RNATB gives up Ray Rice and Braylon Edwards
Overly Sentimental gives up Mike Sims-Walker and Willie Parker
This seems pretty strongly stacked in Overly Sentimental’s favor and I’m not quite sure what the motivation is for RNATB. Would you mind explaining it?
Alright, but make a post in the league forum or send Overly Sentimental an e-mail to explain, since I don’t know if he checks this thread or not and I want him to know why I’m rejecting it.
So… the accidental trade went through. I didn’t approve it. Apparently if you remain idle on the issue it’ll automatically go through after a waiting period.
Yeah, you’ve got good starters. I have depth - I have 7 starting quality WRs (some borderline) - Welker, Roddy White, Driver, Mason, Breaston, Massaquoi, and Maclin and only 3 spots to start them in.
Okay, so Overly Sentimental has agreed to reverse the unintentional/unfair trade mentioned. RNATB, could you just propose a trade reversing what already happened and then I can approve it? That’d be less of a hassle than having me drop the players (so they didn’t exceed the team capacity) then reassigning them to the teams since yahoo’s commissioner roster management sucks.
I’m literally getting two or three trade requests a week in the SDMB leagues since I have strong teams in all three I’m in (auction, HHM, dynasty) so I’m pretty much flicking through them all at once on Wednesday night after I check the waiver results.
I probably clicked “accept” and then just saw “confirm” or whatever and didn’t read the “are you sure?” stuff. :smack:
I thanked him privately but I wanted to thank Chuck here in public cyberspace too, since he was under no obligation to reverse the trade (and I told him no hard feelings either way).
Wow. Within a couple hours of putting Moss, Colston, and Andre Johnson on the trading block, I had four offers, at least one for each.
As terrified as I am of watching a Brady/Moss resurgence from the outside, I couldn’t pass up the chance to get Michael Turner, who by himself should be about as valuable as both of my RB slots to this point. Yes, I’m the guy who puts some credence in his overuse issues, but he’s still scored 6 TDs in 5 games, and Atlanta’s good enough to get him more than his fair share of goalline carries the rest of the way. Plus, there’s a legitimate chance that he’s just off to a slow start and will begin ripping off 150-yard rushing games again in the second half of the season.
Note: I had a chance to do this trade for Marques Colston instead of Randy Moss – was it stupid to offer Moss instead? The motivation was the schedule. Moss doesn’t have a particularly tough slate of pass defenses, but it’s not an easy slate, either, and in Weeks 14-16 he’s at home twice and at Buffalo once – scary weather. Colston, on the other hand, has a very cupcake schedule in general from here, and only has one potentially bad weather game (@ Washington, Week 13). Also, Colston has already had his bye week, unlike Moss.
I probably would’ve kept Moss because the ball gets spread around too much in the NO offense whereas Moss is consistently amongst the highest targetted receivers in the league. The schedule somewhat mitigates that, but I’d still take my chances with Moss.
So, assuming I forget, someone be sure to remind me at season’s end to go back and check on the relative production Randy Moss, Marques Colston, and Michael Turner from Week 7 on. Actually, looking back at trades in general is something fun that almost never gets done.
