It is the most stacked big man free agency class I have ever seen with Hibbert/Love/Aldridge/West/Gasol as well as Monta and Rondo. It would prevent people from bitching out after losing out on 2014 free agency.
It would be interesting. If it happened we would do both free agencies I think and that could drag out the game to much.

Maybe make the lull period for trades less? Bidding on Love Aldridge Hibbert Gasol would be super fun in my mind.

The problem is that if you do 2015 free agency, you have to do the 2015 draft, and the players in that mock draft are still very questionable.

I dont foresee it being a big problem, sure there mostly question marks but many people will still value the picks if theyre rebuilding. We can even make some 2014 unappreciated prospects like Gordon, Harrison, Hezonjna declare for it. I just think it'l be super cool to have the best big man free agency of all time to play with.

Also, how far along are they in Own-A-Team? I didn't play this round, as I've been swamped with assignments and exams since the middle of last month and I'm FINALLY on break for a month and itching to play again. Can't wait till the next GMAT starts!

it's gonna be awesome!

i dunno if im totally into doin the 2015 FA. How are we gonna simulate the 2014 one? All FA's re-sign?

im not aginst it i think it would be a nice change but it might be confusing getting that far ahead of ourselves that quickly into the game

I say, 1 week of trading... then the 2014 draft. Then 2014 free agency. then 2 weeks trading. then 2015 draft(i know its a crapshoot but who cares lol) then 2015 Free agency. Many many good players in it and it could prevent bitching on losing Lebron as those with space left can just set their sights on Love/Aldridge/Hibbert/Rondo etc plus many borderline guys and good role players

The rankings for the OAT are starting tonight and then the game will be all wrapped up in a couple days , could we start sign-up's for the next GMAT now so there isn't a big gap and multiple day wait for the last few teams to get GM's?

Is there a commish for the next game yet?

People are going to complain no matter what. A LOT of people forget that it's a game and take it personal when they don't get what they though they deserved. Combine that with the sheer amount of work the commish would have to do on top of the fact that we'd be relying on 30 people to actually be committed and stick through it.

I think the list of who isn't is longer than the one who would be willing to.

I vow to never commish again.

No matter what happens some guys always cry and quit.

I'm def. in the next game though.

It'll be a long time before I commish as well. I'm in as long as GhostX isn't allowed to play.
