I think I disagree with the comments re an approach for dealing with inactivity. I am going to heap responsibility on Lucky/the active members of the league, but I think common sense can rule here without having set procedure. if someone is benching players, it will be painfully obvious. it can then be dealt with with the commissioner enforcing penalties (loss of a draft spot, etc). but to go based on games played ignores the reality that sometimes injuries strike...in crazy amounts. and I dont think it is fair to say to someone, you need to drop x injured player and replace him with that scrub just so you can get a game played checked off.
It's true that sometimes injuries hit --- i lost major games from Biedrins, Kirilenko, Nate Robinson, etc last year -- but that's why we have benches.
Even a team that loses 3-5 starters should be able to sub in guys on their bench for them. It's that GMs decision if they want to drop guys due to injury, but with 11 starting positions and 16 man rosters that's hardly the only option.
I didn't/wouldn't drop Biedrins b/c he was hurt, but i did go out and make a bunch of deals that eventually netted me Ibaka, Chandler and Haslem in exchange for the "depth" at the wing postiion i had. Did those 3 perform at Biedrins' level? NO, but at least I worked at it. (And surely not every decision i made was a good one --- i dropped Robin Lopez, traded D.Blair, etc)
the team i inherited was BAD. when i started i was in line for the 4th or 5th pick.... and b/c I was active ended up with the 11th pick. But i also felt liek there was a ceiling b/c other GMs at the bottom had checked out --- weren't willing to move talent that was sitting there unused.
Maybe I should drop it, that way i can add players like Marcus Thronton, Beaubois and Shawn Livingston off the waiver wire again
