I've gone AWOL for some time and want to explain. My bedridden grandmother has me caring for her every minute of the day (which is driving me quite insane) but it's something I must do. As well as our school is back with work and I'm heavily focused on improving my IRL basketball abilities, cooking, cleaning, working etc; I haven't made proper time to hop on here and explain or do much of anything. I would like to return and may make updates on my situation in the near future, but I'm just not feeling ITP or any other sim leagues for that matter at the time. I'm more focused on trying to get an online job as a 16 y/o while also managing school, basketball, theatre, and caring for my grandma. I offer my deep apologies on behalf of any inconveniences I may have caused anyone and I want to simply empathize as to how difficult managing a hectic life during this strenuous time. Thank you, and I plan to return sometime... could be in a week, a month, a year, ten years, who knows. I don't want to be in a sim league if I'm not offering to it's growth and user-base and that's why I feel the need to separate, a lack of time and motivation to stay.

I can hardly do anything with the virus and the quarantine going on.

I'd also like to state that... I suck at this. On paper I have the best team in the league, but God knows how I finished 4th in the East. Made me angry, wasted players, etc;. Not only that, I have no idea how the simulator works or how my team did so awful. They started out well but just finished awful. I can make great trades as much as I want, free agent signings and whatnot, but my team was still dirt shit. Welp. Better at IRL basketball ig. No fun when you tank for 3 seasons, build a really good team, and still manage somehow to suck.

We all can say our teams should be better that aside . You're doing the right thing since you might of been raised by her . You're a good person dor that . Please don't stop posting because we hwre don't say it but we do care . The world is vastly different now and without people like you it would change for the bad . Try to see if you can get a home health aide to assist you with you're Grandmother so you wont be so unnerved

Yeah I'm officially leaving and there's a few reasons why.
1. Don't have near enough time 2. Not motivated to do it whatsoever. 3. I don't see any potential moves to make my team better. My team on our roster already looks godly and gets 45 fucking wins. Yeah, that's some goddamn 2k bullshit. Someone else can have the heapfire of shit called the Heat. I made great trade after great trade and we got 45 wins. Smh.

Heat on fire. Literally. I understand though it can be frustrating putting a big amount of time in a sim team so it can win games and then not win as much as you expected.

When I have two ex-mvps? Yeah. I should get more than 45 wins. The Knicks have literally one guy and can grab 60+ with the worst roster besides him.

Here's my dealio. I cannot do anything to further improve my team. I can't. With this roster we should've won a championship. It doesn't make any sense. I've never ever had a winning/good team. When I finally get one that could possibly win something, they fuck up and are absolute dog shit. Literally the dumbest thing ever. I even had us good depth, made great trades. Even if I were to stay GMing what would I do? I don't wanna make any trades, but ig I'd have to because 45 wins is fucking terrible.

yeah but Nick Young is a monster. 47.2ppg with .521 fg %, .919 ft % and .465 3 point %. It is not even possible to describe that.

Yes... as I said, I can do trades all day, but I cannot do anything with my players! What am I gonna do next offseason? Unload those superstars who're old or resign em? Either decision is gonna put me worse than before.

Nope, I'm out. I might come back later, but prolly not. It's no fun to win just 45 games with a stacked team.

It was no fun losing in the 2nd round after a 66-16 season in ‘84.It also was no fun to fall to 5th in the West this past regular season. Still managed to pull out a ship. “It’s just the way she blows bud” - Ray

I have two ex-mvps. I shouldn't have gotten 45 wins. Should NOT have. Period. I lost to the Celtics and Hawks in blowout games this past season.
