OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[The TeeJ of Philly]

Except you do when teams can pay less for a first round pick and get the same production from him. Why should they trade with you when the can get the same production cheaper and save tht money to resign them in a year or not be locked in for overpaying Keaton.

I was speaking from my point of view on that. I wouldn't trade you being guy to overpay for Keaton. So the deal would have to add something else. I like picks over players.  And I like picks of value.

[Rob]

Well... There's me telling people not to trade with Cory. I guess his desperation is kind of my gain.


Also, for whoever does the Season 17 part of the spreadsheet. Ron de Veuster is a SF/SG not a PG/SG.

[The TeeJ of Philly]

You didn't take advantage of him enough rob.

[GM Jimmy Gooch]

As always, nice article, Teej.

[Rob]

Well, he did bend over

[GM Franchise]

No, actually you bent over...

I think we should all vow right now not to trade with Cory.

[Cory]

No, actually you bent over...

I think it was a fair situation. I had to rid of Keaton and wasnt going to get much if anything, a S18 2nd rounder was the going rate, and I got an upgrade on my 8th in Sniep who should be able to get 6-7pts a game, and with 0 picks in the draft Rob now has a legit SG/SF and complete roster under the cap. Win-win.

[Talon]

I thought we could trade s18 picks until the off season.

[GM Franchise]

I thought we could trade s18 picks until the off season.

This is what I brought up earlier. I don't think they can be traded until the season is over.

[Cory]

I thought we could trade s18 picks until the off season.

If thats the case, could easily just make it "for considerations" and just swap the pick after. No sense holding up a deal.

[Domingo]

Nice article, TJ.

I understand why you would put me on the losing end of free agency, but I wasn't really interested in scrambling around making offers for free agents that I wasn't interested in having on my team. As much as I would have liked for Lee to stay, him leaving is a blessing since I can pick up a player in the Draft to replace him at a cheaper contract and continue to have my team grow together and play better as a unit.

I guess it's just a matter of opinion on the subject,  but interesting to see what others think.

[The TeeJ of Philly]

I understand like I said for others. I don't remember who targeted who or what the offers were bin hindsight I should have had you first then reno

[Domingo]

Oh, was that for people that were bidding for free agents? I didn't bid to talk to any.

[The TeeJ of Philly]

For both. Who I felt lost and won free agency. Basically who helped their team next year and didn't.

[GM Hannibal]

If thats the case, could easily just make it "for considerations" and just swap the pick after. No sense holding up a deal.

Exactly. To be fair though in most sports management games dont you usually get to manage your picks for the upcoming draft as well as the one after? When I started I was allowed to trade my s17 pick for Konda, despite the fact that the s16 draft hadnt happened yet.
