Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

You think you're better than Daryl Morey? Put your GM skills to the test

It seems like weekly here we have an arguement between those that know the truth (Daryl Morey is a golden god) and those that don't. So here's your chance to show that you can get a back up center even though you have a superstar starter. Or you can get that second point guard, or trade away your team cancer.

PASPN.net has created a mock GM league that is right up a lot of your alleys:

There will be 30 General Manager spots available: one for each NBA franchise. Since this is a new league, we will start by taking over each team's existing contracts. After that, it's up to you to re-tool your team via trades, draft picks, and free agent signings to form the best team that you can. Since PASPN leagues are governed by the rules of the NBA's collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the Mock GM game mixes fantasy basketball playing with the realities of the business of the NBA.

Once the NBA regular season begins, we will compete in an 18-week Head-to-Head season, where each team has a new opponent every week. You start 8 players (PG, SG, SF, PF, C, UTIL, UTIL, UTIL), and whoever scores more fantasy points wins the matchup. The scoring system is based on NBA.com's Efficiency rating: ((PTS + TRB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TOV )). The top 16 teams qualify for the Playoffs, which take place during the final 4 weeks of the regular season.

 

You can sign up here and show me what you're made of.

I'm specifically calling out everyone that thinks Morey isn't that good, or could have done even better. This is your chance to see just how hard it is to be a quality GM that doesn't make mistakes.

Beat you to it

I have been the Indiana Pacers GM for the past three or four weeks. It is very fun…what do you think of my improved Pacers roster

PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Rip Hamilton
SF: Danny Granger
PF: Troy Murphy
C: Greg Oden
6th: Hakim Warrick
Flex: Roy Hibbert
Flex: Jeff Foster
Bench: Jamaal Tinsley
Bench: Hamed Haddadi

I’m only GM of the Pacers because they were the last available team when I joined the League

This looks awesome...

I signed up, but I’ve never done this before. I’ll be a little MIA till Wednesday, but then I’ll read up on the game and how to work it (though I think I understand the basic concept).

Let me know if I need to select a team, because it says that no one has a team yet.

PS. Put me down as a guy who has a picture of Morey over his bathroom mirror.
