Maybe have a max number of trades a week. Streaming in finals is pretty ridiculous imo. the general idea was that limiting cap space would limit steaming.. increasing min contract inline with cap would also limit teams ability to stream.

I think you advised me at some stage that I was close to the cap and I made sure I only used what I had. For the most part you can work out how much you have left and how many changes you can do. All part of being in a salary comp.

The results are showing streaming has dominated the finals series. Min increase won't affect that too much. It comes down to who has money and time to stream.

A few things I would suggest for the coming year. Make the league that yahoo is just a subsidiary to the Proboards page.
- Every drop, every pick up, every trade has to be done here. It will help keep track of what is going on and make sure their are records.
Either Review the Bidding process/Free agency process. - Make it that pick ups have to be bid on and that way everyone has a chance at the player. Make it just like the bidding process in the offseason. - Maybe look at if there is an easier way to help Javy with the actual bidding process, maybe that contracts have to be determined as a bid is put in, so he can track if someone is over the salary cap.
- Rules to prevent you from making bids if it puts you over the salary cap. Only if this is something Javy is concerned about.
- Player exemptions if a player gets injured like in the NBA. Or possibility of having an injury replacements that are close to free that you can declare and then once your player is healthy again are able to drop for free. Could say each player is worth $500,000 so you need to keep some salary cap space for them.
I think there are also a number of items that came up last year that should be discussed. COVID
- I still think it will affect players this year. Maybe do free replacement for players listed as a COVID related injury/absence from the team but only so long as they are out of the line up. The replacement goes back to the free agency pool after that.
Well these are just a few of the things I thought of so let me know if any of them sound like good ideas to you Javy. If they do then the entire league could discuss them more at that time.
No issue with teams recording transactions here for the a recored.. but as someone else mentioned it is also recorded in the league history in yahoo.. but i don't think having to wait for adds/drops to be vetted or approved would work all that well.. I think for the most part the FA bidding process works pretty well.. most managers a savvy enough not to get into a trouble that they can't get out of.. 5 years in an haven't had a breach... in regards to add contract details to bidding process its not to hard to workout minimum starting salaries based of contract totals, as long as the bids are clear and understandable I'm happy. re Covid.. looks like it will be playing a part again this year.. if i recall yahoo made some changes early last year around player clarifications/IL spots.. can't remember specifics.. did we go to 3 x IL?

When a manager wins a bid, then potentially waits another 24 hours to find out if it's matched for a RFA you miss out on 48 hrs of bidding with alot of money held up. Then that bid is matched and if it's towards the end of the bid window, you've missed out on a whole lot of players.Is there a way we can allow managers to bid on other players without penalties and rescind their bid if the RFA isn't matched.

I don't see how you can allow that. How is it fair if for 47 hours you bid up another auction then find out you will win the RFA you bid on and now that other auction is overly inflated and you can just pull your bid out. Does that auction then revert back to the last bid before you bid? Does the clock restart from the time you release yourself from that bid? There are risks and rewards to for bidding on RFA players and one of the risks is losing out on other players due to the time required for the bid to be matched.
You can't say that you are allowed to bid yourself up on RFA's then also have the ability to bid on other players in case that bid doesn't get you the player you wanted. The same problem goes for the owner of the RFA they can't bid on other players (dependent of salary cap implications) if they are waiting for the bid on their player to be completed so they can match. Unless you are saying that RFA owners have the same rights I am not sure how this could be acceptable. What happens if you have an RFA and you think for example DGT is going to make an insane offer on your player, but at the end of the day the salary is somewhat reasonable, can you just drop any player you bid on or won during the last 48hrs before it is your time to match the offer? What is the time line to rescind offers? This statement isn't trying to start the bidding yourself up argument again just saying, you can't really have it both ways.
I also know my team has a top RFA so my opinion on this might be a bit slanted but I do believe even if I didn't have the top two RFA's this offseason I would think I would still feel the same way.

Maybe it's too complicated to find a solution.
Yes to more IL for this covid year.
Every one else ok with streaming and unlimited changes per week?

