Chavez Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 ...sort of a salcap/dynasty type league; My other RBs are Dunn, Rudi Johnson, and DeShaun Foster - this gives me license to trade or outright dump Foster. Burleson is injured - I still have Steve and Rod Smith at WR to go with Lelie - not a fan of the two Den WRs, but maybe one could be packaged with Foster in a trade. The other part is I'm hard against the cap, so this trade should free up some flexibility for me as well. I WANT to pull the trigger, gimme a reason not to.

Fenokee Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Cuz you'd feel bad the rest of the season for schoolin' this guy in TRADE 101 class?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 LT 1009896[/snapback] I only have LT for this season and next; I can lock up Willie long-term; IMO Deuce + Willie + healthy Lelie > LT + dinged up Burleson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrappy1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The reason would be because I think LT is still the best fantasy player in the game. But I think I still make that deal. I really like Deucey and Parker has looked fantastic as well. Plus I think Burleson is highly overrated. Freeing up salary cap space is just a bonus.

Chavez Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Done deal. Heck, he even threw in Charlie Rogers at the last minute (not that that makes or breaks anything, but gravy is gravy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Parker goes belly up, it'll bite me in the butt, but as of right now, I like the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 The gyner just downgraded the trade - a true blockbuster deep-sixed due to his lack of nut. It's gone from LT/Burl for Willie/Deuce/Lelie TO Dunn/Burl for Deuce/Lelie; still an upgrade but really cuts into my flexibility on a few levels.

You keep LT and he keeps Willie. Obviously I rather have LT so it is better for you. Personally I HATE Lelie but I'd do the deal just for Deuce.

Personally I HATE Lelie but I'd do the deal just for Deuce. 1010016[/snapback] And I agree with Giantsfan on this too. Only I don't hate Lelie...not crazy about him, but I'm still unconvinced that Burleson is too much of an upgrade over him, especially considering he's hurt right now. Deuce on the other hand I think is a clear upgrade over Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 And just to clarify my position I do hate Lelie and think he is WAY over rated in that he's never really done anything, but I also think Burleson is way over rated and since he is hurting now and will miss Sunday's game those 2 are almost a wash and Deuce is much better than Dunn so get it done.

Skrappy1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) just to clarify my position I do hate Lelie and think he is WAY over rated 1010042[/snapback] I can't hate Lelie...he's a UH alumn and I am too in a not-really-kind-of-way (I took 1 weekend class there years ago). Though I did see Tom Brady and the Wolverines come in and whoop the crap out of the 'Bows back in 1998 I believe. :doah: Edited September 22, 2005 by Skrappy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think I drafted the poor man's Dante Stallworth! At least I got him in the 7th round though, and as a WR3 I can't complain too much. Sorry the deal didn't work out better for you Chavez, but I think anytime you can get Duece, you're doing well. I'm not sure why your trade partner has such a thing for Burleson, but more power to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what I can roll D Foster and Lelie into trade-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Just for clarification: THE TRADE WAS DONE LAST NIGHT. (not saying your dumb Perch, despite your obvious conservative handicap, , just a heads-up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hey Chavsped, I'd make the trade. And for the record, Perch is dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Reasonable deal for you, IMO. The object of the game is usually to accquire players like LT, but in this case (salcap, dynasty roster implications) the move seems to make sense.
