Harlem sends:
Dikembe Mutombo
Greg Anderson
London sends:
Thurl Bailey
Laphonso Ellis
Vernon Maxwell
Matt Geiger
I gave all the options that might apply and one that doesn't quite fit...I'll let you figure it out.

Ridiculous.

Does it rhyme with "ape"?
This trade is terrible. Wish the new GM had asked around value on this cause every one of those guys he got are worth 2nd round picks at best not a franchise altering center. You'd think the commish would be slightly looking out for new GMs sometimes but not when they are profiting this much...

I'm less concerned about who took the new guy for a ride and more concerned that he got rolled...do these guys not ask for advice? Who are they consulting that says "an expiring Thurl for Dikembe coming off a great rookie year? SIGN ME UP!". |

That or an appointed 1 person committee trade consultant like NY or something? |

The upside to that might be the fact that guys can't come in torch the place and leave in 48 hours. We've had a few guys recently bow out before their window was up and that may have saved franchise changing deals from being made. |

Find someone on the committee to pair with the new GM and let him help him for a season. If those two wanna make a trade just have any other committee member sign off on it (except for Craig  ) |

Or did they bow out because they weren't able to do anything for a week? That week has yet to stop anyone from making a bad first deal...I'm as anti-trade committee as anyone, but I'd vote for a trade review of all new GMs trades for the first season. |

I like Londons idea, I'd be on board with Albas idea but would the review be able to be done quick enough to process the trade then just having a one man committee to run ideas by

I'll be honest - not one of the GMs told me on their way out that the Trade Window had anything to do with it. I tell people in my first PM to them after they accept the job about the Trade Window and they are always like "Ok, cool." It could be detracting from their involvement/enjoyment of the league but I haven't heard it that way yet. Maybe someone else has? |

Just make me the trade czar, I am beyond active and won't hold up any trades that are not worthy of being upheld.

Not even a trade block on Deke or something? Really? Well my fault for stupidly not inquiring before this happened.

Well, I guess it's time for me to hit-up Boston and CSKA for all their best players.....wait, they would be like my 15th man. shit. Time to rethink my plan of attack. |

None of these guys ever do a thing Dude, Daniels sucked. And the main reason yours was the worst was that you recruited the guy and immediately screwed his franchise |

And the main reason yours was the worst was that you recruited the guy and immediately screwed his franchise Look at the numbers daniels averaged 18ppg 7 rebounds the year moscow got hi.. worthy has never been close.. what killed moscoe were the deals after that one where he got little to nothing for multiple moscow firsts, took bad contracts etc etc. |
