re: TDBBL Week 15: Karma 6.5 back with two matchups left....

I think he will do a 1 year deal and then they will both hit f/a 2 years from now.

will now do a 2-1 if anyone's interested. consolidating keepers. good for those who need depth.

Did I make Jake's arse quit on one night?

First playoff team in TDBBL history to sellout.

there was a year either early in your tenure or right before you joined where i could have made the playoffs but sold out

you got too good + duncan and tyreke may be out multiple weeks. nobes is going to overtake me, so i will be in the bottom half of the bracket

and i mean i did get a top 5 player so it's not like i just got picks or something.

You guys try to keep up. ...i am making block busters over here

Who do you have available chonkus?

can't believe playoffs teams bailing

i think we need some sort of overhaul.
we're in the middle of this terrible cycle that encourages people to compete for next year rather than the current. and its repercussions range from people quitting ridiculously early in the season to finally this.

i'm willing to drop all of my picks this year and consider starting over if we can come to a more long term solution about how to keep this league fun and competitive. we've had a two or three horse race all year. with the way the picks are distributed, we're likely to have a three horse horse race again next year (myself included). we go through this every year.

once again, i'm the one most likely to benefit from proceeding with the status quo. i said this ahead of my championship season as well.

i think the system is flawed and should be revamped. we're going on three years of the "tank and bank" strategy being rewarded.

proposals:

1) no future pick trading
2) league-wide re-draft (all keepers reassigned)
3) reduction of number of keepers down to 3? 1? none? encourages more turnover.
4) quitter tax: you can trade for next year's picks, but each pick you accumulate you chip in _____ dollars to THIS year's prize.
5) combination of any of the above.

Yea. It'd be interesting to look back and see how many champions won the year after selling out.

It's not impossible to compete year to year. Rondo, knat and I seem to be in the playoffs year to year. This will be the 4th year in last 5 I'll cash, but only had dominate teams the year after a rebuild.

I'd like some reform, have suggested it since joining the league. It just won't get much traction.
