I'm fine with ending it if that's what people want.

By the way, you are on the clock...but the clock is about to end soon.

So this thing kind of died down after griff left. I guess we're still waiting on dw though, fingers crossed.

If we don't finish this one (hope we do though), anyone want to start over? To make it more interesting, we could use a FGA limit when drafting (leagues on RealGM generally use 90.0 per game).

My personal vote would be to simply start over under the same basic idea (weighted scoring, neutral board does the voting, etc...), with some twists to make it more interesting.

1. Working under a salary cap (from WhatIf Sports)
2. FGA limit (that's a neat idea actually)

Or something along those lines...the smart kids can come up with the details.

I'm fine with anything (I don't want to commish the new league though) and leaving it to a vote.

1. Keep Going to 10 players (will take longer, but more full teams)
2. Keep going to 8 players (middle ground to balance speeding this up with our original 10 player limit)
3. Starting Lineups Only (really speed it up)
4. Blow it up and do something new.

1 Vote for blowing this up and starting a new league :)

Maybe this time you guys won't choose Griff instead of Abe?

I'll vote with the majority on whichever option is chosen. In general it seems people like drafting more than the actual writeup/strategy/voting stuff, which admittedly is a lot of work lol.

BTW Bush if you liked Taylor's site, this one is great too (mostly behind a paywall, though he has some free articles up): https://cleaningtheglass.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Falk is a former FO guy for multiple teams).

Two other places where you can find interesting reads:

(1) Nylon Calculus (Taylor is a contributor there) https://fansided.com/nba/the-step-back/nylon-calculus/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(2) This thread on the APBRmetrics board posts daily links http://www.apbr.org/metrics/viewtopic.p ... start=1395" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

I think we should just go 8 deep to keep the thing from dying.

It very well might be dying and/or dead.

I did what I could.
