Title: State of the League
Post by: MagicGM on October 16, 2010, 11:02:48 AM
The league, as we all know, isn't exactly what it used to be. The days were we'd get lots of DC's and GM activities is far from what we have right now, and it is long gone. I have decided to carry on for the past 2 seasons to see if the activity will pick up, but with no signs of it happening, it is, no doubt, the best to consider these options. I have tried to recruit GMs all over, but the long run of our league don't really interest the people I have talked with.

Please vote and feel free to state your opinion.

For those of us that have been here since the beginning, it's been over 5 years. That's a long time. We couldn't expect the league to go on forever. I think I've just lost interest in it for the most part and would be fine with letting it go.

Well, one thing is for sure, we'll continue the league until the finals end.

but the succeeding seasons, I don't know. It would highly depend on the number of votes we get. If we can get at least half of the remaining GMs to participate in the voting, might as well continue. :)

This is my 2nd year and have to say i like it alot. I cant speak for why gms are not active this is a good league.
Maybe we should take a poll to see how we can make it better. I for one like real NBA player names. I also vote to keep the league going.
How many active GM's do we have? Can we have a league with only 10-12 teams with only active GMS? And when we get others that want to join, we can do an expansion. Just a thought..

But, if the vote is to close the league doors, then please remove me for this league now-theres no point in putting in DC's if theres no leauge.

Currently, we only have 7 teams open. But only have 14 active GMs. The other 4 usually come and go. No, we can't have a league of only 10-12 teams. The open teams are run under CPU control during the offseason.

So if we can get 10 responses regarding this matter, it is safe to say that the league will continue. Whether it will be a restart of rosters or continue with what we have will be depending on the result of the poll though.

Dont get me wrong, I dont mind continuing the league, its just that with the low number of active GMs we have, I'm afraid that some of you might be having negative effects with the league already.

After a while of futility, I finally have a young up-and-coming team, and the Knicks pick that will be top-5. Of course I want to see where this goes!

If this league does end up falling through, please come to RBSL if you arent already there. We have 4 openings.

Would love for the league to continue forward...Some of us GM's think 3-4 years out. In terms of activity...sometimes I like the team I have and don't want to trade it away every other week, when i need to make a move, I do so. So beyond posting DCs, being active in free agency, and some occasional trash talk or summary of what my team has been doing, not sure what else we need except human controlled GMS

We currently have 9 votes right now, I think it is safe to say that we'll be at least 10 votes for this poll. and that the league will continue, as previously stated if we reach at least 10 votes.

well we have around 12 DC so that is the state of the league. and this year a cpu controlled team might win the title  :(

I think so. We got the 10 votes that were required, now its just a matter of a restart, or to continue. and we need to step up the recruiting efforts

I think its done to be honest. 11 GMs out of 29? That's horrendous. That's 18 teams you can't make trades with. If its just running with 11 GMs, don't think I am interested in staying on.
