This is crazy. I look at a league, and in giant letters I see: INFLATIONI mean it's staring me right in the face. What am I supposed to do? Look away? And everytime I bring that to the attention of you and the lollipop guild, it gets dismissed. I don't understand why. Who is the one that needs to grow up again?

Who is the one that needs to grow up again? You. If you can't chuckle at the lollipop guild. It's a real shame and a sign of your lack of maturity that you have to resort to personal insults rooted in 1930's cinema.

I have idea for inflation, instead of camping your own players, why don't we use GM cash for deducting skills of the opponent team players? that would be fun!

Now hold on sapular you really think you're being fair right now? Because I was told about this majestic league. So I clicked the link, and I saw a league that was neck deep in inflation. I saw a league where the 21st ranked offense was scoring 122 PPG. I saw a league where 5 teams were averaging 130+ PPG. Guess what happened next? I was told thats "irrelevant". So I'm shown proof. Then I'm told to ignore the proof. And now I'm blamed for ignoring proof. Well what the fuck man? So don't ignore the proof? OK. Well what I see today. Same with what I saw yesterday. Is a league that got rid of shot blocking, and now nobody can play fucking defense. And everbody can score a million points. That's the proof I'm looking at. I'm looking at a sillyass league, that you three stooges are presenting as the Gold Star of simulation. But the truth is, that league kinda sucks. You're being purposefully obtuse, which is par for the course. The link that was presented was 25 seasons deep, inflation happens in every FBB league, which you're aware of. That league also upgraded players totally differently, allowing +30 to be added to every player. Scoring inflation and toning down shot blocking are not mutually exclusive, the example provided just doesn't account for inflation protection. Your usage of "three stooges" is cute, but as seems to be a recurring theme, you're ignoring information that doesn't help you or give you an advantage. Your team currently has 4 of the top 7 highest shot blocking players in the league, of course you don't want shot blocking to go to the wayside. Your team has 3 of the best/most efficient guards in the league, of course you don't want post players to become efficient scorers. Any change proposed that goes against your many years of experience in this league that might challenge your overall dominance is met with resistance. You can say that league kinda sucks all you want, it's a subjective opinion, but that league had 29 active members for the better part of 11 years, over 6 iterations, and was constantly active in shout, trading, and everything else. This league has at best like 10 active members and another 6-7 who passively run their teams with no real direction. Congratulations, you are the king of a castle who's walls are threatened to be stormed once every....century? Outside of the Raptors, 76ers, and T-Wolves, who else here is consistently a direct threat to the Knicks? Saying that league sucks might in fact be a stones and glass house situation. I enjoyed that league, and I enjoy this league, and I will continue to present new ideas no matter the amount of pushback. See? All I had to do is take a stick, and poke at the Hornets nest about 4-5 times. And the true intention reveals itself. Everytime you're thinking about this league. You're thinking about me.

If that's your take away from what I posted that is your choice. Every time I think about this league, I think about who the reigning champion is, me. I came, I saw, I conquered. In short order, may I add. I know how to play this game, I know what works and what doesn't. I am not worried about you what so ever. It's abundantly clear you also know what works, good for you, I'd hope you'd have learned after being a member and having played FBB for over a decade. Remember, I am not the one running from any type of change and attacking it as if it's a threat to my dominance.

Let me get you a Flintstones bandaid. The Flintstones endorsed vitamins primarily, not bandages. Also, the Flintstones had a short stint licensed to Curad, a bandage company, not bandaid brand. Swing and a miss.

That's a contradiction.

That you insinuate you're the bad guy is of your own accord. Well nerfing the Dleague would equal a drastic change to the league. Correct? Just like my suggestion would be a drastic change to the league. A change that would align closer to your way thinking. But you can't even admit that. Instead you wanna personalize the conversation. Make it all about the Knicks. Because you're too scared to admit you agree with me. Thays funny.

I don't have very strong opinions about the things being discussed in this thread. I think you're a bunch of nerds. I would like to warn you though that you have entered the FDA vortex. This is when you're in an argument with FDA that can never end as he continues to dig into facts/opinions and micro-facts/micro-opinions. These are arguments that can never end as they branch out through the confines of time and space, until you finally let him have the last word.

How could you have an opinion?

This post doesn't make any sense. Half of my "article" if about changing the D League. You posted something that is similar previously that you quoted here. Excellent, we most certainly agree on that point, any simple mind can come to that conclusion. Is it something that needs to be more explicitly stated?

Well if that's simple, then why you do have to take the petty "oh you just wanna change Dleague so nobody else can exploit it" angle? That's wasn't very professor-like of you. It kinda made you look like a bitch actually.

It kinda made you look like a bitch actually. Sometimes the truth hurts. Your motivations are very thinly veiled to those paying attention. Also, the moral authority with another example of name calling is very unbecoming. It's a real shame that this is the way you keep choosing to welcome a newer, active member of the league.
