Another Off Season in the Books.

Oh basketball every time you speak it proves that you are an overly emotional twit.

So here are the real facts about you.

1) You are a huge hypocrite. You say you don’t want any rules to change then cry when the ones you suggest are shot down like a German fighter plane in WWII.

2) Javy actually asked for suggestions on changes to the bidding process so a few of us who have them have provided ideas. None of us have said anything about quitting if we don’t get our way. You have made it pretty clear that you are the defender of the old way. I’m very happy you are stuck in your ways and can’t see anything from multiple view points.

3) Everyone is your better. I’ve seen you in leagues, you act just like you do in this one. You cry when you don’t get your way and all you do is complain the entire time it’s why I booted you out of my leagues.

4) It makes sense you still believe in Santa considering you act like a 5 year old. Nonetheless I still will wish you and everyone in the league a merry Christmas.

Now on to suggestions for the league which I’m sure Basketball will love.

5) I personally think the league would be better if we moved to an Average Annual Salary x Years based bidding. I would not be against allowing managers you rearrange the cost of the salaries after a player is won in auction. Also however Javy wanted to prioritize length of contract I would be fine with.

6) I’ve also been in leagues where the resigning team gets a discount on RFAs similar to how in the NBA the team that holds the rights to a player can offer them more salary then a competing team. That would be a new and interesting wrinkle but would understand if it was hard to implement. Just some food for thought.

7) consider making Rookie contracts 3 years with a TO for a 4th. Making 2nd round picks 2 years with a TO for a 3rd. It seems like most managers don’t sign 2nd round picks and then sign them as free agents. Also consider giving rookie free agents RFA protection as well.

8) I’ve already suggested this but consider reviewing every rule and making sure anything we’ve discussed in the league gets added to the rules for when we have a replacement manager they can see what most of us already know.

9) Lastly, I agree we should look into sign and trades and what we are willing as a league to consider acceptable. I have an opinion on this matter currently but am willing to listen to the merits of any arguments presented. I don’t think we need to adopt a NBA style rule that says you can’t trade a player in the offseason that you sign them but I would agree that there should be a rule on how much of a player’s salary you can eat in a trade of a player signed and then traded in the same offseason. Maybe 50%, maybe 75%, maybe 25%.
