Replacement needed.

[Steve Kerr]

I am very sorry guys, but I really believe this league will be better of with you replacing me. I have tried very hard the last few days to understand the workings here, however I have not been successful. It seems to me that you really need to be more of a computer whiz than actually have any knowledge of the value of basketball players. Whenever I click or copy any links here all I get is bunch of gibberish, I am not a computer whiz - far from it, but it seems to me to be the major requirement here in order to compete effectively. I am sorry to have wasted your time, but I will of course take care of the GSW franchise  to the best of my ability until you have found a suitable replacement. Again I am sorry to have wasted your time - and I wish you all  good luck in the future with your league and fantasy sport in general.  

[Paul Pierce]

i am awful with computers lol, all that matters is your knowledge of the nba

[Steve Kerr]

Sorry guys - I feel like a frigging idiot every time I either click on some link or try to copy and paste to put into my browser I get nothing but a bunch of gibberish.

[Steve Kerr]

Sorry guys - I am sure I overreacted last evening as I was extremely frustrated, and it has so far bothered me all night. I will try to take the advise Lebron was once given - "shut up and dribble" again please forgive me and my apologies - I am certain this is a great league and I ought to be able to handle the intrici's of this league.

you don’t need to rush, brother. Take your time and relax. Don’t pressure yourself. You’re still in the learning phase and you’ll be better.
From my experience, people who tend to ask questions learn faster and most likely will succeed with his team. We’re also pretty aligned with the NBA, though we simplified some aspect of it (e.g. Draft Picks, Contracts).
If you’re having trouble with the game engine and league file, do not hesitate to ask.

You are probably talking about the dynasty720.proboards.com/thread/7746/playoff-ratings thread.

Dealing with league files can be tricky since if you just double click and open it up it looks like code (that probably only small part of GM's here really even understand)

But if you just download the file and open it up with basketball-gm custom league like the other league files, it will be simple

But don't worry really.You could be a good GM here by never even checking anything with the player rankings or doing the simulations yourself in BB-GM. If you know basketball and trade/draft/sign for guys you like, that will be fine

Going to echo what Teddy and Pete said - I've never once ran my own BBGM sims (only did once for our fantasy season) and never base my evaluations of players on BBGM attributes. Yes, maybe that puts me at a disadvantage because I don't know "who's good in the sim" but that's how I have fun and like to play. So don't be discouraged!

Actually if you ask me I would say guys in disadvantage are those that trade based on sim ratings rather than real life performances because sim ratings sometimes go behind real life performances but at the end real life is what matters.

And yes, most great GMs hardly care about sim ratings.

[Jackie Kong]

And I recall a bunch of times some guys traded for players based on sim ratings only to figure weeks later that the player would be updated to his real life true form. And then, they would go on to complain about it but at the end they just have to accept it because you are supposed to trade based on perceived real life value for the most part.

^ This is the same reason why trades do not contain ratings.

You're not allowed to quit Steve!

OK - I will try to behave myself and be a good boy. I do however have bit of a small problem, I now notice that all of s sudden WCS has a NO TRADE contract, I am positive when I was first invited to look at the Warriors' rooster, that was not the case. First when I looked I thought this was an OK roster, however it did have a bit of a cap problem, and it definitely had one guy on the roster I did not care for. Well not too bad I will use my one time amnesty, now it turns out that through some odd problems, that of course all of you are more familiar with than I am - I was prohibited from using that amnesty by rule. Well OK I though it is what it is, so I will move on to trade him, now i see that he all of a sudden has obtained a NO TRADE clause. This is not getting easier and I was wondering is that the kind of test you put all newcomers through just to see what they are made off.

On a bit of a side note, how in the world does a player of WCS stature obtain a NO TRADE clause and also a promise to be a starter, I do recognize that the promise to start is not a legal obligation, however the NO TRADE clause is. Players of his stature do not normally attract that kind of contract even if you were to look back to his hay days in Sacramento - coming out of rookie contract that would most likely never be given unless you are a player of Doncic or like status. Quite a selling job Billy, am not sure I would have matched that contract - smile.

I vote Steve gets his amnesty

I can't believe WCS got a NTC lol can he at least waive that?

but this not billy being a bad guy. They don't get it because Warriors already used it this season. I mean, this is exactly the same thing that happened to Nino Brown last year and he wasn't allowed to have one because Michael Jordan used it earlier. Amnesty is really supposed to be an exceptional thing and even if it wasn't used before sometimes new GMs don't get it. Like John Stockton wouldn't get one when he got the Hawks because he is experienced enough not to get one or I didn't get one when I run the 76ers. And I get Steve Kerr is not experienced but a team is not supposed to use 2 amnesties in one season.

Edit: I do agree though it would be fine to maybe eliminate the NTC. If you ask me, he would not used it anyway if he is traded. Like he is not starting for Warriors and they now have a GM other than the one that matched that contract. So maybe, if this was real life maybe WCS would accept it.

i think you can expect that from someone whose 2nd name is Trill. jk.

[Steve Kerr]

Look I am absolutely not looking for anything, all I was doing was expressing my feelings. I was simply stating that when I first looked at the Warriors roster WCS DID NOT have a NO TRADE contract, why that was I have no idea, maybe it was a mistake it really does not matter, all I was saying is the fact that you have certainly not made it easier for a newcomer. I will deal with it - I am NOT looking for special treatment, if I in the end have to swallow WCS's contract I will do so.

Honestly I do not think WCS NTC would be a big issue since imo he is likely to waive his NTC if he gets more PT than your roster.Since he is not starting for you that should not be tough

Penny Hardaway boy you need to answer this lololol

Steve Kerr first of all, I would like to extend my apologies. This is my fault.

A couple of days ago, I noticed the NTC in WCS’s contract so I changed it through the google sheets on my phone. However, it did not update immediately. Yesterday, I opened the app again, probably resulting to the update on WCS’s contract.
I am so sorry for this mishap, it is not my intention to confuse anyone. I would say I failed to notify everyone with the correction just like what I did to Giannis’s contract.
Again, I am sorry.

As Warriors gm we had searched out for a C that was defensive and got tired or searching and without assets or really even cap we knew losing WCS was more then what it seems to our makeup and so we offered a ntc knowing we wouldn't even want to trade him as long as he stayed the same but we.figure he would improve under carlise if he stays in Dallas or 2 any other team  would improve him over what Sacramento did  but what we were locking him down for was what this team needed next to a Randle.


As far as the NTC now we kinda already have a trade in works to aquire WCS and he shouldn't use his ntc as we see the same fit for him on our team it as I was the GM the he signed his contract with.
