This does not make sense to me and seems pretty lopsided. Both are vets here though and as long as this is not a dump I will not gripe too much. I just don't see a world where Hitman gets close to equal value here. Once again... As long as this is not a goodbye to Hitman in this league all is well I just do not understand it.

As if.........So what happened is that some how my player signing didn't go through and I lost about half my team. This includes one of my 100 rated DTs which were the cornerstone of my defense.

I'm doing what ever I can to try to mend my team. My first thought was 'screw-it, I'll just drop the team' but I'm going to give it a season and see if the team can improve with next season's draft. For now, I'm probably done. Now that I've traded one of my only offensive threats too, I have no defense and no offense so I may really be done.

EDIT: I'm done, meaning that I am done trading. Just to clarify.

I'm looking for a game where stuff like this (a) either can't happen by rule or (preferably) (b) the GM's are too sophisticated to engage in such behavior. If anyone finds such a game, please let me know.

My teams are always competitive and this league is no exception. I've been 11-5 for two seasons straight. I lost in the conf championship last season and made it into the second round this season.

OK people, this not a dump and it's not a lopsided trade. Look past this forum at my team and you'll understand.

Just a little update: This 'unsophisticated' GM's team is 10-2. So much for gutting, huh? ;-)

Both teams in the trade are on top of their divisions...
