That's it. Stop letting Hoffa insult your intelligence. He is gassing y'all up to splurge so he has less suitors for Siakam next year and less competition in trades.

This is the same dude bragging all day every day about his payroll. Yet he projects for YOU to spend all your cap space on players. Fast forward to the future and he will be trolling you and your overpaid player he coerced you into bidding for, the same way he keeps trying to troll Mecca.

If you can't see through the bull, you gullible af.

:lol:

re the bold:

What suitors? :lol: Hoff is not even a suitor...
I will have $800 in space- Siakam is mine--Hoff should just move on :lol:

Also, he won't pay for a #1.

That said, if Lowry gets under $100 I'm firing myself.


He won't. There are just too many good PG's available for that to happen. Lowry has pedestrian SIM stats, is old, and not the most efficient. And contrary to what hot air hoff says, not a lot of teams need a starting PG. People are better served spending on a more premium position devoid of top line talent. Like a good 3/D wing or a good C.

I could easily argue Covington or Ibaka are much more valuable at this point than Lowry in projected salary figures.

Remember how you put Covington on PG Bron? Well that's the value of a guy like RoCo come playoff time. Lowry can't do that. He is locked in at the 1 and would be exploited.

But if someone insists on topping triple-digits on Lowry, by all means do so. Since that's a Hoffa free agent.

Say what you want about Hoffa, but the man is putting in work with the writeups, that doesn't go unnoticed. Sure they might be glorified fluff pieces, he might be trying to sway dollars this way, but he is doing writeups. Kudos to him for that.

I mean Spencer's scouting is out there for anyone, not like it's hard to find. The only question is do you agree with his assessments? Not to mention scouting is still generally a crap shoot for most.

Nope. I don't respect it. They are being done with an ulterior motive. And besides, I'm not a GM that needs guidance or anything outlined for me. So I don't find much value in it. I do my own homework.

At the very least his vids give you a clear look at what certain players excel at and/or lack. The best part of BAF is the scouting for me. It makes the whole league more entertaining to watch IRL too.
