Otherwise I'd like consideration to move my roster to that salary cap!

chiming in on Dan's situation:  I am not for it.  Corey was accurate in that it would set bad precedent.  Also the implications are too large at this point in the league.  We should have no problem filling the open spots with quality gm's and they will be able to make the difficult choices to better the team, or not...that's the beauty in the league.  We have a set of circumstances that we shouldn't mess with no matter how badly we'd like to.  It would affect too many other teams realistically.  If Dan goes to NY it should be as is with no incentives.  Otherwise I'd like consideration to move my roster to that salary cap!  Who has the priority in that situation.  I'm sure many other GM's would also consider this same option and some might do it for less genuine reasons than their love for a team.

I support both of the managers nominated by Colby!

Dave (tarheels55) is in a few leagues with me.....very knowledgeable, active and seems like a great guy....id recommend him for any team or league. bigben has been active in agm.

[Colby]

No problem Dan... can't blame a Commish for trying!  With that said, we may have some replacement GMs for the Halos and Metropolitans.

Let me know your opinions on these guys.

[Dan Wood]

Colb I really do appreciate your enthusiasm but I think it is obvious that this isn't happening. I've already lowered my demands by letting go of Belt and Stewart, plus taking on all of the Reds dead money, but I'm not going any lower. Now that prospects have been completely devalued by the league, despite previously being used as currency, I am not going any further with this. I'll keep my team as is. Hopefully we can find a suitable GM to take over the team.Thanks again.

[Colby]

It will be interesting to see if Dan settles a bit on the players he wants.  For example, say a deal is made for Hamilton and Rasmus, he could always find ways to acquire other former players of his or comparable guys.

[Needle Juice]

It is just tough because there is not another GM to say that is best for the future reds.

I will take a look at the small deals, but I want to point back at some deals.  Ike Davis cost 3 top 100 picks.  Just an example of value prior to this.

I am not opposed to the idea, but I believe that it could have a very negative effect to this league because the league is representing a vacant GM spot and probably will leave at least one GM feeling it was unfair. 

[Colby]

No other teams were allowed to trade draft picks, why should it be allowed now?

I threw it out there... but I don't think we need to do that with how the five small deals are broken down.  I tried to work through them in a manner that was prioritized for Dan, so in the event it starts to break down, the later deals can be massaged.  Rob, as you and Corey have said, it is best if we do this as legitimately as possible, or it sets a bad precedent.  I am just emphatic about it because of how it improves the teams.
