I’m sorry my religious fanaticism wasn’t good enough to convert these animals @ashes
You are doing great imo. These be the cawing of the loud minority. I am 100% blindly faithful to what you’ve done cuz you’ve been great

We are fickle creatures. I’m pretty sure that’s like slide 4 of religions arc being “the creations question and disappoint their creator”

this break from normalcy has me more engaged than i've been in a long time. pumped to see what else you have planned. not being able to give some booty ndl dude +3 strength is a sacrifice i think people should be able to stomach. also think it's pretty unfair to ashes to whine about any idea he's clearly put a lot of thought/work into considering all he's done to engineer this whole hobby for us. and i am definitely not saying this to buy markelle fultz a few more seasons of healthy shoulders

Loser: Being…almost good?
The Clippers, Warriors, Cavs and Bulls get to participate in the Big Baller playoffs…which is to say, they won’t have a real opportunity for upgrades / rewards. Suck it!!

Nothing like new league ownership to keep the middle stuck in the middle even harder #justiceforashes #IRLLaVar>FakeLaVar

Didn’t mean any harm, simply frustrated with my end of the season. If everyone else is allowed to complain on the boards then I will do so too lol

Honestly, it should go without saying, but anyone believing I’d do anything but reward everyone really hasn’t been paying attention these past few years.

This is something I planned since the inception of the league, with zero input from anyone. I planned this before even the Kyrie stip, which was another one of my earlier ideas.

The idea was to offer a creative, fun experience overall for everyone under the guise of the shitty real life time COVID represented. There were so many things I had planned for this “offseason” and the following 2020-2021 season that I thought would serve to give us not only enjoyment but a nice break from the standard mold.

To see things like threats of quitting, actually quitting, moaning about rewards, thinking I’d actually toss out an entire core component of SLN (the NDL), etc etc is just so disheartening. I honestly felt like I’d earned a level of trust to do something fun like this, something I worked really hard on and was going to take an immense amount of work to do.

I fear I missed my target audience

man this is tough to read. i have been loving this new BBL (and not the surgery) !!

If there’s one thing that has been consistent about how the league has run since its inception, it’s that you’ve put in a TON of extra time, energy, and creative thinking into making the league more interesting, more unpredictable, and flat out better than any other leagues out there. I think that when GMs feel frustrated, it’s when that unpredictability (which makes the league unique) happens to go against the grain of individual team situations (I.e. everyone gets a freebie but you have to use it on a scrub, etc.)

I think I speak for all the curmudgeons when I say that we wholeheartedly trust your direction (I don’t think there’s been a small council PM in like almost 2 calendar years) and know for an undeniable fact that that unpredictability and creativity not only give the league energy and make it more enjoyable, but also provide variety and give the league longevity too.

TL;DR you DEFINITELY have our trust!
