Anyways, is anyone going to offer to take my friend's account to rotate or what? Or can he drop all of his players and we try to pick them up, provided we're all free at the same time that we agree on?
Is he definitely quitting? cos then first step should be trying to find a replacement manager.

Like I said, I don't mind taking any team and acting as a bot until we find someone.

Won't trade nor sign FAs, just take care of the lineup.

I'm not. I'm guiltshaming you guys for letting Faust disappoint you instead of just working to veto and moving on.
It was just a topic the other day somewhere else and I advocated in favour of people changing and caring about others but :))))

Offtopic anyway, whatevs

I don't mind if it's only for rotating but what others think about it. Also is his departure confirmed? @M3J ?

Talked to my friend. He said he'll let someone rotate for him or trade me his players and quit, and I personally prefer the latter since I"m doing horribly

lol checked his team. even with rotating he ain't winning shit anytime soon with 5 outs and one suspended, sigh.
@M3J can you at least ask him to make drop/trade moves then someone else can make the rotation?
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Aaron gordon, Wood and CJ should be back after the AllStar or shortly after but he really need to drop Graham and Malik.

Why all the drama with the Bel and Faust trade? They're Faust's guys, end of the day he should be able to make a call on what he wants to do; you can still vote to veto it if you don't like the sauce that's being thrown down. You know ALL of you would've accepted that trade if you were in Bel's shoes :lmao

If people don't want to play anymore given the season I think that's fine but we shouldn't force them into giving up their assets in case someone else wants to replace them or they have a change of heart later on.

I think it is. We should vote on whether if someone gets his account or run a lottery or something for his players.

but what's the point of him trading when he wouldn't care anyway? ANd on what basis?

Feels like the league has fallen apart a bit today.

To reiterate, I really don't blame Lemonade, Faust, and others who feel like they don't want to play anymore, that's their prerogative to feel that way given that at this point there's only a few teams that are legitimate contenders thanks to how the auto-draft turned out and how some trades went down that heavily benefitted one party more than the other in the long run.

I feel bad for @Belserion too because of the stink that got kicked up over the trade. Every single one of you would've accepted that trade if it came your way yet because it wasn't you there was a fair bit of whinging going on. If both Bel and Faust wanted to go through with that trade then that's their choice, you all can just veto it instead of going on for pages about it lmao.

Leave those teams as they are unless the others actively want to trade away some of their guys; if there was to be an auction let those better players go to the teams that are worst-off like @M3J to boost competitivity in the league.

I think the veto count should be 6, so there's a majority of 6/10 teams voting against a transaction.

Also think you shouldn't of gone that far with LM to cancel the trade tbh

Tbh I still agree and think this should happen because like... what's going to happen if I get those players? Bel's already kicking my ass, and it's not like I'll be able to beat others anyway. I mean, I've fucked up anyway and probably will continue doing so, so.

cancelled the trade because it's simply nonsense that turned into a bigger drama than it is. It would be the equivalent of you getting your ass kicked, getting mad and deciding to give up and to give jokic for free to another player just so he can avenge you. If such thing is allowed there is no need to continue playing, might as well start playing alliances and call it a day. LM exist to stop such thing from happening.

If you remove the 2 peoples who are part of the trade that leave 8ppl. Let alone we have someone inactive. I did my research the standard for a 10 teams fantasy is actually 4 our 5 votes to veto. One reason our was 9 is because i created it as a 20 teams league at first and left the default settings. Wasn't a problem until now since so far all trades made were legit.

those team should be left as they are if the owner doesn't care anymore. giving them away would be unfair to peoples who played well to this point. And i'm saying this as someone who is 3-7

Don't think there's any harm in doing a lottery for those we think could use a leg up like yourself. Would need to weigh it against what is a solid team for the top few and then the middle ground but even if it was just letting you have ONE guy I think that'd at least breathe some life back into your team.

I get what you mean but Faust was given way too much shit, and Bel was looked upon poorly too for accepting a trade that any of us would've accepted had we been in that position; if anyone says they wouldn't they're just lying at that point lmao. Maybe I missed it but @Hardy should apologize to Faust, no need for some of the language he used when addressing him and he really could've handled it better. Also understand your point but I don't think I'm like that :P

Need to strike a balance between keeping things balanced as they are and trying to get all 8 playing teams competitively. I wouldn't be against giving Milly a single crumb; maybe one of those big skronkers just so he's not flat out broke even if some of it was his own doing :XD Maybe that's just me feeling bad for Naruto ruining him all those years ago.

That's fair then.

Worried about the Lakers? We've still got one of the better records in the league, we didn't have AD or LeBron that game BUT we did see great performances from Trezz, Kuzma and Schroder. Did you see their fantasy scores? Schroder 53, and Trezz + Kuzma got 44 each! That's what we've been NEEDING from them my boy, shame we lost but it's not the end of the world. Overreacting to this would be like overreacting to that Lakers v Nets game, both were missing people so who gives a shit? :XD We still favourites in the west once AD is back and healthy. People need to put more respect on Schroder's name because if he gets a little more consistent then it really will be almost like having a big 3 as he's vital to the team. Also Vogel needs to give more minutes to Trezz and that lady ref who gave him a technical for saying "and 1" needs to get her shit together :lmao

And Haku absurdly overpaid just to get Porzee.
Absurdly overpaid? I gave him Bojan who was having a terrible season (hands down, he kinda had a breakthrough later on) and Drummond, and got two players that I could use. It was a balanced trade.

Though, hindsight, I won the trade, because Drummond's production fizzled and he even got put in the doghouse.

One guy means 150+ points per week. He would had gotten 1700 last week without using the free agents. It's absurd.

Faust actually got too little shit imo.

I wouldn't had taken Bel's trade btw, don't speak for everyone.

lol checked his team. even with rotating he ain't winning shit anytime soon with 5 outs and one suspended, sigh.
With very little managing he could be very close or ahead of Mazino actually.
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Like, if you put the benched players in, he gets 110. 100 more AT LEAST from dropping Gordon and Graham and getting a decent player and a streamer. Then trade one of his best injured players for a slightly worse guy. Done.
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Ok quick math was 80 extra points not 150, so without waving Milly would had hit the 1600 mark.

But wouldn't you prefer having better players and having more chances of winning instead of knowing you'll lose and just rotating because you feel you have to be active in some way?

Yep, and even losers like scav who don't have at least 4 wins or 5, depending on how you want to go about it. It'd make things more even and fun.
