There's not been a whole lot of discussion -- i hope that's just folks feeling like things are running smoothly.
I'll be keeping this open for a few more days (till Aug. 12) but if there's no additional amendments we'll move on to voting (which I'll leave open Aug. 13-16) then scheduling the rookie draft.
Well, in the interest of promoting discussion, I'll throw out some proposals.
To further discourage tanking and reward striving middle-of-the-pack managers, replace the current lottery system, which is hand-cuffed to the NBA lottery, with an even odds lottery for the top 3 picks or top 5 picks?
Replace the Utility roster spot with an inactive spot? I've made similar suggestions in seasons past, but never to enough support. I continue to believe this would help offset the current cost of drafting foreign prospects and somewhat mitigate serious injuries without further depleting the FA talent pool. It would also create more line-up decisions week to week, reward shrewd management.
Increase the number of playoff roster moves allowed from one per week to two per week? Actually, at a glance, I don't see this laid out in the league constitution. We originally allowed unlimited playoff roster moves and I continue to think a better balance could be struck.
Formalize a shortened "review by commissioner" period for draft day deals involving draft picks and trades made at the cut down deadline? Some may remember me briefly quitting in a huff a couple of summers back when a trade of mine was overturned on a timing issue.
