I have no problem with the lottery its all good. My issue is when you 'get screwed' in the lottery, when you werent tanking, you just stunk.....how exactly are you supposed to reverse that? When you need money to win games and you need to win games to make money?

All the while my owner slashes my money for FAs (start of the offseason i had 5 million now i am down to 2.5 ish, no idea why)

all that said, sure there have been some bad signings, trades etc etc...but it seems almost impossible to recover

I love the league and truly appreciate the current and past commishes for all their time and hard work so please don't take it the wrong way. just annoying.

I agree with AJ, not sure the lottery is good for the league. We don’t seem to have the over intentional tanking owners that we used to

Maybe not intentionally but somewhat unintentionally based on activity is a guess but would defer to Ryan for export tracking confirmation.

I dont necessarily agree. I check my team daily but don't always need to export

True and I agree there.

One of the factors would be what we talked about previously is sitting on $100million in cash and never spending as another facet. I dont think that happens often though.

I personally like the lottery but only because it hasn't screwed me yet and its entertainment value and posts. :)
