Dave, I think the main problem is that you find Amare a lot more valuable than the rest of the league does. That's your chip you're trying to move (I'm assuming), not Beasley or LeBron. But the thing is, no one really wants Amare. I mean, they do, but not in exchange for the pieces that you seek. That's just my opinion on why you can't get anything done.

Everyone finds every player they own to be more valuable then what the rest of the league thinks. See Jordan with Kobe. Jah with his entire roster. Keelty with every goddamn player he ever owned. etc etc.

See this is the problem right here. EVERYONE ASSUMES I want too much.

People assume a lot of things. If I don't post it means I'm not active. WRONG. I send a lot of PMs/IMs out.
People assume I wouldn't really deal Lebron/Amare when I put up a block. WRONG
People assume my future picks are worthless. WRONG I said I wanted to rebuild when Lebron hits free agency.

because someone who's going to be rebuilding really wants to deal all his futures away

D2A told me that he is very dissapointed with the way the Grizzlies franchise has done. He would have won at least 100 more games so far from what he says !

Not much to work with over there in New Orleans. I think he might pay off if your patient. A little more posting would help

Dave, I legitimately don't give a tenth of a shit if you're active or not. What's annoying is, you make these bullshit posts about how you're busy and you'll become more active and THEN of course you find time to blame the league...nobody thinks you'll deal your guys, everyone is annoying to you, and of course we sim too fast.
It's a total load of shit. Stop with that absurd post that you repeat every week and make changes or don't. Everyone assumes you won't deal your guys because...well...you haven't yet and you're asking for far too much. And I'd love to see these deep trade talks you talk about. The most you'd give me for Monta was Amare and you didn't actually talk about any kind of deal, and you told me it wouldn't be sensible for you to deal LeBron or Beasley. And I know Mark tried to talk trade with you and didn't get the time of day. And your block was a total bust.
But I don't give a shit. I wouldn't say boo if you didn't keep tossing out that BS post about how you're going to become more active and how it's the league's fault? You're busy? FINE. What the hell do I care? Sit on your team, but stop with the empty promises to be more active or to make big trades in your block.

Sit on your team, but stop with the empty promises to be more active or to make big trades in your block. Whats bullshit is your entire post here. If you must know. Mark inquired about Beasley for some of his vet superstars and I responded kindly saying I wasn't interested in his proposed offer and sent a PM back to me throwing it in my face well it doesn't matter because he found better options anyways. You sent a PM to me asking a question of what I would be willing to offer for Monta. I responded I'd be willing to offer something with Amare. You never responded. How is this my fault? The league does sim to fast for my life schedule at this point in time. We are simming faster than we ever have. Is this bullshit or is this fact. I say fact. What is your problem?
