It wouldn't be a bad idea to give Kareem a trade buddy. Value/trading has changed since he left; you can no longer overpay for a player and expect the same in return.Shoalzie wroteCOLONIf past GMs want to come back after some time has past...I think we'd be silly not to consider them. They don't need learn the ropes, just jump in and get involved.
I think that's an awful idea.thom54 wroteCOLONI say Paul should be his trade advisor
Honestly, I don't know that much has changed. I'm not going to be as passionate as I used to be because I don't have the same time or interest, and anyone expecting that will be disappointed. I'm really just looking for a fun league to join without having to commit too much time beyond the minimum (updating rosters and making the occasional trade), if that isn't what you guys are looking fair it's completely understandable, but I don't want to rejoin on false pretenses.kyuss wroteCOLONwhat follows is from Kareem's (last) resignation post http://bbkl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11258#p184468this is not to point out that he didn't expect the league would let him back another time, rather to wonder what is different this time around with reference to the bolded part.MSP4LYFE wroteCOLONIt is with great sadness and regret that I must inform you of my decision to resign as General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks, effective immediately. I respect this league, and value it's members, and it is for that reason that I am electing to resign.
I re-entered this league with the intention of picking up where I left off, however, I have been unable to regain the same interest level that made me a valuable, albeit controversial member of BBKL. My decision goes beyond commitments to work and extracurricular activities, the passion that I once had for this league is gone, and I can't seem to regain it. I'm sure this must seem like a rash decision, but I assure you that that this decision was not made in haste, I have spent the better part of the past year considering resignation, but held off for fear of doing something I may regret. The truth is that I was more afraid to lose my position in BBKL than I was excited to be apart of it. It's really telling when simply logging onto BBKL feels like a chore rather than a fun past-time, and that is how it's felt for a while now. It never used to be this way, which is why my activity and productivity has fallen off a cliff. This league can do better, and it deserves better.
I understand that by resigning for the umpteenth time that I will never be granted entry back into this league, and I have taken that into strong consideration. If at all possible, I would like to remain an active member of this forum, but understand if that is not possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for respecting my wishes, and best of luck moving forward. I'd also like to thank Nick personally for vouching for me this entire time, it couldn't have been easy given my non-activity. I'm sorry I couldn't have rewarded your confidence, just know that I tried too renew my passion for BBKL, I really, really tried... If any of you have any further questions, I am happy to answer them.
That's something we would like to hear about from him

If I get a team, I would probably do that.Lee wroteCOLONI'd be willing to swap teams if interested, Kareem. Would rather rebuild.
