#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

It's that time of season again, time for your favorite live podcasters garbageman and JNR talk about the upcoming season, tanking drama, and any questions you may have.

The show will air live at this address, where you can tune in and join the conversation: www.mixlr.com/josh-kalvelage

Leave your questions in the comments!

Talk about in serious reinstating the Shadow Council and how when the league was switched to a majoritarian system we lost decisions that were always based on the betterment of the league. And how despite all its issues, the Shadow Council always had the league in mind and didn't make decisions based on personal gains that would be #harmful in the long term as has happened so often with this new system.

talk about the ways of the tank and also why the west is so bad

Talk about how ethics play a big role in the fabric of our league. Does alpha/ beta come into play here?

If you were the best player in the NBA and i was the owner and told you to not play hard so the team could gain a top lotto pick and guarantee you a #2 guy that would put you in a better position to win a ring would you do it? Or would your strong ethics not allow you to sandbag when you know you were "cheating the system"?

Are we as a league fine with teams playing an all R/R starting lineup to tank and don’t think that would potentially harm the league if it means letting teams play the team and strategy they want?

Please discuss the pros and cons of training players with purple potential based on the suggestion posted by kucoach in the suggestion forum (tl;Dr - orange and yellow currents only until they turn green)

Why has there been so much salt since the offseason? We've had a few relatively tame seasons, but there's something in the air since the draft and I'm not the only one who has noticed.

Looks like plenty of SLOE stuff, so here's something nonSLOE:

I'm sure you guys will be covering tax penalties and "punishment" in the league. What's the most unfair punishment/penalty you've received?

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? What is the best way to utilize leftovers after turkey day?

Fire up the trade machine and give some targeted advice to some of our new owners... what trade (not involving your own team) would you suggest each of the following teams pursue? Thunder, Clippers, Warriors

We've seen an influx of proposals - not just salt - the last couple of weeks. Why do you think we are getting so many now? Which ones do you personally feel are worth considering?

In a recent H&F we discussed Lime Skittles vs. Green Apple Skittles. What things (could be food, could be other stuff) have been changed or discontinued that you wish hadn't been (for me, Lemon Ice Gatorade is an example)?

I know this is late but, can you review the three new GM’s up to this point?

We included the question, thanks Banana!

Listened in as a guest. Good show guys.

Points of clarification. I asked about the leftovers because I needed some ideas for next year. I tried turkey pot pie this year.

And I was the mentor for AngryBanana (thunder).

I definitely plan to sign up next time so I can join in the chat. Whenever that will be.

Thanks for listening! A turkey pot pie sounds interesting but may be too similar to the soup I mentioned. Sorry we are so unoriginal!

And you've done a great job with AngryBanana, who I graded the highest.

Great listen guys.

Also to Josh, didnt realize your zip was not updated. Monday i was going to a pelicans game and my SO had surgery in the morning and i've been taking care of her and working- which is my main focus.

Yesterday i updated it and for whatever reason it didn't update, but i did not know that until today. While i appreciate the frustration, please feel to write me next time like you did today. The shot taken was heard loud and clear.

I was just busting your balls more than being actually frustrated. You're doing a fantastic job so far.
