1fastdoc Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 This just pisses me off. I set the line up based on Yahoo best predictions and now I have to try to find an owner. The team is decent but last year he slacked (8-7)and i think it auto drafted. He's got Kupp, Kamara, Kelce, Godwin, Evans, Tua, Ryan, Winston... We all know each other at least slightly. Our buy in is 200 and so far no takers. Do I reduce the buy in for a new guy? Hold firm at 200? I hate to reduce it when they could be a contender.

millworkguy Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Wow that sucks, personally owners need to pay prior to the draft, I think it's really hard now. Can you agree to set his lineup by best possible (or best ball) and just roll without them for the year, just need everyone to agree to the same set of requirements going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 That's a steep buy in for that team. May want to offer it at a discount with league approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinishTheDrill Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 reduced buy in followed by half winnings returned equally to all owners if he wins it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhtonn Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I will take his team. Email me the details. Is it ESPN or what? nujoeyt03@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Wow that blows, but looks like you've got a buyer. Suggestions to do reduced amount etc make sense too. Agree that getting money before the draft is the only way to go, even among friends. We had one guy dragging his feet one year and had the nerve of telling the commissioner (around week 2-3 after repeated requests) "what' the big deal". My usually calm co-commissioner gave it to the guy, "yes what is the big deal indeed, you knew about this weeks ago, be an adult and get me the money now."

This seems reasonable. We pay out the top 4 but I can do a little math if it becomes necessary. The team started out with a win and has the 4th highest point total. I'm still trying to find someone I know personally to take over the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seh0872 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 That sucks. That's a great redraft team, but a little challenging in full dynasty. Good luck finding a new owner. Real chance of winning some cash this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastdoc Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 The irony is that the owner who quit was a former sportscaster for ABC here in Nashville. He's savvy when it comes to talent and has called quite a few studs well before they rose up the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
