GM of the Year

[RaptorsGM]

Let's begin nominations for the GM of the year.

Remember, this is NOMINATIONS, not VOTES. So I really only need to here each GM's name once.

Please bold the GM that you are nomintating, as that will make it easier for me to create a poll.

It would also be nice to have a breif description of why you are nomintation who you are.


I nomintate the JazzGM, as the trades that he made led him to a title.

NOMINATIONS:

JazzGM
SonicsGM
RaptorsGM
HawksGM
PacersGM

[GoldenStateGM]

I nominate the Sonics...  The job he has doen in putting together such a deep, young talented team is impressive.

There, is that better

[NetsGM]

I think the best mpve JazzGM did were the ones he DIDN'T make.  The feelings I got from him were that he was close to blowing it up.

Unfortunately, my nomination goes to RapsGM.  Getting Yao and Peja was huge.

I only made one move, but I thougth it was great (getting billups for a guy I signed on day 2 of FA).  Unfortunately it only got me to the 2nd round

[NetsGM]

BTW, Yao might be most improved player.  Going from 21/11 to 27/13.5 is huge.

[RaptorsGM]

Just want to let you know that I 'preciate you guys bolded the teams that you are nominating, just like my post asked for.

[NetsGM]

Yes, board Nazi.

Next time you post a cut/signing wrong, or forget to specify a pick correctly, i'll be sure to let you know.

[NetsGM]

FORMAT: [Team name]: [player's name] to [New Position]
Raptors: Lavar Piatowski from SF to SG
Raptors: Gerald Wallace from SG to SF
Gerald Wallace from SF to SG

[HornetsGM]

Raptors, for the most lopsided trade in the league so far.

[SonicsGM]

I appreciate the vote of confidence by GSW, but I must also vote the Raptors way as well.

[JazzGM-old]

My first choices have already been nominated, but I nominate the Hawks for their additions of Ginobili, Gadzuric and Thomas. I feel that they're going to be a nice surprise this coming season because of those additions and the probable maturation of their youth. They gained two A defenders and Gadzuric and Thomas provide very much needed rebounding. Thank goodness tehy don't have to put Prince at PF anymore, that just made me feel uncomfortable. I don't look for them giving up 100 points per game again.

[HawksGM]

I nominate JazzGM(bold won't work on my computer), he kept his core together and added Troy Murphy (huge) and Larry Hughes.  With AK47 he has a chance at being a perenniel powerhouse.  And now adding a future potential superstar PG through the draft he should be good for a while

[RaptorsGM]

FORMAT: [Team name]: [player's name] to [New Position]
Raptors: Lavar Piatowski from SF to SG
Raptors: Gerald Wallace from SG to SF
Gerald Wallace from SF to SG

LOL.

[RaptorsGM]

I'll keep this open until Friday at 5.

Then voting will start, so we can have voting out of the way by the time the next season starts.

[KingsGM-old]

Wait a minute.....where's KingsGM??  

[CelticsGM]

I nominate the Sonics...  The job he has doen in putting together such a deep, young talented team is impressive.

There, is that better

Well, nothing against the Sonics, but you take a team that got 4 top10 draft picks PLUS Shaq (which was not a genious strike but FA luck) - and that team ends up with a 31-51 record, seventh worst in SSBA (well, Shaq went down, I know, but hovering around .500 before was not overly impressive too)! To me that's nothing to warrant even a "GM of the year" nomination.

Completely overlooked was PacersGM again, the OTHER finalist least we forget. He did this with his starting C down, his 6th Jamison man down and a 39yr old playing meaningful minutes.
He didn't win it all but in my eyes thats good enough for a NOMINATION !
