Just venting

Ok so we have a 10 team IDP 4 round rookie draft - I worked my way up from 1.10 to 1.04 and was sending out offers to the top 3 teams trying to move up. None were willing to trade.

my offer to the 1.01 (he owns McCoy and AP) was the following : 1.01, Tate (I own Foster) for 1.04, Wallace, K. Smith & Gehart - I looked at it as a starting point maybe get him thinking about possiblities. Here is a counter I got this morning: Tate, Slaton, Royal for Wallace, Marshall, K. Smith, Gerhart. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. I don't know if my offer offended him or what. My reply was "No thanks-this won't make my team any better"

Maybe I'm over reacting I don't know.

your offer wasnt' offensive, probably not in his favor though so he might've taken it that way

TR>WAllace

Tate> K Smith+ Gerhart

But it's not so far off to warrant a snide counter. He's clearly overvaluing TR. I think your offer was, as you said, a starting point. You're not going to walk into a dealership and offer $500 over sticker for a car....

every league i am in hasTR rated as high as rice,mccoy,foster..it will take something close to getting one of them for TR IMHO.. That offer you sent was a very good starting point..i offered this guys owns hunter..the 1-08,2013 1st,gore, for the 1.01 and told i would have to add stafford to the deal...

...but his counter didn't even include the 1.01, and I think it was pretty obvious that the 1.01 was the meat and potatoes that Rabid was looking for...

I see his counter as a slap in the face. Public flogging!

How about "No thanks-this won't make my team any better A-hole!". Would this get a better counter offer?

That offer is not offensive at all. imo, its actually pretty close. some people would argue that a young top 10 proven WR is better than TR. I would say that this other owner takes things a bit too personal and I would not bother sending him any more offers.

+1

thanks for input guys - appreciate it. I'll just make my picks and let them offer me stuff from now on - hopefully I can win this year and make it a three-pete champion-wish me luck

Good job on not burning bridges. We have one guy that does that. You make a reasonable off and he counters with the most ridiculous offer you can think of.

Howdy, Stranger!
