I mean it would be hysterical if the Lakers just dropped a bombshell and made the first overall pick during all of this.

[Slicin N Dicin]

Am I really the only one who doesn't really give a chit? Its a game, and almost everyone knows not to take him seriously I would hope.

I would find it interesting/amusing if we can see the current team with the highest bid, I know we'd never do that but I wouldn't mind

And I have mook, Dinwiddie, and horford so I do have some skin in this conversation

You also take sabbaticals and contemplated leaving fairly recently. I'm in this for the long haul. Some people don't care for certain reasons. Others care for certain reasons.

But at the end of the day, right is right and wrong is wrong. Even if you don't care or if the fuggery impacts you directly or not. Is it productive for the league? Is it operating in good faith.

The general sentiment is since Hoffa is active, put some time/work into the profiles, and his schtick is entertaining, and it was a long offseason then it's harmless/innocent.

But usually the unchecked dog at some point turns right around and goes straight up the leash.

People have lives outside of here my guy..personally this has not been a great year for me which is why I wasn't around. And I was only gone for this offseason really.

I made sure to check in when I can and mentioned that I only was going to leave if it wasn't fair that I was MIA and not sure what was happening personally. I still checked in. Commented and mentioned I wanted to be fair.

Don't come at my commitment to baf bro..I fux with you but cmon now

To.me this is a fun game on a board with mostly fellow knick fans. I can understand and have spoken against some fuqery in the past

The man has been rocking Anthony Edward in his sig for a while now. I think he's made the pick already

[2010]

I think I had four FAs that he's done profiles for. The way I figure it, I'd bring far more attention to the one I'd want to keep by bringing him up than by chillin'. People know his game.

Stop tryna act like your free agent(s) and mine of are of the same caliber. Gasol is lookin' like Larry Holmes, flabby and sick. Rondo is whack in the SIM. etc.

You don't gaf cuz your guys aren't difference makers like that.

Burks is coming off his best season

And again, why advertise what you're protective of?

Burke will be lucky to get a 2.5 rating. He had a fluke year playing on the barren Warriors and got his stat pad on. His efficiency was still nothing to write home on.

Hoffa been promoting my players for months. Yet you addressing me for "advertise"ment?

At this point who in the league doesn't know my free agency situation? I was quiet af minding my own business. Funny I didn't see all this participation when I kept having my players, my team, my cap situation broadcasted. Now it's I should have stayed a church mouse. FOH Cap...

[2010]

Bait is his schtick. He got some heat on him so he tryna deflect last week's issue back to you.

Its not bait a poster admitted last week they were told not to make trades with the "penis head" gm hoffa..

Still lmfao at penis head, now I picture you with the old school mushroom head haircut with the part in the middle

It was accurate af. He prolly take his Maple Leafs cap off to take a piss

He's been changing it every few days, though I can't see him taking Edwards, that boy is gonna bust hard.

Spoiler:

Or will he...

[3toheadmelo]

How so you could strategize your mock to where you see certain players fall and certain players go higher if people did not do their on due diligence and relied on your mock.

How does that benefit me? I literally have zero picks in this draft. You aren’t making any sense.. again.

Doesn't mean you cannot trade into the draft

I’m not. So your point is moot

K-Dot is a straight forward dude, he doesn't do smoke screens or anything like that and he has been public about his two choices, Edwards or Wiseman. I think he values Goga as a cornerstone center so he's going to rock with Antman to pair in the backcourt with DG.

The bust question is kind of applicable to all of these prospects really. If he busts he is still likely going to be a good enough scorer to at least become a bench player, but if he pans out, man oh man could he be a player. Dude is a bucket

Trust me, I'm not coming at your commitment. I'm merely outlining why you might not care as much as I do.

I def have a life outside of the forum. Kids, spouse, pets, business to run, all that. Even took two losses in my fam during COVID.

But for some, this place can also serve as the sanctuary from all the madness going on in the world. From social injustice, to an all time worst president.

All those factors lead to me taking this competition seriously rather than the other way around. But it's all perspective. But you stated you don't gaf so I'm stating why I do.

K-Dot is a straight forward dude

Straight forward dude? I been trying to call him all day to get my damn dominoes.

[mpharris36]

I don't think him posting on who should sign who or discussing terms publicly is something we need to make a rule about, everyone should know he's not acting in good faith there

My issue is, he's not spending his money. He's making other people spend more of their money, which does happen when people get into serious bidding wars, but his main goal isn't to sign those guys. It's the intent that bothers me.

He would be spending his money if people didn't beat his bids though. He just admitted he bids on players to bid them up and he doesn't really want them...let him get stuck with those players then

I mean, if you don't have a problem with a guy bidding up players in bad faith, I don't know what to tell you.

I might not like it and I wouldn't operate that way because I'm mostly a risk averse type guy. I would feel I would be stuck with guys I didn't want in the end.

But even you said what rule can you make to limit that approach. Teams negotiate with multiple players all the time in case you lose out on one player you have other guys in mind. I guess the downside is in real life you would think agents could sniff out "bad faith" negotiations but we don't have agents so we can't assume what is a "good faith" bid and what is a "bad faith" one.

We also don't have a max contracts in this so you run the risk of spending way to much time on a specific FA but I'm just not sure what can be done about it?

Lord knows I don't remember it other than that it happened

[mpharris36]

Here is where I stand:

Hoffa during the FA period was garbage...asking other teams to bid on players because they were too cheap.

Hoffa doing FA profiles I don't really have too much an issue with because I don't see it any different then any of us commenting on trades and who we like and who we don't like. I think activity is good for the league because we also do complain about GM's that never show up unless they are bat signaled and don't really participate in the game.

If during the free agent period hoffa is asking teams to bid on players I will 100% say that is BS and should not be allowed. I feel a FA profile is innocent and is his opinion just like me asking Melo to do a mock draft preview is innocent and opinion. But if someone during the draft says I can't believe this guy is slipping that I feel is where I would draw the line. Like no offense to someone doing a mock draft but that isn't going to change my opinion on what to do. At all and I would expect that to be the same across the entire league.

Me doing a mock draft is completely different from what Hoffa is doing though.

I agree but I wouldnt have had an issue if you did a mock and still owned the 4th pick. I'm at least consistent with that.

What I'm not sure we can do is tell him how to spend his money. If he wants to troll with his money he might piss people off but guess what he will be left a non playoff team. Because as you have shown if you target the right players and the players you want you will be better off than playing the I will bid on everyone game and left with some good value players but still not the best players. Because the simple fact is even the best players that get paid the most (maybe even overpaid a little) still dominate the league.

and he's never going to get that p*ssy footing around playing games bidding up no names. He will be left meandering wasting Morant's value years.
