After a quick look at team records so far these teams are in danger of entering their contract year next year....
New Jersey Nets Phoenix Suns Golden State Warriors Memphis Grizzlies Utah Jazz Indiana Pacers New Orleans Hornets New York Knicks Miami Heat
The Nets, Suns, Jazz and heat are all contending so far this year. if they win 40 or make the playoffs they are off the hook.
The Warriors, Grizzlies, Pacers, Hornets and Knicks look as though they could be going into their contract year next year. Obviously that would be a large amount of team fighting for survival. Because of this Id like to at least discuss possible GM replacements. I feel as though we have a large pool of guys to choose from, but Id still like to hear some feedback on potential candidates.
Lumley AllStar Shaunkol CrazyMike Impossible is Nothing Pmc Jeff Footy WFTTiger Scott Matt Jayborne CC Ray Trunks Idlewildsouth
Skillz also has some ideas from his league. If he could post those guys names, that'd be great.
I haven't contacted any of these guys about impending openings, so some may not be interested. i figured it wouldn't hurt to see who looked good to everyone and to open a discussion about it just so everyone is on the same page.

He was pretty pissed when I fired him from the last BBS. I had asked him at one point if he'd be interested in rejoining and he said something to the affect "Im not good enough to be in it obviously".

I like Matt alot. PMC too. They would both be solid additions if they were interested.
Jeff seems like a solid guy and seems intrigued by the league.
Jay has really improved and I think would be a nice addition.
AllStar seems like he would be active, but he is hot and cold.
Mike recently PMd me saying to take him off the wait list after I hired A2J.
Idlewild has mixed reviews from people but he's doing an excellent job in 1982.

Id like people to throw out their 2 cents on candidates. No reason why this cant be a pretty in depth discussion about who the next BBS Gm will be.

Also remember that if you are fired, most likely you'll go right to the head of the wait list. I love the group of GMs we have and wouldn't want to lose any of you for a long period of time. I just think the Contract Year is too important to modify at this point.

First of all, my team is sick. Second of all, I got really happy when I saw CC's name. That'd be awesome.

I dont know a lot of those guys. Lums I do of course and think he's always good for the lg activity.
I also think Isiah Thomas should get a crack at it. I got a feeling he's gonna be outta work soon. We all could take that guy to the cleaners. Whoever has Francis will probably get 10 picks for him from Isiah.

I'm pretty surprised (and pissed) and how bad my team has played this year... I've been trying alot of stuff out, so hopefully I'll find the right TC and get out of that danger.

Only really know Lumley and CC. I think the contract year is good and should be interesting if fired GMs can switch teams.

I know a lot of these guys through other leagues. Lumley of course is solid and active, he just wont the ship in 1982. AllStar is a pretty solid gm, built some pretty good teams in UOSL. Shaunkol-He built a nice squad in UOSL, 1 and 2. CrazyMike-He is active, not the best of gms though Jayborne- Pretty solid gm, won a few ships in UOSL2. CC- Pretty good gm, we should see if he wants back. Ray- I think this is ray from UOSL? He is a pretty solid gm, should start as a asst maybe Trunks he is pretty good, should start as a asst probably too.
Idle is pretty solid gm, he is doing a lot for 1982, could use that here as well.

i'd like to see AllStar get a chance.
Shaunkol from UOSL is pretty good... always builds top teams.

Skillz, if you have anyone in mind please have them sign up and take a look around.
Also if someone could get Ray and Trunks to sign up thatd be cool. See if they like it over here.

Lumley - We all know him.
AllStar - He has stuck around here for a while as an assistant.
Shaunkol - Has been succesful in UOSL2, worth a shot.
CrazyMike - I'd take guys who I've talked about above and below over him.
Impossible is Nothing - I'd take guys who I've talked about above and below over him.
Pmc - He would be my number 2 preference. Jeff - I don't think he would join?
Footy - Don't think other GM's would want him here after BBS, I would though.
WFTTiger - Would be interesting.
Scott - He wouldn't join.
Matt - I don't think he would join?
Jayborne - He would be my number 1 preference.
CC - No idea.
Ray - I'd take guys who I've talked about above and below over him.
Trunks - I'd take guys who I've talked about above and below over him.
Idlewildsouth - I'd take guys who I've talked about above and below over him.

Wasn't there an incident with Jayborne when he used to be in BBS? Or am I completely making that up?

I would say me but that does not look like its going to happen. Soo I would have to say Jayborne or CC. Both are really good GMs.

Or am I completely making that up? yea and he never did shit and got fired....I think so at least His cousin got online supposedly I think it was and starting talking shit on the boards. I was like the only gm to stick up for him and he is a very good kid. Guys I know of who seem to be up there besides myself. CC, Allstar, Jayborne, Idle has been great for 1982 helping to keep it alive and bringing in solid gms of late. So I really appriate it helping to keep it going so I can win lol. If need be I can wait on a few of these guys. Trunks and Shaun arent bad either both good guys. Some of the others I have ran into in a alot of other sims but havent conversed with them alot.
