2009 PFDC Fantasy Basketball League

[Babak]

Masoud: Extremely disappointed to see you run and make a trade with your 11th place buddy literally the day we made an announcement about how trading with teams out of playoff contention is poor etiquette.

I mean, really? Right when it's announced that Iverson will be gone for a while and the Sixers are looking to cut ties with him for good, and then Lou Williams puts up a huge game, your friend decides he wants to trade him to you for the recently disappointing Flynn? Anyway, no hesitation on my part to call for a veto on that because of the reasons I stated.

This is truly turning into an embarrassment of a Mickey Mouse league if I've ever seen one.

[Babak]

Also, I see the situation between Behzad and GBBA has not been taken care of yet. Midnight has passed and now you can't pick up any players for GBAA to set in tomorrow's lineup. I am more than willing to take over the commish duties to square things out for everyone if you feel you don't have the time or patience to make sure things run smoothly. This is the most important time of the season, and we need full attention and dedication on the commissioner's part.

As I announced earlier any team who lines up against GBBA will be locked for their next matchup. About the trades you can veto any trade you feel inapropriate instead of *****ing all the time.

From now on, as commissioner, I think you should make sure that teams facing GBBA have their players benched (which you can enforce through your commissioner tools) in order to make things fair for everyone. For example, I'm sure Demis must be pretty upset right now that you are handing ommy, the guy he is competing with for 1st place, a free 11-0 victory next week.

Let me ask you an honest and very simple question: Can you see why some people may find it a bit suspicious that your friend Shahin, who has been inactive all year and is currently in 11th place with zero hopes of making the playoffs, would suddenly decide to trade an emerging Louis Williams (for the reasons I previously mentioned) to you for a recently underperforming Flynn literallly on the day we mentioned the protocol regarding trades between teams in contention and out of contention?

You may interpret my words as b!tching. I view it as maintaining the integrity and honesty of the league to make sure nothing that would be viewed as fishy or improper happens, which is the position I hope you (as the unbiased commissioner) and everyone else in this league would have. We have all spent too much time and energy on this league to let anyone get away with even the slightest improper advantage, regardless of how fair things may seem on the surface.

As for the benching players I will make sure teams have their players on bench starting from next week.
There is a button under the trade message where you can vote against a trade, other than that I dont wanna discuss the trades Im trying to make with you. if you want we can discuss the trade you are proposing me.

11-0 for the following week is not gonna solve the problem becasue that gives "another" team free 11 points!

masoud do what babak says and its very simple. Just bench behzad's players, get some nicce free agents and they will make this week 5-5 or 6-5. and starting next week just bench and lock each team in case they forget. I am sure Babak is willing to do it if you don't have the time.

[MoJo23]

Masoud, seriously, as the commissioner either fix the job or hand over the commissioner responsibilities to Babak!

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

radin ban to change his roster should have continued through this week also.. but w/e good luck to everyone.


this whole idea was stupid begin wit and now u guys see why at a pretty intense time for those of you who are in the race.

[Babak]

Todays games start in less than 3 hours and Behzad's players are still lined up. If his guys today aren't benched, it's going to be very difficult to catch up to him and make things equal with free agent pickups for the rest of the week.

Hopefully either Behzad reads this and benches his players, or Masoud logs on in time to take care of it

yeah but it was the only way to kick start the league with odd number of teams. Nothing against Shahin but this is PFDC league and only known PFDC members should be allowed to play. 10 teams would have been perfect. Hopefully next year we wont have any unknown teams.

I both pmed and emailed Behzad on sunday. I have a hard time believing he didn't read hsi "email"! We all check our emails constantly.
Honestly with 3-7 being so close in the standings, behzad had the least chance of getting in becasue of his tough schedule. I think his team needs to be benched not next week (ommy will take care of him ) but the following TWO weeks. As a matter of fact he is playing masoud the last week of the regular season so masoud himself is the guy who would suffer the damage if something is not being done.

and VETO to the masoud and shahin trade. a BIG VETO!!

^^^ joooooooooooooooooooooooooooon..


we need PFDC app for iphone yo lol

the yahoo fantasy league app is alright but ya

[Demis-11]

I knew this was gonna happen so I could care less...im still gonna bench my guys but hey..w.e id figure bezhad is active so Id think he would bench his guys, but meh..

[Babak]

Just for the record: I would have no problem with the current trade if Masoud were making it with another team in playoff contention who would have an INCENTIVE to get better. Although Williams is the better option than Flynn going forward, the trade is not lopsided enough to be vetoed just based on the players involved.

The fact that the trade is with his friend, who is also in 11th place and has no chance of playoffs, suggests the trade is collusive, intended to help Masoud. For this reason alone, it should be vetoed. This rule has always applied in every legitimate fantasy league, and this one is no exception.

[Hichkas]

so now Behzad get a victory and from next week you will lock the team that plays against GBBA? Is that fair?

[persianbruin]

given next week is behzad vs ommy, benching bezad's is not gonna matter that much. Ommy can stand his ground! I think this week should end in 5-5 or 6-5 so it would be fair and there is still some time to do that.

as for masoud's trade,yes babak, I feel the same. I was against ANY kind of trade between the 2 from the beginning (go back and check, the posts are still there!). Its nothing personal against Masoud. If the shahin was a friend of Babak, then I would have said no trades between babak and shahin. This is precisely why I believe if another player from outside of PFDC is joining the league, he must be known by several league members and not just one. hala masoud torsh nakon! again its nothing personal.
