Well this 2015 season is drawing to an end and we have a very exciting playoff race (and for all my rebuilding brothers, an exciting lotto/draft
) coming up. Now, at this time, as the last sim goes, we should take a smidget of time and reflect on the past year, who did well, who didn't, who overachieved, who underachieved, who is that dark horse this year and who blatantly sucked. This poll here signifies one GM who stood out and shined, someone who did very well for his team, maybe not the best team, maybe not the championship, but a team's GM who is possibly the feel good story of RBSL, a humble guy that we should congratutlate. Now before I can further introduce the nominees, I would like to share a couple rules.
Yeah yeah, I know you think i'm a bastard for making darn rules but too bad pumpkin
. Their are just a few rules or things i should mention. I want this race to be exciting, a bit competitive and fun. I also want it to pretty unpredictable, now that doesn't mean we screw around with balloting. What i'm trying to say, or rather inforce is that i would appreciate it if
you did NOT mention or post who you voted for...i reapeat, please do not mention who you voted for, i want this to be as mysterious as grandma's secret closet, it adds a certain kick or flare to the voting. I would also ask that you get your vote in as soon as possible as i have put a cap on the days you can vote, just 3 days, so think carefully and be quick to it. Also, anyone can vote, Ast's, RBSL faithfuls and GM's, even nominees, you can vote forself but make sure you think it's the right call. So basically all i can say is make the vote based on your fair judgment, you have 3 days to do it and do not mention who you voted for. The poll results will be hidden until the the time to vote has expired. Remember their is no wrong answer as all of these guys are wonderful GM's as are the ones who didn't get voted in but these are the guys who took a bit of an extra step. So without further ado, here are your nominees.
SonicsGM- A team i am deeply in love with, honestly, they came out of left fiield in taking the west, i thought they were good, never new they were this good. Sold team constructed very well, they have the right amount of depth, defense and offense. By getting Diop they only improved and that was a magnificent move by Adrian. Outstanding performance!
WolvesGM- A GM who was known to be in the bottom of the fish tank, the late bird, the cellar dweller, not anymore mama cause these guys are arguably one of the best teams in the league now. They have the 2nd best win% in the league and Lavar Likens is the best thing that could have happened to them. By getting Gilbert Arenas he only gets better and it was a huge move, very good one and should be commended, having a C like Herren never hurts either. Finally today, they get their dues. 3 cheers for Adam and his 7 years of crap to a couple years of success and only more down the road.
ClippersGM- Every year he is almost a lock for EOY, and deservedly so, Nick here has made ateam that is built for now and tomorrow, an outstanding job coordinating his team, first by drafting supers-star Jesus Daly and he never looked back. Now by getting more and more talent and staying a championship contender year after year, this being yet another dominant season. Let's give it for the Clippers and Nick!
HornetsGM- Another sort of Dark Horse in the pack. Some may think pretender when they see the Hornets but i see Passion and Heart. these guys worked their way to where they are and deserve their dues. No one can get this far by fluke and if it was it must o been a league blunder. Another team solid from top to bottom, may be missing that extra pizazz but who cares? Playoffs, Top 3, i'll take it. Great Job HornetsGM!
RocketsGM- Another team which used to get tummy aches looking at how far they have sunk has now arrived with their own Pepto Bismal and it certainly works. A very talented and flexible team has Trev put together. Being as young as his team is and the amount of money they have, the teams architect must be a genius, maybe he is, all i can say is that he did a heck of a job, his team has little playoff experience but a ton of talent, great drafting and patience has brought them really far, It'll be hard not to vote for them, lets give Trev his credit here!
PistonsGM- A team overlooked, a team not many talk about but a very good one. They have consistently brouth themselves to the top of the east with some shrewd dealing now and in the past, they finally step onto the big stage now and are in a cozy situation. A team with a fair amount of star-power and fire-power, certainly worthy of noting. 3 cheers for PistonsGM.
CelticsGM- Last but not least, the Celtics also had their fair share of gloom until a couple years ago when they met Bill. Now they are a team which is getting better and better with some amazing trades. They find themselves in an outstanding position on top of the league if not the best, one of the best young young teams in all of RBSL, on top of that, because of their shrewd dealing, they may see themselves get a top pick in one of the deepest drafts all time. Just amazing job by Celts, he deserves mountain loads of credit.
So their they are, the 7 nominees for Executive of the year, all great GM's and great people. They all deserves a shot at the title and all are worthy of winning the award. It's a sign of recognition and respect. Myself personally would dream of being mentioned in such a list, every last one of them should be considered. Remember their is no wrong answer, i'm hoping everyone votes. You guys have 3 days to pick the Executive of The Year, starting now!
Good Luck All!!!!!!!
