^ He's not playing with Petit or Okafor.  I'm still not sure why though

[KingsGM-old]

Bastard wants Magic.

[CelticsGM]

disagree.

first he was a playoff team before Kundla went down.
secondly, the benching of Pettit and Emeka was announced for two seasons in advance.

but I believe the Pettit/Emeka case has to be solved. Putting them on IL looks bad, especially if your teams loses. Retiring them dan't be in the best interest of the league either. So why not trade them ?

[NetsGM]

I announced in the 2013 season that the next time I won a championship would be the last time Emeka/Pettit played for my team.  Not my fault nobody believed me.  I just haven't found the best way of getting rid of them yet.

Besides, I'd love to be able to say I still made the playoffs without my two best players.

[SixersGM]

disagree.

Yes, it was announced. But was it decided by the leagueGMs? Nobody believed it because it almost sounded like a joke. Its like the Lakers Dynasty of the 2000 season announcing Kobe and Shaq decided not to play the whole year.

If Nets does not want to let Petit and Oka play in his team, he needs to get rid of them instead of letting them rot in the IL. If there are no good deals for both of the guys, then they should be playing until they are traded. Putting two hall of famers in the IL is certainly not in the best interest of the league.

I also agree with your statement regarding how a play-off team the Nets team was before Kundla went down. But isn't the purpose of having a "no tanking rule" is to prevent teams from not trying to win. If your real intention is to win, then Petit and Okafor needs to be resurected from the grave.If Kundla comes back, then maybe they can go back in the IL. At the starting point of the season, nobody did complain about this thing because the Nets were still in the play-off run back then. And it is definitely not an issue, considering how competitive the team was. But now, it has turned out to be one of the worst teams in the league. When in fact, it should be the best team in the league right now.

Why this needs to get resolved? Time will come when there will be teams that will "intentionally tank" they will see this thing as a loophole. They might say "I didn't let them play because I haven't found a way of getting rid of them yet." And we dont want that to happen.

Our goal here in the sim league is to create an environment as real as possible to the real NBA. And in the real NBA, these kind of things doesn't happen.

I appreciate the announcement, I missed it though. lol.

Anyway, not sure if that was the best way to announce it.

basically, because you have 2 gifted players and sure hall of famers, and to post it on the thread of the playoffs discussion is not really the ideal way to announce it. sorry. I think announcing such move would be better off similar to the season when you almost ended up putting them on the market. yes, you announced it earlier this time, not like the one before where it caught the league by surprise, but to have the two BEST players in the league all of a sudden not playing, given their accomplishments, its more of a shock than a surprise.

thanks.

[WizardsGM]

So I take it there are no rules against purposeful tanking here?

[MagicGM]

there is a rule

created when Sixers played Michael Stewart at PG back then.

[KingsGM-old]

He's not tanking.

[SixersGM]

there is a rule

created when Sixers played Michael Stewart at PG back then.

Yeah.. He averaged something like 26ppg and 2spg back then. It was a phenomenal sim for him

[HeatGM]

i missed the announcement...nobody took it seriously back then...but i hope if we should decide in making an exception on the rules...the league should be able have a chance to vote on it...thats my opinion...

[KingsGM-old]

It's his players. Anyone has a right to do with their players whatever they want. Play them, trade them or having them on the IL, whatever.

[RaptorsGM]

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 

[NetsGM]

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.

[PacersGM]

no

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.
