I see what you're trying to do, tempting me with another celtic! I like Bosh on my team though.. I can't check yahoo at work so I'll have to look at it later ~

Not bad, but I think Devin will have a great year, and steals are hard to come by. Garnett for Bosh is more than fair though.

Well then LBJ for Garnett is fair too?

I'm basically looking to move Garnett for Bosh because I think I could use his stats more. Bosh will likely get more pts and more free throws at a better %. Garnett is a better fantasy player though so that's why I'm looking to sweatin' the deal a bit.
I'll wait for your counter offer and go from there.

Not that I have any reason to help Zan or anything...
but... He's basically saying, "I'll trade you my #1 pick (7th pick) for your #2(13th)." You then get to be the one person on the team with two #1 picks. He was trying to make it a LITTLE better for himself by getting a better guard(which you have lots of) than you were getting.

nono I get that, I just don't like the second part of the trade is all. I'm clearly new at this, but I'm trying my best!
My thing is, KG and Bosh are pretty close to a horse a piece for me I think, especially when you consider KG doesn't qualify as a center, just as a PF. I need centers, especially if I lose Bosh - I mean I have mediocre guys there as backups at best, unless Oden turns out to be a beast. so when I consider the whole trade Heinrich is really crap in comparison to Harris and I'm losing a bit.
I'm contemplating, I'll figure it out !

I see your dilema with the Cs. I could revise the trade if you'd like but I'd still like to take in a bit more than I lose if trading away Garnett.
I want you to do all the researcher you want Gyps. I don't want to go in hosing people or anything.

I'm looking for a big man with good ft% and fg%, rebs are not THAT important. Anyone have anything for me?

I'm looking for more of a mid rounder actually, like an Aldridge or Lee type player

Good luck with Thugs.
He'll just try to hose you. You ask for Aldridge he'll ask for your best player in return. Then he'll offer you a two for one with his complete scrubs for your second best player.
He's won a few leagues because he's made deals with people who didn't know anything about basketball and didn't care so they accepted trades.
Three years ago he swung a deal Derek Anderson and Olwakandi for Carlos Boozer. I tried to veto it but he wouldn't have it (he was commish of that league). He tried to justify it by saying Darrel Armstrong would have a great year (he didn't even know the player he was giving up).
Be warned.

hahah, I actually just proposed a trade for Aldridge. Is he your friend IRL? Maybe I'll get lucky

I'm not opposed to moving Lee. Really, I don't have ANY players that I *have* to keep, as long as the trade makes sense.

10th rounder ftw:
Update: Arenas (knee) said Wednesday that he is “a lot ahead of schedule” in his rehab from knee surgery and could return by late November, the Washington Post reports.

Last year he guaranteed on his blog that he would be back before the all star break. He played 10 games.

All last week I was going back and forth between Ty Thomas and Charlie V. I think it's pretty clear I made the bad choice.
I think Thomas is going ot have a great year though.
