Welcome to the hot seat bitches!! Today we are joined by GM of the Orlando Magic, Habes.
Let's talk about your team. You made some big moves right before the deadline to acquire brock, maximov, and tate. Why did the moves come at that time and not earlier? and how far do you see your team going?
I'm pathetic at rebuilding because I have no patience and make all my moves on a whim. I was so tired of guys like Ruslan, Larue and Henderson because they didn't sim well and I felt like it was a guessing game. The Contract Year was coming and I felt my team just looked pretty pathetic. I tried to get my pick back from Galo but talking trade with him is how I imagine cutting my dick off would feel. So I did my best to cash in on my prospects. Getting Tate was huge because I thought I locked up 40. Then Mark deals for Brock and is trying to convince me to do Larue for Brock, and I was like, the only way I'd do that is if I can spin Percy for someone like Bak. Well, Ashes is 100% set on becoming irrelevant and mediocre instead of swallowing his pride and rebuilding (lolz, lighten up!), so I thought I'd just wait on my youth until better deals came. Then Dash PM'd me asking for Larue+Percy for Maximov and I was all prickly and he decided he'd do Percy for Maximov, so it was kind of just a perfect set of deals.
I'm really excited about this team! I never wanted to be in my Contract Year, but I don't know how to handle a rebuild so here I am. That's why I made the deals so late--it was borderline panic mode, only my youth was enticing and guys were rebuilding so I got some great players. I think this team is as good as any team out there. I don't think Milwaukee is as good as everyone says they are, especially because I think my team matches up well with them. I think Philly is better than we are. I think the West blows. It's all a matter of how the playoffs play out. Injuries have been at the center of a lot of recent title runs.
If you had to make a prediction on who makes the finals this year who would be your 2 choices?
Magic-Grizz. Skillz has the best team in the West and will make more moves to guarantee that. I think the West is a bad conference with less talented GMs (especially towards the bottom), but Skillz really does a great job out there. He's so proactive and knows how to turn a little into a lot. He's a very underappreciated trading talent, mostly because he takes some iffy risks. I think Maniac never has any luck in the postseason, and I want my team to make the finals, so I'm picking me
Who are your bottom 3 gm's
Galo-Clueless.
Matt-I don't know if he's a bad GM. He's just done a bad job.
CC-I just want to see how he responds!
We all know you know a few guys in real life. Tell us about em maybe link us to pics...
I'll post pics in the thread!
Marky Mark-Kellman's a good dude. He's taller than I am and can jump like an inch higher, which pisses me off. But when I'm not fat, I'll catch up with him yeeeeee. Mark's been dating the same girl for two years, sweetheart. Today one of her best friend's absolutely ignored me on the train when I said how are you? I was just trying to be nice! Mark and I first talked in eighth grade. I didn't know him (we had had one prior discussion on sports topics such as whether Jon Gruden was an offensive or defensive-minded coach and Mark Prior pitching against the Mets). We're walking out of Spanish, step-in-step, and I guess Mark figures he's gonna make the move. "You know what I hate?" ...uh, no, Mark Kelley, what do you hate? "When fat girls where shirts that say stuff like hottie?" Good talk.
Nanz- He's ok
Basone-Dan's the best. Definitely the funniest kid I know. My sisters love him so much, it's annoying. He called me today to tell me he met Galo. That was nice because I haven't talked to Dan in so long . One time Dan and I went to sleepaway camp together and I got mad at Dan for trying to hook up with some random girl, and I was so mean to him . Dan's dog's name is Lucky and he smells terrible but is the best. Dan loves itching the inside of his ear. It's nice! Lucky smiles. We all do. One time Dan tried to make Mary Henson give him head.
Andrew-We had lunch together today. Andrew is the best at remembering shit I've said. That's why I keep him around. Biggest slob on the planet other than me. Whenever we get drunk, it gets pretty gay. Lots of singing and dancing. No girls around. Andrew loves dogs. He's secretly dating a girl named Lizzie. Shhh, nobody knows. Andrew and I were roommates together freshman year. He had a GF at school named Meaghan. Most brutal person ever. Everyday, they would fight while I sat silently at my desk. She would say the weirdest shit as if there weren't a third person present. When he would go to class, she thought it was okay to barge in and nap in his bed, as if I weren't about to jerk off. Most annoying voice. Worst person. Thank God they broke up. I used to hate Andrew. We also never spoke for the first few months, except for the time when I came back to the room and my Triscuits were on his desk, and I had to be like, "are those my triscuits?" And he goes, "my bad." Smelliest farts, loudest burps.
Derwin- Pass.
Pig-Pig thinks in pop culture references. The other day when we were playing basketball and I called a foul, Pig drops some line about the ghost of Monte Cristo making the foul. Everyone's like, oh, that's just Pig. I literally never understand what he's talking about. He's the best though.
Nanz, Dan, Mark and Andrew are four of my closest friends, and Pig is a great friend too (just see him less), so it makes being in the league a lot of fun. There really has never been any kind of shady agreement on a trade at all--the whole friends trade thing is off base, but I don't think anyone is serious about that. One thing I'll say is that, on BBS, I don't think any of us are that much like what we are like in real life, other than Pig, who treats the off-topic section like it's his diary, hahaha.
The incident which lead to Krups eventual firing was agreed on by most that it was "crossing the line". What to you constitutes crossing the line when talking trash? What is acceptable and what is not?
I think everyone on here says things that they don't say in real conversation, even when they're not talking trash. I think everyone has to be able to filter themselves by thinking of if what they're saying is offensive/appropriate to say in real interaction. I wouldn't make fun of someone on the grounds of something like physical appearance, race, religion or problems they've had in real life. I think you can be playful, you can curse, you can call someone an asshole, or call them stupid, or arrogant, but I think there's another level that has to be avoided. You don't make fun of someone for their problems, or for things that really hit close to home. It's not hard to avoid--that's why arguments come and go without resonating. I think only a few idiots really get carried away and make things personal. Dave did it with me, he did it with talking about people's sisters, he did it with constantly harassing people over things like height or nationality, and then Marty blew it out of the ballpark with his insanely insensitive and pathetic comment to Maniac. But other than that, I think everyone here knows what topics are OK, and what to avoid. God, what a boring paragraph.
What would your life be without BBS? Can you see yourself ever really quitting? Can you see yourself talking trade with a wife and kids?
I love this shit. Of course I can see myself quitting, of course I can see the league ending. Everyone in this league has a real life, and you never know what will happen. But BBS is a luxury I can afford, basically. I don't have many responsibilities that I can't work around, and the league is the most fun thing I do on the computer by miles and miles. As for the wife and kids thing, if Spence is gonna sim when he's married, how could I quit when I get married! Yeee, I just decided to name my two sons Derwin and Spence. LOLZ guess you could say yee to the derwin
Recently i asked maniac who the 5 ugliest gm's would probably be based on personalities... Now i ask you.. Name 5 gm's who you think get the most booty based on their personalities.
This got weird. All I'll say is that everyone knows Noves is rollin' in it. No denying that.
Blah, fine. A2J, because his personality consisted of telling us how much he got. Phil, because he's big Phil. Maniac, because I remember him telling me a story about getting head from a girl in Polisci class. AAR, because everyone knows about the legend of championship pussy in BBS. Yee, I just made that up but it'd be cool. It would explain why I never get laid . And Nanz because he gets like six girls per visit to Binghamton.
You are now off the hot seat
