2027-2028 General Manager of the Year Nominations (Due 6/28 @5pm)

[garbageman]

Rules for Nominations:(READ CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE CHANGES) Nominate yourself for General Manager of the Year OR someone else for General Manager of the Year that you feel was outstanding and exemplary. You are limited to ONE nomination.

This year there will be a GMOTY award AND a COTY award. Therefore you must consider different things when nominating for these two awards. For this award you are only to judge based on the regular season and results of said regular season(Playoff seedings). You should not allow the post-season to sway your judgement in any way when making a GMOTY nomination. The cultivation of a team's talent boils down to smart management in the front office. From drafting to making good trades to free agency, managing a roster’s skill-set, and managing a salary cap is not an easy job. Though the PBSL is mostly cyclical in terms of the power balance, the best general managers are able to keep their teams in the playoff picture year in and year out through proper management of their salary cap situation and close monitoring of how their team is built and fit together. But maybe some GM was able to completely flip a team, get out of the tax, and avoid a total rebuild while still being competitive. Whoever you feel deserves a nod, just make sure to break down why they deserve it.

So the body of work you should evaluate for this award is from Draft Day to the last day of the regular season. Please break down why your nomination fits this bill and why your nomination deserves this award.

As always there will NOT be any prodding of other GMs or any general bitchassness in these threads. It will be deleted upon discovery.

Gonna nominate myself, mainly because I didn't pull a Quail. I reassembled the team that got beat down by the Sixers in the previous season. Kept Paugh, Joff Knecht and added depth like Daniel West to really make my squad one of the deeps and most well rounded in the league with a promising core going forward

Not going to let Doug just win all these awards by default...and this isn't a your back/my back situation, but I'm going to go with the xist2inspire from the Washington Wizards.

I know the reshuffle made it hard to compare this season's records with the previous season's, but I believe that xist made the most significant roster moves that ended up improving his win total. While his team was a little backcourt heavy, he still managed to field a deep, talented roster, headlined by the coup of signing Phil Brooks, James Shaffer, and Damion Williams.

He was able to bring back the right players in JR Johnson and Billy Kingston, and the players he let walk (Robert Oxford and Giannis Antetokounmpo) were both wise decisions. The Wizards tied for the 2nd best record in the Omega Conference, bested only by division rival and the eventual champion, the Bucks.

I expect them to be just as competitive next season.
