Proposals passed to vote:
#3

Proposals not passed to vote:

I'm gonna start.

Proposal 1:
Teams that finish below .500 (7 wins) in the last season they cannot trade away their 1st round pick.

Teams that finish with 5 wins or less cannot trade away their 1st or 2nd round picks.

On the surface, I agree with this, but what about a scenario like this:

*I have the 1.5 (which is probably likely to happen in the next draft)
*I don't like any players in the top 10
*I trade down to 1.11 and pick up extra picks or a player

In this scenario, I would have traded my first round pick, but did so in a way to get more value out of it than I think I would have staying in the top 10.

That's all good and all but wrong thread. lol
Only I second that and I third that applies here. Debate thread is where you want to go.

Proposal 2:
Hiring and Firing of GM's

1) GM's could get fired for under-performing , a winless season or for league conduct violations.
2) Once fired they would go to the back of the waiting list.
3) No more than 3 GM's can be fired in a given season. And at least one if there is someone on the waiting list.
4) New GM's can't be fired in their first 3 seasons unless they have 2 winless seasons in that time frame.


There are several ways to determine when a GM can be fired.
.
A) If they have a winless season.
B) If they have 3 consecutive seasons with less than 5 wins
C) If they have 4 consecutive seasons with less than 7 wins
D) If they have 5 consecutive seasons under .500
E) If they have 6 consecutive seasons not making the playoffs
F) If a GM takes over a playoff team and miss the playoffs for 3 consecutive seasons.
G) 3 League Conduct violations.
H) No GM can be fired in their first 3 seasons with exception of rule 4.
I) If no one is on the waiting list each GM will retain their tenure with exception of rule G.
J) Once a GM is fired from their team they may not be hired by that same team for 3 seasons. They may be hired by another team at any time, determined by the waiting list.

Seconded

Thirded.

Proposal 2 goes to vote.

I'm good with it.
