:nod:

Working on getting him on the site so he can stop by :D

I know we've typically done established users but I'm hoping this can be an exception. My buddy's great people! We're friends from grad school, before I moved west, and have kept in close contact since as he moved (in his case back) to Oregon so get your Blazers players in the queue. He keeps quiet about it but once you get him started the basketball junkie side is clear as day. Over text, he was already kvetching about the Grant Williams contract :lol: so try to get one over on him at your own peril.


Hmm so it looks like he has dibs on Boston? So we should be advertising Houston, right?

Holding out hope ICH rethinks. He is still an active poster. Built a team with some good potential. He doesn't have to be crazy active to get through this busy time for him.

Just draft and couple times during FA. Then he's basically off until November.

I'd prefer that too. Having a baby is no joke, though (and it's loads of fun)

I feel like the team is too much at a pinnacle point and I can't focus on FA the way I would need to and don't wanna miss out on what I would need to do.

I'm sorry fellas.

Maybe post on the GB some other person might be interested.

I just don't know if I can be active enough for the important FA stuff and I don't wanna screw it up lol.

I think maybe I'll do it if you guys can't find anyone before the draft/FA/etc, Id rather not cause the game to end or whatever because of me.

All good bro, not trying to pressure you. I have 2 young kids I know the deal lol

Its sometimes just tough to find good replacements and your squad is just at the point of being really good. Cade leap and ur other pieces. But I understand.
