Got exactly two votes for "Executive of the Year". This is your award, if we don't get at least half the league to vote then I don't think there is much point in continuing this.

Damn guys, this is a sorry ass voter turnout. I got mine in the first day it was announced but collectively we gotta do better.

Don’t want the interest in this league to wane. We’re tryna hit the 9-season mark (and hopefully hit the decade milestone as well, next).

It starts with guys taking the small things for granted (like this award) and often bleeds over to larger matters. Let’s keep the activity levels worth bish’s time and efforts.

Just sent it in. Are you okay with giving an extension? I think the Knicks playoff trauma took up a lot of attention...definitely affected me these past few weeks

Up to nine votes now...understanding the focus that the Knicks run took, teams can vote for EOY through 6/4.

Thanks man! Hell of a job getting through the really tough eastern conference this year. Really amassed some great talent and we battled for 6 games....certainly didn't want to go back to DET for game 7 and looks like Joker made sure that wasn't going to happen.

I'm sure we will be meeting down the road again sometime soon.
