I think my success stemmed from just sticking with what worked, I was patient, but when I needed to make a trade I did. Some of my best seasons were those where I was tempted to blow up my team due to slow starts, including both back to back championship years and even this year I was a 7th seed. The keys for me were a pg with a high assist to turnover ratio, defense at PG is kinda irrelevant (remember antonio daniels?), 1 inside guy had to be a good rebounder, the other a good defender, I liked good field goal percentage from 3 (Phillip Meyers anyone?) and I needed a scoring big man off the bench. Defense at the 3 and 5 i found were key (Kirilenko). In fact if your best players are a 3 and a 5 with a pg with a high assist to TO ratio, you were in good shape...I usually shot the three and let my big guys rebound

Hey everyone,

I was hoping I could end out on a championship and I sure as hell could make a run going into next season, but it's getting to that point in my personal life that I need to start focusing on some real life things. I'm currently enrolled in a doctorate and master's program and I just became president of a club on campus that's going to take a little more focus. I'm at the point in my professional career where I need to focus on making networks and putting things together for my career that'll be starting in 2 short years. My weekends are starting to fill up with seminars and office visits and I need to make some cuts in places.

I've been pretty dependable through the years here at SSBA and have stuck through 3-4 commissioners and have enjoyed one of the top franchises including back to back championships a ways back. I've had a lot of fun, this league has been a great form of stress relief, but after seeing my attendance problems this year and my inability to follow up on and work out deals to continue the strength of my franchise, I think it's time to hand over the reigns to someone else that can be a little more active. I'll definitely keep in touch with happenings in the league. I'm close friends with HawksGM so as long as he's around, I'll be indirectly connected with the league.

Good luck to all of you. It's been fun.

 

Nuggets absolutely owned me....not a good series for the Jazz...Looking at playoff leaders, 3 rounds into he playoffs and hardly anyone from the Jazz is represented. Being a seventh seed, I can't complain too much, Bird absolutely disappeared in that series.
