#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

NEW RULE FOR THREADS: You are allowed to make one post about yourself (edits of your original post will be allowed) or another GM. There will NOT be any goading or attacking other candidates to create nonsense drama like previous years. Any additional BS posted in threads will be deleted. The campaigning period officially ends when the sim occurs.

Campaigning begins now until midnight Friday. Voting period starts Saturday when ballots are sent out and will be due by 8PM on Monday 8/29. No exceptions

Please consider voting for me, aburns211, as GM of the year:

• Current record of 59-18
  2nd best record in the entire league
  Trade for Elton Brand to solidify PF position
  Key Signings of Jarvis Hayes and Francisco Garcia
  Team is built to win now and in the future

• Made a move for some guy named TMac
  Signed quality off season cheap depth signings
  As of this psot, #1 seed in the east
  In position for back to back Atlantic titles
  Best reason is - NOT CHAD

Just here because we need a third candidate who isn't a write-in. We'll count up my first place votes and see if #DGL.

I'll nominate myself.

This offseason I made moves to compete for the division title and for a deeper run in the playoffs. Free Agency went off exactly as planned. It all started with making the tough call on declining Nate Robinson's max contract. It wasn't a decision that was made based on talent alone, but on fit and impact. Nate, at that price, wouldn't let me transform this team into a team capable of making a push in the playoffs. I needed defense and players willing to sit backseat to the Melo and SJax show. So, I brought in Varejao, who still has his best years ahead via a low risk trade, signed Kevin Garnett for a solid and reliable presence at the PF position that doomed me in last year's playoffs, and brought back Earl Watson to give me a consistent solid, if unspectacular, PG. Every move was made to win now, but I didn't sacrifice any major future assets.

Fun Facts:

1. Knicks are a 50 win team for the first time since 1996
2. Improved record by 8 games (without final sim of the season. 46 wins in 2008)
3. Top 10 Offense and Defense for the first time since 1996

League Ranking Changes:

1. Points: from 14th in the league to 9th
2. Points Allowed: from 15th in the league to 8th
3. Assists: from 8th in the league to 5th
4. Steals: from 6th in the league to 1st
5. Blocks: from 27th in the league to 16th
6. Fouls: from 23rd in the league to 12th
7. FG%: from 13th in the league to 8th
8. PPS: from 10th in the league to 6th

The team took a big leap this year in all the right areas. Consider Inner_GI for GMOY.

I'll put my name in the hat.
