Right and turf toe is a bitch to get over in season since you aggravate every week you play.

The players I traded to him have put up 240 points so far this year. The players I got from him have put up 147.2.

This is not nearly as lopsided as some of you are making it out to be.

And so are high ankle sprains, which is what Matthews has. We are both taking a risk there.

I said borderline. Apparently in this league collusion is the only reason for vetoing a trade, but in others it's different and being this lopsided would probably at least need a vote among the members.

Which way is it lopsided? 240 points vs. 147.2 points.

Come on man. This was a lopsided trade no matter how you spin it. Just be happy you are on the better end of it.

Lance Moore is not putting up 40 pts ever again and Best already has his best game of the year. You sold high and bought low guys that are more consistent week end and week out. Smart move, I'm not sure why are trying to convince everyone you got the short end of the stick here. Maybe this trade would make for an interesting poll in casino planet.

I guess I view it a little differently. I dont think it is as lopsided as some of the other people, but I definitly think doomy got more upside on his end. But between Lance Moore, who can put up numbers and fast, and Best-when healthy, has good upside too.

Thats the name of the game.

Somewhere Herm is saying "You play to win the game"

I'm not trying to convince anyone I am on the short end of the stick. If I thought that, I wouldn't have made the move. However, it simply isn't as lopsided as what you guys are saying. I have received MANY good offers for Best in this and other leagues. And he wanted Lance Moore. Originally it was for Dez and Bowe. But last time Bush went down, Moore had a great season.

I'm done commenting on this trade, but I just don't like people acting like this is an awful trade or anything, and then ignoring the actual production so far. Yes, I sold high. But, if Best ends up having a Chris Johnson type year, which he could have, then I shouldn't have sold high.

I agree 100%. Great trade for Doomy, barring anything crazy he has the league locked up now IMO. I'm not sure why is so upset, I would be happy if everyone was saying I made a Ricky Williams for an entire tems draft type trade.

However, Matthews hasn't done anything yet. Of course I like his upside, but Best has clearly outperformed him so far in the year, and is much more explosive.

That pre-draft trade was pretty even.
Yours aint even in the same ball park.

BTW: I'm not for vetoing the trade just bustin your balls.
It takes 2 sides to make a deal.

Who's to say I didn't already have it locked up before the trade? :-)

I was pretty much killing it already. Hopefully this doesn't mess up my locker room chemistry.

It's funny you want to look at it that way, but no, it really wasn't.

That's why someone started a thread on the ESPN site saying you raped him on that. Of course, it probably was more even than people gave it credit for at the time. Much like this one.

Doomy... BCD makes a great point.
We should have the option to vote for trades since we all have a vested interest.
I wouldn't have voted against the trade but since so much is at stake the option would be nice.

Something like you have 24 hours to approve or deny the trade.
majority wins.
