I was willing to offer you more than max cash. Why would I start off with the highest possible value ever when there's a chance you might take a lower offer, it's called negotiating. Look it up and then maybe you'll learn one day how to actually make a trade happen for the benefit of your team for the future. I would have easily offered you max cash plus another player off my roster that I had talked to about a possible trade beforehand. All you had to do was make a counter offer to get the ball rolling. Why just tell me to piss off, what's the logic in that? Nevermind, that's actually a rhetorical question, I already know the answer, you just don't know how to play this game.
It's an ineffective negotiator who doesn't get what he wants just because he doesn't understand (or choose to accept) how the other party thinks. According to your own description of events, both sides failed here.
