abenjami Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 @Jamalisms go back to last season's website and look at all of CMJ and Nines transactions. The constant cycling of players is not only annoying, but it's also very unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant cycling of players is not only annoying, but it's also very unrealistic. So is having people available that teams want but can't obtain. The constant pick ups were annoying but I find the idea of a change which potentially restricts valid transactions simply to prevent an annoyance to be more than a bit misguided. I've been in a league that tried to overregulate because of personality conflicts and the result was stupid. It's the classic unintended consequences trap. I'm not sure this league is a democracy anyway, but I see no reason to debate it further. I've stated my opinion and the reasoning is it simple. People can consider it and make up their own minds. If @Cyrus wants a vote, it'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the good players 9's drops or claim the good players he's claiming. If nobody is good, there's no victim. If somebody is good, use your skill. Forced realism here (one guy makes fewer moves because we won't let him) restricts realism as well (everyone else potentially can't make moves they want to). It's not a meaningful improvement.

Bink Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think there are other solutions worth considering too, including a reasonable seasonal or weekly transaction limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you really need to back and look at what they were doing to understand why some of us want this. For the record, you seem to be the only person against what Wisco proposed.

Jamalisms Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 1. I complained about and commented on it last year. I'm well aware. 2. My opinion is my own. Your opinion is your own. You make up your mind. I'll make up mine. I'm not going to change my vote (assuming there's a vote) just because "everyone else" (two or three people who've checked into the thread and commented on a Sunday) thinks differently.

Jamalisms Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm not heated at all, for the record. Seems a pretty fruitless thing to debate. No nuance to it. A couple considerations and, if we do votes for rules, vote. That's it. ... but I'm a sucker for responding to direct interactions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both of my money leagues, we only do waivers on Wednesday nights (before Thursday games) and on Saturday nights (before Sunday games). It helps keep things more fair for owners who aren't glued to a computer all day and who aren't constantly monitoring practice reports for injuries and then running to the waiver wire to pick up the 3rd string RB before anyone else does.
