Don't imply that you wouldn't get absolutely wrecked in an argument (intellectual or otherwise) if it wasn't a "gang up on you" type 'battle'.

Basically the same thing happaned. The only difference was that Aaron was stuck with a long contract. You got expiring. I even offered to fix Aarons because of the length of the contract he got(Glover). When the contract is an expiring contract I dont see why it would be a hinderance to any deal. As for Sundov, its another case of you not knowing the rules. You traded a 1st round pick for Boykins last year when he didnt have birds. You used a RC on Sundov although he has no Birds, and you have Stevenson available to upgrade? The Team overview? It was clearly stated when Aaron Reilly took ove rthe collection of Reward Points that the only way to get an end of the season upgrade was to do an ARTICLE. Not an overview. So why are you surprised when you do an Overview and it doesnt count? Once again, these are mistakes you are making. This is you not following the rules. No one is to blame but you. I do it knowing full well of the risk... but that's a risk I would much rather take with Sundov than with Wahad. A risk I took with Boykins. I knew the risk.. but hey look at what Boykins is now, imagine it panned out and he decided to re-sign or I signed him as a FA? It's risks I take, don't tell me I don't "know the rules." What pissed me off about the Team Overview/Article thing is for one... unless people keep track of their post counts, there's no telling how many you need until 200. I had 191 posts + 5 points for making playoffs. Had I known all I needed was 4 more posts to make 200 points, I would have done it, and made those posts RELEVANT. What was the big deal to accept Team Overview? Why waste my time writing an article that will only count for 2 RPs? That is pointless and makes no sense. It was 4 fricking posts to 200. I dont let people know there post totals so people dont just post 200 times and stop. If you dont know exactly how many posts you have, most likely youll go over where you think you need to be for 200. As for why a Team Overview wasnt accepted, well because in the rules it says it needs to be a article. Bottom line, you didnt follow the rules to get the extra RC.

Uh, Chris, a similar thing happened to me recently, and it wasn't bullshit, and I didn't take it personally because I'm not a head case. Get over yourself. Yeah, it's all about me, right. Right, I realized I basically got raped with this deal when I probably could have gotten a better deal like Fortson and two picks. Or like 5 1sts for Dirk, man I'm an idiot. Marion probably won't pan out, and those 3 1sts are probably going to be worthless... please. I didn't propose the deal, he did. It didn't work, so I wanted to take advantage of it. Yes, I'm admitting that I want to take advantage. It's not against the rules that I wouldn't accept Wahad, it's simple as that. With that being said Sundov is 20, and there's something called RPs. He could easily be what Wang Zhi-Zhi was to me in the old BBS. A guy coming off the bench getting 2-3BPG. Wahad is useless to me, and I don't care what anyone says, a worse player. What's more childish? Complaining about something legit? Or bringing up a time long ago that has no relevance now? Unless I'm mistaken, I have been one of the most active guys in the new BBS. My attitude? The only people that don't "like" me is Aaron, Pig, Mark and their little crew. Frankly, I don't like them either, they aren't even remotely funny and for some reason think they know it all and attack me whenever they can. I don't start anything with them, ever, it's simple as that. I don't care for them, but hell, I still propose trades to them and likewise. I really don't care if anyone doesn't like my attitude, but I know for a fact I'm not the worse. I appreciate you sticking by me Spence, because hey, you know I'm one of the most active GMs and maybe not the best... but I can take a bad team and make it a playoff team. I feel like I've been getting gipped as of late, that's all. I honestly think I got the better of the deal. Is his team alot better now? Sure, it is. Dirk is an All-1st and All-Defensive team player. That's also cause I RCed the shit out of him and I made him the player he is now. I can do the same with Marion. Those 3 1sts are just the icing on the cake... call it a bad trade or not, but NO ONE was offering me a player the caliber of Marion for Dirk, NOBODY. I needed a change, a defensive change, Marion is a much better defender and rebounder. Simple as that, so to those that are saying I changed my mind because 2 or 3 people said I got the worst end of the deal, are retarded. Change was needed.. I needed picks got them... I needed a player that could substitute Dirk, I got that in Marion, now you get over yourselves.. The Sundov argument is irrelevant. You have no Bird rights. You have no cap room. He wont resign with you at the end of the year. The only chance you have to sign him is to use your cap space during FA or to use an MLE or LLE. You have the same chance of resigning him whether he was on your team or not.

Also, nothing I brought up was irrelevant. You say I treat you differently, when in fact the things that have gone against you were either in the rules, or were treated exactly how I treat everyne else. And bringing up sticking by you in the old BBS is relevant because if I had something against you, Im sure you wouldnt be here anymore.

you get what you deserve man, pussying out didn't accomplish anything. um... please don't lecture me and stop being a kiss-ass just because I didn't accept the Fortson for Nowitzki deal, get over it. If you knew how to read, I wanted to do the deal regardless.. it was the way in it was carried out that pissed me off.
