Sim 6 Up

[SixersGM]

no

Technically speaking, it is very much tanking, but sincer it was annouced so much before, and since it's being done without an intention that usually comes  with tanking it's gonna be hard to convince the tanking committee to kick him out 

no it isn´t. Tanking includes that he will play them next year and tries to get a better pick.
Since he still is in the PO race and repeatly posted that emeka and pettit won´t play anymore for the nets, i can´t see any tanking here.

When was the last time you checked the standings?

[NetsGM]

Before last sim I was in the playoffs. 

My pick is currently 10th, 1 game away from 13th.  Give me credit.  If I were tanking it'd be a lot worse than that.

[SixersGM]

No offense guys, but this is not something that has to be agreed to by all the league's GM's.  I announced that Emeka and Pettit wouldn't be playing long ago.  I announced why it was happening, and I announced why I believed it was crucial for a sim league to continue that it had to happen.  I have also announced why I won't be just trading them.  If you remember the last time I tried to get rid of them, there's a reason I'm not just trading them to the highest bidder.  It will be resolved.  When a determine the best way to do it.

You're situation really reminds me of the present 76ers. They are trying to compete, but they are really going nowhere. Whereas in your case, I guess you're tired of winning already.

They are trying to rebuild but no one is giving them a good package for AI, thus they are stucked with him until a good package arrive.

Actually my plan for the present 76ers is very much similar with yours. Bench AI and Cwebb next year then hopefully land a decent prospect in the lottery, Greg Oden maybe. Then start competing again.

Anyway.. Im just glad to hear that it will be resolved.

Ok.. I know what you mean. If you notice, teams didn't complain until you fell out of the play-off run. Thus, I think this issue will be closed once your team entered the play-off picture. Which is very much possible.

Um...my situation is NOTHING like the 76ers.  If I wanted to, I could have won 60 games this year.  After winning 3 championships, I don't see how that's anything like the 76ers.

It's not that I haven't gotten good offers for the players.  Quite the contrary.  I've gotten some very good offers for them.  But I'm not looking for what's best for my team, but what's best for the league.  And taking the best offer for my team would put my back into instant contender mode, which is not what I want.

Yes, I said that "whereas in you're condition, I guess you're already tired of winning." And I can't blame you for that. I do believe that you're team can create a dynasty if you want to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, aight? But, wouldn't your present team + a earvin johnson would also not be best for the league? I don't know If Im getting this right. 

[NetsGM]

Your team + garrett pettit wouldn't be what's best for the league.

[SixersGM]

Your team + garrett pettit wouldn't be what's best for the league.

But I do have to give alot for Petit.

[NetsGM]

But that doesn't do any good for the league.  If I get a lot in return for Pettit, I'm right back to championship contention, which was the whole point of getting rid of them.

See the point?

If I give them away to a good team, I've created a dynasty.  If I get a lot back from them, I extend my dynasty.  Neither is what I'm trying to accomplish.

[CelticsGM]

Your team + garrett pettit wouldn't be what's best for the league.

But I do have to give alot for Petit.

hahahaha, great joke.

The best team in the league getting Pettit would be worse for the league than those Nets dynasty. No offense, but whatever you'd give for Pettit, save for your two biggies, wouldn't hurt you AT ALL !!!

[Iverson2Korver43]

I'll give up some crap contracts and a future 1st for Pettit...  My team would still suck ass and you would be getting a shit deal...  Sound good???

[BucksGM]

I still don't understand why it's a bad deal for the league to have a dynasty (and we're talking about a team that never won it two years in a row).  I'd rather have that than another team winning it all and having it marred by the fact that one of the best teams intentionally made itself a middle of the road also ran.  Until Okafor and Petit are old and retired, it practically puts an asterisk next to every result, especially if another team from the East wins it.

[CelticsGM]

WE WANT GARRETT, WE WANT EMEKA !!!

Or this is like the Rockets titles when MJ was retired initially, when everyone knew the Bulls were poised to grab #4 and #5 ... and become the first 9-peat team after the Celt's missed it in '67 - and would you have bet against that ?

we just forget this from time to time ...
 

[HeatGM]

we want okafor and pettit on the hall of fame 

[CelticsGM]

we want okafor and pettit on the hall of fame 

btw, you need 25000 FBB points for a hall of fame entry. FBB points are attributed for achievements in the league. So no wonder no current retiree is HOF material after just 10 seasons ...
