There's a fine line between being realistic & fun and being too realistic & not fun. Because of the "carryover effect" in this league, we have to take into consideration the interest of future GMs as well as current ones. We can't let a bad GM destroy a team so much that new ones won't take them over. The first season hasn't started yet and I'm already looking for the 60th GM to join this league.
I know I'm joining the party a bit late; my opinion on full NTC's is that they are no good for Roto. I could see putting a partial NTC on free agent signees in the form of NTC61 (No Trade Clause/ No Wavier Clause till June 1) that would be June 1 of the year the player is signed, this helps control the way free agent signing is done in that you the GM has to make sure your signing someone you want and will use for at least the first half of the season, your not just signing someone to flip them on April 2 for a package that will have no effect on your squad for a few seasons. The player could still be DL'd within league rules and procedures, he just can't be traded or waived till June 1, the reason for June 1 is so that the signing team is making a commitment to field said player, but should they decide they would like to move him at or before the trade deadline they have roughly 2 months to do so.A full no trade clause can become very crippling to a organization in Roto, unlike real life we do not have insurance policies with lords of london on our players, we can't afford to shelve a 40 million dollar bust & just add payroll to make up for that ill advised signing. a full NTC puts a huge burden of risk on the owner who if he/she makes to many of these errors & the squad becomes a tot al nightmare, they bail & we the league have to try to find a new owner whose willing to work with in a bad situation not of their doing. I've been doing Dynasty Leagues for a few years & I've seen guys taking over horrible squads & they very rarely last a season.WEll this is my 2 cents on this subject.Well that's my two cents on this subject
