Folks, when the league file was corrupted, the majority of you wanted us to continue with this file, but many of you were open to a full re-boot. Given the lack of activity, and our inability to attract new GMs, I think we've reached a point where SSBLv3 cannot continue. After I sim the playoffs, this league will close. We are already developing SSBLv4, so once that's up to speed (hopefully in the next two weeks), we will let you know (well, most of you). After the playoffs, do check this site for updates. I know those of you who have positioned your team for a fantastic rebuild, or are in the midst of building a superpower, will be a little upset by this, but this is what we feel is best for the league. SSBLv4 will begin in the 1999-2000 season with the historic rosters at the start of the 1999 season. I think it's a great period in basketball history, with the transition of elite talent out, and the influx of plenty of new young talents. I think SSBL has some of the best GMs around. Thanks for a great run--and thanks for working with Ray and me as we took over this league. Let's finish the playoffs on a strong note and prepare for the next incarnation of SSBL! |

Will roster be default or will we have a "creation draft"? |

Damn! I was already preparing to dominate the league for years to come My future picks would have ripened I tell you!Though if you need a roster file, I have a 2000-2001 file. I hand edited pretty much everyone. I talked to Brian about showing it to you a few weeks ago but I was still in the states. When my desktop gets setup, I can give you the file if you like. The ratings are a little on the low end though. PM me if you want it slash. |

Sure, I'll take it. The rosters will be historical, so there won't be a creation draft. We're in the process of researching salaries and everything-- but if anyone has a worthy 1999-2000 file, I'd happily take that. |

Special thanks for Ray and Dave for picking up the ball when most really weren't active. They tried to continue this league which lets face it have a few bumps that could have been avoided. Overall it has been a good run for this league. Will we finish everything tonight? |

Well yeah, as soon as my dad setups the desktop again(not sure the timetable on that but the stuff are there. Basically boils down to when he has time) Its 2000 - 2001 though. Hated the 2000 draft eh and wanted to get it done with But will still definitely join up for the new league whether its 99 or any other year.How is team picking going to be though? Is it like the last restart where we can choose to be our old team or swap with others? Or first come first serve basis? |

That's an idea I'll consider. Any other thoughts? If not that, what about today AND tomorrow? |

I'll try to run it like this reboot-- returning GMs can retain the right to the team that they have in this league, but I'm open to GMs swapping if you guys have preferences... You'll have to work that out yourselves. The rest will be first come-first-serve. I'm still kinda sad that I lost the Timberpups, but Jeb seems to like 'em.

Is Brian returning to his King's Chair? Or will this still be ran by Rave? Either way, great job Brian(for starting it and lasting until I made you explode), great job Rave for picking it up when it was slacking. This is the 2nd time this league is ending when I finally built a super power lol, but that's cool cause I'm going to just keep the Lakers for SSBLV4. IMO, may as well sim tonight. What about transferring cash over to the new league ? Or we going to start fresh and brand new? Again, thanks for running this great league Brian and Rave. I've become a better GM, and more importantly a better person after looking back at my childish argument and fights on these boards. Next mission...SSBLV4 CHAMPION! |

I wouldn't mind being the Twolves either hehe but the team is quite good. I usually pick teams based on combination of talent I like but after the success of the Suns(who I didn't like but i wanted to be Phoenix), I'm probably going to hope for a franchise that I just want to be. Spurs Heat Knicks 76ers Pacers Warriors Rockets all sound interesting. |

This new project will be entirely Dave and Ray's baby. I have nothing to do with it as I'm still running the other league. |
