Um...this isn't a joke. This is HornetsGM from RBSL. I have no affiliation with the Nets anymore.

I have decided to step down as GM of the Nets. My goal is not to win. In fact, I don't want to win. My 'goals' in coming years would be to get really, really bad, then try to work my way into the playoffs. I had absolutely no interest in serious contention because I'm commish of the league. And it's not right to have a GM who's goal isn't to win.
So I'm stepping down as GM, this is my replacement. I will continue to be commish of this league. Now we don't have to worry about me hand-making drafts and knowing potentials. Don't have to worry about me knowing the potential when someone else buys it. There's no questions of legitimacy and unfair advantage. Everyone's on a level playing field.
It just means I'm going to have to try extra hard in DJSL.

Hey guys, and thanks for the welcome Derek.
I know that I'll have a hard time following up on the Nets success here, but I will do what I can to make them the best team I can. As mentionned, The RSBL has been running for three seasons, and I've had mixed success taking over a bad team. I had a predictably bad team the first year, an injury plagued but playoff year and a solid record this past season in a strong division as we enter into our playoffs. I am generally known there as an active guy, frequent trader and pretty much a draft junkie.
Having lurked this league for the past handful of days, I can see that this is a knowledgeable, active and competitive group. I'm looking forward to being part of things.

Ditto.. Bods, are you sure of your decision? We have the best sim league right here. If you're going to join a sim league, you better join this one. Thats why this is the only league I joined.

Wow. So Bods, you are going to just continue on as the commish? That's never gonna work...how can you possibly remain interested enough in the league to do all that work and not reap any benefits?
I think more than anything we may need to start over...I love that you're willing to tackle such a feat, but I just can't see it working out.

well i don't think it calls for a starting over, that's unfair considering teams are all at different stages of development and a lot of work has gone to get each team to its current standing, for instance we're finally seeing the hawks perk up a little (at least on paper) and after another lottery pick and a year of development for larry bird, the knicks could start competing as well.
Also a lot of old successful teams and their stars are getting older and so we're at an interesting crossroads as the retro drafts continue to filter into this league, a lot of interesting things could happen in this leagues next 5 years as well as the excitement of teams getting to develop the greats that were played out before our time.
I trust Bods will take care of the league, and if not there's someone in this league with the know-how to carry this league on

Thanks for the vote of confidence.....
When i started this league, I ran one league (SSBA) and played in one league (SSBA). Now I run one league (SSBA) and play in one league (DJSL). It's not much difference. If I stop doing SSBA, Celtics will kick me out of DJSL. That's a pre-arrainged agreement we have.
And yes, I've thought this through. This was something I was considering doing after winning my 2nd championship. I've been thinking about it for quite some time. I wholeheartedly believe that having a commish who's not a member of the league is best for the league.
