Experience prior to DASL: Like a dozen leagues off & on over the last 13 years or so
Best Moment in DASL: Gutting the LeBron/Roy/Rose roster I inherited and watching everyone freak out (and the dominance that has followed)
Worst Moment in DASL: Watching Kent Bazemore walk to a 20-something win team for less money immediately after winning a title.
One regret/mistake in player personal you wish you could take back: I don't really regret any moves I've made yet. I suppose I probly wouldn't have traded for Conley if I knew I was gonna get Curry but he's still good insurance.
Player most looking forward to: um...Carmelo's son?
Favorite NBA team: Suns
How did you come across the league: RealGM forum advertisement
Suggestion idea(s) for league: It would be nice if the terrible GMs weren't always acting like the smartest ones in the room.
RealGM, really? Did ownage post there?
Yep, posted there and fbb games.

I have been here for quite a few seasons now, but had not seen this thread.

Location: Evansville, IN

Occupation: High School Teacher/ Football Coach

Experience Prior to DASL: I had just started in another. DASL was like my sophomore season.

Best Moment in DASL: Making it to the conference finals. I was left a really nice team and was able to add a couple of pieces to it.

Worst Moment in DASL: These past couple of seasons. I have gotten my butt kicked. It needed to happen as I traded off CP3 and the rest of the gang but losing isn't fun. Think we are heading in the right direction though. Good young core.

Player Most Looking Forward To: Gotta go with Michael Porter

Favorite NBA Team: Huge Pacers fan.

How Did You Come Across League: RealGM

Suggestion/Ideas for the League: I don't know if I have any. League runs at a great pace and very smoothly.

Experience prior to DASL: I've participated and ran sim leagues for years. Took a long break of a few years before coming back to them with this league.
Best Moment in DASL: This offseason. Sure, KD was nice, but that was random maxing. This was a plan!
Worst Moment in DASL: Probably just losing so much last season. I started out doing .500 ball for a while there. Not much else to consider.
One regret/mistake in player personal you wish you could take back: Not trading Hezonja when he had value. He's been useless.
Player most looking forward to: Obviously intended for the historical perspective. I'm always excited about Vlade Divac.
Favorite NBA team: Timberwolves
How did you come across the league: fbbgames
Suggestion idea(s) for league: I've liked this one a lot, but many GMs disliked it, so take it as you will. Add a period after a brand new FA signing (as in, wasn't on your team last year) where you cannot trade them. I did 30 days (though I did 10 day sims). Discourages bad teams from signing good players to big 1 year deals to trade them away asap (which is extremely unrealistic) since the players would be adding wins to their tanks. Again though, people did not like it generally.
Another Ocala guy!!?? No way
Technically right on the edge of Ocala in Anthony. :lol:

But I figured Ocala would be more recognizable.

Who here is in Canada? I'm in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto, but it's also the sixth biggest city in the country.
