Also I would prefer a live draft because a slow draft can be pretty taxing on a commish, but if others are cool with helping out
i'll co-commish if nobody has a problem with it

Yeah there is no option on ESPN for a slow draft. We would have to do it manually which is fine. I'll just need some help here and there.

I just hate the bitching and moaning that happens when someone is busy. It's annoying as hell. If everyone had busy lives, doesn't it make more sense to just knock it out in 3 hrs as opposed to having to check in everyday for 5 days?

No matter how busy someone is they surely have at least 5 minutes a day to pick I would think

I don't get that either. Best part of a live draft is everyone has the same amount of time to make a decision.

If it were just 5 minutes a day that's one thing. But the fact is that it's five minutes, three times a day, and at times that are not predetermined. last year I got like ten frantic texts and then there was the odd threat of I think someone picking for someone? I was on a plane. ian goes on the rig. etc. tgere will be times where i/you/we are busy for 8 hours straight. Lets pick a Monday night and draft during football

I'd be down with this. Great idea.
I think it can be tweaked to be more accommodating to other people's wants. Maybe run waivers twice a week (Sunday and Wed). Or maybe just expand rosters.
I think we are all in agreement for the most part that we want to eliminate/reduce streaming, and we don't want injured players to kill us.

There is no way non playoff teams should be locked out from picking players up. If you want to somehow limit it to keep someone from just picking up every notable player and dropping them then fine. But I seem to recall Paul Pierce being dropped some years ago during the playoffs so that someone could stream. Someone explain to me why a non playoff team should not be able to exercise their waiver priority in this situation.

I like to add/drop, but not for streaming purposes.
Id hate to see this league go to that waiver system or reduce add/drops.
Streaming is just part of the game and hasn't really been effective anyway. With 6 add/drops, you are essentially adding 1 person to your roster per night, and that player is usually shitty. It's not that big of a deal. Only the crappy teams tend to stream anyway and they aren't going to beat a good team because of it. People are exaggerating the effect it has.
You can either draft a bunch of good guys, or leave a spot open to stream a shitty player.

because they are no longer actively playing? they have no stake in what's happening. Because they no longer have to balance out winning with roster decisions. Because their season is over? Because it's unfair that a playoff team has to drop a player and then have no shot at them for the next year?
what's wrong with those players being added dropped going to the draft pool?

+1. Some retarded rules have been made in TDxL history due to streaming.

In keepers, you are always "playing."

Incorrect.

Neither does someone 30 games out at the trade deadline.

See answer #1.

I just remember some a-hole last year in the playoffs making FA acquisitions on players that weren't keepable, while having no competing interest in the playoffs.

Just because there are only 4 teams left doesn't mean the league is your own little playground. You should be able to improve your team as long as NBA games are going on.

I make them once every 2-3 years in TDBBL. Karma continues to have 3 top 5 players as keepers, drafts terribly, limps into the playoffs and blows it as usual.

this league is the only league that encourages and gives people rewards for losing.
in all sports there is a window where the competing teams are allowed to continue making roster decisions, and the eliminated teams are not. There are FA signing periods.
this happens in the NBA, the NFL, and MLB.
I don't know why you guys are in favor of this.
