Nope, must be a coincidence. Plus, I'm a Knicks fan...not sure how much longer I can deal with that.

10 team, keep 3, H2H league
trade proposals initiated by me:

mine for theirs:

josh howard for kirilenko
I would not accept this deal, prob closer than I suspect though.

damien wilkins for chris bosh
Insta-reject

paul pierce for joe johnson
Nearly identical right now, good deal

i have way too many small forwards.
i could use another power forward and a second pg.

guy with AK has many PFs and guy with JJ has many PGs so i think these trades will go through.

i dont think the guy will part with bosh just because he is bosh but worth a shot.

also thinking about trading lebron. all the guys in my league are pretty religious about keepers and i think i can get a lot more value for LBJ than his actual keeper value.

or am i not valueing a keeper correctly? this is my first year doing a keeper as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Prob no one in NBA that has more keeper-league value than Lebron, maybe Wade. Maybe Durant/Yao/Chris Paul/Arenas, but that's all that's even close, and it's still not close.

Post some of those trades - you would have to get a ton of value back in order to deal LBJ.

Anyone know wtf is up with the Memphis PG situation?

i wish i knew. otherwise i wouldnt be juggling lowry and conley every other day.

Hold Lowry in a H2H if you're struggling for assists. I'm holding Conley in a weekly league with 6 bench spots - I figure Conley for 25-35 min in a few weeks. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

any PFs i should be looking out for in the near future that are probably on waivers in a 10 team league?

all trades didnt go. pretty sad about it.

offered LBJ for chris paul and rashard lewis but that didnt go through.

i picked up luis scola which im hoping will help me for my next few days but once tmac comes back we all know that his production goes away.

i mean theres radmanovic, maxiell, joe smith, andray blatche, reggie evans, antoine walker, travis outlaw, jeff green, villaneuva, donyell marshall, garbajosa, warrick, maybe thornton, maybe nene...

edit- for those familiar with knee cap injuries how long do they take to heal? (randy foye) and boo on the conley shoulder strain.

thanks.

I'm the commish in one of my leasgues, which is a Yahoo league with 12 teams. I made the mistake of going with the ability to veto trades, assuming it wouldn't be a problem. It only takes 4 votes to veto a trade and it seems as if a block of players are just veto'ing every trade because they have good teams.

7 out of 8 trades proposed have been vetoed. Multiple people have written league messages complaining about the vetoes, and even after people started getting pissed the last two trades were vetoed: Dirk for Chris Paul, and Biedrins for Peja. Both trades were trades of need for each team and should have easily gone through.

Whats my play? I can't change the veto system, and I feel like this is ruining the league.

It's even worse. It's not even democracy. Just takes 4 votes.

You really boned this one, Franchise. I would tell the league to stop being a bunch of [censored] and I'd quit if it keeps up.

Ask people who vetoed reasonable trades why they vetoed them.

How much power have you actually ceded? In my Yahoo league I have the ability to lock/edit rosters, add/drop players from any team. I don't know if changing to league votes changes this. If you do have this power it is possible to force trades through. Of course that should only be a last resort.

You need to tell anyone vetoing a trade to post why they are doing so, and if they don't then more extreme measures may be taken.

There is really no good solution at this point though as this basically amounts to changing the rules midstream which is a big no-no. It's up to you to decide what is best for the health of the league.
