Lucky17's Yahoo! Points Hoops League: 2014 Offseason: Post Lottery

Look, you guys can feel free to push your own agendas by arbitrarily claiming my assets suck (FYI over half this entire board agreed they'd move #16 for Bennett... so you're wrong), but it's hard to take seriously when those are the same assets you claimed were "too much" when I acquired them.  And so when I trade these assets (that you arbitrarily claim suck) for new assets (that you now claim are too much), it proves that the assets had trade value to begin with... otherwise a team wouldn't have given up new assets (that you claim are too much) for the old assets.  And of course I'll inevitably trade the new assets (which you'll now claim suck) for newer assets (that you now claim are too much) even though sometimes the newer assets (which you claim are too much) are the same assets that I traded away in the first place (that you then claimed sucked)... Either my assets suck or they are amazing depending on which agenda you're trying to push... and the fact that I'm consistently able to trade these "Worthless" assets for what you arbitrarily claim are "better" assets proves my valuation of the original assets weren't wrong.  Stuff is worth what people will pay for it.    You can disagree with the value, but if someone pays a price for it... you're wrong on what it's worth.

You are completely correct that we can push agendas but you can't make claims about things I said without backing it up. Now do it or don't.

Who said, you acquired Bennett too cheaply?  And was that before or after he floundered for a second straight year?

Also, why is it that you constantly make veto able deals with fitz?  His continued involvement in this league baffles me. And this is just further evidence of collusion in my mind which is just scummy

Fitz hasn't been involved in the league for several months.  diggles has been running that team and participating in trade discussions with several teams.  Are you guys voting to have him removed as well?

Eja my bad. I could have sworn you said once that you click veto on every trade I make and you didn't care if it was against the spirit of the league.  Maybe my memory is failing me or maybe it was someone else. No worries.  Tp.

If he isn't involved and I think this trade is bad enough that it makes me think it's collusion is that any better?

If I said something like that it would have been within a certain context. It wouldn't have meant all your trades for all time or anything like that.

For a point of clarity. Apparently fitz is co-gm for a different team now, not diggs disciples. 
 
My mistake.

Wait... When did Bada bing tell you this?  Why would Bada even do that?  Also, are we sure Bada bing even exists?  I cant remember ever seeing proof that he exists.

Should we be sending Trade requests to Bada bing or fitz ?  What's happening here ?

[Rondo2287]

My apologies for my mistake , didn't mean to distract from the issue at hand

i admit I found that all weird. I definitely want to get back to vetoing or not vetoing things.
