07/29 Podcast

Hey Dan, Thanks for another informative podcast. I have been commissioner for 15 years for a highly competitive league. 12 team, 9 cat, H2H. Throughout my experience, I have found fantasy NBA not to be the most perfect process to run a league, but through trial and error we have made a very successful league on how it operates. points I wanted to address regarding your discussion was: 1. Trade Deadline In my league we keep the trade deadline near end of January or early February. The reason being is that when we kept the trade deadline closer to when playoffs started, bottom seeded teams were doing lop sides trades to top tier teams in favor of players that had better end of the regular season schedules. There is a penalty in my league where the last place team has to pay a penalty for finishing last. After I changed the trade deadline to earlier, we have not had an issue. 2. League votes for trades: All trades are pushed through in my league. The only exception is when a new GM joins the league, all trades involving them go through a league vote, and if you vote no you need to state a reason why. This is to protect the league from the uncertainty and unfamiliarity of what the new GM is capable of or being taken advantage of. 3. Roster moves: 4 moves per week has been working great. 4. To reveal draft order or not? Past few season we have been revealing draft order a few weeks before the Actual draft to know your position. Picking names out of a hat. This becomes a predraft party where we reveal the draft order live. Are you in favor of revealing the draft order or not? Before this, we wouldn’t know our draft order until you logged into the draft room Day is the draft. Pros and cons to both approaches... 5. Not setting up rosters: In the past we have had GMs who give up in the final weeks of The regular season . And would affect the integrity of the league. So I enforced a policy where there is a monetary penalty per each offense, each offense after the penalty is more. After 4 offenses your not allowed back in the league. Also the last place team has to pay a penalty so there is an incentive for bottom teams to keep trying. Looking forward to your comments, PJ Shah from Chicago

Interesting, I guess this has something to do with the sports culture difference. We are all from Brazil in this league, and here we have more of this "punishment" culture of being the bad teams coming from our football, so we just find completely fair to punish the bad teams. Different from the sports with draft.

That makes a lot of sense. Culture has everything to do with it. A league in Brazil as compared to the US are 2 completely different things. I have competed in leagues with players from different parts of the world and the "rules" and "expectations" vary by culture and region.
All the best brenno!
