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

[Rondo2287]

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.

#27 and #33 for Blake?

Surprisingly, that is the second best offer I've received.

"BELIEVE IN BELLEVUE" Motto for Young Team's Potential.
Nairda Iksworanjow - Whacko! Sports

BELLEVUE, WA - As the young Bellevue Leprechauns struggle to find an identity, a team that has spent the past two seasons preaching patience appears to have changed their tune.  In what many see as a desperate and transparent bid to up record-low ticket sales, the team has reportedly invested 90% of their budget on marketing.   

Results of this effort appeared over the weekend as thousands of stickers featuring star prospect Bismack Biyombo suddenly littered the city streets.  In and around the city, 168 billboards were erected featuring a prominent banner.  State-wide, the walls of several hundred thousand buildings were plastered with bright orange posters encouraging the population to "Believe in Bellevue":



It is believed that the legendary street artist, Denis998, is behind the poster and banner designs.  Hot off the heels of acquiring stars Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, the young team does have some reason for optimism.  The two players will be joined next season by previously injured prospects Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker and Julius Randle as well as the top two draftees this Summer (widely believed to be Karl Anthony-Towns and Jahlil Okafor).  Still, others doubt the ceiling of injured players and raw prospects and the potential for a team where the oldest player is a mere 24 years of age.  Said GM of the team, LarBrd33, in a brief statement:  "We have the youngest and most exciting foundation in the league.  We ask you to believe in us.  Believe in Bellevue."

Leaked Commercial May Reveal Leprechaun Draft Picks 
Mark Steinberg, FSPN.com

BELLEVUE, WA - Our thoughts and prayers are with Chaz Buick and his family as he lays unconscious in critical care.  We hope the investigation into criminal wrongdoing is fast and thorough. 

Amongst the assets retrieved from Buick's bunker was a leaked upcoming Bellevue Leprechaun season ticket commercial which seemingly provides proof of their upcoming draft selections.  Draftees Karl Anthony-Towns and Jahlil Okafor are featured prominently alongside Bellevue star Bismack Biyombo in the 20 second television spot.  As reported by Nairda Iksworanjow last week, the Leprechauns have seemingly invested 90% of their budget on marketing this season.   It's not yet known if the TV spot will be scraped in in lieu of recent reports of LarBrd33's expected departure from the league and the 1 year ultimatum ownership has seemingly given him to "improve at all costs".   In a leaked league-wide Fax yesterday, the team made it known that the entire young roster was available for "immediate upgrades".

I'm confused with all the trades Birdman is getting into....that roster needed a little patience and tweaking. Rebuilding is not fun.

Humbug!

You are coming back....and you will be a part of this league like you've been all these years. You just got engaged. Enjoy the moments and time.

We will wait until then for the real Birdman to show up

[Birdman]

Kenneth Faried and Isaiah Thomas are off the market so don't bother..they are my binkie

[barefacedmonk]

For someone who doesn't participate in this thread, Pitts has done amazingly well.

Of course it helps that he inherited a top 3 team.

Still, it doesn't take way from his championship run.

Sometimes I don't even feel like you guys Believe in Bellevue.
