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

[LarBrd33]

To be clear, I had nothing to do with any of the posts today regarding ChampsKind... or the gluttony of hateful posts about LarBrd33.   I deleted the LarBrd33 posts... just kinda classless:  http://i.imgur.com/kZhJF8G.png
 


My tone here may be lost... but I was kidding about Noah being worth less than Biyombo.  That's obviously not true.   And I genuinely think whoever posted those posts about Champkind shopping Noah is truly clever.... hat's off to you.  It seems to have done what you expected it to.

Perhaps all of us should stop visiting his website for good. No clicks at all. Ignore the hot garbage he posts. He will eventually get tired of playing with himself.

I didn't even check your stupid flutter feed until GC mentioned that some of the comments that were posted against you. I called them classless.

You know what, have fun playing with yourself. Post whatever nonsense you want to post on your website. I'm done with you.

Yeah ok, BFM... You got me... I've been creating hateful posts about myself... like this one from a couple hours ago:  http://i.imgur.com/Y0dJocj.png



... and then immediately deleting them so nobody could see them... just so I could come back here two hours later in a debate that yet to happen...  and use them as proof that I'm not the only one posting there.

Yeah, ok.   I'm crazy, but I'm not that crazy.

That's just a tiny sampling of the daily insults being posted about me there.  There's been about 8 per day.  Someone here is having a lot of fun.

C'mon LarBird... i've been on record (like 10 posts ago) saying used right, i think the Flutter feed is a nice wrinkle and can provide some intel and that (b) personal attacks against you or others is uncool.

that said I think you're being disingenuous at best here...

Champ, I'm not insulting you.  I'm just saying you're trying to peg rumors (about your own organization) on me... when there are 18 other GM's in this league all with access Chaz Buick and all with their own agendas to push.   Has it not crossed your mind that perhaps someone clever is trying to create drama between me and others?   Is your assumption that nobody in this league is that clever?  C'mon...

I believe this current flap started when i posted:

He still has my 1st rounder next yearand a few more interesting picks to deal (17, 22, 30, etc).   He's closing the gap. Buick reports he's targeting Parsons and Noah with the late picks.

I actually like the potential of the Chaz Buick flutter feed... used properly it provides some info on who's available or what some of the asking price is, etc.

But this feels like trolling of a couple GMs you've had run-ins with -- as does calling either "injury plagued"...

Whether or not you posted the thing on Flutter -- which probalby only 4-5 of us read --- you posted it here (IMO (as I said) to troll Champ and Eja.) where all GMs probably at least glance at all posts... like it's just a news tidbit you're passing along on par with "Hey y'all Ilyasova got traded"....

It is, in-fact, just as likely that you created those rumors about your organization just so you could come on here and push the anti-LarBrd33 agenda by claiming I was spreading fake rumors about your organization. 

It's actually not just as likely since over the last ~8 years of playing in Yahoo! and CelticsBlog drafts with Champkind I can assure you that that's not how he rolls.... one of most levelheaded, no nonsense and ubuntu GMs/posters here.

Champ seems to have just be replying to the post I made aobut i feeling like trolling... 100 TPs says if I never took the bait Champ never says a word about it.

[barefacedmonk]

I thought those insulting comments against you on your website were classless. Boy I was wrong!

Who knows, you posted those yourself. Trying to get some sympathy. Perhaps Rondo2287 was right.

BFM, you seem to be personally offended that I suggested you might be behind the fake rumors on the Chaz Buick flutter feed... that's interesting.

I'm not personally offended. But you've managed to p--- off just about every GM in this league. And you're going over the top now.

In the four years that I've been a part of this league, I've never seen CK had a run-in with another GM. Atleast not publicly. And you managed to accomplish that too. Kudos! Perhaps you can post that accomplishment on your stupid BS feed?

Gainsville... TP.   I saw the ChampKind rumors earlier today and thought they were funny.  FYI, there were also rumors posted about your team, BFM, my team and Eja's team.   

They were rumors.   Why would anyone take them seriously?  Someone posted that Fitz was going to co-own Bada Bing.  Why would anyone take that seriously? 

