I finally realized what I need to do to make peace with everything and everyone and to be happy and have enough time for other things that I could not do before I retired earlier and the last month since I returned. I am officially done with all transactions related stuff including trade PMs and everything else. I realize that leaves very little to do but I am fine with that and I am still very much interested in staying around to post in the off-topic section, make bets, talk about real life NBA, make non funny comments or help with non transactions related stuff.
I understand making a post like this is 100% egocentric like if I want to not talk trades again I should just go ahead and do it instead of announcing it but without this post I would end up doing what I always do so yes, that's about it.

Dude c'mon
Your a big part of the league #1 and you always take things to this point bro.
Their are 30 or 31 of us and we all have different opinions, wants, directions.
You can't live life getting frustrated and giving up or retiring. Your better than that and honestly damn what Steve says, you shouldn't take it so personal it's just his opinion - 1 of 30
You basically are the assistant gm of the Mavs so imo u should be trying to get Mavs the best deal possible, and you also try to help other teams as well! You've tried helping me as well I just had a different agenda but that's good, that's what makes this league fun. I know it's frustrating but you can't retire/step down every time someone says something negative to you know matter what it is Kong! Your a good person and the comments are related to trades bro, not your dedication or exceptional skills putting some hard trades together!
Steve and I get into all the time but we can also get on the same page it's give and take and I have learned to take the bad with the good and I know you know this deep down about the league.
Being such a stupid condisending prick for my 1st year and change actually taught me about letting things roll and having a sense of humor about people's opinions here and yeah it sucks getting dragged through the Mudd in trade reviews
I still get my named tossed in trades that I'm not even apart of or told I don't know what I'm doing etc
I say whatever to that and it rolls of my back now
I wasted so long being mad and fighting with people on trade reviews, and fighting with are commissioner that I almost lost my job when all I had to do was calm down and focus on me and Minny and damn what anyone else says or thinks
If a trade goes through great, if not oh well but I don't take it personally no more
Everyone knows I was cool with penny, but after seeing his comments towards Billy it really made me take a hard look at how I acted towards people that were ragging me out for trading like a little bitch and they were mostly right with all of it! So I guess the point is if I can learn to reform, you can look past negative comments from trade reviews
But please stop retiring/quiting bc of it bc that's your integrity and character and I hate to see people do this bc when the going gets hard you work it harder and faster not retire. You got this Kong just hang in their brother u do a fantastic job at what you do!

People get mad because they care.
30/30 GMs like you, Kong.

I also retire.
I have no idea what I'm doing now that I'm supposed to actually compete.
Good luck.

I also retire. I have no idea what I'm doing now that I'm supposed to actually compete. Good luck. Wait, what? First of all... You’re not supposed to compete? Your best player besides Doncic + Zion is Gasol, who is simultaneously tradeable and probably not a difference maker on his own. If you wanted to compete you definitely could, but I don’t think you HAVE to by any means. Second of all, a new challenge isn’t a reason to retire unless you’re just tired of the league anyway. There are plenty of GMs that would be happy to help you out, and surely you’ve learned enough with/from Kong that you’re capable of carrying on *if* he doesn’t come back. Come on, man. |

We need a drama tracker for this season, it's eerily becoming like the NBA IRL 😂

I'll take the Dallas Mavericks Are they open? I haven't opened them yet, no. It's likely that the GM of Golden State or Miami won't show up again and you could grab them soon. I typically give GMs who quit a few days to change their mind, they typically do. |
