Build a Franchise Season 4 Offseason- Commish Update pg. 93

[mpharris36]

I feel you on this. Like in the playoffs I was getting destroyed by Embiid. So in my desperation I played Derrick Rose at C and didn’t cross matchup. I actually let him defend Embiid and it won me my only game against Brooklyn. At that point it didn’t matter who defended Embiid, he was gonna get his anyway. I just needed more speed in my lineup.

In the past I have voiced displeasure with blatant tanking. But I played Rose at C to win. So I think that falls in line with what K-DOT just said. And that can be explained in a quick write-up, as bish/mpharris have said. Just to operate in good faith.

But I also appreciate pooch’s perspective of not wanting to relinquish options. I respect and love his zany personality and it can reflect itself in his posts, roster construction, and even his sig! But bish has always been very fair and I think any valid concern would be alleviated with a reasonable explanation for your lineup choice.

Much respect to all my fellow GM’s. Just want to say I am happy the S&T rule has passed and will be implemented for this current free agency period. Proud to say I authored it. I think it adds an exciting wrinkle to offseason planning and aligns GM options as closely to the NBA collective bargaining agreement as possible.

Wow congrats 2010...really nice rule change. I think it does alleviate teams maybe that have a expiring big name guy and doesn't think they want to be forced to resign him but it allows them to play out the year without the potential for losing them for nothing.

I think well drafted, even if it is a rule that might not benefit me (which it doesn't ) I voted for it because its a good rule and that should be the main reason a vote should pass for the betterment of the league.

Thanks man! I also think it makes the offseason even more exciting. As everyone can be involved in some capacity. Even the capped out teams can at least engage in discussions if they have attractive assets.

Indeed they can sign a player and then potential have a small window to trade that player for maybe a few players that give them more depth. I think it does give those teams that have those bird rights an advantage which they should have.

John Wall going to Portland?

John Wall going to Portland?

I think that would require Rob to check his team

I think Smash was thinking long term, a new GM takes over for Wash and they amnesty wall and Smash signs him

Oh trust me, soon as Smash commented about amnesty I saw right through him

yea i think in hindsight we probably should of gotten someone that had more then 1 or 2 posts on realgm when handing them a team..

Yeah it wont completely curtail tanking as its too much of a slippery slope to tell players to play a veteran expiring contract if there team is built for the future and they want to see how young guys play. I would hope people try there best to be accurate with who should play and who shouldn't for the good of the game but the role is as bish pointed out to try to void the exploitation of the SIM putting players into specific rules that they have no choice to succeed in and doing it to purposely throw games.

It won't fully change much other than if my team is bad...and my PG rotation last year was Frank/Lonnie Walker for most of the season. It would at least stop me from putting Frank at Center and Mo Bamba at PG. While that doesn't seem like a huge difference. At least they are in respectable positions and im not trying to have Mo Bamab turn the ball over 20 times....which also circumvents and effects stats like steals and turnovers and other things because no one would be allowed to turn the ball over 18 times in one game...that is just not accurate. And the point of the game is to try to replicate (as close as possible) real life in our SIM world

I just see it as teams can still tank either way. Whether that is a good strategy or not is a different story.

Like I said you wont be able to totally curtail it and tanking is always part of the NBA too. But the point is to circumvent the SIM's limitations which the rule does have a purpose.

Again it will still be up to the GM to hopefully "do right" and play it out the right way...and there are SF like PJ Tucker that probably would have zero success at PG and this rule wouldn't stop that. But it at least stops the egregious decisions which was pointed out...the Centers playing pg to cause turnovers.

I was playing 1 star PG but at least they were a pg and they would have the occassional 5-6-7 turnover game but they would never have 15-20 turnovers in one game...you don't see that as an issue???

Yea, I agree that is pretty bad. But like you mentioned you could still play PJ Tucker or someone even worse like say Jaron Blossomgame at PG or go with all 1 star players or something. Guess it is just tricky figuring out the lines between blatant tanking or a more honorable tank. The strictly C at PG was one line that probably went too far.

Oh and this new guy Rob from the Wizards? Doesn’t someone know him personally? Guys are MIA. But the way Braz suddenly went missing is most concerning.

He once shared a spreadsheet with me via email a while back. So I also emailed him last week out of concern, but no response.

Yeah Soul I believe vouched for Rob to take over the Wizards. And everyone has the right to GM the way they want and I'm sure there is a happy medium in terms of activity where at least a team should be able to check in (see whats going on in the league) be around to vote on new rules...Im not saying just trading is required for activity...but it would be nice for everyone to have some level of activity.

As for Braz thats why its the most concerning because he had moves lined up from what I am aware of and he was always super active and then for 3 weeks just disappeared.

I think that he's "NAME REMOVED" on Youtube. He was commenting on some Knicks related vids.

There is also a guy replying to this article with the same name. If it’s him maybe we can access his FB account from there to confirm?
