i haven't check my page lately, but i hope it is a good trade that is offered to you, maybe you can trade up for Marko Jaric, or someone else on your team.

Well the offer isn't that bad, but I don't think I need the player he is offering to trade with and my team have a good chemistry (except for Jaric :beaten: ), one missing link and it will destroy everything, so I rejected his offer.

I'm eyeing on a player that is in the free agents pool right now. I'll give him a week to see his performance in the pre-season games, and if I am convinced enough then I will drop Jaric and pick the guy from the free agents pool.

gotta figure out how to waive a player, and pick up players via free agency.....how this works?

Go to your team page and you'll see the "drop players", "add players" and "propose trade" on the top of your smack message. ;)

Yeah, that is why I rejected the trade offer. I think it is still too early to make any moves right now. Just observe for a while and see the performance of your players before making any moves.

Good for your team, ne? Raja Bell seems to be improving, he should give you good numbers for your team. :) By the way, your pick in the later round, Jarrett Jack, seems to be very good and is actually in the list of the fantasy NBA's most promising sleepers and is among the list of rookies that will make an impact to their team. :shocked: Damn, you caught everyone by surprise there (including me) by picking him up in the draft. We never realized that the guy is a diamond :bonk:

Close game, considering Phoenix has their starters in for most of the game... I guess they were trying to send a message to the Lakes... I woulda laughed my ass off if Nash or Stoudemire got hurt.

Hard to believe this guy's an NBA player, but he is (Chris Kaman, Clippers)... Looks more like a serial killer, ne? :hehe:

yeah, i saw him play in a game last year on tv...he played good and seemed promising.....but i actually read it from one of the online articles you told me about, that is where i decided to pick him, hopefully he has good numbers this year. :applaud:

i didn't pick him in the fantasy league, since he was a risky player...and is not 100%.....
but don't think they would've gotten hurt.

when is Kobe playing? :bonk:

Soon, I think: he's been scrimmaging with the team this past week.

:lol:
Probably because of the long hair and those facial hair, ne? :bonk:

Don't complain dude, I am the commissioner of that league and yet I ended up in the 8th position when I am supposed to be in a higher position than that (in most leagues that I've been to, draft machines usually place league commissioners in the top 5). :banghead: Stupid Yahoo draft machine, it never goes in favor of my team. :grumble:

they might sign him up...reading in the paper that he might re-sign with the Clips for a new 5 yr contract...

The Clippers' management must have been threaten by this guy :hehe:

lol...
he's averaging better numbers the past three years....11.9 boards this year...
thought of choosing him the fantasy draft...someone else got him....good center.

Yeah, and don't forget his blocking abilities since Elton Brand isn't known for his defense, so basically the Clippers rely on this guy as the last line of defense inside the key. :)
