Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Announcement on page 59
Thanks to all who have reached out. I am doing well. Had a few weeks dealing with an issue with my youngest daughter. Multiple trips into the city to the hospital but all things seem to be in a better place now. But I had to step away from the board for awhile to deal with this and a few other things. I am still here though and should be able to continue although FA may need to be modified (maybe just not run in consecutive days). I will try and figure something out in the next few weeks so we can have our rosters set before the real NBA season kicks off.
My work schedule is pretty intense now since I took some time off over the last month. As soon as I know when I have some time to run FA I will make an announcement. I will try and give people as much notice as possible but teams will need to be as flexible as they can due to the time constraints we will be facing.

Thanks for checking in. Best to your family and we'll be here when you're ready.
Maybe we should quote all managers to that message so we don't lose anyone. I'm traveling but will if someone else hasn't when I get a chunk of time.
