[QUOTE="LeapingShark, post: 1767951, member: 15618"] The selection method for the awol players makes sense, but the part that I was worried about is when the yahoo rankings are misleading. For example if there's an injury to a player and he's been out for weeks, he may still have a great ranking, but putting him in the lineup over healthy players (of lesser ranking) wouldn't be at all competitive (though admittedly, any attempt to select any players at all, rather than having a "zero management" situation, is an improvement, so I still like the basic idea). In some of these injury cases it may be obvious if the player (er, basketball player) is out for the remainder of the season, so his ranking could be discarded. But in other cases the distiction becomes grayer. You may have to consider the "last month" thing with the active lineup too, but even that can be misleading. Eventually the whole decision-making process approaches the same kinds of decisions that we'll all be making with our own teams. Ya, I like the 3 day trade extension. It would give everybody a little breathing room to consider the repercussions of the nba trades, so we could make appropriate adjustments. Anyhoo, I think that the interest in our fantasy league will probably (hopefully) pick up when training camps start. Especially when everybody starts seeing player interviews on the nightly sportscasts and such. I just realized that the depth of the productive players available throughout the year should see a slight bump this year, since having an extra team in the nba will introduce about 7500 more pts, 3500 rebounds, and other miscellaneous stats to the nba totals, and thus potentially more towards our own totals. I'm also really eager to see the new-look Lakers. Kobe and Odom will likely be great, and I'm wondering how the horde of new players will mesh with them. It's like a totally different team now.
