It's 2020. We in an era where even RealGM GM's need to be verified with blue checks ✓

Robin is def a burner account for sure. Majority of the deals made for his team doesn’t even benefit him in any way.

Literally..
The guy does deals exclusive to select GM’s and the deals only handicap his team lmao. Yeah that’s not suspicious at all

I've sent him 5 PM's and he hasn't responded to one over the past 4-5 months. That's my issue and I want him replaced.

let me guess you tried to dump no shot simmons on him for ingram...

Apparently Washington is a BaF farm team. Let's call it the B League.

Dude had well over $300+ in immediate cap space. Trades it for Conley's expiring when next offseason is a way weaker free agent class. Traded his best pick too. Makes zero sense.

I'd like to hear the vision for these dodgy moves.

Additionally some GMs get left on read for months. Others seemingly have no issues getting an actual response and approval, let alone theirs merely opened and read.

Also, the deals he does are almost always big deals with major ramifications. Seemingly never any small deals for incremental improvement. Always some blockbuster where he gets dug into a deeper grave.

Something's just not quite...

Also wasn't the vetoed trade more about someone quitting and trading a player while knowingly quitting and thus not knowing their true intention versus the actual value not being "fair"?

Yes, that was the issue.

It is pretty much the same issue. We really don't know the intentions of Rob, people complained Bowlrips didn't care about his team, and given the moves Rob has made it is clear he doesn't really care about his team either.

Time to attend to the game seems to be a challenge.

Robin was an IRL personal connection of Soul with no previous RGM experience so this burner stuff is an indirect accusation of Soul, btw. Soul hasn't even been involved in any of Robin's deals. The burner accusation doesn't make sense at all.

My 10yr old son created rosters on 2K20 so we can livestream the Pacers vs. Cavs (BAF matchup). I'll be streaming the game LIVE starting at NOON if y'all wanna tune in.

Here's the link: https://www.twitch.tv/newera2033

The cpu will play for both teams.

This should be an exciting way to pass time!

Edit: It’s our first time trying this out so hopefully it’s a great experience for all.

I think people are being a bit harsh on Robin. Like, look at some of the deals I made as a rookie GM, they were pretty bad

I can kind of understand what he's going for if you look at it from the perspective of someone who's only on RGM for BaF, and not a frequent poster. Dude just wants his team to be as good as possible, and doesn't want to tank because of the commitment to the game that requires. He's more of a casual player, where we're a bunch of hardcore guys who are on every day scrutinizing every move, which would explain the pms being left for months, because he likely only logs in that often. To be fair, you can say that's not good team building, cause it's pretty much what the Knicks have done for decades, but it's not egregiously bad to the point where calling him a burner is warranted, especially because, as Cap pointed out, he's someone SOUL knows in real life, so that likely means accusing SOUL of being in on it

Now, if you want to argue that someone with that level of commitment shouldn't be in the game, that's a different argument and one you could make the case for, but I think some people are going overboard with the accusations.

Also he’s far from the only GM that doesn’t post in the discussion thread.

He’s also far from the only GM who reads PMs and doesn’t respond.

Hallmark of wanting your team to be as good as possible is trading John Wall for Mike Conley

[Strick]

I’m not in this, but have always been intrigued seeing the teams in many users’ signatures. If anyone doesn’t mind, could you give a brief explanation to what it is? Is there a pot? How many years has it been going? Etc..

Well, Conley does make half as much as Wall, plus if you don't know how the sim treats injured players, you'd assume Wall's ratings are gonna plummet from being out for a year.

He also got two mid firsts and Elfrid "sim god" Payton plus he probably overvalues Bamba who he got in the deal as well, and he got Conley for basically nothing in a separate trade

I'm just saying, just because you wouldn't make that move doesn't mean he doesn't think it makes sense. I'm not even saying it's a good move, just I can understand why he thinks it is.

I haven't seen much of Tyson Chandler in his limited minutes this year, but has he gotten as slow as the game makes him look? Very Boban-like.

One thing about the game detail though, is that sim-Grayson Allen stills gives me the urge to slap the **** of him for no reason in particular.
