For 3M:

What behaviour in chat/trade discussions/general discussions drives you up the wall?

[brooks]

When potentials move more than what the game allows.

[SoftLettuce]

People using the phrase "trade r*pe" Is a huge bummer. Wild to me that people use that phrase and word for things so casual as fantasy football or FBB.

[Hooper]

Jon is gone, but the PMs just asking for my players without any real substance was so fucking annoying. "Gimme Evan Turner"

Also, I hate when people try to explain to me why I should take their offer. Not accusing anyone here of doing it, but when someone presents a trade to me and frames it like I'm a dip shit and they're doing me some huge favor, it really rubs me the wrong way

Tbf you are a dip shit!

[Catdude]

I don’t like when someone tries to devalue one of my players in trade talks. Like “dude he sucks” or “he’s gonna die in TC in like 1 season so take this shitty offer.”

[BeatsHaveADream]

When i ask for a pick and get offered a swap

[yrtb]

When i ask for a pick and get offered a swap

Man I’d love that, usually when I ask for a pick I get offered cash

[Swope]

Mostly when trying to make some things happen that I think could benefit some other teams and just straight up get left on read. There’s a couple real bad dudes at this and kinda kills the vibe of this league that so many others carry

[Panic!]

When GMs keep 30 year old bench players even though they are not trying to compete. It's either you tank or compete. Some GMs just like to be mediocre.

[Foreman]

The immediate over reaction to most trades. Usually, trades are just a portion of what the GM has in mind for their team but the discussion doesn't continue with the rest of those moves.

Honestly it irked me when ebbs was saying he wishes he had KAT. This the same man that had Curry Brook and Horford at the same time multiple times. You’ve had it all brother!

[Cloud]

I hate a lot of things:

1. Nickel and dimers, just haggling over the smallest things and willing to hold up an entire deal over something so miniscule

2. I hate dealing with ego traders. Acts that would include you as an ego trader may include but are not limited to: Refusing to make a deal that's mutually beneficial because it wasn't your initial idea. Only making deals where you "win" based off perceived value, as opposed to making deals to fit your team and encompass the bigger picture, only trading for chat love / appreciation is lame.

3. Asking a thousand people for advice and holding deals up because you're scared to make a move on your own. Play the game! Roll the dice!

4. Coming to me and inquiring on some player or assett and then trying to talk me down and telling me oh he isn't that good etc, okay... then why do you want him?

5. Buddy deals

[GB]

I hate when people threaten to deal someone really good to a contender or good gm for cheap if someone else doesn’t match their asking price out of spite. Like ok you are going to punish yourself and the league because you personally are either over valuing some player OR you are just not timing the move correctly. Show some patience and do the leg work and you’ll find a decent deal usually.

[yrtb]

Getting left on read is a huge bummer.

I also get annoyed when I say no and continue getting badgered on why I should make a deal.

You’re lucky I left you alone when you declined my offer

[LukaSZN]

All’s fair in love and FBB trades. But I do hate getting left on read. It’s such a killer. Say no, counter. Something no reply is triggering.

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

Offering me cash. If a player doesn’t have birds, sure. But why am I going to trade a productive player for cash when I have 100M in my bank.

For the next sim question, we should all have to guess specifically who Cloud is talking about in each one of these

[The Godfather]

Left on read is the worst

I'll get back to you and player u wanted gets traded before I get back to u..lol

[NotTheKings]

People who keep insisting on trades for a week when you’ve said no 22 times lol

people who offer no input in offers just a simple no or straight ghost. I’m probably guilty of this one sometimes lol

GMs that trade purely to win the deal and never willing to compromise on fair deals

[Donkey]

Any trade negotiation with Panic, or should I say Manic*. Having to wait a day between responses and not get actual feedback on your offer is infuriating. Which is why everyone should have a no-trade list, aka a list of GMs who you just will refuse to trade with.
