The Big Mistake, Also: FA Days 1-2 Sat 7 CST Live

[Orlando Magic]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to apologize for the royal screwup that was the draft this year.

Basically, a lot of things happened:
The Draft wasn't done going into the offseason.
I did the Lottery too early, had to do it again, and screwed up everybodys picks.
I posted a draft list not indicating who had traded their picks to whom except in select cases, causing mass confusion.
I missed the draft and delayed it 3 Days.

That was probably the most horrible thing ever, and wouldn't of ever happened had I just made the file in the first place.

If you want to replace me, I have no problem with that, as this is a pretty big scandal. Still, I'd like to assure you that I'm going to keep this league going as best I can (which will be pretty darn well, now that I know the ins and outs of simming/the program).

One thing I can't do is recruiting. I can sim, manage the forum, update things, but recruiting is the one thing that I really, really suck at. Besides draft files.

So Recruiting and Draft Files are basically the 2 things I rely on the community for.

Oh, and I'll update everyones PP Accounts/Upgrades before FA Days 1-2 is done.

I sent my bids. The only way I will take back over is if a large portion of GMs think that will help the league even more then you are. If everyone is happy with how you are doing it, then you should continue on.

[Orlando Magic]

I agree.

Also: Happy Halloween!!!!

[Suns]

awesome im down for whatever !!! woohooo we are getting back on track!!!

[Trailblazers]

hopefully you get online soon, because postponing this will just continue to push people further from the league

I can't pm you so I was going to email you bids. Then I was looking at the FA's and they aren't right. If you sort by last team it isn't updated. I'm sure there is a way to see my roster last year to figure out who I can place bids on but I don't know it. I'm hoping we'll be waiting one more night for the bids..... I'm going to do my best to place some bids but it will be later tonight.

As far as I can tell they are updated if you sort by last team, or at least for me anyway. Someone may have retired of your team if they don't show up.

I'm stupid. My mistake. I must have hit NEW (Old) LBA Homepage or something. I see them and they look right.

[Orlando Magic]

OMG, my internet was out all day. Crap!

[Heat]

So is FA today or later.

[Orlando Magic]

I'm not sure, I don't have a lot of bids, guys....

[Orlando Magic]

Right now I have 9 bids, plus mine, which is 10. I suppose I can do it tomorrow. A lot of bids came in post-deadline, so I'm glad I waited.

[Timberwolves]

just emailed sorry i havent been home all weekend

[Commish]

You should have had mine via email.

[Orlando Magic]

Now I'm up to 12 bids. I think I'll do FA in a couple of hours.
