trading with cpu

[NetsGM]

we could have had a situtation last year that the new LAKERsgm could have been interested in the job before the cpu took bowie with the second pick which we all agree was horrible. so now in your scenario the new gm would loose any interest because he made his decision maybe 5 hours too late and lost the chance to get MJ.

What does that have ANYTHING to do with trades?  The fact that the draft process for CPU controlled teams isn't perfect doesn't mean we shouldn't fix the trade process for CPU teams.  Allowing CPU's to trade DOESN'T FIX THE DRAFT PROCESS, it only brings one more problem to the table.  So, how does allowing CPU's to trade fix the draft process?

there is no difference between trading a guy and drafting. A human gm wouldn´t have done anything like that in 90%.

You're right.  Both need to be fixed.  Preventing one from being fixed (trades) doesn't do anything to fix the other.

And the second part of your arguments isn´t a fault of the cpu. it was miscomuncation between us. i had the information that we have no new Lakersgm and wouldn´t have in the near future.

That ignores the fact that others recommend us to prospective GM's and the myriad of other ways I person can accept where we wouldn't be able to "take the team off the market". 

if you had send me a message, i would have stopped the trade.

I didn't get his acceptance until after the trade, because I was offline.

this vote has nothing to do with a gm coming or not. just vote if you would like to trade with the cpu yes or no.

Yes.  It does.  Because trading with the CPU has consequences (like, whether a GM candidate is coming or going).

but i really doubt that is the reason.

So you think it's a coincidence that we've lost 5 LakersGM's now?

[HornetsGM]

I voted "no." Trading with the CPU causes more trouble than it's worth.

This is gone way out of hand, we're running in circles and complicating things too much IMO. I really, really doubt Lakers gave up cause he lost X guy in CPU trade. Even if that's the truth that's really a nit picking. I mean if you're interested in the league, take a challenge, you just can't quit cause of  one friggin player. If you're interested in the league that is.

I'm just sayin it's kinda stupid we're having some nice players being worthless on GM-less teams. I was always interested in Cheeks, Pressey, Kellog etc but they were never available cause a) we either had non active GM's from respective teams or b) they were useless cause we can't do the trades with CPU. It's a shame.

I say fuck it. Allow the trades. If a certain guy is interested he'll join the league anyway. And besides, Lakers situation was really coincidence. I mean, what are the next odds of a new GM joining the league at the exact same time as someone doing the deal with his future team?! From DJSL expirience it's not like we're doing the deals with CPU twice a day.

[NetsGM]

alright, let's throw that entire argument out.  Let's say the following two are true:
- The CPU will never be ripped off in a trade again.
- Nobody will ever be interested in a team again, only to have the CPU trade away some of its assets.

Let's make those two assumptions.  I believe it would be incredibly short-sighted to do so, but let's assume that.

How does that affect the CPU's (lack of) knowledge about our rules?

[KingsGM-old]

Lack of knowledge about what? Man you got tons of bad GM's outhere with no knowledge whatsoever. I mean how many times you've seen a real GM doing horrible deals, trading away good picks, trading for bad contracts, young for old?! It happens all the time! In every league!

I don't know what are you looking for? Perfection?

[NetsGM]

Lack of knowledge about what?

Uh...our salary structure?  The hard tax?  What we can do with the team bank?

Man you got tons of bad GM's outhere with no knowledge whatsoever. I mean how many times you've seen a real GM doing horrible deals, trading away good picks, trading for bad contracts, young for old?! It happens all the time! In every league!

That's fine.  But that's YOU making the decision on YOUR team affecting YOUR future.

[WizardsGM]

No. Because the CPU doesnt have a thought process. It doesnt think about cap situation, hard caps, rebuilding, values of picks or expiring contracts. Its just a random piece of equipment.

[PacersGM]

final decision no cpu trading will be allowed.

[SixersGM]

In order to make a trade. You need to have Feelings.. And CPU don't have feelings..   

[CelticsGM]

In order to make a trade. You need to have Feelings.. And CPU don't have feelings..  

but imagine how good the Kings could be if Ivan didn't trust his feelings ...
