GM A Team 2010 Winter - Discussion

[Mascot]

lets get this on the go since people want to start it asap.

My Email: Arkavious989@hotmail.com

Top 5 People plus the GM from last game have first priority on a first come first served basis.
I Believe some of them may not be playing this time around so if they could say so it would be great.

However, they cannot select the team that they had last game.

TMACFORMVP - Chicago
bryant08 - Charlotte
SamBone - Miami
BlackIce - Philadelphia
MJallday59 - Orlando
rocdogg05 - LA Lakers

After that its fair game for anyone.

YOU WILL NOT GET A TEAM UNLESS YOUR EMAIL IS POSTED! (Exceptions if I Know it Only)

Commissioner - Mascot - Arkavious989@hotmail.com

If I know the person has MSN their email will be red

Rosters are set as of right now in the NBA, any Real Life Trades do not count after this. We had a problem with this before when Gasol was traded to LA when the game was just starting. Want to avoid that this time.




Rules

1. No trades allowed unless your roster page has all player and team salaries.
(credit rocdogg)

2. Each roster page must be kept up to date with transactions, assets, waived players, pick restrictions, and any money owed on what may appear an unguaranteed contract or I will not approve proposed trades.
(credit rocdogg)

3. Vetos - Any player in the game can request a veto on another players trade by emailing me at Arkavious989@hotmail.com

4. A trade will be identified as being vetoed and its status pending for 24 hours so that other GMs may take a look at it. If i get enough veto's I will make a decision on if the trade is approved or rejected.

6. Trading - unlike before Trades will be approved after 24 hours. Your newly acquired players can be traded immediately after the trade is approved. However, you cannot include them in a trade prior to the initial trade being approved.
eg. Milwaukee trades for Dwayne Wade, then an hour later trades Wade to LA for Kobe. I will not even look at the 2nd trade and it will have to be re-posted after the first deal between Milwaukee and Miami is approved.

7. Trades will follow the NBA's regulations found here http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm
Please read up on BYC and PPP. I will be checking for these.

8. You are expected to reply to EVERY trade email you receive. A quick No im not interested is an acceptable answer. This lets the other GM know you have got the offer and do not like it. They will then not waste their time or yours sending the same offer again. Also, try not to be ignorant when someone offers you a 2nd rounder for Amare Stoudamire, IT WILL HAPPEN TRUST ME Acceptable reply to this is You are not even close on this trade. Not, Are you an idiot cause that trade is horrible. Its insulting and we dont need that in our game even if the offer is idiotic. People have different values. A Toronto Fan may see Bargnani as the next Dirk (lol) and offer him for Melo...in their eyes its fair value.

9. We will be using draft picks up to 2013 only. However, some teams have already traded the rights to picks beyond this to other teams. In the case of these picks they can ONLY be traded back to the original team who owns the rights. Thus if NY has a 2016 memphis 2nd they can only trade it to Memphis. Yes it does not affect the game at all I know but someone asked. You can trade Consecutive first round picks.

10. Injuries - the biggest problem in this game when it comes voting time, who is injured and who is not. The way it as always been and will be staying for this run. A player who is injured in Real Life before the game starts is injured, a player who gets injured after the game has started is not injured. If a player who was injured prior to the game starting comes back in Real Life then he is then considered healthy once again.

11. Roster Limit - you must have between 12 and 15 players on your roster at all times. You can not go over 15. Unless the team eg Portland has permission from the league.

12. Waived players can be claimed by emailing me, I will email you back and post in the trades thread if you are able to sign them. Min contracts anyone can pick up. Players who are waived who are making more than the MIN can only be signed by teams that are under the cap and have enough room to pick them up. Players DO NOT clear waivers in this game. If a player was making 5 million they cannot be signed for the min. Hoever, if you look at sham Cap Exceptions section, some teams still have their Bi annual exception and their MLE. These can also be used to sign players who make more than min, but you would have to pick up their total contracts still.

13. All Extended Players and FA signings are permanently on your roster. They cannot be traded. Exception is S&T's.

14. 10/11 Salary cap : the cap will be set at $54,000,000 and tax at $65,000,000 just to give everyone a heads up.

15. 2nd round Draft picks salaries are 500k, 700k and 750k for 3 year deals.

16. Trade Exceptions - a list of these can also be found on shamsports. They can be used for trades but like the real NBA they cannot be combined with players. TE for a player is fine, TE + player for a player is an illegal trade.

17. All Rules are subject to change/new ones made, this is because we always have to change rules when we run into problems in the game.

Sup Mascot.

I don't get out of bed until way late in the day so if you end up being commish and post a thread for the new game early in the day...

pencil me in as the GM of LAL.

Thanks and happy new year, rocdogg

oh yeah, if you do get take the job, good luck.

[LeQuitterNotMVP]

I don't know what team I want yet, so let other people choose teams, but I'll be in. We should wait until after the trade deadline IMO to start it up though.

[SamBone]

well after saying, I am retiring, I guess I will be the Bret Farve of GM a Team and give it a go one more time. I think we need to come up with a better way for scoring (judging) but what the hell!

I also believe GM's that bailed on last game should be put on a waiting list, not allowed to take a team unless it is needed

I will take a chance of doing the impossible and keeping DWade in Miami. Since almost everyone believes he is gone, I will try to put a team around him, that will make him stay.

Just want to put this out there in advance, he will not be traded (unless in a S&T when I am told by commish he will walk). I believe FRANCHISE players should not be moved when I do these games so he is my FRANCHISE player

Good luck Mascot, I will be willing to assist in anyway you would like

Anyway, good to see you give it another go Sambone.

Mascot - You should drop the other 4 GMs in the 'top 5' an email to select their teams if you haven't done so already.

[jcldallas24]

Im taking OKC and making them a contender.

[LeQuitterNotMVP]

I guess I'll take the Cavs if no one else wants them.

[BlackIce]

^^ Good luck with that!

[Klomp]

Unless taken by one of the remaining top 5, I want Minnesota

[TMACFORMVP]

I'll take Chicago.

josh1524@gmail.com

Odds are good that you finally get your team as bryant08 is the only top 5 left not to pick.

Finally! I think this is at least my 5th or 6th game, and I haven't gotten them yet.

[Gremz]

If you can't get 30 Gms let me know. I'd prefer to sit this one out, but would help out if the game needs a kickstart.

[SabasRevenge!]

I'll take Portland.

I wasn't in the last one or two of these but I'm sure some of y'all can vouch that I'm a solid contributor.
