Interesting

What's that?

[KShorey]

Hey Billy can we go ahead and amend this deal? Rob, as he stated, said I got "screwed" and isn't going to honor the deal me and Corey had in place....so Boston can take all of Herrera's salary for this year. It's the only fair thing to do

Hahaha you did get screwed because you and Corey had a deal that is against league rules!

[GeorgesGoons]

I would give more information.

The deal was that you would retain the salary and Corey was going to trade you the next two 1st rounders.

By rules, isn't that draft pick trading? I don't think Rob should get stuck with a shitty deal he had nothing to do with.

Another option is to take back Herrerra and you send back Farley. Like the trade never happened.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

What's the deal Corey and Kevin had in place in addition to this deal that they couldn't make at the time? I'd assume some 1st round picks?


I don't even have an issue with that even if it's against the rules, that one doesn't bother me at all but just trying to figure out what happened since this deal was really bad for Anchorage just based on what was posted as the trade.

Don't understand if it was part of the deal shouldn't it have been posted here?

[KShorey]

Yea it did involve 2 picks. But I'm screwed according to Rob...chicken shit way of doing business. I've shown the conversation, just mentioned the deal to him so we were on the same page

I clarified that with you as well. Referenced the multiple times it has been mentioned just so you would know I wasn't trying anything shady

[shel311]

But I'm screwed according to Rob...chicken shit way of doing business.

Rob didn't do any business or make any behind the scenes deal with you.

That's on you and Corey. It's fine to ask Rob about it, but it's complete nonsense to call him out for not agreeing to this. That's absurd.

[GeorgesGoons]

as an incoming owner I wouldn't be willing to trade 2 1st round picks.

I say take herrerra back and send Farley back to Boston, you might be able to make a deal with another person

[jeheinz72]

It's almost like this is one reason many leagues don't allow draft pick trading

Fine with me

This whole pretend it doesn't happen is what gets me. Corey last season was posting picks on his trade block. Right or not, nothing was said

And what's so shitty about 2 picks in the 1st round, picks 20 or later, for 30 mil in retained salary. Like 1st round picks are homeruns yearly?

Absurd? Come on shel. Me and Webs had deals for guys in my IC to be sent later...Webs bounced and both players are now with NY. What's absurd about it

[shel311]

Absurd?

calling it "chicken shit business" on Robs part is 100% absurd. He has no business with you or that deal.

Asking or requesting it from him is certainly fair. But there's nothing wrong at all and he shouldn't be called out in the least for not doing it imo.

What's absurd about it

the calling it "chicken shit business" that part is absurd.

[GeorgesGoons]

Could you imagine the shit show if I made a trade for Herrerra today....haha

[Boston_Rob]

Could you imagine the shit show if I made a trade for Herrerra today....haha

Hmu on slack.

[KShorey]

So Corey gets bashed for 15 pages non stop for a dead topic...leaves 48 hours later (and anyone that believes the timing of his departure wasn't about it is as naive as they come) but that's not absurd.

But expecting a deal to be honored, that is FAR from 1 sided, is absurd. Or my bad, calling it a chicken shit way of doing business is what makes it absurd.
