Well...I think that I did a solid job last year. I was always the first one to accept/deny trades, and more than willing to voice my opinion about ANY AND ALL ISSUES. I love the NBA and study it like a science...I can say the same thing about NBA live. I have my user name permanently logged on...and i check in at least 5 times a day because more often than not I'm near a computer, and my phone has on line ability. I'm not gunna lie and make up anything special about my self. I feel like i did a solid job and was more than fair when making decisions. If people want to vote for other members...I'm cool with it...vote in the people you think will help this league last the longest. All I know is that I was one of the first members WAAAAAAY back when Boston was running things (what was that?  ? TWO YEARS AGO!!!)...I understand how this league runs...And I know that I can help it keep running this way for a long time... yep...thats about it...lol |

I've been part of committees many times in other leagues. I try my hardest to be fair and unbiased and I usually try to base my decision based on what I believe is truly best for the league, regardless of what it would do to me. I try to stay cool with everyone, and I never cause any controversy. I've been in this league now for about a year and a half and I can't recall ever causing a problem with anyone...just trying to mind my own business and let things unroll as they happen. If you don't feel I'd be well-suited enough to handle the job, then by all means, vote for someone who you believe could better handle it. But if you feel I'm one of the right people for the job, do yourself and the league a favor and vote for me!!

I joined this league when it first started and have been one of the most active members since. I have done things for the league and given my ideas to the league without ever being on the committee and contributed what I could. I feel I am one of the more knowledgeable people on NBA Live and the NBA, and can contribute even further if given the chance. I am a great GM who likes to keep the best interest of the league at heart, even if it means making my team worse, and I want to make this league last as long as possible. I always have time for this league, am never biased, and know the rules and can enforce them. I have worked together with SA in the past on ideas and rules changes and I feel I can contribute to this league in making it even better.

Born: November 11 1988 He Was born to be something great and he knows this everyday and try his hardest at anything he does. His name is Brandon Hayward and this year he needs your [glow=red,2,300] VOTE[/glow] he is running for Committee Member of the NBA GM League and the only way he can win is if you vote for him. Now your asking yourself why should I vote Brandon Hayward to the committee members and am here to tell you why you should. Brandon's Drug: NBA Basketball, Brandon's Life: NBA Basketball this man lives for his basketball not only did he go from becoming the GM of the Toronto Raptors to one of the worst teams in the league Philadelphia 76ers and you ask why would he. Ill tell you because he knew if he went to Philadelphia he would make them better and look what he has done not only do the 76ers have a great draft pick this year there under Cap for the first time. Now if this is not enough to get your vote then look at it this way every time you log on theres is the Philadelphia 76ers there on all the time. Now tell me his not Committed and you would be laying. He could come on and give you a speech about how much he has done for this league and how he has even run a great league before but why its about right now its about helping this league out right now. The committee members have done a great job for the past 2 years and I think a lot of them should be back there on all the time and help everyone with there needs. If I don't get voted in am not going to be mad and quit this league I love this league its the best league I have seen and its run so great and no am not just trying to kiss ass to become a committee member and no am not just making this look so long I know most of people would stop reading because this is so long.

Ive been part of this league for a long time and feel ive been a solid contributor, doing the simulation in the first year, which was quite challanging as i didnt have live on the pc (which is why this years simulations was better)
Im always trying to improve my team and feel im an active gm and am able to make my own opinions on trades which i think are fair.
Gonna be around here as long as this league is still here and would love to stay on the commitee

i wouldnt expect any one else to design the site, but to be able to log in to the site, download the files, make changes to the excel files, save it as whatever.xls and whatever.html and then upload them back in to the site. i'm sure everyone here could handle that, especially with a quick tutorial.

I have been a part of this league since the original offseason. I took over a depleted Heat team that was minus D. Wade and Shaq. I've since turned that team into this one that was a serious NBA Championship contender. So i think my GM skills are among the best. I would also like to point out that i have not once been involved in a declined trade for unfair reasons, only cap related ones, that i can think of. My NBA knowledge is ever growing and i wont let my team get in the way of the betterment of this league. I also have been parts of various other leagues committees so i have experience. I have also been administrator to leagues like this one that, while no as successful as this one, were pretty successful. Im committed, my screenname is also permantly logged in like Dallas. Im strongwilled, and not afraid to speak my mind. This league is very important to me, and i find myself thinking about it throughout the day. Also, i contribute most of the graphics of the site, check my signature, and the banner of both this board and the new website for examples of my work. I think that the above qualifications make me an ideal member for the committee of this league, so Vote Heat for Member of the NBA GM League Committee!

Making my last minute pitch, it's really late here in Canada so bare with me.
Well i could start off by stating how long I've been here and all that other stuff, but i doubt thats really that important in my opinion. You all know me by know and I've basically seen everything going on in this league ever since i signed up (i found this league through the espn message boards btw lol).
Over the past few years I've been in this league, I've seen all new and old gm's go through some ups and downs and ever since San Antonio appointed me as a part of the commitee, I truly felt honored. Not honored because I have more "power" on what I have to say through trades and all that, but because this league has lasted a very very..very long time (ya i'm truly surprised). I still remember those throwback days where we had to vote in SA as commish cause our old commish was an unfair SOB haha.
I feel that me and my fellow commitee members (SA, DEN, DAL, NJ) have done a great job to keep everything intact. Whenever we disagree because of the situation. The 5 of us always find a fair and clear cut solution to the problem.
As for me, I am a very active user. I like to make fair decisions for all teams, and I am not afraid to state my opinion in a heated discussion. If any other GM has a problem or conflict that they are dealing with, well...i'm only a PM way. As far as what I can do for this league, well it's going to be the same thing i've been doing for the past couple of years, and thats help keep this league last a very long time.
