I am going to trust that people aren't on here trading with themselves across multiple accounts... I am just going to say that we shouldn't just be preying on inexperienced owners just because we can. We should be helping them, not exploiting them and creating an uneven playing field. It really kills the spirit of these themes.

And this isn't me coming at you just because you are good ben. Nobody said a peep about your first trade.

I trade 1st, 5th, and my original 6th I have left to tcdahn7 for his 2,3,4. tcdahn7 to confirm and pick.

2, 3 and 4? The market rate for this was established last night. He literally gives up more than you did to move into the 9th spot.

Jesus Christ you guys. I intentionally didn't even ask for that last night because I was worried some poor sap would take it. Why the hell is someone always intent on making a stupid trade with ben. It really blows.

ben: you should know better man.

I wanted the worm and I know i will pick up a good scorer and decent rebounder in the 5th ..Rodman is the best fit with Lebron

Cool, I'm not going to tell you who to draft. But there were two pretty similar trades completed already this round. What is the point in paying so much more when the going rate was well established?

Sm sent

He offered me a trade that didn’t help me, I said no. He said he would do this trade if Rodman was available.

if enough people object we can veto and backtrack.

I mean either we have to wait longer for the league to fill because we hold out for owners with more established experience in this format or we don't drop the hammer on these folks for exploitative trades. You know what's fair, you could have and should have countered with something that was.

Well nobody else seems to care but I also realize I am not the sort of person who stays quiet about this sort of stuff. I just take this league too seriously to feel like it isn't an even playing field.

It's a lot better for everyone else if I just bow out rather than keep ******** about it. You should be good to find someone since there is a lot of time until my pick. Thanks.

What exactly would you recommend? Not letting the guy make the trade / pick he wants because it benefits ben? That is the problem with this argument every time I see it in a league. Is this one really egregious enough to quit?

I would have recommended ben teach the dude why it is lopsided and help him come up with a deal that was better for the league / both teams. Not just exploit the dude. Could have made the 4 rounder a more reasonable pick and been done with it.

And yeah man. I play this league to win it because it is generally the best league on the site. It’s not fun when the resource pool is not equitably distributed. But that’s just me. I am the only one who feels that way so I shouldn’t stick around and ruin it for everyone else. Enough picks have gone by that it would be bad for the league to reverse them.
