Who do I think I should replace? Corey. The addition of Spivey was a good complimentary piece but it didn't put his team anywhere other than a first round exit for this year in the weaker conference.

I'd mention that the draft and trades therein count in this too, but GM of the Year and the arguments that sprout up around it are both annoying and pointless.

GMs shouldn't be measured on year increments. Teams ebb and flow. Teams contain multitudes.

My apologies, I can't believe I ever forgot the absolutely fleecing you did on KK to obtain the #4 pick. My apologies. I think that trade helps you but personally, I would have went with Oscar + Lenny with 1 & 4. A lineup of Lenny, Oscar and Baylor is a nightmare. I'm just not as big a Lucas fan and I think this is another reason why it's still hard to gauge where you stand in these type of rankings.

[Bayi]

I think we'll find that the Oscar/West and Lucas/Lenny decisions were matters of personal style. With players at the level we had in that draft, the only wrong decisions would be drafting Hondo first or letting Lucas/Wilkens slip past 5.

[Drew]

Can we institute a Worst GM of the year award as well?

Its totally in the league's spirit, and I think it would help light a fire under some people's asses. Come on committee.

[London]

LOL - youre right, Drew. I'd support that.

Give them a title they need to have under their name for a full season

Anyone else?

[Phil Jackson]

I'd support worst gm of the year.

[Derek]

I agree with these 3 posts. Poor KK.

[London]

We should looking into naming rights.

Nadir Award
aflag memorial trophy
Ndudi Ebi Award for Excellence

Something...

[London]

The Isaiah.

[Derek]

Isaiah Thomas GM Trophy

[Drew]

+1 for the Isaiah Award

[Los Angeles]

Maybe even a punishment too

New guy comes in swinging for the fences.

[Sydney]

Isiah Award hands down......they must draft relatively decent though in order to be considered for this.

Oh please.

My place in this league is firmly planted.  Any 'punishment' would be in the form of mocking and being made fun of.  To lose PP or picks?  I'd quit on the spot.

I nominate it to be called KK's Award!

[London]

Personally, I think the dunce cap and embarrassment is enough punishment

How about having the roster they have... what's worse than that?

[Los Angeles]

I wasnt saying in the form of losing picks or PPs meant more having to put something in their signature or something embarrassing for the season

Like... per London, "Give them a title they need to have under their name for a full season "

[Los Angeles]

This league should be renamed The Real Housewives of the ABCA with all the drama that goes on here

How's that punishment?  I'd flaunt such a signature like the little slut I am.

He's a really good GM actually. Was in AvN from the beginning. Plus, don't tell me you don't like seeing established members get poked. LOL

I think what Drew means is that his post seemed a bit "out of nowhere" since the conversation/thread didn't seemed to be filled with drama. (I kinda think we were being collaborative.)

Perhaps it felt like he was trying to instigate an argument for no reason.

Yup what London said.

I think anyone who knows me from past ABCA's knows I'm an easy going guy.  But when I see a new guy come in with this kind of bravado, trying to start drama it rubs me the wrong way.

All the respect in the world to Roark and AVN but tbh success in that means nothing to me.  All Cordoba's done so far is make a one sided trade for Howell (in my opinion.)  

Anyways its all good, I could use a good rival.

And you actually liked me? Hmmmm. Nice! He is always in the Skype room too... might have something to do with that comment. Lol
