Blockbuster pending approval

I most probably got the short end of this trade but I wanted to lock up another SF position (next to LeBron). Thanks..and TP.

And to the other GMs...thanks for the discussion.

Trade to announce:

Rondo2287 trades Andray Blatche, Luol Deng, Eric Bledsoe, and Webskins 2012 2nd rounder
Designated Drinkers trade Rajon Rondo, Andrew Bynum, and Courtney Lee

Well it was a bitter back and forth and I also think I got the short end of the stick haha, so we will just have to wait and see

[Rondo2287]

So my team was pretty desperate for a PG, Rondo is one of the best and youngest in the league so trying to get him was a no brainer.  Giving up Blatche and Deng was rough.  I think Deng and Rondo are easily the two best players in this deal, not sure which is better though.

I love me some blatche just cause he is a knuckelhead that I wouldnt want on my real life team but is a very solid fantasy player.  One thing that made me prefer bynum over him though is that Bynum is in a more stable situation.   But bynum has his injury issues so we will have to see how it works out

Seems like a fair enough deal.  Last year's stats probably favor the Drinkers, although I think that in a keeper league, I like Rondo's return.  I think Rondo and Bynum have the most upside; Deng and Blatche have, in my opinion, hit their ceilings (which are pretty darn respectable).

The big question marks will be Bledsoe's development, Bynum's health, and Blatche's role.

Yeah, I'm bare thin at the PG position now but I'm gambling on Beaubois to be finally healthy and fill that position. Also, I can move Paul George to the SG position and have LeBron and Deng at the SF position. I also didn't have a starting PF..and I got that in Blatche.

Egads, a fair deal in this league? 

I also had to deal with the balance of wanting my namesake on my team and having to root for a laker to be healthy

Thanks for your opinion...appreciate it. Trading Rondo was not easy at all...Bynum, well he is a Laker and I didn't mind moving him even if it hurts me a little...he is a Laker and his knee is a question mark. Only one more Laker left on my roster now...need to get rid of him as well.

Can we get clarity on an issue I saw on the spreadsheet?

TWW has the rights to swap 1st rounders with the Webskins

However, it appears the Webskins 1st rounder belongs to Fairweatherfan (rusted rims).

So what does this mean?

My understanding is that TWW has the right to swap picks first. FWF either gets Webskins' first or TWW's first depending on what TWW decides to do.

For clarity's sake on the list that I've been keeping (which is just a backup for now for Lucky and to lighten his load) I've listed the pick as belonging to whoever it has been traded to since they own it.

Again for clarity, my list of, for example... (via TB-1, Nat-23) starts with the original owner (TB in this example) then goes through who's dealt it (Nats in this example).

I think everybody is just scared that the 2287s are turning into a contender before their eyes.

Darn tootin, I have had a ton of roster changeover since i blew it up right before the trade deadline last year.  Pretty stoked with how it turned out.

Now somebody toss me a PG so I can stop exploring trade ideas.
