What move do you regret?

What move that you made, or did not make, do you regret the most?

2001 NBA Draft.
I won picks #3 and #4 but i traded them for Shawn Marion and a pick that turned to be Jason Richardson. Marion is a journeyman in our simulated world and Richardson cant guard a chair. I couldve taken Gilbert Arenas and Joe Johnson had i stood pat and added them to Dirk.

oh god.. I'm sorry.

For me it's not resigning Stephen Jackson.

As commish I have an advantage in that I know what others are offering in FA, but I like to get my own number and not go above that. Tray offered a whole lot more than I did and signed SJax. A season later he's averaging 27 a game.

Andre Miller. I'm not full on regret yet, but I scared myself into thinking that was the contract I needed to offer. There was too much time between the end of the season and that signing for me to sit and stew on it.

Mine would be breaking up the grant hill and Shaq duo before getting much talent around them. Shaqs cap figure was crippling for new talent though. With him and hill I was like 5 mill off the threshold. It was MLE or bust.

Another regret was signing Eric Snow to that contract extension. I probably should be more patient in general w my teams.

I don't fully regret Iverson yet, but I'll revisit that for next season.

I do however regret not tacking on the 12.5% for Fortson. Him and Iverson were beasts on my team, and I let him go largely because of a stupid mistake. Gave up the only upside to having his bird years.

Getting in a bidding war for Etan Thomas.

Trading away Kelvin Cato and Brent Barry for draft picks after the first season.

Trying to make Wally Z a full-time starting forward.

I do not regret anything yet. I have been a masterful GM thus far. ;)

Drafting Chauncey in the first round of the original sim. He should have been a third round pick and if I had drafted miller or Brandon, Im pretty sure I would have won 2 championships in the first couple years.. Instead I had to start speedy Claxton and my team couldn't go far in the playoffs.

I thought your biggest regret would be booting Nolaslim from the league :hihi:

Had to show my power.

He told me how terrible of a decision it was to draft webber over and over then if I gave him more picks in original draft and my first rounder for next year hed giveme dirk to help me correct my mistake.

I'm guessing I regret Eddie Jones but at the time I thought I'd be able to go over the cap to resign Marshall and after signing BD I nearly executed my FA plan to perfection after winning the title unfortunately I was the example to learn from about rejecting offers and bird rights.

Don't really have regrets, I feel like I've put a lot of thought into my moves and for the most part they've worked out, and the ones that didn't were miniscule and don't matter. One thing I always wondered about is if I had kept Baron Davis from the original draft. Me and BSH already had struck deals and decided to stick to them, but Baron Davis was the next guy on my list. He ended up taking him with my pick, and it's just one of those things I always wondered how Brand and Davis would have been together. It ended up working out though, got Jamison who underperformed until he was traded to PHX and got Zo in return which has worked out pretty well so far

Lol I know, but my team was so good without a point guard, so if I drafted Brandon, I feel like I could have dropped a 60 win season.

Not really. I'm actually impressed with the moves you made. I remember your first season. I was dying to get Jamison at SF from you to join Sheed and Cassell. I tried hard too offering Brad Miller, Mobley, and 2 1st round picks. You made the smart move getting Zo. How'd you get Brand?

25th pick in the original draft

Oh ok.

My original draft was pretty good. Got alot of good veterans. I didn't even look at the ratings. I strictly went by the actual win shares of those players in the 2000-2001 season. Worked out well that season until Sheed broke his wrist right before the playoffs started. That team was one perimeter scoring from making a championship run. Sigh, good times.

Three words.

Stro. Mile. Swift.

Whoa whoa that was Zack Moore, it clearly states it at the bottom, not LoCo, devilishly handsome and successful(ish) GM of the Memphis Grizzlies. But I can see the confusion lol

Since you're bringing this up, if anyone has any ideas for articles they want done for their team, I may be interested in doing more of these longish types of articles if possible. Just want ideas and inputs from other GMs to make it more collaborative. I'm also thinking about doing a fictional story on how we ended with this league (ex: total collapse of the actual NBA leads to formation of HRFBB version of the League) for ****s and giggles but thats just more of a hobby piece

I was thinking about a State of the League address. With the new additions we are so much better off than we were even 3 months ago.

I don't think I really have any moves I regret. All the crappy moves I've made have led to another move somehow which lead to the team I have now. But I guess giving up on Michael Finley. I tried to go younger via Terry and he ended up walking. Meanwhile Finley continued to put up 18-20ppg

I'm already regretting trading for Sprewell and Wallace. Saving graces = tony Allen and 07 warriors pick (and the fact sprewell may retire... Fingers crossed). Wallace has been a fouling machine.

Trading Jamison for next to nothing and tanking.

The Atlantic division regrets you doing this too

I have signed probably the 3 worst contracts in the game... Courtney Alexander, Ernest brown and latrell Sprewe but i ended up being able to trade all of them and get some pretty good value in return all while guiding my team to 2 straight WCFs

Nah, I went to him. After we couldn't get something done for Finley, I got desperate thinking I had to make a move to keep up with the Jones's.... when in fact, I was the Jones that everyone was trying to keep up with. I rushed to make a move and know next time to not **** with **** when it's not broken.

I sort of regret not trading Finley, but I didn't want to start trading pieces like I'm the lakers.

Yeah because the 2 seed is a terrible spot to be in.

Never said it wasn't, but you trade like HornetsGuru is running the team. TRADES TRADES and MORE TRADES!!!

:hihi:

So? Ended up in a good spot with TRADES TRADES TRADES. If the end result was a result of the path that it took to get there, why criticize the means that it took to get there unless you're criticizing to criticize.

Because that's not how I plan to build my team. This was about finley, and I simply stated I wasn't going to make 5 trades a season, like you do, so I kept finley.

But it was one trade, not 5. I had nothing to do with the conversation at all. If it were just about Finley, you would have kept it about Finley .. You just took a shot to take a shot. Why dress it up as something else ?

No offense, but I count 4 trades from Feb. to now. I'm leaving it at that before it escalates into something personal, which is where I think you are going with this.

I'm talking about your trade of Finley would have been one, not 5 trades. So it had nothing to do with me.

Also, I didn't take it anywhere, you willingly brought me into the conversation. Then compared me to guru which im sure was to take another shot which is fine. You've taken the all the shots here, not me.

I've said nothing about you or your management style, sir. And honestly I'm fine with people not liking how I run my team. I think you're a good guy, but if you bring me into a conversation, don't be surprise if I join in said conversation.

Blazers-Lakers rivalry heating up!

I love the banter gentlemen, keep it up!

*****es going off this like some mortal know at **** bros. I'm drunk 😨

Kombat

Cavalier suck. Tim Duncan is a gay

😊

I regret never Drunk posting in the sim League. It looks like fun!


Lakers do trade a lot, that is fact. Having their first rounder, I was openly rooting for it to blow up in his face, but he's too good to let that happen.
