GM Challenge Returns (PM me to be added to waiting list)

JSM · Last edited by JSM on Fri May 16, 2008 11:02 am; edited 2 times in total

The sign up period has ended, but if you still are interested in playing PM me and I will put you on the waiting list. PLEASE PUT "WAITING LIST" IN THE TITLE BECAUSE MY INBOX IS GOING TO BE FLOODED FOR THE NEXT MONTH 1/2. Unfortunately every year we lose a couple good men out there. Playing in the GM Challenge? Yes, with the GM Challenge. You lose good men to trades, unruly fans, and prior commitments in life. L... look, I don't want to talk about it, I'm sorry.

_____________________________________________________
GM Challenge is back for year number 3.

I’ll keep this as short and sweet as possible…

-Only one league this year. Like last year, we'll only be running one league. Two leagues was a circus. At some point and time I could envision a scenario in which we could get back to two leagues, since we will have a handful of members with knowledge of how this game runs (since my co-host has varied in each year's contest). But that would depend on activity, interest, and is something that we are at least two-three years away from.

-Those interested will be selected based on a few points: A) their grade on the CBA quiz. B) their activity (based on activity on the board but more importantly their activity in the prior GMCs). C) If it's borderline or if this is your first time playing, you're really going to have to sell me on why you should be competing this year.

-If you are interesting in joining the GMC (General Manager Challenge) this summer, either drop me a PM or let me know in this thread.

-The GM Challenge will tip-off on the 20th, after the NBA draft lottery. GMs will be assigned to team in the same random manner--the 'ole folded names in the hat routine.

-Keep checking this forum throughout the week because I will be posting more goodies for the GMs. This thread was just to give everyone a head’s up on when the GM Challenge will start rolling.

I definitely want in again. I honestly don't remember what I did last year in the league, but I remember my first year I had the Pistons, and Ben wouldn't resign with me. I turned them into

Raymond Felton/Chris Duhon
Andre Iguodala/Sasha Vujacic/Jumaine Jones
Josh Smith/Grant Hill/Nick Caner-Medley
Ike Diogu/Kwame Brown/Ronny Turiaf
Nenad Krstic/Chris Mihm/Zeljko Rebraca

At that time I had a great young core and expiring contracts of Grant Hill ($17mil) and a few others.

I am honored that JSM PMed me asking if I was interested in doing this again, I truly am. But, as much as I would love to do this again, because believe me generally this game is indeed a blast, I have decided to retire from this game or at least go on hiatus. One thing about this game is that it is quite time consuming and time is something I really don't have much of these days. The only way I would like to be involved is by possibly being an assistant GM or possibly a role as an adviser. I did make it through a couple of cuts in the first year of this game.

Since would indeed consider either an assistant GM position or adviser role here is what I turned my teams into.

YEAR 1:
