I can see that point. It was close between him and Randolph. However, people are making it seem like I dropped Andrew Wiggins (who somehow is my best player) for mini Greek Freak.

The bottom line is my roster is horrendous. Finishing outside of the playoffs is the same no matter where I finally end up in the standings. One thing was for certain, I'm not going to make the playoffs with the roster I had so I took a moon shot on mini Greek Freak.

The only controversy here is someone allowed their team to get this bad? I'd argue there is more evidence that this guy was colluding with someone to throw the league more than me trying to upset the balance of it.

He was dropped during the draft the year he was poised to start. He had done just as much as Winslow at that point.

Ariza is the only head scratcher because McCain likely could have gotten something for him but it would have been later in the season. He's on his last legs and went from playing with the best 2 playmakers in the league to a team with no point guard. He's just a name at this point but I could see some concerns.

McCain offered me a shite trade for Tatum earlier. He's not trying to give guys away. I just think his TDFL questions (not his activity) have these guys questioning his motives. He's always been a great dynasty owner. Just unconventional.

A young thon maker was dropped in tdbbl. I claimed him. What's the difference here? Winslow hasn't done anything to cause an uproar. There have been better players dropped in this league. CJ McCollum says hello.


Then you should be happy you have such a terrible owner like myself in the league to give you a better chance at winning.

I think my track record in fantasy sports speaks for itself. I'm not boasting, but it's not as if I'm clueless. Again, I didn't drop Andrew Wiggins for mini Greek Freak. We are talking Justice Winslow and Trevor Ariza.

And my TDFL questions were just QUESTIONS. Hell, I've probably picked up for FA than anyone and I may not win a game this year.

I think you will be a good owner. Wiswguy is right though, I want to hear what the rest of the league thinks. I can't reverse the transactions.

Like I said, my only interaction with this dude has been: “my team is horrible, can I trade players for auction money next season?”

If you vouch, Port, I’ll go with.

But not excited about it at all.

Ya, that's fine.

I'm not asking anyone to agree that they would do what I do, I'm only asking that they see my POV. These things aren't always black and white and aren't done in a vacuum. My team is marginally better than a middle school team and I'm made a move out of desperation.

Is this what Brett Kavanaugh feels like?

MWG,

It's a question, not an action. I'm thinking outside of the box.

Keep in mind, I wouldn't have been asking that if my team wasn't on the road to 0 - 12. Honestly, I think its bad ownership NOT to ask that question.

I would understand your point if my team had a remote chance of recovering. My top 2 players have been injured and, my next 2 are significantly playing below expectations, and I'm on my 4th QB already.

By the time I get my top 2 players back, it will likely be week 6. Again, ITS A QUESTION.

I'm not clear what manning up has to do with anything. I'm sure I've picked up more FA than most owners.

And this is why I was over being commissioner of this.

Shitty moves by RMCC. But guys like this are dropped all the time.

Can argue Zbo is equal to Ariza and he was on the wire.

There's 100 Winslow's on the wire everyday. we

He should have put them OTB.

I don’t like the idea of 21 making trades (albeit meh trades in people’s minds ), and waking up one morning and saying ,”I’m done in this league.” He knew he was probably looking to get out. Those trades should have never happened.

fwiw, i vote to keep rmcc in. i might not be around much tomorrow so that's my vote.

primarily because i think we would be hardpressed to find someone to take that team over.

Remember when I dropped CJ, I do. That sucked. Thanks for peeling the scab off of that wound again.

21 leaving this league is shady AF. Shouldn't have happened in first place.

New owner agrees to take over the team as it is at that point. Can't undo prior transactions.

If people had that big of a problem with these drops, they should have raised concerns once noticed. Not 10 minutes after it processes.

I put like $10 claims in for each. That's how much I was
