SSBA

2018    170    Kings    Draft PG Isiah Thomas with pick #1 of round 1.
2018    170    Nuggets    Draft PF Buck Williams with pick #2 of round 1.
2018    170    Clippers    Draft SF Kelly Tripucka with pick #3 of round 1.
2018    170    Clippers    Draft C Steve Johnson with pick #4 of round 1.
2018    170    Lakers    Draft PF Tom Chambers with pick #5 of round 1.

I am keeping my pick now that the guys I ranked #2 and #6 guy are still available. Hopefully I can get guy #3.

Real nice after we already had an agreed on trade...

if it's an agreed trade put it down. immediately.
so if you didn't there was a condition involved apparently (availability of draftees?).

now it's a bit late ...

He agreed to my offer and said to post...  then 9 minutes later he sent me another PM saying he likes a couple of the players left and he no longer wants to do the deal...  There were no conditions...

Just act like you did not see last PM and post the trade. :lol2:

I should but I will wait and see how honest he is going to be...  It would looks pretty bad for someone to say to post a trade and then 9 minutes later he backs out of it...

I said you can post it. Its not an agreed trade until i agree to the trade in the completed trades thread.

"Step 4: Check back to verify that the finished trade is agreeable among all parties.
Step 5: Post the trade on the Completed Trades Forum using the template specified below.
Completed Trades Forum: http://phillyarena.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=16
Step 6: When accepting a trade, quote the original trade that you are accepting in your reply."

"Once you have posted a trade in the completed trades forum, it is a contract.  It must be honored.  The original post of a trade cannot be altered.  "


Either way, after i said you could post it, i sent you a pm a minute later telling you nevermind.

Pretty bad picks by the Clips if you ask me.

Oh man, i'm so curios to see how the backourt of Isiah & Magic will work out. It's just unreal.

a rook and a 3rd year player leading a bunch of washed up vets on 1yr deals. wow. we're all on the edge of our seats already ...

:-)

oops, houston we've got a problem.

in the past in SSBA, posting a trade wasn't necessarily what led to a deal but some sort of an agreement, like by PM, which was reached BEFORE anything was posted. The reason is simple: you need to be able to TRUST people that tell you "post it".

(it's not something I personally like, but that's how DEREK handled it so far)
(but I also don't like posting a trade and then NOT get an agreement because someone saw my post and made a better offer, so maybe that evens out ...)

Who says?  :P

I have the PM's in my inbox...  If you look they all include the time which they are sent(which in this case was 8 minutes and some seconds)...  It's a trust and honesty issue, which you are doing a good job in proving you are neither trustworty or honest...  I gave you a chance to clear this up in private, but it seems as if you want to go the other route...

yeah, i was gonna get buck williams with the 3rd pick and isiah with the 4th, but then some fool took isiah with the first pick so he was gone.

explanation: that is a stupid remark. the first two picks in this draft were very obvious to everyone. after those 2, I am sure there would have been at least 10 different choices for the 3rd pick if every gm could make his choice. there are a couple other players I liked as well... thing is, you gotta make a choice. your remark to say that these are bad picks is plain stupid. you will only be able to tell in the future. this is my choice and you have to live with it.

oh wait... I have only twice brought together a young team that eventually turned into a great team:
- Clippers in SSBA... or don't you remember how many times they wooped your ass? :)
- Warriors in DJSL... they are still on the rise though.
so i think i know what i am doing. is it all still pure luck? no! will i need some luck for these rooks to develop into great players? sure!

Kinda nervous today?

What is it? Work? Wife?

Geeez....

hahaha... neither. i dont work and i just sent my wife to the moon. :)
no, its just a reply to your crazy remark. but i should have known that these are the things that i should expect from you... so there was no need for me to reply.
eh, what the hell :)

You can call that a stupid remark as much as you want by i belive 9/10 GM's would have picked Tom Chambers or some other available guys instead of Johnson & Tripucka.

But anyway, do what you want to do.

Ok, now I get an explanation. So thats good. You could be right. I was thinking about Chambers as well at one point. Thing is, he has no rebounding for a pf! And he can shoot from the outside. Both those abilities make him more of a sf in my opinion. And that is what Tripucka is as well and I value him better than Chambers. Just my opinion.
Johnson is a bit of a gamble. He is only 18 with A potential so he has many years to grow. Hopefully he does... if not, you are right about this pick. Only the future will tell.

While we don't know how any of these players will turn out, speaking of the rebounds Steve Johnson wasn't any better as well (if we're talking about real life), he was a 5-6rpg guy through out his career, even lesser rebounder then Chambers.


Btw Bods, Johnson was 24 when he entered the league, why is he 18 here?

It is also his choice and you have to live with it. :D

ok..

-300 on potential..

 just kidding. :)

another first round pick the kings  :D zeke and magic? intersting....

yup, this is true. Even if it's not on the completed trades thread, an offer and an acceptance has been ruled as a deal in the past (so long as you can prove it). We'll have to see what the commish says.

Obviously he doesn't see it the same way as you...  So yes everyone, we can back out on trades just so long as we do it quickly!!!  Remember it, and use it to your advantage!!!

Also, this isn't the first time I've been fucked by the Grizz on a trade...  Needless to say, but I will longer do any deals with him...
