Magic-Knicks - cancelled

[MagicGM]

it doesn't count out the fact that the 1st deal was cancelled. I was just asking him.

Deal cancelled.

Reason:
True, Magic made an offer.  Then Knicks accepted.  But after that acceptance, Magic made this pm:

what do you think of agrobast instead of brown(you'll have to add someone like nguyen to make it work cap-wise)? coz I'll need a pg and Darius is better and I gurantee you that.

Now, this is clearly not MagicGM saying "if you want Darius instead, take him, I'll agree to that too".  MagicGM is offering Darius instead of Brown because it would be beneficial to him, "coz I'll need a pg".  That deal, to me, sounds like it's still in negotiations.  It's now KnicksGM's decision whether or not he wants to hold Magic to the previously agreed upon deal, since it was Magic who made a counterproposal to a deal that had already been worked out.

I am not going to hold KnicksGM to the deal.  However, please be advised that deals once agreed upon are considered final.  Please reply to all PM's you get (even if it's a ridiculous offer).  And never ignore a posted trade in the completed trades forum.

you missed out the latter part of that message.

 my bad.

first of all, I didn't miss that part.  The 2nd part of the message is ambiguous at best.  If what?  What's the other options?

You say "if you like it, post it and I'll reply".  There's no second part.  No else.  For all he knows, he could think it's "otherwise, the deal is cancelled".  After reading the first part of your message, WHICH IS CLEARLY CONTINUING NEGOTATIONS, I would be unsure of whether or not the deal was in negotaitions as well.

It's stated very clearly in the rules that posted trades are not up for continued negotiation:

If the original trade posted needs to be modified (NOTE, THIS IS BECAUSE THE TRADE DOESN'T WORK AS POSTED, NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE CHANGES THEIR MIND AND RENEGOTIATING HAPPENS)

I will take it under consideration and post my final decision tomorrow.

I don't get it. If it were the Knicks who posted the trade and the Magic who declined then this would make sense, but not the other way around. But I'm not complaining, because this trade would make the Knicks worse, and I have the Hawks pick that is competing for #1...

ouch, low blow...but it's so so true

[CavsGM]

Hey, I was gonna say I have my own pick as well, because it is up there, but I can't diss my own team...

there was only 2 option on that message. Whether he'd like Darius, or Justin.
As I said on that message, if he likes Darius instead Brown, he could post it in this thread, and I'll later accept it. but it doesn't mean that it if he doesn't like Darius, the deal would be cancelled just because of that. thats why had IF into that part of the message.

Reminder:
