Yeah sorry guys, hope another spot opens up but I am only taking this backseat role only BECAUSE Billy will be available to help me. Not because he is the most qualified or has been in D5 before, but bc I know that I can work with BK. It might not be the most popular decision but I would rather stay on and neglect my team until I got fired before I let some of the users in wait list to take over this team.

I sorta agree. At least let the hiring committee discuss it. Maybe Billy still gets the job, maybe not. AKA "I already pmed billy and he said 'no' to my trade rapes" When you say “I hate all these players”, we’re all gonna treat trade offers like you’re running a yard sale. You’ve already made a position that you don’t think they’re great players, so why would anyone give you “value” for them?

Wow you would rather neglect your team till you got fired than have someone on the waiting list take over. Way to think about the league and the other 29 owners "impressive"

Wow you would rather neglect your team till you got fired than have someone on the waiting list take over. Way to think about the league and the other 29 owners "impressive" I am in fact thinking about the league bc my team would be better off neglected than in the hands of someone like you who has zero patience or understanding of how to run a team. In fact, if you werent on the wait list, I'd prob just quit without worrying about handing off my team to some incompetent baboon. I've seen enough in 720 to even think about giving you a chance of ruining a team I've worked on for 3 years.

This process was implemented when there is an open team. That was never the case here, Spike stepped aside to allow me to be GM of the knicks. He didn’t quit. If the position of GM of the knicks were going to be decided by the hiring process, he would not have resigned. I believe his resignation was contingent on me being GM and him being assistant. I think he could attest to that, and that’s what was relayed to Ian. He didn’t quit. There was never an open team. Shitty loophole to get around the rules. Ian Noble is getting played.

Apologies to those on the waiting list. I think D5's popularity is getting ahead of me a bit. In my mind there was no problem making the call to allow Billy King to take over from Spike Lee because it's always been my call. I think with the ever-increasing interest in the league, and a GM spot being a hot commodity, the process of replacing GMs has taken its own course somewhat. I'll try to be more considerate of these things next time a spot opens up.

Having Billy back for 24 hours is making me want to ragequit. Why are we letting this clown who tanked his team, called the league corrupt, and does nothing but instigate, skip 29 other people in line for a team? Spike Lee maybe should have been fired anyway, he shouldn’t get to slide his buddy into the position. Send it to the Hiring Committee.
