I don't really agree with lifting / increasing the moves cap in the playoffs.  Again, in the "real" NBA, teams don't get to make any roster moves.  The concept of playoffs is to allow the teams from the regular season to duke it out.  Why allow teams to completely change their rosters (or, more likely, constantly rotate one or two players to maximize games played)?

I maybe be in the minority, but I don't find the argument that persuasive with a trade deadline three weeks from the start of the postseason. Not a knock - actually I tip my cap again - but the Naturals that tore through the playoffs, Draft Dodgers included, didn't bear much resemblance to the regular season team that was grinding it out for the seventh seed.

And anyway, a large part of fantasy league appeal is working the wire, no? Ok, I'm biased since I like the speculative add more than anybody, Mkgoav excepted, but I still believe 1-2 more roster moves per week is more fun, would add to postseason activity, give eliminated managers something to do, and still a low enough cap to ensure against abuse.

Fortunately in a 20 team league with 16 man rosters, cycling players can't even really tip the scales the way it can in a more traditional league. And that same league and roster depth makes it much harder to find anyone other than flash in the pans F.A.s during the final weeks of the season.

But it's just a suggestion.

Hey GMs...After much discussion and horrible time management my players are going on strike indefinitely.  I'll let you know when we can come to terms.

Thanks,

We still going to go with a mid September draft date like the last couple of years?  Granted, I don't have any picks but I always look forward to draft day. Also, I assume trades are open even though we have the lockout?

I believe we should keep the same draft dates. It will break things up a bit while we wait for the millionaires and billionaires to divvy up their $$$.

I am always open for trades in either league.

Bump.

1. Would love to get more feedback on the poll question, if you haven't voted yet. I think there are a few others yet to chime in.

2. I confess, I totally forgot about the draft. Willing to go forward and hold it by the end of the month, or hold off until the labor situation has been resolved.

What do you guys want to do?

I would go for holding the draft in the next couple of weeks. The international offers have all pretty much dried up, so there is not much worry of any more draft picks disappearing overseas for a year.

What's the plan here?  Are we going to draft or what?  Can someone post the "official" order?
