who told you this is my logic?Fair Deals Steve wroteCOLON
as much as i like mik, this is the logic i dont understand.
"i wont overpay but i want player x""i have one of your players, so to get him you have to overpay"
it's much more like what Nick said: "Never make a trade unless you like it."
which may sometimes translate into: "you want a player i don't want to trade, so to get him you'd have to overpay"
I guess according to bbkl logic, i should draft a goalie in the 2nd round, use a roster spot on him for yrs while waiting for him to develop, and when things go right and he's almost ready to contribute just trade him away for another 2nd?.. and maybe repeat the cycle until with that 2nd rounder i'll happen to draft someone who won't prove to have any value?
i fail to understand how that can be true altogether with people calling me 'raped' more than once in some of my deals in the past.shooker wroteCOLONhis never make a trade unless you win by miles mentality has made his team pretty good though.
I've made more than 120 trades since joining the league, one would think other GMs would not be willing to make that many unfavourable deals..
as said in the past, part of this matter is i seem to value players differently from most BBKLers, be it because of tastes, euro exposure or strategy.anton wroteCOLONits the "my player is better than your player because he's mine" mentality. we all have it to a degree, others are just worse. mik and nick in particular.
By now, most of my players are on my team because i like them better than other GMs. That often shows up in proposals i receive or i make.
Maybe the reasoning is "my player is better because i honestly think he will indeed be better in the future" ?
wouldn't that be a legit thought.
all players involved in general tend to have a shit value to your eyes when u ask for them from us
