[Mash]

Hey Guys, just wanted to make the offical annoucment, Bill (214_Stars) will be taking over Dallas. He has been around the fourms for a couple of weeks now and already introduced himself to community so, Id just like to congratulate him on becoming the BBKL's newest GM!

Newbie rule will be in effect, two week no trades starting today. Scott will be his newbie buddy.

Congrats and welcome to the madness bro!

considering that pick is gonna lose a spot because of GP (no chance Detroit hits the GP number) that picked isn't necessarily going to be a 2nd overall. It could very well be a 3rd. PLus if it gets bounced a spot in the lottery it could go to 4th (with it bouncing a spot because of GP) and that would mean I retain the pick.

Not to mention he still has to ship out assets to acquire a top 15 pick this year and a 2nd rounder if he wants to keep the detroit pick. It's not as simple and easy as you make it out to be.

PS. welcome to the league.

mmh... if detroit doesn't meet GP requirements who holds detroit's pick gets penalized for that?
doesn't make sense to me, i though GP penalizations were applied only to picks still possessed by the offending team..?

No, that would mean that pick is being rewarded for finishing in a certain position while not following the rules. If team A trades there pick and tanks but doesnt meet GP requirement, why should that pick still be a top pick while another team tanked fairly and legitimately?

i think detroit didn't have its 1st at the start of the season, so no reason for shoa to tank.. it's not like he won't meet the GP minimum because he was trying to tank.. and i still can't see why who acquired his pick should pay because of shoa's shortcomings, i think shoa should get his 1st available pick penalized instead; otherwise why should teams that traded their firsts care about meeting GP minimums? not sure how that's supposed to work though, maybe along with detroit's 1st shoa's pick/s are already expected be penalized as well?

[214_Stars]

Hey thanks for all the warm welcomes guys, and I gotta say I'm thankful you have the buddy system sounds like I'll be needing a couple pointers when it comes to this first time around in the off season.

-Best of luck for those who are still in the playoffs

[Scott]

Your buddy's terrible!

[Lee]

Ok, I didn't know he had not had his pick to begin year. That makes it interesting for sure. Tough one..
