I disagree. I think time plays a huge role, but some have a better ability to convince on a deal than others.

1. I was never over. 2. I was at 92.5 and save a couple mil on this deal so im alright now 3. I dealt YAO!! He's much better than daly offensively and they're the same age. LOL This is getting crazy. 1) you were over in the preseason sim, which doesn't count but it still is something. 2) you would have had to sign 2 players... if no one traded with you you would have been forced to go over. 3) no one gives a fuck about you giving up yao 1. dont be fucking ignorant.. pre-season is pre-season.. season wasn't going to start until thursday so whoever the comp signed meant nothing.. i was at 92.5 until thursday.. plenty of time to make some moves 2. ok captain obvious 3. yao's been a top 5 player and all league multiple times and is still a top 20 guy at the least... bert is just as good defensively but there's a big difference offensively .. there shouldnt be any discussion here

Random thought... There really are no Good or Bad Gms (Lumley is just different)... its not like you're born with sim league GMing skills. The only real difference is how much people care about the league/their team/winning. Some people are REALLY into BBS and those are the people that usually have the best teams/win etc. Then there are others that are into it, but dont live it 24/7... and then there are those that are just a part of it as something to do, but they aren't really into it(or they once were, but arent anymore type of thing). Its interesting... when a trade occurs that bothers some people, it's almost always between a 24/7 GM and a half-er... So again... its not really about being Good or Bad Gm... its really about how much effort and time you invest in it. Unfortunately, you'll never have a league where every GM is a 24/7 type(although, if you did... id imagine that trading would be hard to accomplish a lot of the time.. so it probably wouldnt be as great as you might imagine). I disagree whole-heartily with this statement.

It's a good trade but like others I'm upset with any GM who dealt with outlawz. The team that has won 2 out of the last 4 finals is on the verge of destruction and Lumley and Greg have not only kept him even keel but have made his team better!

Plus, lumley and I completely agreed on a deal for Roy like 2 weeks ago, and then I asked if he wanted me to post it and he has yet to talk to me in the 2 weeks since.
