I have a suggestion. We run 2 centers and 2 F and 2 G lineups without using the Utility spot. I would love it if we could make it just a tiny bit more flexible.

In the NBA there are around 60 serviceable Centers and with 2 center spots we need at least 3, if not 4 centers to be able to fill our active rosters everyday. Since because we are a 20 team league it puts much more pressure on teams who has no picks during a "let's get all the centers" bandwagon.

I suggest we change one C spot into Utility.

If you don't agree with that, my other suggestion is dropping a G and F spot for 2 Utility spots just like 90% of Yahoo leagues do.

What do you think?

Hey guys. It's been a while. This past year was crazy, but I'm back in if there's room and you'll all have me. Have to admit, it was odd not being in after 13 years of being in this league.
Incidentally, if I do get back in, my votes would be:
1) Lotto: 20th of August
2) Draft: 25th of August
3) IL: Yes, don't care if it's 1 or 2. It'd be nice if I didn't have to use any for a change.
4) Since I'm not in yet, whatever ping pong # one is left. I don't care
5) None.

As an aside, if you want to see some of what we've been up to, I upload YouTube vids on our travels.

Checking in.

1- 8/20
2- 8/25
3- Yes / 2 spots
4- 9
5- I like the suggestion from Sabonis to move a C spot into a Util spot, so I'll second that here.

[fraanciiscoo]

Regarding Sabonis new rule

when I step in to commish and help commish this year I made very clear I m here to help and get things on the move. My style is give GM´s the voice to decide.

Regarding his new rule I will put in this mode to the vote

What is the lineup you would like to have
1- PG SG G G SF PF F F C C B B B B what we had for years
2- PG SG G SF PF F C C U U B B B B cut 1 G spot and 1 F spot and add 2 U
3- PG SG G G SF PF F F C C U B B B add one more U spot insted of a Bench spot
4- PG SG G G SF PF F F C C C B B B Hey I add this one bc if the U is bc we only had 2 C spots and it was to get one more C theres no need to be a U

Imo I would with option 1 what we had for years bc
A) yahoo add the history results when you add a extra spot ofc we going to set new records in every cat for sure since now you either go small or big
B) Hey when you add 1 U ( option U spot its not grt that this spot will be used for a Center ) it will favor the teams that trade for deep bc insted of 10 we will have 11 active spots therefor deep will be favored
C) Eligibility - yahoo have PF/C there for this is a skill game you shouldnt be favored if you dont do research and make the best picks looking to the eligibility of them
D) trades - this U spots doesnt favor trades therefor takes most of the fun bc in every last season if you have 3 players with C Eligibility you should trade one of them otherwise you could have a guy that is top 100 in the bench just bc you have 3 C - Again this is a skill game and people shouldnt be favored just because they are layzy
I could go on and on

My vote is option 1

PS I didnt add the vote for insfo ( bc it would be option 2 or 3 or 4 ) neither sabonis ( for the same reason ) also they can change their opinion after reading what I wrote
