The commish shouldn't have to send a message like that, but I can't see any justification for this trade at all. It is awful on every possible level. Perhaps you would like to start a poll in the Casino Planet about this one too. I would imagine your feedback would be much different on this than the last one you posted, that most people said it was pretty even. |

Yea Bradshaw that's who it was he traded away...I knew it was someone good. The Colston for Marshall part of the deal I think by season's end will be pretty even...Colston hasn't done much yet but he'll come on eventually I think. He could have a good matchup this week against a weak Ariz. secondary actually. At the same time Marshall has been putting up some decent stats to this point. I'm not really sure how similar his and Colston' stats are right now but I think last time I checked Marshall's numbers were a bit ahead of Colston's at this point in time. Again don't hold me to that. I can tell you though that he thinks there's too many weapons in NO fantasy wise and that's why Colston hasn't produced much yet this season. Basically he just grew impatient. I still think he and Marshall are pretty even fantasy receivers by season's end. I think he also thought he'd have to throw in Bradshaw though to get Marshall's owner at time to bite on the trade. I told him try Colston for Marshall straight up first if he wanted him that bad and maybe throw in Snelling if he had to just to sweeten the deal but that from the get go Colston and Bradshaw was too much to give up unless he knew for sure that he had to. That's kind of my take on it as far as I understand it anyhow. If Portis was currently healthy, that deal would look a lot better for my brother I feel though. I'd still have to give the advantage to the team he traded with though. Colston and Bradshaw is a pretty darn sweet deal for him especially with the team he's already got.

Bradshaw is a top 10 RB though, and pushes the deal so far out of whack it isn't funny. |

It's about on the same level, you and I both won our deals IMO. You just can't be hypocritical and accept deals where you win, but put on a hold on similar deals between others because you don't have a dog in the fight. |

As others in the poll you posted said, I won my deal, but it wasn't lopsided. Should we see what people say about this one? And besides, I pushed it through, so you can quit complaining about this now. I'm sure there will be something else to complain about soon enough. |

That's what I tried to tell him. You dont give up too much if you don't have to...in a sense lowball the team your trying to trade with first. I don't necessarily mean lowball them to th point that you'd be screwing them over or anything. If the owner didn't like that deal I told him to start adding other players to the trade, Snelling or someone else for example...but never sell the farm right of the bat on a trade. Thats just ludacris. Also yea that's what I thought about Marshall's numbers to this point (him being better than Colston thus far I mean). I just wasn't for sure on that and didn't feel like looking it up to be honest. Lol.

Exactly...well maybe not. I mean I definitely see what your getting at. I try not to put too much faith in numbers if the player is a stud fantasy player and isn't performing to expectations early in the season. Of course this can vary depending on certain situations I suppose. On the other hand if players are playing out of their mind early in the season and have been consistent doing so for a few games in a row, then I might put some faith behind such a player...take A. Foster for example. I didn't think he be nearly as unstoppable as he's been (in all fairness I'm sure not many out side of Hou. fans saw this one coming) but at this point I'd buy in and say he's the real deal even though he's only had a short sample size to work with thus far this season. Another example this year might be M. Clayton in Stl. A non factor for the first several years of his career for the most part, but since he's arrived in Stl. this year he's been putting up solid fantasy numbers week in and week out. I'd say he's the real deal this year, even though like I said sample size this season is short. Now does that make any sense what I'm trying to say?

I do feel that injury is a different animal and if a guy didn't know that a player just went on IR or was missing the rest of the season, then that's what I was saying. If you don't feel that taking advantage of a guy who didn't know Portis was missing the next 6 weeks or longer was a big deal, then more power to you. |

The simple fact is that this trade was crazy lopsided one way. I don't like vetos and if the two people agree to a trade then thats fine. But there is no way you can compare this to Doomys and Shormans trade at all.
