The league will be activated at noon today. All free agents will be on waivers for 2 days. Waiver priorities will be in reverse draft order.
Regarding trade approval and processing:
Trade review is set for Commissioner approval. After a trade is announced, managers have 24 hours to register an objection by either posting here or by sending me an email (or both). If at least 3 objections are received during that period, then all managers will be surveyed for a vote. 6 negative votes within the next 24 hours would be required to overturn a trade.
If a vote is not required, the trade will be processed as soon after the initial 24 hour period as possible. If a vote is required, the trade will be processed (if not disapproved) as soon as possible after the voting period ends. If those 24 hour windows end late at night, it is possible that a trade may not be processed until the following morning. (I will do my best to be prompt, but I'm not staying up until 1am to process a trade.)
Regarding placing players on the disabled list:
1. Any player drafted may immediately be placed in a DL slot if they are Yahoo-eligible to be put there.
2. Any DL-eligible player may immediately be placed in a DL slot if they have appeared in an NBA game since the time they were added to the roster.
3. Any other player on the DL may only be placed in a DL slot after they have been on the roster for a minimum for 10 days.
The limitation in item 3 will be manually administered. Be particularly aware of this in the next week or so. I don't want to see a scramble to pick up disabled free agents and immediately warehouse them in a DL slot. If this is detected, you will be required to either drop the player, or to put him back on your active roster for the required waiting period.
Removal of a player from a DL slot will be subject only to the standard Yahoo rules. Be aware that if you have a player in a DL slot who is no longer on the DL, you will be unable to make any add/drop transactions until that player is removed from the DL slot.
Are there any other rules, guidelines, or agreements that we should discuss prior to the start of the season? |

This season is too long! Harrington just went on the IL. Radmanovic and Boozer went there a few weeks back. Antoine has missed 3 straight games. Claxton is in and out, missing last night again.
It's going to be a struggle stay ahead of AP10 at this pace!

I love that Antawn Jamison can come back for a game and play great while he's still on the IL for me, then apparently sit the next two out because they "want to take it slow".

Give us the precious!!!!!!!!!!! We need AP10 to shoot some 3s to keep SY behind him. We hope the same from BJ. It would also help when mr. Wade could come back to earth. Man, has he had a season.

LMAO, it's just been one of those years. Quoting myself in the ASB thread:
"In a perfect world, I can see myself finishing with as many as 65 points in the standings (I only have 50 now)... that would be a MAJOR accomplishment, but I'll still be really happy if I can even hit 60 again by season's end."
Well.. as of a week ago, I had scratched and clawed my way up to 58 points, and was feeling pretty dang good about it!
Of course, today I landed right back where I started with the big 5-0. *sigh* It's like I'm line dancing or someting... one step forward, one step backward... it's just been one of those years.

Lebron James is the Yahoo Roto equivalent of the Messiah. To call him 'King' just does not do him justice. I just saw his line from last night and my eyes almost popped right outta my head. That kid has skills.
And thank goodness he's around, because our team is creaking - Hill, Donyell, Fortson, Z all on the shelf. However, i think we may have managed to weather Slackjaw's assault. It ain't over yet, but almost there!

I sense that LeBron realizes the Cavs aren't going far in the playoffs if at all and seems to be concentrating now on filling out the stat line.

It is very comforting to see some great rebounding from our team at a point where it is absolutely necessary. Our recent Ely and Haywood finds have been important there. Hopefully we can hold on. It would suck to make it all the way to Mordor and then plummet to our death right at the end!

Yeah, but that won't help you win, since it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that we'll hit 400 3s in the next 4 days to overtake you there ;)
Seriously though Mike, it's murder to be without TD and Jermo for so long. Had they been playing, you would definitely be in or around pole position.

A lot of GMs have been bitten by the bug, that's for sure. The bugs were swarmin' this season. I also hate the injuries and wish it was like a video game where you could turn them off. On the other hand, it opens up new doors for bench guys, and causes decision making, which can be fun.

Well, time to put the gunners into the lineup for the regular season hurrah. Determined to steal that extra point from bj in 3s! That even means letting Mr. Gordon loose - he's been glued to our bench for the last month trying to protect our FG%. Hopefully that won't matter tonight unless we contrive to go 0-150 or something!
The Yokels put up a hell of a fight, that run SY made was ferocious. Fortunately, we had this kid Lebron, who stepped it up to another level during the final month or so.

Woohoo, the Ring is officially coming to Europe, with our boy 'Bron ending just as he started - huge!
This league was awesome again this year, i had an absolute blast. The competition throughout the league was great to watch. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts in the Retrospective thread...i assume we'll be having one like last year, Guru?
I guess with Florian winning the TSN title (damn Dave, you ran him close though!), the Euros have well and truly returned to form. Long may it continue.

congrats guys. After the charge I made, I reached a wall the past couple of weeks and couldn't seem to gain any more. I guess I'll have to take solace in being the top North American finisher.. and top single-manager team... and top team with at least four white guys. Getting the top performer with the 9th pick was huge for Smeagol.

Congratulations to the Euros as well as the other top teams. It seemed to me to be similar to last year in that much of the time it wasn't that close but perhaps I wasn't paying attention to the race WAY ahead of me.
Nice job by Sanforders would followed up last years gold with a bronze.
I think I was fifth also last year but I think I was not as far off the leader as I was this year.

I've been pretty jazzed about the off-season and the Pacers chances for this coming year. However, them letting James Jones go for a second round pick and a trade exception didn't exactly fuel my fire. I'm hoping they are still going to package that exeption with Pollard and Anthony Johnson or Eddie Gill for Magliore, but they seem to be sending mixed messages about their intentions to save luxury tax money. They didn't waive Croshere but instead chose Miller, which costs them 12 million more in salary and penalties this year and next. That wasn't a cost-saving move, but now they let James Jones go and claim they couldn't afford to re-sign him and that they are on a mission to get under the luxury tax threshold.
Mike D, are you going to draft all the point guards again?

Oh my goodness, i completely forgot how amazing it is to immerse yourself in about 14 cross referenced Excel sheets in order to come up with something that one day might resemble a draft order.
I think i'll just make it easy on myself at the end of this season, and enroll for that RIHC withdrawal class i saw at the local college ;) PR, in case you hadn't noticed, i am also itching to get this thing started again. Not many people can say that after being buried in a avalanche of about ten gazillion 3s from last year, but Mike...hey, i'm just a glutton for punishment.
In all seriousness, we must be only about a month away from drafting, right? It's going to take that long for Team Smeagol to worry about how we can possibly draft a Divac-less roster!!
