Changing of the guard in WCB...
« on: October 08, 2023, 01:36:17 PM »
All,

Gary (Cornhuksers, @Alpha5) has volunteered to take the reins as commissioner for WCB. Quite the reversal of fortune for an owner who was not even in the league one year ago - first, league champ; now, league lead!

I'm not going anywhere, just trying to lighten my load a little bit. I will still be around to update the spreadsheet and help with league ops as needed.

I know that this was not an easy year, and I want to thank every owner - old and new - for making sure that we kept this league alive during a sad time and an abrupt transition. Here's hoping to a better 2024!

Thanks,
Dan :BOS:

I do want to re-brand this league as 'Powerhouse'. We'll run with the house thing with 'House rules' and 'House discussions' and such. To my knowledge we only have two open teams and some of our best GM's on site are in the league. With that alone, we are in great shape. I'll post the 2024 league calendar this week. The one and only rule change that I would absolutely like to implement is a 48 hour Off-season FA bid clock & 24 hour In-season FA bid clock. I believe teams should be able to make relatively quick moves in the event of injuries etc in season. I'll send a group message to all of our GMs today to open up dialog about the state and direction of the league.

Okay thank you guys

  • STLBlues91: Im just looking at the draft prospects this and next year figuring out my plan
    Today at 12:08:08 AM
  • STLBlues91: Im ready for that expansion draft
    Today at 12:08:19 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah so about that. One team get first pick in the expansion draft. The other gets first pick in the amateur draft.
    Today at 12:10:24 AM
  • STLBlues91: Yeah figured that was how it would be
    Today at 12:11:15 AM
  • Daddy: I could flip a coin but nobody but me would see it. So a number has been selected between 1-32. You are both getting pms along with the two other mods.
    Today at 12:12:09 AM
  • STLBlues91: Sounds good. When you thinking this will occur
    Today at 12:12:41 AM
  • Daddy: Whomever guesses closer to the number gets the 1st overall pick in the amateur draft. The other picks first in expansion.
    Today at 12:13:04 AM
  • Daddy: Im getting it out the way tomorrow
    Today at 12:13:49 AM
  • Daddy: Ive got the tools now to build the matrix and the league.
    Today at 12:14:20 AM
  • STLBlues91: Sounds good, I will be thinking of a solid number
    Today at 12:15:05 AM
  • Daddy: Best get to building it.
    Today at 12:15:32 AM
  • Daddy: Honestly idk why the NBA doesn't do it that way for expanding. Two teams at a time. Expansion draft to amateur draft. I think the idea is fresh and its execution will be pretty dope. ;)

  • jimw: I think the NBA goes one team at a time to give the one team a better talent pool in the expansion draft and also to keep the teams from complaining about losing more players
    Today at 01:25:47 AM
  • Daddy: Thats fair
    Today at 01:27:48 AM
  • BayAreaBallers: that makes sense
    Today at 01:32:38 AM
  • Daddy: I mean they only losing one guy anyway tho. We expose 10 players, protect 5 players, each team, all 30 will lose one player.
    Today at 01:36:30 AM
  • Daddy: The expansion teams will then both have 15 players heading into the amateur draft with picks #1 & #2.
    Today at 01:37:43 AM
  • Daddy: Each other team will still have 14 players and one first round pick.
    Today at 01:38:26 AM
  • Daddy: They need to hire me is what they need to do :rofl:
    Today at 01:38:53 AM
  • Daddy: Yeah you lose a guy to the expansion draft. Likely your 6th man. Then the very next day you draft his replacement and keep it moving.

  • STLBlues91: Daddy quick question in your messages
    Today at 01:44:14 AM
  • Daddy: We are good to go.:toth:
    Today at 02:01:09 AM
  • jimw: I think in the Bobcat expansion each team could protect 8 players. And I think the bobcats has to take at least 14 so half the league didn't even lose a player.
