asked you for (unless I have my offers mixed up which is possible since I had like 5-6 pending). Otherwise my bad.

 

shaddup Mr "le'me trade you these freezer-burned hamburger patties".

 

no.

 

I'm sorry if this offends anyone but..... whhhhhut? Lacy and a 1st rounder for Foster and a 2nd? Can someone please explain this to me b/c I can't find any way to rationalize it?... unless Bigs is trying to position himself for the #1 pick in the 2016 draft. LOL.

Foster's health status alone should void this WADR to both parties involved, let alone the fact he's unequivocally regarded as inferior to Lacy in all formats and especially in dynasty where Lacy has twice the value. Can't trade a young elite back for one with an undesignated health status who hasn't played a snap since week 8 of last year. Adding a 1st rounder on top of it is just plain ugly and kinda stomach turning TBH.

 

It was a 3rd I gave up for a 2nd Trowa Jr. Secondly, foster is one year removed from 1400 rush yards/15td 40catches/2td and being a top three back. While lacy is younger I also gave up a wr in Jones who should hit a 1000/8td. Also foster is going to be a league leader in carries without Tate behind him. He's had preseason injuries the last three years. Two of them turned out fine. Hater.

 

The league's page said a 1st for a 4th. Regardless, you shouldn't be benefitting in the draft pick department here.

a) Foster is currently injured. You, yourself, have voided trades in your league for this very reason. If the regular season began today, Foster most likely wouldn't be dressed, and it's not like players never miss time or have surgery b/c of hamstring injuries, so I don't think it's fair to operate on the assumption he'll be hunky dory in a few weeks and healthy all season until he actually IS healthy. I understand what he did in 2012 and before, but he's not rushing for anything unless he's cleared for action, which he hasn't been since the middle of last season. If Foster is one year removed from being a top 3 back and you allegedly expect him to be a league leader in carries without Tate behind him, then why don't you keep him?

b) You're not losing any sleep over James Jones.
He's yet to crack 815 yards in his career.... or the the 1st team offense in Oakland. 1000/8 is wishful thinking. As a 4th string WR on BigE's roster and offering no upside or future value, Jones doesn't enter the equation when trading away one of the most valuable players in a dynasty league. You're just trying to make the cookie seem bigger by breaking it into pieces. LOL. You could argue that separately trading Jones and a 3rd for a 2nd is fair, which it is and I'd do in a heartbeat if I were you, however Lacy for Foster is incredibly silly for any dynasty league, even a league of circus clowns. And you smell.

c) shaddup. How dare you call me Trowa Jr.

 

A) you have your trades confused. In the first trade I made I got a 1 back. Not in the foster deal.

B)Lol, all that coming from someone who dealt Brian Hartline and his 1100 yards for what, a future second? That's worse. Sorry but Foster is still ahead of Lacy on my board for this year. Foster is what I hope Lacy can be, a future elite back. Lacy played one year and had a concussion and a few other bumps. Foster is a one year removed from being a top 2 option with almost 1700 total yards and 17 TD. Just because Lacy is younger, doesn't automatically give him more value. You need to be more tolerant of peoples perceived player values. Not everyone is going to have the same rankings as you. If you would leave the league over something so small after you made a trade where you gave up Hartline for nothing back then that's petty. If I didn't know better if think you have up Hartline to tank the year. See how that works? But I didn't make a big deal of it because you're rebuilding and valued the pick more then the current production.

And again, I didn't get a 1 back, I got a 2 back in this deal and gave up my 3 to get it which will probably be a difference of 6-8 slots.

I think your opinion on the deal is so far off base and your value of Arian Foster is laughable. He doesn't even have Tate there to poach carries anymore so he could be in store for an even better year given Houston's

C) that Foster is hurt now means nothing since the regular season games are not in doubt. Lacy missed time with concussions last year, based on what your arguing he should be devalued accordingly. Luckily you don't get to decide player values for the entire league.

D) the reason I don't keep him is the same reason you didn't keep Hartline, I'm rebuilding. At least I got value for a good player where as you just gave a good player away and tanked the year.

 

Show me where Foster is ranked between 15-20 and ill show you a ranking you can use for toilet paper. Thats pure garbage imo. The idea that someone can have Foster ranked that low means they shouldnt even be allowed to do rankings imo.

The idea that a guy who is consistently over 1000 yards and a viable WR3/flex isnt a top 50 option is extremely bothersome to me. But like I said, to each their own. I dont think the trade is unfair. I think hes getting the better back now, and Im getting the long term guy.

It's a terrible trade. However, I knew Big E was on the bad end of it before even seeing who was involved.....he's notorious for horrible trades for himself in fantasy and Madden when we played

 

No issue with the trade. I wouldn't do it but I don't think it should be veto'ed

 

We have 4 rounds? Did I miss something? haha

 

On yahoo you have to trade a pick for a pick.

 

So what you're advocating is the complete devaluation of any productive players who have been in the league a few years? Foster when he's healthy is on the level of a Charles McCoy or Peterson IMO. What if it were those players involved? And keep in mind he's coming off an injury filled year. A little health and a good year and the price rises...

I run in to this all the time in the dynasty baseball leagues I run. The issue with it is, I could have just cut guys like v jax or jones. By the time my team is ready to contend in a year or two they will be value less and old. They're too good to outright cut so I have to get something for them. I offered Jackson and jones for weeks. It wasn't until I attached foster to jones I got any interest. It wasn't until I came off running backs for v jax and tried for a TE I got any interest. As a rebuilding team I had I use the assets I had intelligently. If that's too much to handle then maybe I'm not against the competition I thought I was.

 

While I wouldnt trade for Foster who is one season removed from contemplating retirement... the draft comp is what made it a head scratcher to me, but its up to E, if he felt good with it, then more power to him.

 

LOL there goes Boik again straight up robbing people. Did you convince him Jones is a top 10 WR?

 

No but just because you don't think he holds value it doesn't mean he doesn't and the idea that you or someone else should determine that is not how you run a league.

 

There isn't any value its someone trading a round 2/3 RB and round 12+ WR and a 3rd round for a top 7 pick and a 2.

Its completely 1 sided.

 

Just because you believe that foster isn't a 1st round rb with the upside to be elite/top5 doesn't make it so especially when the numbers and history say otherwise. Foster isn't 32 or ancient. Stop acting like he is
