CBS Product 2009/10

So, I sent a request over to CBS Sportsline hoping for an update to the 'On the Block' feature of their website. I'm trying to generate more trade talk in 09/10 as with potential expansion of the JBL, the Free Agents' pool might not be full of great talent. So, it's up to me and the other JBL owners to somehow stimulate trades...

Here was my idea and their response...

Thank you for your insight, I have forwarded your suggestions to our production department for discussion during the Fantasy Basketball development period. I can not promise these changes will be implemented however they will be discussed.

Hi there, not sure if you are considering any new features for Basketball in 09/10 - but I thought I'd throw one out there...

In our league, 12 teams, with owners living across the world, it can sometimes be difficult to generate trade talks...I like the "on the block" feature but think it could be expanded...

For example, it would be cool to know that TEAM A has offered Player A in a trade...so not only do you know that TEAM A has Player A 'on the block' - but he's been offered in a trade. And maybe you go a step further by having a field that shows that PLAYER A has been offered to TEAM B.

Now, all other teams have notice that TEAM A and TEAM B are talking trade (it doesn't have to mention the other players in the deal - only the ones being offered). Maybe now other teams jump in there and try to 'up the ante' for Player A'.

Anyways, just a thought as I try to generate more trade talks in our Fantasy League that has been with CBS for a long time and around even longer - we started in 1991!

Oh, and one little side note. My man Brandon Roy agreed to an extension in Rip City today...and Timbo thinks he's going to steal him away from me on JBL draft night. Good luck there son.

Is he the first piece to the dynasty in PDX?
