I'm not lucky for getting Roy at all. The FAs maybe, but I won 22 games this year. I'm allowed to jump to the top pick.

If I get a FA, that'll be kind of ridiculous, but me losing Baron eliminates this idea that I have absurd luck. I lost a superstar to FA. Has anyone else? I don't think so. Blue didn't lose Rip, he idiotically didn't offer him the full max. I 7 year maxed Baron and lost him.

Getting 2 of the big FA's in the first off-season, then lending RIP a year or two later, and then jumping from 3 to 1...hmm, I'd PROBABLY call that luck regardless.

I'm not joking when I say I expect to lose Yao to Mark. And believe me, I'm gonna be bitching like a 3 year old over the hometown thing if I do. I never remember Spence asking about hometowns, and I certainly would have been against it, because since it appears to be randomized, it is pretty unfair.

I never remember Spence asking about hometowns, and I certainly would have been against it, because since it appears to be randomized, it is pretty unfair. I don't really get it. I mean its unfair to everyone equally. Maybe only trade for people that only have Indiana as a hometown? Maybe you shouldn't have kept Yao if you were so worried about him signing with NJ? I just think its an even playing field so there is no reason for you to be upset at the process.

Can't believe your arguing about the hometown thing Nova. It's done at complete random! Jesus.

Not really. Its much more unfair to people who have big name FA's a la Yao, Arenas, etc. then people who have say, Marcus Banks as an FA or something. Plus, looking around, not every player has a hometown - it seems pretty random.
Trading for people who only have Indy? Seriously?
I did shop Yao around earlier in the year, but the offers I was getting were pretty bad, and the one team that could have gotten him didn't want to do the deal I offered.
I don't think its an even playing field at all, just by pure luck due to the hometown thing, Mark might get Yao, and if it happens, I'm gonna be pissed, because my franchise's future goes down the toilet. Your taking the 24 year old MVP whose stats have increased every year and is about to be the most odminant player in the league off my team if it happens.
Now, if he signs with another team, then I'll accept it as just FBB being FBB, but if I lose him to NJ, I'm gonna be really irked.
Is it childish? Maybe, but it's how I feel, and if it happens, then I'm gonna be really bitter.

I'm not saying to take his hometown off, I'm saying either every player in the league should have it, or no one should have it.

I'm not trying to be a bitch, and it's probably how I'm coming off, so I apologize, I'm just annoyed by it, because it's happened to me before in other leagues.
Mark, I want you to offer for Yao. I don't want people to not offer for him just because I'm annoyed by it.
My main problem isn't Yao having it, its certain players having it and certain others not having it.

Yeah Nova. Your argument that it's unfair for some players to have it and others not to have it is rediculous too because that also is totally at random.

Yeah yeah, I'm an immature bitch. I'd be thinking the same thing if I was reading my comments from your point of view too.
Spence, don't change Yao's hometown - I just wanted to make a point that I think it should be league-wide or not at all, basically, everyone should have it or no one should have it. That's all.

I do apologize for coming off as such a tool, I'm just annoyed by the prospect of losing Yao. I basically tailored my team around him, so to lose him would really piss me off.
Fair enough, and that's what bugs me, some players have it and others dont, nothing we can do about it, but it does bug me.
