Well I'm forced to play by the week. If I lose this week by 6-3 or 7-2 again...Joe Johnson wouldn't do anything for me in the coming weeks anyway.

Any trade I make right now is going to help the other person more than it would help me. If I stood pat...my team would have Joe Johnson, Steph Curry and Galo all in it. But winning the Consolation Tourney doesn't matter to me.

But in the baseball league last year I traded for Granderson, Beltre and a bunch of other top guys, fell in the standings, sold a bunch of them for keepers and draft picks and somehow started coming back despite a weaker roster.

I listen to a bunch of podcasts manram. I listen to a bunch of different genres. Always the espn and CBS fantasy podcasts (for whatever sport I'm doing at the time) then I also listen to a podcast called giant bomb, it's a video game podcast and the guys are pretty cool once you get to know them. I listen to a shitlaod more, all along the lines of sports, tech, videogames.

What podcasts are you listening to?

Trust me it was not easy for me to pull the trigger. Took me over a hour to decide which is a long time for me. Kaman has been a BEAST and Rondo does dish out more assists and rebounds then Paul. Pretty much trying to upgrade my %'s and TO's. Couldnt pass up the chance to get a top 3 player though. Hope Blatche can come back and fill Kamans void.

^ Kaman's a waiver wire player who's injury prone and i wouldnt say he's a Beast by any stretch, look at his rankings n Rondo's not even a top 100 player for Fantasy stats..

Fantasy Stats 2012:

Rondo ranked 170th, Kaman 186th Paul 4th

Last 30 Days:

Rondo ranked 147th, Kaman 183rd Paul 4th

Last 2 weeks:

Rondo ranked 230th with a 36% FG, Kaman 135th, Paul still 4th

it would be like me giving him Calderon and Dunleavy for Paul and i guarantee u guys would of said something.. and calderon is better then Rondo is multiple stats and rankings..

its one thing to think ur teams done but dont give up a Top 3 player and get back 2 guys not even Ranked in the Top 100

he trades just to trade, i swear its like his Fix.. his team is better with Paul and Gee then Kaman and Rondo..

Calderon better then Rondo

. You lost ALL CREDIBILITY with that statement. Rondo has missed 11 GAMES. Do you know how many they have played? 35

.

Rondo better FG%. 475% - 458%

Rondo WAY more points if you add his average over the 11 games. 510 - 392.

Rondo WAY more assists if you add his average over the 11 games. 354 - 317.

Rondo WAY more steals if you add his average over the 11 games.

60 - 26.

Rondo WAY better in rebounds if you add his average over the 11 games. 178 - 121.

I could argue this further but like i said you lost all credibility with the statement above. Also making arguments with rankings come on...

ur fuckin crazy.. yea, i lost all credibility cause you go by names instead of facts just like u hope Blatche can fill Kaman's void, seriously, kaman barely gets up n down the floor with them fuckin titanium knee's..

overall this year calderon is ranked 36th, Rondo is well over 100 big guy... talk to u later, i have to go out and get a Kaman jersey cause he's a Beast

Dont bring that bullshit out me because i brought out the numbers to prove it. You keep going off your rankings and keep losing leagues. Im not arguing the trade because like i said before i will come out and say if i got the better side. Im arguing your stupid ass comment that Calderon is better then Rondo when i brought out the numbers to prove he wasnt. Have you looked at Kamans game log? Since coming back from injury:

17 points

10 rebounds

1.2 blocks

45% from the field

80% from the line

Over the same amount of time here is a mystery player for the all wise philly fan. Over the same last 11 games.

17.8 points

11 rebounds

1.09 blocks

55% from the field

80% from the line

Pau Gasol. %'s rounded because not actually going to sit here and calculate it to prove my point further.

If you are going to sit here and argue with me over this kind of stuff you better bring your A game and not your bullshit rankings game cause its all you got.

Will Kaman keep it up? Beats the hell out of me and now that he is not on my team i could give two shits. Bottom line over the past 3 weeks he has been fantastic. I pumped Kaman to NO ONE. Its part of fantasy. You know selling high on players? Trying to get the most for guys who may not keep it up? Try it some time. You may get yourself a win in one of these

I trade because winning 3 categories a week doesn't help me.

And Kaman is NOT a waiver wire guy. He WAS a waiver wire guy.

And like I said when I compared this to baseball. If it wasn't a keeper league and I traded Granderson for Choo and Constanza or whatever it was, there's no way that should have helped me but I found myself going to the playoffs after I shook my team up. My team was great and was losing. Then my team became average and I started winning.
