Title: GM of the year Post by: RaptorsGM on March 19, 2005, 06:11:56 PM Time to nominate, and vote.
It's a tough one this year. The Championship team, the Heat, deserve consideration, but don't get my vote, because he started with Shaq. The Sonics were the surprise team of the year, but also don't get my vote, because they traded away all their Finals' team, when the finals were still going on. I'm gonna vote Hornets. VOTES: Warriors: 3 Hornets: 1 Raptors:1 Heat: 1 Sixers: 1 Title: GM of the year Post by: SonicsGM on March 19, 2005, 06:16:30 PM Who cares if I dealt my players while I was in the championship? The point is, I started with a bunch of good players, kept my financial flexibility, gained a ton of future picks, and made the finals.
Other than that, I vote for Golden State. He did a ton to improve his club.

I agree with the RapsGm on that one. Title: GM of the year Post by: SonicsGM on March 20, 2005, 05:00:04 AM I traded one member while the team was in the finals. But the deal didn't occur until after the season.
Title: GM of the year Post by: NetsGM on March 20, 2005, 09:52:24 AM Yes, the heat started with shaq, but he added kobe, then had the stones to trade kobe for a group that led him to a championship. he gets my vote.
I'd vote for Raps, but most of the deals he made won't come to help him until next year, with the draft picks. Title: GM of the year Post by: RaptorsGM on March 20, 2005, 09:55:14 AM Ah well, every deal I made had it's purpose. Next year I'm gonna be the best.
Title: GM of the year Post by: KingsGM-old on March 20, 2005, 12:44:24 PM kingsGM off course!
Title: GM of the year Post by: RaptorsGM on March 20, 2005, 12:47:23 PM Quote from: KingsGM kingsGM off course! Yeah, especially with that great trade with the Raptors.... Title: GM of the year Post by: NetsGM on March 20, 2005, 01:10:16 PM Quote Ah well, every deal I made had it's purpose. You probably made the 2 best trades of the season (and also one of the worst ;) ). IMO that will put you in for GM of the year NEXT year. But I can't give you the award for deals that haven't paid off yet.

But I can't give you the award for deals that haven't paid off yet. Which two trades? The one with the Celtics probably, but which other one? And I know you think that was a bad trade, but I've used it well. I turned Hoffa and Bosh into Mihm and the 5th pick. Title: GM of the year Post by: HawksGM on March 20, 2005, 01:26:06 PM how bout the Hawks 21-61 :wink: , I did end up w/Tanner though :D
Title: GM of the year Post by: NetsGM on March 20, 2005, 01:31:18 PM The trade that got you the celtics pick and the trade that got you mihm and the 5th.
and yes, it was a bad trade. Like I said earlier, I will GUARANTEE you that hoffa doesn't have an F potential. You could have gotten Pavel for much cheaper. Title: GM of the year Post by: RaptorsGM on March 20, 2005, 01:31:38 PM Tanking on purpose doesn't get you GM of the Year ;)
Tanner is no Shaw or KG either. He's not gonna be the MVp.

Like I said earlier, I will GUARANTEE you that hoffa doesn't have an F potential. You could have gotten Pavel for much cheaper. You're probably right, but the main reason for the trade was to get Finley for Jalen Rose. And Mihm and the 5th doesnt happen without the other trade. I think that trade I made with you wil lturn out to be pretty sweet too :) Title: GM of the year Post by: KingsGM-old on March 20, 2005, 05:34:01 PM Quote from: RaptorsGM Quote from: KingsGM kingsGM off course! Yeah, especially with that great trade with the Raptors.... vampire! suckin the blood out of innocent rookie! i'll blast you the next season! anyway, only the injuries prevented me from winning the title Title: asdgasdg Post by: HeatGM on March 20, 2005, 06:51:59 PM you guys talk to much...ehehehe lets vote...so wats the tally?

Title: GM of the year Post by: HornetsGM on March 20, 2005, 08:22:49 PM can't we just set it up as a poll? I thought this is where we nominate gms.
Title: GM of the year Post by: RaptorsGM on March 20, 2005, 09:18:58 PM I don't know how to make a poll. But now that we have taken nominations, go ahead and make a poll if you know how...cause i cant remember.
Title: GM of the year Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 21, 2005, 09:04:03 AM Well, being in running, I really cannot vote... But thanks for the votes of confidence :)
My first trade was trading Pietrus for Collison... Collison has been great off the bench for me. I do not know how many teams have a B+ inside scoring coming off their bench... I ended up trading Troy Murphy for Vlad Radman and a 1st round pick, and Vlad was the reason the Warriors were able to win against the Timberwolves. He played Garnett very, very well... and that trade enabled... The trade that keeps my team in the playoffs for the next 5 years... 2 non-- lottery draft picks and salary cap relief for Brent Barry and Ben Wallace. Not a whole lot of trades, and my best scorer scored only 18 ppg... But the Warriors go 9 men deep, and each position has a good mix of offense and defense... |
