New GM a Team Discussion Thread (Draft Order Pg 12)

[calderon13]

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

If for any reason Lebron chooses not to resign in L.A(in which case i would be terribly disappointed). i am listening to sign and trade offers, i have recieved a few offers all of which are respectable offers, however there is still one offer in particular that is still winning by a landslide.

Keep sending me those offers and remember your team has to be in a market that Lebron would like, and has to still have a supporting cast that will allow him to win an NBA championship after the trade.

I am sure thats not how it will work in this game. LeBron will first sign with a team and depending on the understanding between that team's GM and you, you guys can work out a S&T. You make it seem as if you can influence what team LeBron chooses based on the return you get, which is not the case. LeBron is free to pick the team of his choice and sign in principle with them and then its upto the other GM if he wants to do a S&T.

Is this not how it will work Skorf?

If it is a trade(in this case a sign and trade) it will be able to be vetoed.

[bringbackhoffa]

yea it would be a sign and trade with a team that would be currently over the cap that cannot bid on Lebron. And trust me there would not be any vetoes on the trade as i am getting very good value in return(there is no value in the game that could equal lebron thats why i am still hoping he signs with me).
and lebron would love to play in that city as it is nice and sunny all year round and is a huge basketball city with a really really good team (as per the voting that was done by all the gms in this game to determine the 2010 draft order)

and to calderon''s msg it would be a sign and trade( so teams over the cap can also have a shot at getting him) so he would sign with me so he could get the extra 30 Mill or so and then i would have to follow through on my end and deal him to the destination i said i was going to during our negoitiations.

lol look at all of u guys becoming nervous...lol

It could be vetoed, but you have to understand that skorf is acting as lebron's agent and a facilitator between the two teams, so I'm guessing that it would have to be an outrageous number of vetoes for him to overturn his own decision.

[MadNESS]

got my internet back and ready to deal.

Theres only like 3-4 teams that Lebron should even consider. Realistically 90% of the teams out there should have zero chance at getting lebron. Let's be realistic...no way Lebron goes to Minnesota or Memphis or OKC. As much as I would love Lebron, I understand there is zero chance that Lebron comes to Sacramento willingly...simply because we aren't a top 2-3 market.

Lebron should have all the power in this situation not any team.

He's one of the few players ever to be able to completely alter a team's future and make money anywhere (again as long as he's going to a big market).

We all know that Lebron will only play for a top 5 market (unless it's personal ties)
and the top 5 market follows
1 New York
2 Los Angeles
3 Chicago
4 Philadelphia
5 Dallas-Ft. Worth

Let's say it is a deal for D-Wade. I would mos def veto that as Wade is older and has had injury issues.

and

A 34 year old Duncan(35by season's end)<<<<<<a 25 year old Dwight. I can't see LeBron being that short sighted just to help out LA.

Miami's team is too damn old.

[BlackIce]

I have entered the LBJ sweepstakes, I would not be so sure MIA gets LBJ...

So basically you're saying he will sign with either the Knicks or Lakers? Uh, I don't think so.

[roc]

Same goes for Detroit, too damn old(and cold) for LeBron to choose to play there. Irk Nowinski will be 33 at the start of the season and 34 by the end.

LeBron has the power to choose his next destination and IMO will not be shortsighted.

and

Welcome back BlackIce.

[bringbackhoffa]

If Miami is too old why did Dwade re-sign there and why was it voted as the best team by other gms... and any trade i do i would not be getting full value for lebron as it is impossible to do thats why i hope he resigns with me, and Dwade in my opinion is getting the value for him and giving Lebron a chance to win a few championships back-to-back-to-back. And Miami isnt the only option for him i have given him a handful of teams to pick from, so i am not dictating where he goes, all in all i hope he decided to resign here, as i do have a competitive team, as well have a great basketball market which sells out games year after year.

As well Lebron wants to win NOW, look at the last 5 NBA champions they were all full of veterans, he is sick and tired of hearing that he has yet to win an NBA championship, and thats what im trying to do here in LA putting together a veteran team and win a championship as soon as possible. You have to remember Lebron can opt out in his 5 yr of this 6 yr deal i am presenting so whether if he picks LA or goes to another Veteran team, he will have players that are still going to be around for at least the next 5 or 6 yrs.

Only one of those teams are in the top 5 for FA destinations and LeBron is already there.

[TMACFORMVP]

Yeah, all these teams are too old, he should come to a media where he can do commercials with Peyton Manning, run n gun with Rondo, Carter (Young as the youth to balance out), Amare, Smith, and others and be dominant for years. Too bad there are no teams like that.

I'm partly joking, so hopefully nobody takes it in the wrong way, lol.

[BlackIce]

Thanks vege, r0cd0gg. Both DETs fan, guess they like what I am doing with the team, lol.

[LeQuitterNotMVP]

Hurry up skorf, and end this madness!

[roc]

If Miami is too old why did Dwade re-sign there and why was it voted as the best team by other gms...

Good question. IMO extensions should not have been allowed and GMs did not vote Miami as the best team they voted that they would for sure make the playoffs. Big difference.

When we do actually vote on which team is best I hope it will be with a proper who is best type poll and not who will make the playoffs that we used to determine the draft as that would make zero sense.

We should be voting for best rebuild, best win now, and best overall. With team salary, injury issues, and how the new team looks in comparison to how it started all being determining factors.

QFT. Yes, I can understand why some guys did sign extensions, but come on, it ruined all the fun.

He took a crap team to the finals and Dwight has also been to the finals. Add in what could be the number 1 pick in the draft next year and a couple Free Agent vets that know their roles and he wins more titles than a 34/35 year old Duncan will be able to help him get. Duncan will most likely be retired before Lebron reaches that 5th year.

In RL if Orlando opened up enough capspace to nab LeBron I think he would jump at the opportunity to play with the 2 way post monster named Dwight. Rewrite the history books and make people say MJ who?

[bringbackhoffa]

Lebron can make 30M+ more if he resigns with me or through a sign and trade and i cant see a player who even with a net worth of 200M toss away 30M dollars with the current economic conditions its not easy to throw away that kind f money

[bryant08]

Save the talk for your offer guys, I'm so tired of seeing this crap here. You're not trying to prove to 29 other GMs that your team deserves LeBron, you're proving that to two people, LeBron and LeBron's agent (both of whom are currently skorff lol ).

Seriously, it's just getting annoying. I can't wait to see the hissy-fits when LeBron doesn't sign with the 29 other teams that offered him a contract.
