Man FOH, lol. I can't have an opinion like the rest of you? And you can't even admit you tanked when I admit I traded off AD and tanked but I took on bad contracts and built a bad team for 1 season to maximize my return. I took on Frank's nearly $200 so I got more draft picks then I could have and dealt with that contract.

I acquired Payton in a deal and was already in trade talks and dealt him a week later and wasn't going to get him hurt.

And benched RJ and Porter when? If you suggesting when I had 50 wins with almost an all rookie team and MPJ was a 30 minute super 6th man because I had beast Wiseman and Robert William and coached my ass off. Thank you for recognizing that.

You being a crazy hypocrite that’s all I’m pointing out. I been said I tanked for a month but still tried to win the rest of the season. Stop capping like you wasn’t trying to tank again the next season. I even approached you about that and you literally said you not even denying it. And it backfired when Wiseman had an anomaly of a year. Like you not fooling anyone when you admitted it to me yourself :lol:

To say you didn’t want Payton to get injured is just saying you didn’t want him to get you extra wins lmao

Y’all just look weird for trying to shame fat when y’all just as guilty.

My opinion though. If fat had Embiid and a bunch of scrubs, I could kind of understand. But Embiid, Fox, Conley and Caleb Martin is a solid starting lineup.

I don’t think it’s so much about sitting players and tanking but WHO you’re sitting.

But do you Fat, the East don’t have to face Embiid this year so we’re chilling

Of course I didn't expect to win with an all rookie lineup. But I played everyone and when I had a surprise start to the year I traded 1st rounders to acquire RW and RJ to compete that year.

And if Payton got hurt I wouldn't of been able to trade him. It was like a couple games worth.

If you want to compare that to sitting a big named player for half a season so be it. It is what it is.

There is no rule against what anyone is doing I never said they can or can't do anything. I just have an opinion if you think I'm being a hypocrite because I sat Elfrid Payton down 2-3 games during a season before trading him...to a team playing a center at PG or sitting a superstar half a year then so be it. I see a clear difference.

this is where i am. it's a fantasy game for fun. you build a team the way you want.

only problem i would have is if we see some stupid, completely lopsided trade being done due to spite for another GM.


except me. i will gladly take any lopsided trade coming my way

Personally I think everyone should have the freedom to do with their team what they want.

If a GM is able to acquire Star talent while still keeping their draft pick to be able to still tank then credit to them

My guy you benched RJ and Porter for the likes of a rookie Devin Vassell and Robert Williams. You was still trying to tank on the low and didn't even deny it to me. It all just backfired for you. :lol:

Considering you traded AD and Brown for weak packages to tank shamelessly, benched a SIM beast like Elfrid Payton who was playing like a damn near MVP candidate, benched Porter and RJ to come off the bench for much worse starters yeah I think you're being a massive hypocrite to me. It just ain't fair at all to Fat. Yall too worried about what other teams doing when yall pulled the same schit. It just looks weak to me.

Do whatever it takes to tank.
Do whatever it takes to win.
Know the rewards and consequences of both.
Win or lose.
Just have direction.
Just have a vision.

Drink water, complain less and enjoy this beautiful game that Bish and all of us have spent countless hours on making great.

With all that said, trash talk is a part of the sport. You gotta have thick skin to deal with controversy. Either let it make you or break you. 8-)

I mean a lot of my categories will be low. Which affects money in the off-season which affects the ability to get better.

But all people see is “you sitting embiid to tank” as if I’m not taking hits elsewhere even me losing has a draw back.

But carry on
