I like the idea of limiting cap money changing hands until a certain point in the season. My other league saw a team run up $600+ by June by drafting a bunch of mediocre prospects and flipping them to the garbage teams. It wasn't even a contest after that.
If we did something like $10 max on trades until July 1st, I'd be fine with that. Let things sort themselves out and let the contenders go trade crazy after that.

That escalating cap we floated in 100 is something I would like to see. No cap $ changing hands for a couple months. Then have it escalated. Would prevent star for prospect dumps in April
-
Also, though I don't consider myself a fan of cap only trades, I think I did just that in this league last year. I do think it is a part of the game, and as long as the league doesn't veto it should be allowed. I remember being told one year, that I was saying I valued a player at his salary plus the cap I asked for, and no amount of reason seemed to work to budge the other owner, heh.
-
I'm not a fan of the hard cap, unless it's the escalating kind. At least that way, there isn't a true cap, it's just forcing people to wait before they light the fuse on the TNT of a roster they auctioned. If we want to vote on something like that, I'm fine with that, I can put together a google form or something before the season starts to see if people are interested.
-
In my other league, we had a trade where somebody dealt $100 in cap room even though the difference in salaries was only like $20-30 ... I did have a problem with that...

I'm not sure I'd want to set a hard rule quite like that, though I agree the cap room can get a little absurd and some people don't value it properly. I'd maybe consider a rule that at least you can't trade more cap room than the difference in salaries between the players involved (i.e. you can't just buy more cap room than actually needed). But in general though, I think that's part of the game and at some point everyone has to choose what side of the fence they are on for the year.

You'd get even more league turnover if teams that need to rebuild are unable to effectively. Cap manipulating trades are for sure a faster way to build a team back up over a couple of years as opposed to just winning all the right prospects.
-
it also leads to major league turnover when most of the team lose interest. We've had many owners come and go in the past 13 months
-
I don't like that idea personally. The ability to sell elite talent for free to contending teams for prospects is basically the only way to effectively rebuild in this format. Placing a hard cap on salary greatly reduces that ability.
-
Yah, sure. Can't hurt me...

Anyone interested in implementing a hard salary cap - something like $500 - to put an end to this trend of trading prospects for stars? Seems like every year only 2 teams are in the race, and they are the teams that stockpile $600+ in salary.

Since I'm sure you're all wondering, Kershaw is available. I know he has a hefty price tag, but I still will be looking for a justifiably high haul, and would be more than willing to take back bad money in a deal.

Heh, no worries--happens all the time. Not sure why Niv thought he fixed it. You just have to navigate away from this page after posting--there's a JavaScript function that retains the text.

Hey all, I just claimed WAR Horse (I did cancel that trade offer). Seems I have a bit of a rebuild to finish, so I'll hopefully get to see that through.

As for WAR horse, the team was abandoned again. Odd that the trade offer didn't cancel at that point.

Slack is a team messaging platform--some ottoneu players set one up and got Niv and others to buy in. There are about 350 players signed up. If you want in, let me know and I'll send your site email to one of the admins who can send you an invite.

Is WAR Horse in or out? Just got a trade offer from him, is it no longer valid?

Hey guys, heads up that I am about to abandon my team. Only about half the league is updating their trade blocks and the Slack chatter has been pretty minimal. Thanks for allowing me to scope it out for a few months.