Not Ok with streaming especially during playoffs. I am ok with staying with No Maximum FA Acquisitions/Pick-ups per week just as long as playoffs will not be decided by streaming. In my opinion, adding/dropping players for all teams should be disabled at the start of the playoffs.
For the discussion on RFA, I would like to propose that instead of having a Restricted FA, we just allow 1-year Contract Extension for 1 player each team per Off Season. Contract Extension should cost a certain percentage more than the previous years salary. After the 1-year extension, the player cannot be further extended and bidding for new contract will be similar to any other FA. We can also add other rules for a player to be eligible for Contract Extension such as a minimum number of years with the current team.
For the discussion on In-Season Free Agent, I would also like to suggest we explore the FAB (Free Agent Budget) setting. We can set the team budget similar with the teams remaining Cap Space. One advantage is that we can easily see each teams budget/cap space in Yahoo. Another advantage is that bidding will still determine who gets the FA.

One advantage is that we can easily see each teams budget/cap space in Yahoo. Another advantage is that bidding will still determine who gets the FA. I don't think restricting signings during the playoffs is workable, for a couple of reasons. Mostly, in forcing managers to lock in rosters in advance, you're committing them to whatever schedule for the playoffs their players have. Say someone is aiming for the top seed, but also knows that several of their best players only have 2 games the week of the finals, and they have cap space to spare. It's a salary cap league--let teams spend within their cap. Contract extensions are an interesting thought. I'd be open to discussing this more. I'd also throw out there that, under that scenario, you should be able to extend a player as many times as you want, knowing that salary will increase year by year. It's then up to the manager to decide when the balance tips between keeping the player for an elevated salary versus trying to re-sign him on the open market. I'm not sure whether you can customize FABs team-by-team, but it's a thought. This becomes a management issue for Javy, as every time there is a trade he'd have to manually update FABs for the teams involved. I'm pretty sure, though, that there is no way to set a minimum bid, and that $0 is a valid bid (so long as nobody bids more). We'd have to figure out what this would mean for long-term contracts for in-season FAs, though I'd propose that there could be tiers, where if you bid over $X it is automatically a 2-year contract, $Y for a 3-year, etc.

I know it's probably not productive to have everybody voice their opinion, but I'll share mine nonetheless lol. I like most of these issues as they already are. Streaming should be ok, it's a fair strategy to take. We are a salary cap league: you can decide if you want to stream or spend everything during free agency. I don't like the idea of a FAB for a league that already has a salary cap.
I'm less opinionated on the whole RFA conversation, but I don't like one extension per year. It gives a heavy incentive to land a top draft pick. For example, I have Zion this year on my roster with a team option of 7.5 mill. Even at 15% increase/yr I could keep extending him year over year and in 6 years he would still be 15.09 million which would be way below market value....

One other thing worth considering is I feel like 2nd round picks are majorly undervalued in this league because of the contract structure. I'd like to make a suggestion of the following for s new structure. 1st Season $500K, 2nd year option $500K, 3rd year option $1M. I find a lot of second round picks don't end up having contracts given to them so that you can then bid on the player as a FA and give them a 3 or 4 year deal at $500K per season. I feel like this might cut down on this. I would also suggest that this rule doesn't take affect this draft but for the 2022 draft as many trades have been made for this season and although there is a few trades for the 2022 draft there are not nearly as many and it would be fairer. Again totally up to Javy not saying this is a make or break thing for me just a suggestion. I think at some point we will need to adjust all rookie contracts and (possibly minimum as well) .. as the cap continues to rise the comparative value of these contracts will continue to fall.. as an example, when league started #1 pick was paid 5% of team cap.. its now 4%. Other option Javy is just stop increasing the salary cap it would cut down on that as well.

Javy are any of these items you want to discuss. I think if there are items you want to look at you should make a new topic for each one individually and then we can have a discussion and vote on any rule changes you think would be beneficial to the league.

Feel free to start any thread/polls for changes, lets see if any ideas have the support of a majority of the league
