Tanking

[RaptorsGM]

Kings, Bods has already warned you once today about talking about trades in the public forum. I did it to you, you called me out, so why are you still doing it?

[KingsGM-old]

i think this is just one of the limitations of a sim...there may be loopholes you can use to your advantage. I understand tanking is part of the game...but this early? In real life you have to worry about ticket sales and the like, we don't have that check here.

oh really? was that the case last year with iverson and mcgrady? or you want to tell me they were really injured?

[HornetsGM]

Kings, I'm not telling how to run your team, thats obviously your job.  But maybe you should be more open to Tmac trades, superstars come and go just like that in the ssba, look at Marion he was almost traded twice in just as many days.  You could get solid pieces for Tmac, a little to late now though

you see? that's the problem. everyone wants to talk only about tracy mcgrady! every offer i made or recive it begins and ends with mcgrady. he's my franchise player and i just don't want to trade him, i don't see why is that such a big problem? why don't you go ask NetsGM about okafor? or heatGM about shaq, or ming, or whoever! i was open for all kind of trades, i was willing to give bibby and miller, and i didn't ask for something extra. all of my offers were pretty fairly. didn't i offered you bibby/miller for mercer and barry? ask NetsGM what was my offer. miller for dalembert was the first one, than miller for expirings and picks.i don't know if all of you disagree on that but that's all pretty fair deals to me.
i'm sick of this, i really am. it seems like i'm the only one who's the problem here and the main cause of all the problems...if you guys want, i have no problem to quit...i really don't

I liked Miller, we shoulda talked more!

I think you've gotten a lot better with trades. You gave me a good explanation about why you couldn't do the trade I offered, and I appreciated that.
Your attitude has really improved too, and I hope you stay on. There's nothing wrong with waiting for a good trade to come along.

The Kings Gm might not make many moves, but look at the move he did make. Clearly, it was a good trade.
I wouldn't trade T-Mac either  

[KingsGM-old]

oh sorry...i guess it was a bad offer then

No, but when you propose a deal, you must make sure it works financially first.  Nobody can accept a deal that doesn't work under the rules (like your miller for gooden offer).  If it can't work, then it's nobody's fault but your own.  It's not my fault that a deal involving miller and gooden couldn't work, and it's not bulls fault that the other deal couldn't work.

Just saying it how it is.

yes i did. we calculated everything and everything was fine

no, i didn't called you out. netsGM did it. i don't have problems with that at all

I'm not saying Kings shuold go out and trade Tmac because of on sub par season, but he should probably explore some possibilities.  Tmac is a franchise player, but for some reason the Kings couldn't gel this season.  This offseason will be huge for the Kings.  A few pieces from the draft and FA market and he's immediately a title contender again

[RaptorsGM]

Where did our sim godess go, anyway?

He was here, running all the trades, then he disappeared.

Strange...

I don't recall enough of that situation to make a comment, but beyond real life, looking at the sim, with 20 games left in the season (many of those against those above the kings in the standings), the kings are only 3.5 games out of the 8th spot...with all of the recent trades, who knows where the kings could be being one of the few teams to keep the same lineup

you see, that's just one of the problems when i communicate with you guys. do you know what's the time right now in my country? it 4 o'clock in the mourning. you think i always have the energy to explain (at least 3 times a day well past midnight) why i dislike or like the offer? think about that

[RaptorsGM]

Why are you on here at 4 am??

Go practice you're 360 dunks or something.

I understand that it's tough with the time difference, but it's really hard to make a trade where it's one GM just shooting in the dark. When you give an explanation, even if it's short, it gives the other Gm a much better idea of what is needed. A completed trade is the result of a long process involving both GMs.

you don't practice 360 dunks at 4am. you don't have to practice that at all, either you can do it, or you don't, it's that simple

[KingsGM-old]

anyway, i bet that the rapsGM can't even touch the rim...

[JazzGM-old]

I have 2 slam dunk contest appearances...haha ask hawksGM about how well they went.

[RaptorsGM]

anyway, i bet that the rapsGM can't even touch the rim...

I think I've said it before...I can barely though the netting.

Blew out both knees.

So you got me there. But I would just shoot 3's at you all night.
