the problem with the current system is that teams can tank for 3 seasons without attempting to win( not adjusting depth charts, not signing FAs, no trades) ... then in the contract year, they will all of a sudden "try" to win... by making trades, signing players and adjusting depth charts.... so improvement is inevitable... since you're going from not trying to suddenly trying. So, it would actually make everything a lot more simple to set specific goals that GMs have to meet and to be objective than to be subjective. Injuries would be the obvious exception. yes DJ is finally seeing the light and I applaud his playoff run this year it was great to watch

The league is new so the rules are pretty much set. There is no history to back any exceptions. I could see if a team was a contender for 7 strait seasons and then had some injury problems.

So Spence, if nova has JRich and Yao, and has just won 39 games in his contract year, he's gone? I'm just using nova as an example.

I mean if he has JRIch and Yao, and he cant win 40 games, he should get fired. I hope everyone realizes it isnt a personal thing, its strictly performance based. Obviously Nova would be welcomed back, and might even jump ahead of others on the wait list.

Yeah I think it's good that their won't be any exceptions. Because then every time it happens people will be looking for excuses, loopholes, etc.

I re read the way the rule was stated, and I dont even see a possibility for a loophole. If something unexplainable happens, and the person getting fired asks for leniency, we'll deal with that then. I just dont see anything changing my mind.

If I can't win 40 games I deserve to be fired.
And just so people know, I have sent FA bids on some of the better players in the class, just haven't landed anyone yet.
