"Stage 3: Bargaining"

It's from the Kubler Ross five stages of grief. Thought a Christine Michael owner could relate!

Thanks but I wasnt sad. I dont think he is special but took a deal because it filled needs. Sloth8u saw a fit and it worked for us....smart owner.
I liked what i gave up better but needed what he offered more...leverage enough but not excessive

Anyway i doubt he amounts to much in gb but who knows...relieved i dont need to sell my soul for a rb...today

latest trade was pretty big one

jules gets: stafford, prosise, keenan allen, early 2nd, hopefully late 2nd
knotts gets: flacco, akeem hunt, julio jones

i hated giving up prosise hes a man crush of mine but this trade sets me up with 3 studly players i believe i can count on for minimum 60 pts a week in leveon bell, julio jones, and antonio brown. my depth is poop tho

Yeah I think you killed it in this one but I am not a believer in Allen the same way you and Jules (likely others) are.
I do like Jules upgrading his QB and landing Procise. Think it is a solid move for his team.

Going to make our conference last few games very interesting to say the least...

I thought my chances slid pretty hard when CMike was cut and Alshon takes a vacation but now they feel even worse.

Wow...jules is putting on a clinic on shaking your mid-standing blues.
(I don't necessarily mean in terms of the trades themselves or their value, but more in the sense of recognizing the situation your team is in and acting, decisively and aggressively, to change it)

Knots, how would you classify your team on the competing--rebuilding spectrum?

[dlf_jules]

I'd forgotten that playoff entries are divided by conference. In theory, that gives me slightly better odds. It comes down to me (24 VPs) against ericanadian (23 VPs) for the last spot in our conference.

Oddly, I think this trade is neutral for my playoff chances (because of Julio's Week 11 bye), though it almost certainly hurts me if I make it to the playoffs.

[maxhyde]

Yeah but you transition to a RB heavy lineup from a WR heavy. Not sure there is a net gain/loss in that. Guess it depends on how much they feed Rawls

Agree probably slightly weaker overall for the remainder of 2016 but a calculated decision it would seem. I think it is a solid move for you both

my team is on fire right now after a very slow start. im currently tied for my division lead and well in the victory points running (tied for 2nd in vp in my conference).my team is now about to be a huge roller coaster i think. im solid with bell, julio, ab, and i think im fine at qb with mariota/flacco, also gore is pretty consistent so thats 5 out of the 8 roster spots i think im solid. after that i just need theo riddick to just remain relevant. my biggest problem is at te. im currently starting either charles clay/will tye. but the ppl with good te to trade want too much imo to go after them. i may shop antonio or leveon bell for a lesser wr/rb and depth

[maxhyde]

Can everybody want too much or is the market just higher than anticipated?

[knotts4372]

that might be a little of both. i just know ,for myself, the price so far wasnt right for me

[maxhyde]

I totally get that. I am anti-TE in non-premium leagues.

Did not know that. Glad my efforts to throw this season were rejected across the board.

Yeah. Tough for me to reject that given the situation.
It was probably FMV but I decided to take a calculated risk that looks much worse post Jules-messing-up-the-power-balance-in-my-conference



Recalculating....

[maxhyde]

Trade deadline coming up...I am all ears.
I like Jeffery but might be willing to move him him if I don't have to eat too much of a loss.
Might be in the market for whatever though.
