Ask him. I didn't make him one offer. He just kept PMing me better deals. In my view, you swapped picks for nothing because ace couldn't decide who he wanted. 9th rounders and 12th rounders are equally worthless. I would have just left this alone.
Why would you trade for if you didnt want to do it? I think you couldn't decide. I could have easily picked.
Just leave it ghoti, you'll get nowhere with this. Just like you think it was a great deal for you and GK6, me and ace think it was a good deal for us. Thats all it matters.

For us the draft will continue to be similar, its just that I wanted Chandler while he still was available, and there are at least 15 great players still that haven't been picked, which some will still be available by the time ace's time is up. I paid for the change by giving up my 9th rounder for the 12th rounder.
hmm interestin how this draft is goin.... looks like a lot of players i like are still available... maybe i like the crappy players

I am coming off like a dick, so I apologize. This isn't fun. You'll still get a good player ace, but I just don't get why you weren't chomping at the bit to get your sidekick for Roy when there are so many good players available.
