OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[The TeeJ of Philly]

God Damn it TJ!

How did I get blamed?!?!

[GM Franchise]

YAY! BD is back. 

[Mike Powers]

Alright, whoever the fuck turn it is, draft already!

[Captain Metro]

Alright, whoever the fuck turn it is, draft already!

Sorry - some of us have to work out west ... that's why I gave Pancho proxy to accept those two trades and he only did half the job.

[GM Franchise]

I think this season we've entered The Trading Zone...

[Hondo]

So we have a she-said, she-said situation....

[Domingo]

But why move up in the draft,  only to trade back down and gain another pick that you may not be able to use.

People know we can only sign 8 players and anyone else you pick becomes a free agent,  right?

But I thought we could have 20 players and 80 draft picks minimum...

It's a game of reputations,  and having players and picks and trading them away constantly is going to get you a bad rep with agents. You of all people know how that can turn out James

Agreed. I'm the perfect example of why NOT to do any of that.

Because I was able to get a 2nd for Jarret McLoo as opposed to having to either

A) burn my second rounder because I can't protect them all
b) cut McLoo and take the PR hit.

It's all about building future assets. I've got four contracts coming off my books next year and four first round picks to supplement them with. I'm in a good spot after inheriting a team who's been perennially awful because I've made moves.

[Ty]

Still, Metro is the new trader Joe

[Domingo]

So you're not even going to try and extend your players contracts?

[Domingo]

Metro,  don't get me wrong,  you can play this game however u you feel best,  because we all have our ways of playing, but like I said... it's a game where your reputation matters quite a bit,  so be weary of what you do because you never know what can happen.

[Domingo]

And I love the route this pick took to get to Jon,  too.
