Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

UDFK, be better plz.

I'm fine with daily, I really don't care, I just think it's completely stupid in a keeper league and it completely takes away the ability to buy early on a guy who you think will take off when he gets an increased role (due to trade, team direction, injury, etc). Doesn't let you stash rookies either. Last year JONAS was owned pretty much all year and I ALMOST kept him. If it's daily he wouldn't even be able to be on a roster. What do you do if you have 3 stars hurt? Besides suck? I think basketball is the most logical league there is for weekly line ups. Players roles change a lot, playing certain categories, playing your opponents weaknesses, it's just more fun to me. The league was fine the first year, I know you all say it makes the league inactive etc but I really don't think that was the case in the first year of the league. There's obviously something else that's a problem as well.

Regardless, popular vote will decide and at some point when we can actually get some organized sensible suggestions going that actually correlate with other suggestions then we can make some changes. We only have 6 or so months though so better get cracking...

Ya. I prefer the 3 step process to playing fantasy sports.

1) DRAFT
2) Logout of ESPN.com
3) Check Results at End of Season

FUN.

Daily league with no IR spots? Are people seriously thinking these suggestions through? This is a disorganized mess.
True, true. Daily leagues without a IR spot don't work. Never have in any successful league. Ever.

No penalization for stashing an injured player = FUN. Mindlessly picking up someone and forgetting about him on IR = FUN!

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

Tbh I was less active because my team was so shit and so riddled with injuries, I really just stopped caring later in the season, especially once both Love and Rondo went out for the season.

Flex was probably the most active guy the 1st year so when he left no one really filled that void. Magic kinda gave up on the season because he didn't like his team and wasn't as active. Brandon and GA pretty much quit because it wasn't a daily league and they didn't think anyone could compete with your team.

That pretty much sums it up.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

I don't think there's enough opportunity for shitty teams to do stuff during the season to prepare for next season which is a problem, definitely. Need more draft pick trading and in my honest opinion right now, we should witch to 3 keepers and 2 VRs. VRs give shitty teams an opportunity to rebuild.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

Ya, that's right.

In my cash keeper league a guy can be VR'd for a maximum of 2 years and a guy can be kept (in either capacity) for a maximum of 5 years. I would limit the 5 years to 3 years but other than that I think it's good.

So if you were to VR Bob Smith in the 14th RD this year, and next year, you'd have to use him as one of your 3 keeper spots for that 3rd time.

Years of being kept are not erased by trades either, so if you do have a guy that's been VR'd twice it's not like you can trade him to someone else and they get renewed VR capability.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

GA you can be a sarcastic schmuck if you chose but as I'm concerned you quit and I'm in the process of replacing you. Therefore your opinions are no longer needed.

People get out what they put in. If everyone put a lot of effort into fantasy sports then we could have a HIGHLY competitive weekly lock league. Not saying I put that much effort into this league either as my focus is more on winning my cash leagues but ya, I put enough. Everyone's fine with weekly lock until they have a player get hurt. Even though I ultimately LOST THE SEASON because of weekly lock I still fully support it. So ya.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** -

I guess the IR spots are fine for a daily league in a keeper league as it would be gay to have to give up your keepers when they get hurt, but in no way should we have 13 roster spots with two IR spots if we're going to continue to do weekly locks. Seriously, I won't even consider playing next year if that's the case as the waiver wire is absolute shit for most of the year and that AIN'T COOL.


also I never gave up, I still made moves and roster changes when I needed to. There was just no one to discuss anything with and I can't just harass JIM all year long when there's nothing to harass him about.
