well so if i trade my 040 pick to make a deal possible is this still an option? Sorry but being a gm means operatiing with what is available at the moment not in the future. that is like telling a guy i will give you 2000 cash i will earn in the future. i mean how many future considerations can you make before your team can't fullfill their duties anymore.

I dunno.. Ask the Blazers

[SpiritGM]

Of course it is an option. Just ask Isiah Thomas!  As long as it doesn't violate any rules, GMs are free to use whatever assets they have, current or future.

If you think this is unreasonable, sim league probably isn't your thing. Fantasy bball is more suitable.

I understand both of what you're saying.. The problem here might be the fact there is no proof you are supposed to end up with that pick, and why didnt you say anything as soon as PistonsGM retired?

Hey now....

Future considerations is only rehtoric and political speech. It always has a distinguishable piece for me

Oh and for the record, we are not in any debt (in fact we're owed some stuff)

So, kiss my patootie.

I have the PMs still if you need me to forward it. Ex-PistonsGM and I also posted (a deleted) trade thread for him trading nothing and I get the '35 pick. I think Clips said it wouldn't be valid since he traded his '34 first - hence it was deleted.

I wasn't aware Pistons retired until before I posted.

Dude where the hell have you been? lol

Well if it makes a difference, I, a long time ago made a deal with a team where I owed the team a 1st in a future year. The team I did business with, the GM retired before I managed to trade them the pick I owed them. I ended up trading the 1st to the new GM.

All in all, I still think Mav deserves to get the pick he's owed.

I dont disagree with this at all.. I just think that a) the timing sucks b) I have to see pms, etc., that 100% prove thats his pick.

OK guys I read my PMs before this thread. I didnt find the evidence to be irrefutable in my PM, but this comment I bolded I do remember. I remember clearly the old Pistons posting the thread but it would have left him without a first two years in a row. So he said he would repost when he got it. I clearly remember this attempted transaction and being aware that they had an unfinished business with a draft pick to the Mavs. For me, as Commish, that is enough proof for me.

You know, somebody could have just asked me lol. And yes, the Mavs are owed a pick from a previous deal I made.

Toodles, children.
