I was interested, but wouldn't have given up more than 1 2nd round pick. In fact I wasn't trying to get rid of any picks.

Either way, I'm totally shocked. I didn't think that he was worth that much, and I wouldn't have given 1 let alone 2 picks.

Austin is one year removed from a 1900 yard season.
I didnt use him much last seaosn.

[Matt]

I still think Schutz could've done more for you. That's an expensive 3rd down back.

I'm not afraid of Austin enough to worry about him beating me.

[Suicane]

Yall are lookin at bars. Im looking at numbers. Tim Austin, especially in my offense is like adding the Battleship Yamato to my elite squadron of rebels. We've gotten Yamato out of the ocean, and are now prepared to head towards Iclandar.

That's what I recently told Suicane before I beat his ass down in a game of puna.

don't really care much 'bout that. Ratings do count for something, and according to my scout Austin is about a 50ish overall player. I love his breakaway speed and some other ratings, but he is not worth 1 first rnd pick..........in my books.

I'd sooner have Beaver

[Suicane]

Ive played nearly 80 years of SP. I know i've sucked at gameplanning before but I am gonna be using every single weapon I have in a most egregious fashion on the rest of the league. I bet I average 40 points a game this year.

I'd sooner have Beaver

Absurd.

here's the negotiation.....

Tarcone: so you're interested in Austin?

Sui: yep. Let's start the negotiations at 2 1st rnd picks.

Tarcone: OK

Sui: Ok what?

Tarcone: I'll take it

Sui: Oh, that was easy

I'm just busting balls here too.

I'm all for giving away draft picks for proven talent. I've done that in my history here. I thnk if you want something, you do what you need to do to get him.

I wish you luck, I just don't think he's the right guy for you...

Wow. It must be really hot there.

[Suicane]

Thats actually that way it was. So anyone who wants to give shit about the deal send it my way and not Tarcones. I wanted the deal done and was willing to give up two 1's to do it.

Im not in love with picks, i'll certainly have to reasses that in 2k7 but for a couple of low 20's at best picks, I thought and still think that Austin was worth it.

assuming McMurray doesn't get hurt and your team somehow collapses. You've got some stiffer competition in your division now and it's not inconcievable that you could end up a 5 win team if you lose a couple key guys. That's just based on the 6 division games you'll play
