BS Trades...

Mil. Millers take advantage of a new player by trading 3 bullshit players that he picked up for cheap as free agents and then trading them to Pittsburgh for two first round picks and two second round picks.

Pembrose, you should be ashamed of yourself.

There goes any semblance of competitive balance in the league. The poor new guy loses top picks for slow and bad players.

How are any of them bad trades? I get that they aren't high speed but they are plenty capable. Not to mention they are young and on great contracts. I also didn't twist their arms. I sent everyone in the league the same/similar trades and the new Pittsburgh owner sent me the trade offers for the players though I did switch the request to picks as I didn't need the players he offered, pretty much all of them I'm generally taking a loss in trade value. I've even gone so far as to offer players at quarter value in my trades. None of it is BS as I've been more than fair.

You got 60 players on your roster right now. Those three that you traded could have been picked up as free agents when you released them. And you know you would have released them. All three are nothing but back up players at best. And you stole his two 1st and two 2nd round picks for garbage.

The guy is a new player only here 8 months. He doesn't know your trick of signing a bunch of cheap free agent players and then offering them around the league for draft picks. What chance does he have now to improve his team in the next few years? None!

I'll say it again....you took advantage of a new player and should be ashamed of yourself. And i'm even giving you the benefit of doubt about having a second account. Which it could look like too. Very sad for the league.

Hi All,

I just want to assure you all that this is not being ignored. As of now, I've reached out to all parties concerned. Further, I have no issues in saying that I have had the pleasure of playing in many leagues with Pernbronze, and in my books, he is a very good coach and an upstanding individual. I believe that these types of trades happen in a lot of leagues....I've just had to reject a trade offer in another league from a game vet with similar offers.

In finishing, I'd like you all to know that the integrity of the game is paramount...and like to thank Hondo for flagging his concerns whilst also stating that any "cheating" accusations toward Pernbronze are prejudicial and unfounded.

I'm still waiting to hear from the other party...and I'm sure this will be resolved very easily.

Hi all,

I've reached a decision WRT to this trade. First & foremost, this decision was after many hours of chatting with some of the best League Admins in the game.

1. Hondo was 100% correct to flag this, on the grounds of league integrity.
2. Most coaches acknowledge that the trade meter is very much outdated.
3. The trade heavily outweighed the advantage of one team, especially with draft picks gained.
4. Did one team get a heavy advantage over a "rookie" coach, 100% yes.

I have contacted both HC's involved in the trade, Zayking & Pernbronze. Both were very approachable and understood the concerns raised.

In ruling, Zayking wished for the trades to stand, but requested CAP relief. As a token gesture and goodwill, Pernbronce has put himself forward to mentor Zayking going forward

Finishing, I hope this will settle the matter.

LOL...

turns this into a FUBAR league...

And OMG, Pembrose offered to take the Cherry under his wing and mentor him. We should recommend him for Sainthood in the MFL Hall of Fame. Maybe he can teach him how to fleece the next FNG out of his top 4 picks.

I've said it twice and i'll say it for the last time...Pembrose should be ashamed of himself for what he did.

H....
