We need GM voted league awards, for MVP, DPOY, All-Nba, etc...
I think the Basketball GM league file we have is a bit bugged so for some players in their stats it says they've already played 82+ games (using last season's stats) despite it being only 1/4 into the season. This is why offensive/defensive win shares are all messed up in the game cause it counts like 164 games instead of 82 I think. It messes the player's stats so it's hard to see what their true stats are, this is where the GM voted awards come in. The GMs in the league send in their ballots for each player (they can't vote their own) and decide the player awards, instead of the game deciding.
This could replace the game's way of selecting the awards or just be it's own seperate thing just for fun.

suggestion that all players who missed 15 consecutive games be removed from the Sim the following day and should continue to miss games until the player returns in real life. (number of missed of games in sim should still match the number of games missed in real life)

We should start requiring teams over a certain cap number to prove that trades don't put them over (or further over) the hard cap.

Any new idea on how we should deal with injuries? Currently, billy changed it from 15 games to 25, and we usually apply the time missed by the player on the game day.

billy i had an idea in mind.How about the way to solve the ratings issue is that you can request a rebuild for a player by spending a certain amount of Billy bucks?You can set that amount a bit high so that there arent many rebuilds

I have a suggestion for the luxury tax rule.
How about instead of having a fixed cap hold as luxury tax why dont we use the NBA rule of having to pay 1.5 times the difference between our payroll and the luxury tax line
Instead of 'paying' this tax ,we can put this amount as cap hold for the next season.
I propose this rule change because I dont think it makes sense that a team 1 mil over tax will have the same cap hold as the team 15 mil over the tax.
I gather from the existing rules that we don't want teams to dip in the luxury tax for many seasons .Hence,to solve this problem with the rule i proposed is to have the tax as 1.5 times in the first year,3 times in the second year ,4.5 times in the third year.
If this seems like the tax amount will be really less, then this number of times can be changed but i feel this should be a percentage of how much you are over the tax rather than having a fixed cap hold for every luxury tax payer

Activity check
When a GM goes missing for over 10 days without notice, he start missing x Billy Bucks for each extra day that he was gone. Those Billy Bucks would be distributed to the rest of the GMs proportionally and for simplicity those would be accounted the moment the GM returns or at the start of the month or something like that.

billy Allan Houston I would like to suggest that all trade transactions, after the regular season but not before free agency, use the salaries for the following year. Also, these trades shall be held to queue until the end of the playoffs.

Also, these trades shall be held to queue until the end of the playoffs. Honestly from my experience in here from the last 3 years some of the biggest situations that we had came from a bunch of queued trades that had to be rejected after being accepted because of some small detail. So personally, I don't have an issue with how we do things now plus it gives non playoffs GMs incentives to stay active. I do feel though that it shouldn't be allowed to trade players that are retiring.

I was under impression that expiring dead money is treated the same way as expiring contracts, and could not be traded after the initial deadline for expiring? But seems like it's allowed?

(In-Game Date) Day 75: Trade Deadline for all players with expiring contracts. No expiring players can be traded. This does not include dead money contracts.
This line states that the Trade deadline for expiring contracts does not include dead money contracts.So this shows that trading of expiring dead money is allowed. I hope this answers your query

I agree that firing seems harsh but I doubt any GM who doesnt even accept or reject his trade would care about Billy Bucks and the 1 week ban from trading probably wouldnt even matter to him

Anyone else interested in implementing something like the TPE here? Might be excessive since we already have dead money, but big contracts get shipped out all the time without much roster benefit on the other end.

suggestion that all players who missed 15 consecutive games be removed from the Sim the following day and should continue to miss games until the player returns in real life. (number of missed of games in sim should still match the number of games missed in real life) doubling down on this suggestion. Makes for easier monitoring. To illustrate: If Player A miss 20 consecutive games in real life, he will immediately be removed from the Sim. Player A: NBA: Missed 20th consecutive game on Game 41. D720: Should miss the following Sim game up to the total consecutive games he misses in the NBA.

I suggest liberalizing 1st rd draft protections.
Let teams protect at any number. But make conveyance contingencies only applicable for 1 year, after which it converts to the 2 most recent 2nds.
Practically, let's say I trade to team X my 2020 1st, top 20 protected. Converts to top 10 in 2021. On the sheet, then, my 2020 1st will say something like X20. Then, there's either a Sheets comment indicating the conveyance, or some clear indication like X20>10. As for conversion to the two 2nds, there's the issue of if I already traded all my available 2nds. Just extend the date range in those cases, using comments or some notation.
Could also consider accommodating reverse protections, or even two-sided ones.

