We have all had difficulties in standard basketball leagues with being forced to roster injured players. I know some find the leagues challenging but I always see some guys on the wire that could help my team IMO. For example in BBall 4 to start the season I had Beverely, Richardson and Payne all injured. With this proposal my team would be a little more competitive to start the season.
This is an opportunity to make our leagues far better. This would help make the experience better for existing managers, and help in bringing in prospective managers.
Proposal:
Addition of two (2) IL slots in standard Basketball leagues. These weren't added when FSC Basketball started because Yahoo didn't have IL at the time. Now is the time to add it in!
This would apply to existing FSC basketball leagues 1-6 and new FSC basketball leagues (believe there are plans to possibly start another depending on the growth of our management base DE can confirm)

I agree with this rule change. In BBall 1 I have two long term injured players that I want to keep that are making it difficult to have a competitive team.

Every other sport has these types of spots in the regular leagues (hockey and football at least); don't see why we wouldn't add them to Basketball leagues!

I agree we should be able to have IL slots.

I also agree... we should definitely have these spots available to us.

Just realized that BBall 6 already has the IL slots in place.

With rosters at 16 and 2 IL spots - That is a possible 360 players on rosters. FA pool is already thin. So I guess it don't matter.........Rosters at 14 and 2 IL spots and 3 round draft seems workable. At least some halfway decent FAs......Just my 2 cents worth.

IL sports will be added to standard basketball next year. Will look at roster size.

Are we adding IL spots? There is one IL spot in Basketball 1 but I think there should be at least 2 total. Only a few days to correct this before the season starts.

This was only a proposal and as you can see by the rulebook 1 IL spot was implemented.

I propose this get added to 2 IL spots. Dynasty leagues are about having players for the long haul, no? Having one IL spot doesn’t accomplish this in my opinion especially when there are so many teams in these leagues.

disagree on 2 spots, this dilutes the player pool too much

would make it even harder then it already is sometimes to find replacements

It’s already diluted because there are too many teams in the leagues. It doesn’t make sense that in a dynasty league you can’t keep the guys that are worth keeping because they are hurt and forfeit the season by not being able to pick up a replacement.

I appreciate that the following comment I made in the general section back in August does not necessarily refer to IR function, however I do believe it has some relevance here anyhow:
"Just wondering - in fantasy basketball with 20 teams and 16 players if need be would you ever consider reducing the league to 16 teams? Reason - considering the NBA has between 240 to 270 rotation players 16 teams with 16 players 256 players would fit nicely. As it is now free agency pick up with 320 players is largely irreverent - not necessarily a bad thing. However the excess 60 players are also largely irreverent. Of course if you can easily fill 6 leagues with 20 teams my point may also be largely irrelevant. Just a thought. Yes I do appreciate that 3 of the 16 positions on your roster to some degree functions as a development team."

It doesn’t make sense that in a dynasty league you can’t keep the guys that are worth keeping because they are hurt and forfeit the season by not being able to pick up a replacement. Are you suggesting leagues be reduced to 16 teams to increase the available number of free agents? That would be a nightmare, telling 4 managers they have to give up their teams, from my perspective I would do anything to ensure that never happens as that would likely could result in managers leaving the network we've worked so hard to maintain. Do you want there to be more IL slots? This would decrease the number of available free agents. I am trying to understand the cause of your concerns, seems tome we are talking about 2 different issues here! I've played basketball a few years here, there's a few points I want to make: 1 IL slot is usually enough for most teams from experience. Lets say there were more IL slots and you put injured players on there, what is the likelihood that a player you pick up is going to make a huge impact considering the player pool is diluted as you have already referred to? "can't keep guys that are worth keeping", no one is forcing you to drop players, injuries are a part of sports. In theory, a person could certainly even make the case that 2 IL spots isn't enough and there should be 3, 4, 5 or 10. Why is it specifically 2 spots that you are proposing? 1 is certainly sufficient in many instances as like Hurricanes alluded to the bottom end of a roster functions as a bit of a developmental squad anyhow. I struggle to see the impact of how adding additional IL slots to basketball would help this as the players teams could add will not make an impact in most instances. We have only just implemented 1 slot for this year. I would love to see how this season goes with 1 IL slot before we consider any changes. As I recall this discussion with the board happened in such a manner that we should implement 1 IL slot to see how this is used. Thank you for the suggestion though. I want to say that the board will review the points when looking over changes to be made for next year. |

All other sport leagues have many IR spots, yet basketball has one. It’s fine, I’ll keep proposals to myself. It seems as though only some guys have a say.
All I’m saying is if a team is competing to win and they lose two guys to IR they can’t supplement their team at all, even if the player pool is diluted. Someone is always better than no one.
