Well, I expected more interest in this, but that's ok.

I'd like 2-3 more GMs at least. Then we can all take a second team and get started.

If we're taking on multiple teams, I'll take the Knicks as well as the Trailblazers.

Maybe people are discouraged? Last year the game got a little messy with people not answering messages or failing to comply to a guaranteed deal. Also there was some confusion whether deals were viable and the commissioner made some decisions that not everybody liked.

It's also a game that can take up some time.

Maybe a positive spirit can encourage people to play the game.

So a TP for the next guy that takes a team!

Yeah in my case it was kind of annoying because I felt I made some genius, fair trade ideas that I messaged folks about but never got a response back, even after I sent it a 2nd time.

That and to be honest I'm not a great GM LOL. I'm kind of like Gorman in that regard (apparently he never wanted to give up Jefferson for KG but obviously that looks like a no-brainer now)  :P

I personally wouldn't have made the Kyrie trade either at the time. So that's me lol.


Did you take a team yet? Give it another try?

I usually do very well each year doing this so far. I usually have a direction I want to go with a team and I get a few moves done.