I have been rather negative lately so I figured I should propose an interesting idea to the league to compensate for all that negativity. This isn't exactly my idea actually but I will describe it with a bit more of a format that would fit in D720. I took it from elsewhere. Doesn't really matter where.
We need to do Press Conferences that would go in the Media Center. That's the basic idea.
Now goes my explanation on how it works, my proposed formatting and why I think it is perfect for D720.
About how it works, it is rather simple. You as GM start a thread in the media center called "Invented Team Press Conference" and say something like "Ask me questions" or whatever. You can also put a bit of introduction if you want. That's up to you. Then, other GMs come in, make questions and you answer.
That's the basic idea.
About the formatting, I think Press Conferences should be limited up to 5 days and 1 question per GM. You don't want it to be a 1 on 1 between 2 GMs, LOL. About the 5 days, that would be the limit for people to ask questions. Then, there is an extra day for the GM to answer questions that were left with no answer.
After the press conference is finished, it is closed and Billy bucks are determined. Billy Bucks would go like this. Each GM that asked a question gets an x amount of bucks. Then the GM that answered them gets an y amount for each question answered. I would proposed how many Bucks should be offered but can't remember the scales.
About the reasoning on why this would be perfect for D720 it is the following.
Articles are fun but they are hard to put up and it is even harder to get too many people involved. I tried to encourage people to write more by posting my own staff and Billy also offered Billy Bucks incentives but that hardly put things in motion.
Press conferences on the other hand are extremely easy to set up (you only need to start a thread) and they are easier to get done than an article because you can do it in modules with each module being a question answered. Also, conferences can become pretty dynamic and fun for both the GM asking as the ones answering the questions. And finally, it is a good and simple way for GMs to get bucks while putting up interesting material.
Alright, there you go. I hope that positivity is enough to neutralize the previous negativity. Really think this would be a good idea that should be implement immediately. Pretty sure it would give an instant boost to the Media Center.
Edit:
To add a bit more to the idea, where I found it they have it separated from articles. On the one side that's add another board but it prevents articles from getting lost. Once you start doing press conferences, it can be expected to have more conferences than articles. I guess an optimum solution would be to start a sub board for Press Conferences.
Also, you might want to limit one team conference per month or else it could get a bit mono thematic. Otherwise, Some GMs might start conferences constantly for the bucks. I would say 1 month is a good number. And it would help too to limit the number of simultaneous conferences up to 5 although that would require some extra monitoring work. But ideally you don't want all of them coming at the same time.
A good solution to both of them would be to have a Press Conference schedule. You have 30 teams. So that's 1 day per team to start a conference. If you miss your day you lose your opportunity and the bucks related to it. And that schedule works as in a cycle so you know that once every 30 days you can start a press conference. And since it is tabbed then, it also comes free the ending time of each conference (the 5 days I mentioned).
I am willing to help get this implemented if interested. With the cycle thing I mentioned it should be fairly easy. GMs close their conferences as well and claim their points knowing that if they extend over the 5 days they don't get extra bucks for those days.
2nd Edit:
About the schedule I proposed I said teams would have 1 day assigned to start the conference that would last 1 day. I guess they should be allowed as well to start it the day after if they barely missed it but in that case they would have 1 less day for question meaning that original finish date would remain the same.

tl;dr: FORMAT:Each GM can ask up to two questions. You can PM them to the conference giver, or ask them in the thread. After five (5) days, they will answer them publically in this thread. People can then vote on how much people who asked/answered questions can receive. Feel free to start your own press conference as well.

sounds good. And add the schedule I proposed to it (if you want of course, ha). That I didn't see it elsewhere but I think it should be a good solution to put a bit of order to things without needing someone to keep track of everything. or do it a bit more flexible. A flexible schedule would look as follows: Group 1: Day 1-5
Hawks, Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Bulls
Group 2: Day 6-10
Cavaliers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Pistons, Warriors
Group 3: Day 11-15
Rockets, Pacers, Clippers, Lakers, Grizzlies
Group 4: Day 16-20
Heat, Bucks, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Knicks
Group 5: Day 21-25
Thunder, Magic, 76ers, Suns, TrailBlazers
Group 6: Day 26-30
Kings, Spurs, Raptors, Jazz, Wizards
Then, Bulls for example would have from 1 to 5 to start a conference. After day 30 it gets restarted.
The schedule is optional though. I could see why some would not want it. Main thing is implementing the conferences, ha.