I thought it would be funny to relay what I read.   To be honest, I don't think you'll actually give up #22 + #30 for Noah.  It seems like that would be a bit of an overpay.

The difference w/ rumors about me, for example, is that I've not had a problem with the flutter thing.

ON THE OTHER HAND... You've clearly had a problem with CK who's said the Flutter stuff is really p***ing him off --- so it seems misguided at best, and spitefully-and-willingly-provacative at worst --- to "relay" them here.

Or to keep arguing with him and others that they're overreacting or not understanding how it works.

Or to suggest this is all part of a pact we've made to keep Marc Gasol from you.


Then... rather than just letting the embers die out... you have to pour gasoline on things by saying #22 and 30 is an overpay for Noah... smfh.

I used to think you were just either a bit aloof or playing fast and loose... I'm starting to change my opinion.

Please just stop.

[barefacedmonk]

Gainsville... TP. 

<Insert GM name here> TP. I see this almost everyday after you manage to p--- off everyone in this thread.

You know TP stand for Tommy Point and not Toilet Paper that you can use to wipe away your **** everyday?

[LarBrd33]

I'll shut down the Flutter feed.  Figured it had a 1% chance of being cool.   Kinda like the tourneys thing and the historical data on the league... a year and half ago it looked like this league might fold, because people saw Utah and Pitts as immovable forces.   There was a bunch of drama between members of the league (not me, btw... it's not like drama started when I arrived).   I was just trying to throw a bunch of crap against a wall to see if something stuck.   

I've never demanded anyone to visit any of that site.  I invested my own personal time in putting it together so people could have a quick and easy way to access the rules, offseason tracking, and news.  The flutter feed, tourneys, news, forum, season awards, and historical data was just my attempt to make the league a little better.   I threw it out there... I didn't get much feedback.

FWIW, I have no data on how many people actually used that flutter feed.   I have no data on who visited it.   The ones I posted were obvious, because they were about the Leprechauns and viral marketing.   For all I know, it's just been 1 other person posting... maybe someone who isn't even in this league (I see anonymous people lurking in this thread sometimes... maybe it's just some random person who is getting a kick out of screwing with me)

I'll take the feedback and get rid of it.  Pretty tired of deleting posts about how I should go **** myself and how big of a loser I am.   It got old.

Will listen to all offers that will help springboard Bellevue to 2015 Championship contenders. 

Please send relevant offers via PM or by letter to: "LarBrd33 c/o Pavilion For The Insane, Bellevue Hospital Center, New York, NY 10016"

[Eja117]

I'd make offers but I lack the requisite 10 first rounders to get Joel Embiid. Maybe if I sell Parsons...no wait....I can only get like pick 20 and 33 for that....ah never mind. I'm out.

[Rondo2287]

Can't believe there was a two page flame war and I wasn't a part of it.  Bummer

[Eja117]

I stated on the Chaz B feed that fake rumors weren't going to lower the price or offers of Parsons. Chaz didn't like that statement both when he was alive and when he was dead. Go figure

[Rondo2287]

Im looking to package 12, 16 and Koufos for a high quality starter.  Koufos will be a starter wherever he signs next year and is still in his mid 20's. 

[yall hate]

I'm late to the party, but I'll just chime in, that I personally thought the flutter feed was funny.  I don't think it had the ability to influence anyones views on THEIR OWN players.  I don't think what someone anonymously posts, in (what I saw as mostly) a joking manner should be taken to heart by anyone in the league.

Someone posted because Kyrie got injured, I was looking to move Griffin. I then proceeded to get ****ty Griffin offers from about 6 members of the league. So (a) people were looking at it, (b) it was increasing trade activity (and if league members offered a fair (or even close to fair) price, maybe Griffin would have been traded.

It's just not that big of a deal.  And further, since certain owners in this thread became obsessed with the flutter feed and commenting, there have been more and more posts there then ever before.  Or at least that's how it seems from my perspective. 

Fantasy leagues that have no commentary and merely passive members are not fun.  They're boring.  It seems like that is what people want here.

Edit: And for the record, that is just my opinion. Others can, and obviously do have different opinions.  And that's okay.  But for everyone coming out and bashing the feed, I actually think it was a pretty fun and clever addition.
