Simulated Basketball and Assorted Ridiculousness
https://pbsl.ijbl.net/
In all honesty, I missed the distraction. I couldn't handle risking it with my final few blocks of classes, and that was my main reason for ducking out before. Over a two year period, I lost the love of the game due to many, many, many competing priorities. A newborn. School. A new job. All of these things pulled me away from a game and group of comrades which I loved so much.Inner_GI wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:24 am Why?
It's now a standard that when you trade away the MVP you take on a needless player and contract and PAY 10 points for the other team to "absorb" that MVP contract.
In all honesty, I haven't gotten a chance to dive into the roster yet. I am hoping to get that opportunity tonight. I hope it is as described. Growing a young team in a rebuild is way more fun that growing an old/expensive team in a rebuild. I'm not sure how far off we are yet. Going to be a lot more losses in the future, but hoping I can find that 90s grove again.NOLa. wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:30 am How do you feel about the Lakers youth prospects and the talent that’s been accumulating? Does it remind you of the Jazz who have stockpiled and have been blessed by good TCs with their young guys?
Points are more valuable now and are no longer considered toss-ins for trades. With luxury tax and trainings, the league has picked up on the fact that a healthy bank balance is key to sustaining a winning team.

Update: As you can see from post 1, the salt levels are the same.
Double update: Doug is still as thirsty as ever

We have MLE now. And tax threshold is now a lot higher than before.

When a strong GM like myself steps down to make way for weaker GMs to take over in his place, things like this happen. It is the nature of the game. People don't realize the treasure that future hall-of-famers are until they ship them out of town for nothing. That is when those weaker GMs disappear. I'd look at those LA-Giannis fans for this mysterious disappearance first and foremost. Not a smart move.garbageman wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:54 am What are your thoughts on the Giannis trade that was made in your absence?
We have MLE Contracts now, which are slightly complicated to figure out, but ultimately can help push a competing team over the edge.
If you want to trade back, I accept.TrayWithAnA wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 2:23 pmWhen a strong GM like myself steps down to make way for weaker GMs to take over in his place, things like this happen.

Congrats on all of your recent accomplishments, Tray. That sounds like a fantastic past 2 years.TrayWithAnA wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 2:16 pmIn all honesty, I missed the distraction.

A lot of those things have gotten better. The newborn is now a 2-year old. I graduated last month with my MBA. The new job has turned into two other new jobs. This last one has an office which makes it easier to participate.
So to answer your question, I am back because I am BACK. I hope to carve out some time to post and enjoy what made this so much fun before.
I can see salt from a mile away. Good to be back buddy!!Inner_GI wrote: Fri Jun 08, 2018 2:30 pmCongrats on all of your recent accomplishments, Tray.

P.S. I only posted "why?" to take a shot at a certain GM bending over a certain new GM.
Glad you are back.
It was you.

We’re keeping our eye on Steve Smith’s offspring. Possibly contemplating cloning in the next draft. Believe me, I have DNA samples saved away in the personal TWA safe.Soundwave wrote:Steve Smith ain't walking through that door.
Points? For doing stuff in the league? WHAT?! When did we add this to the game?ballsohard wrote:Tray when you finish w this ama I’ll award points!Soundwave wrote:Steve Smith ain't walking through that door.
