I don’t think jewelry says enough, much the way I don’t like that argument IRL either. Like how the media created the false narrative that players can only be judged by their amount of rings or lack thereof.

That mindset is what created the “team up” mentality amongst players IRL in the first place, that most have come to dislike. Those feelings have now permeated over to places like here, where actual team-building is now clowned as if there is something wrong with a team-oriented approach, and now star-phuccing at all costs is the only model that matters.

Does anyone have the balls to post a 30-GM rank assessment? It would make for interesting discussion between the off-days of the bubble tourney.

One thing is for sure, the league reset will test GMs mettle regardless, cuz most won’t be able to field their current roster without mass turnover, and will be forced to construct almost an entirely new team. GMs who have contending teams now will be tested to show they can do it again with a different recipe.


I'll be aight.

i think rather than a 30-GM rank, it should be a grading system (the teacher in me).


because ranking has to be tough, as we have a lot of new GMs who are doing it for the first time, taken over great teams, taken over **** teams.


should grade each GM based on: where they were last year, and what they've done so far

You weren't ready for this kind of smoke :lol: It's cool, next time don't be and1'ing crazy statements. OG's know I am always ready to go PAGES.

All buzz said was the west was lining up to get beat by me. Why would I not like that post if I have confidence in my team. Lol. You bugging out for nothing. And all because I liked a post. Relax. I’m always down for smoke my guy. But if you really had an issue with that then you should’ve PM’d me instead of talking crazy out here.

I spoke my mind. I see the west scrambling like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off chasing Melo. I also see them falling short so far. Even if it stings, that is an honest evaluation on my part.

I've held myself back from chasing stars unless they fit a certain age group, with Kawhi being the exception. Kind of went out of my element and inquired about him today. I've tried to create my own personal challenges where I've ducked the early development teenage prospects as well as avoided max guys in their 30s and stuck to that in between age group where guys aren't bad enough to tank but not good enough to contend. I love a good underdog story and while we still got ways to go in Denver, I love where we are headed.

Honest evaluation is that dissing teams out building their best selves while Donovan Mitchell goes for scraps is a bad look. Taking a bold step for the future? :roll: You were gifted the two best young stars in the game. Getting Zion and Doncic served up on a silver platter wasn't really an option for most of us here.

Most of you OG who are still in it had early access to all these superstars. Of course a lot of you played bad owners and scrambled with overpays. Which is why there are so many contracts of 400 a year and more.

Lets see who learned their lesson on the reset. But right now I see a lot of horrible contracts out there that people are responsible for. So don't tell me what I was gifted; when a lot of you had access to the entire player pool at one time or another.

Just smoke man. But some of these owners out west think they are doing something special while crapping all over the east. Like they are special. There is 1st place and then there is everyone else. Some people here seem to have forgotten that. lmao.
