Transaction Guidelines:
I am trying to keep this as realistic as possible. There will not be any signs of LBJ or Kevin Durant in Milwaukee (in the near future atleast). I will also try to help star players find a better home if they are considering signing with a team that they would not. I will not abuse the trade AI.

First Off-Season - 2 Trades Available + 1 Draft Trade
Seasons Following - 2 Trades + 1 Draft Trade for the whole season.

I will also be stealing these free agent rules from ReidSkee:

Quote:

20 or less wins Free agent signings are limited to players who are 70 OVR or lower. No exceptions. 21-30 wins Free agent signings are limited to players who are 70 OVR or lower, unless there is a player in the 71-75 OVR range that is 33 or older. 31-40 wins Free agent signings are limited to players who are 75 OVR or lower. No exceptions. 41-50 wins Free agent signings are, for the most part, limited to players who are 75 OVR or lower. Two exceptions: You can sign a free agent if there is a player in the 76-80 OVR range that is 33 or older, or you can sign a free agent if there is a younger player in the 76-80 OVR range that will be stuck in that range for the rest of their careers, but ONLY if it fits a need. 51+ wins You can sign anyone you want, but you are only allowed to sign players, especially stars, based on your team needs. For example, if I wanted to sign someone like Kevin Durant, but I already have Tobias Harris, I cannot sign Durant. However, if I don't have a shooting guard and a top talent is available, I'm free to negotiate if I wish to.

NOTE: Big thanks to WaitTillNextYear for the template here. His 76ers and Jazzman's Jazz were really what motivated me to start this. Plus, it does help in burning the last 24 hours before The Show.

Reflection:
The Milwaukee Bucks overachieved expectations for the 2013-14 season with 34 wins in a weak Eastern Conference. The team was led by 21 year old point guard Brandon Knight and European big man Ersan Ilyasova, who did have issues with injuries.

GM Notes:
I simmed the whole season and avoided making trades at all in order to make things more difficult and to simulate me being the new hire after the end of the season. We are in an interesting position based on how many wins we get and we are hoping that the ping pong balls will bounce our way this year.

My goal for this team is to build a strong, athletic, defensive team in the mold of the old Pistons or the current Grizzles.

Key Storylines:

• Is Brandon Knight the PG of the future?
• Who will the Bucks pick in the first?
• Is O.J. Mayo on the trading block?

Off-Season Goals

1. Increase team buzz to 41%. [Currently 12%] (Might Accomplish)
2. Replace Bob Bender or Marc Boff (Trainer) with someone cheaper (Will Accomplish)
3. Purchase a Stadium Facility that will help out our bottom line. (Might Not Accomplish)

In other news, here is the result of the Lottery:

1. Jazz
2. Pelicans
3. Lakers
4. Magic
5. 76ers
6. Knicks
7. Bucks
8. Kings
9. Hornets
10. Mavericks
11. Hawks
12. Pistons
13. Timberwolves
14. Nuggets

Obviously we would have liked to get a higher pick, but we should be able to get an impact player at 7 in this draft.

EDIT: So I ran into a glitch that ruined my first MyGM, so I had to re-sim the first season. I will not be changing the stats seen above so for stories, we will view those as what actually happened. This is only noticeable with the playoff teams in the lottery.
