Traded some big salaries for prospects at the trade deadline and my team continues to slump and get blown out routinely.
Owner expectations for the year were to play .500 ball, and I'm currenly 11 games under that. The owner has gone from worried to upset and I'm curious as to how long owners usually take before they fire GMs.
The owner (John Moores, left over from imported OOTP11), is listed as "tolerant" under the patience level.

I've been fired a couple of times before the all star break, when the owners expectations were high, and the team performance was less then desirable.
