point guard slot is because hoff purposely came after me and made a post advising all of the other gms to do so

with some obvious adjustments because we are dealing with a computer...
Like I said its an optics thing. You are making your choices and you know my feelings and I have left you alone because frankly you are going to do you whether I disagree or not. Just know its not a "you" thing people were called out for it in year one well before you came into BAF. So you just gotta live with it if you are going to play the game that way.
To be honest the hoffa excuse seems weak to me. He irks people, for you to change a lineup based on him, means he gets more ammo for you years down the road if you ever do get good people will call it illegitimate. Again just telling you how it look from the outside.

Oh I know thats not a "you" thing but the very people who have called me out for "tanking" have tanked themselves or in "hoffs
case has not only "tanked" but have done other "things" against the game -if there is such a thing...

I cant help you there- its no excuse it was a direct response to hoffs attack-period.

Doesnt matter what hoff says- he has committed worse crimes then he claims anyone has- I dont play this game for
someone who stands by an argument thats hypocritical.
every gm who has come at me regarding "tanking" has tanked in one form or another- and in my book and many other gms who have agreed with this view- it makes no sense...what did some say it was?? tanking morality I think
It's not tanking morality. If you don't see a difference in trading for draft capital and trading for young pieces for more of a long term view and actually playing a 7'6 guy at PG to intentially throw games. Well then I cant help you there. I see a clear distinction with someone playing a long game in terms of building for the future and someone purposely playing guys out of position. The game is ideally played as close to real life as possible.
There are young teams in the NBA. Look at DET killian hayes started for them and he clearly wasn't a better player than Derrick Rose. But he started because DET is playing the long game so there is reasoning for it. You don't see anyone playing a center at PG. That is the difference. One is common in the NBA the other never happens. There in lies the clear distinction IMO.
