Well, since you're a GM...

I suspect the guy went bot because he was bankrupt. It looks like some of his guys were sold as Free Agents. That's usually done as a last ditch effort to eliminate the deficit. If that doesn't work, the manager gets kicked and the team goes bot.

I don't really have a problem with it other than it should happen at the end of the season. It won't affect me, but it can have an effect on the standings. If someone played him at full strength and beat him by 10, while another team played him as a bot and won by 50, it could have an effect on the final standings (since point differential is a factor).

It probably won't matter in this case, but I have seen it skew point differentials before.

OK, I've decided I will be rooting for the Griffins in the playoffs. This marks the 5th year in a row I've faced them in the playoffs and with a 1-13 all-time record against them I don't want to have to play them anymore!

Good strategy. I always enjoy seeing teams that have my number move on to a different league :-D

Tough luck for the Griffins - lose their starting small forward to injury just before the playoffs.
And now you're 2-13 lifetime!

I'm worried about Flying Leopards - they've won 3 of our last 4. But if I get by them, I'd be happy with an all-Badger state title series.

As for the Puffins - the first day I joined this league I purchased He Tianwei from them - so that would be an apt matchup also, from a grudge match perspective for my starting PG

I wonder if the Griffins will still be one of the teams that promotes despite not winning the playoffs.
Maybe that win will at least convince my fans that I'm trying to win at least.
