If I trade a 1.2 guy for a 1.2 guy I might as well just not trade.
Theres cases where you can get depth and give up a early dtraft pick and still win the trade. I think longo mentioned he wouldve won a trade like that - where we vetoed it his rookie year.

They dont have to ask. Thats why we post on this message board. Maybe they dont listen, but im sure enough of us would be vocal enough that any rookie would be scared as shit to draft.

I dont really care that CP3 gets teamed up with Anthony Davis. Its not about who gets teamed up with who. Or if someone is in first place and gets a good deal.

Lets see you do it. Cause you invented this type of deal. Youre such an innovator. Figure out some new shit.

Youre the one whose only pointing at me when theres been 2 other trades that have been uneven. Again, you keep saying it--but if I were on the other side of that deal - i doubt your ass would be crying here trying to save me from myself.
