Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Philadelphia is now on the clock until 4PM

[Im Coming Home]

I have an idea for the future, because I think the rule proposal thing is kinda flawed in that if the person proposing the rule doesn't have every single I dotted and T crossed and has a good but flawed bones of an idea, that maybe we should have a week prior to free agency or something to allow rule proposals to be suggested, tweaked, etc. and then at the end of the week they're voted on?

I think it's tough to perfectly predict what the people's reaction will be to a rule proposal, so to not force people to have to wait an entire season just because their initial idea/rule wasn't received positively is silly imo. Maybe we have a week where we propose ideas ourselves and then all of us can think tank and hammer the ideas out if they are "ok I agree with the idea but the fine print needs to be fixed and settled" type ideas..

Y'all got what you want. I'll go back to being inactive, i'll make my pick on time and not post in here as I won't have any flexibility

That’s being a GM in bad faith then..cmon bruh.

The deadline for rule proposals for the current submission cycle has passed. It’s no longer visible on the 1st page of the main BaF stickied thread. I’m certain bish will not allow any new 25th hour proposals to be submitted for the current voting cycle.

Damn, has it? I waited a year to submit mine I didn't see anything about the date being announced unless I'm blind

Bros trying to hold the game hostage because his rule change isn't well received..

Come on dude. MPH just gave you countless examples of players that were moved that were worse contracts or equally bad, he even told you how to do it too..

[Capn'O]

We should have a BAF All Star Break Owners Summit this year

In seriousness, this. We had a similar issue last year where rules got proposed and then tweaks to them would have gotten them passed but we were too late.

No one holding it hostage, I just will be a smart GM and let the contracts expire, but won't be active im discussions. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Worse contracts have been moved. I thought you were a good GM? What a hit to your BAT/BAF legacy.

Have you offered your first round picks to move them?

[Mecca]

Wahhhh you guys didn't accept my self serving rule change THATS IT IM BEING INACTIVE!!!!

I'll make my pick and wait until they expire. I don't want to be in the community. That's my choice and optionally, not mandatory.

Have you not realized I haven't had tradable picks? (Stepian rule)

I think in two seasons you posted 3-4 times...

All good, I have a BAT chip on my belt and two BAF Final appearances in 3 years here. I'll survive.

Look in the spoiler under where it says “Upcoming Schedule” on the stickied BaF main page. To me, this indicates the deadline has passed.

Yeah I’m ngl if he’s gonna operate as a GM in bad faith if he can’t get his way then you might as well replace him

Honestly, like we all kinda agree that Mecca's idea has some merit to it, but because he was too vague and wasn't able to predict others reactions and issues with the idea now he and all of us have to wait an entire other season just to wait for the new idea to pass?

Kinda silly. The NBA does not operate that way with rule changes I'm sure.

Maybe it's to help out bishs workload But I think all of us here can handle proposing ideas and discussing them for a week and then going to Bish at the end with the idea fixed up and think tanked.

Also I forgot about the rule last year that a lot of us agreed with, Is it not being proposed this year after we all think tanked it??

Nothing is stopping someone from having discussion before the rule deadline is in. Like this rule could have been posted here as a thought before the deadline a few days ago. I think people think they want to be anonymous so that people don't think there are bad intentions with the rules. I believe nearly everyone has good intentions with rule changes so I would be more for an open door policy where its posted in the discussion thread and people can tweak it ect....

Like the bones are there for this one...the application is not.

I have not had the chance to trade a pick up until this summer and i'll just eat Smart if I have to.

I'll make my pick on time and disappear just as the league wants me to. My strategy will be to hold until books open up IE 2010 Walsh
