Didn't even make the headlines at that sale price

actually, my 19yo POS draftee made the headlines at 17k. Maybe they should alter headlines to be based on salary AND sale price. id much rather know that 200k inez sold than 19yo draftee did

I was gonna come in here and say the same things but you guys beat me to it.

I think if I weren't busy I might have bought Inez for $13k!

But your draft pick didn't make the headlines to the rest of the league either!!!

You see, the headlines you see aren't what others see. (see here...) Your personal headlines = All your own minor transactions, plus all those of anyone on your "Buddy List". Like mine currently include a $1k pickup (by someone on my list), as well a a $4k sale of a scrub draft pick. And anyone that had me on their list for a while would've seen a bunch of 40-year-olds in their headlines, lol.

But anyway, I agree that "tiny feet" should have been in the headlines for all. Ideally you'd be able to set your own headline criteria in preferences. Like show all players sold making over [$20k], etc...

I wonder how many active teams' best player is worth ~12k. It's not really a surprise that he sold for so little, but it's kind of funny.

I was really surprised when i saw the the bidding was only at $2k this morning. (you had him listed for like $900k 5 days ago, right?) If i wasn't so busy during the day I seriously would have acquired him. Not to use... but to fire! haha. Would have been such an undignified ending to his career too!!! (was willing to pay $50k+)

Inez definitely leaves some tiny shoes to fill. That 34 year old PG you paid $650k for definitely fills them. Then again, so would virtually every other human with feet over the age of 3.

But, the real question...

Now that he's out of the NBBA, what happens to the rumored Inez signature "Air Lotus" basketball shoes in pre-production? Cancelled?

Wow, those are some tiny shoes.

Not to display my ignorance too much, but which Asian culture is it where tiny feet = attractive? Japan? China? Is that still the case today or am I remembering some history course/program?

I think that was China where they did feet binding. I believe it wasn't so much that they found it attractive, I think it was also that it was harder for the women to run away. Shitty arranged marriages and harems had women running like mad or something.
