Problem is, sometimes "your guys" are someone elses guys too. This supply / demand thing has a tendency to move up the price or shut off lines of availability. Pretty simple really. But, yes, I agree with you. It can be frustrating. But....... sometimes the best trades are the ones that don't get done.sloth8u wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:07 am "he's not available"
its the offseason, a great time to buy/sell...play the value game. good owners do this very well. whether owners price guys way out of obtainable or flat out tell me that "he's not available"... i hate seeing this, as it often times leads to an impossible owner to deal with when it comes to getting "my guys".

Re: The worst words in dynasty offseason?
Absolutely true. When someone inquires about one of "my guys", I reply saying it'll take a severe overpay to get that player. Usually this ends the trade talks, but at least we both know where we stand.JFever wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 10:01 amProblem is, sometimes "your guys" are someone elses guys too.

Sometimes I like having at least one share of a stud in one of my six leagues, so I may come off as obtuse when people inquire as to his availability. I'll say that too.
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.

Re: The worst words in dynasty offseason?
So this. Offers timing out is ridiculous, especially during the season.
On a similar note, non-responses to messages intended to start a trade discussion are equally infuriating.

Re: The worst words in dynasty offseason?
As a commish who spent an inordinate amount of time co-writing and updating a detailed constitution and who makes a concerted effort to keep everyone informed of league activities, there are so many...
“When is the draft?”
“Why can’t I add a free agent?”
“When does trading re-open?”
“Can we reschedule the draft that’s been set for four months? I have to work that day.”
“Can I drop a player during the draft?”
“We should use league funds to buy a joke trophy for the toilet bowl winner.”
I could go on...

Re: The worst words in dynasty offseason?
My second favorite:
"I've got a source with (NFL team) who says (player A) really lit it up in practice and is going to posterize the league next year" or its inverse
"I've got a source with (NFL team) who says the team is sick of (player B), he's a cancer in the locker room and they will cut him".
Of course player A is on their team and player B is on yours.

Sorry Skip, but the words I fear most are:
"The Cleveland Browns have just traded for (my player's name)."
