The standings rn are identical to the lockout season in 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasyscrub 365 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 12 hours ago, MWon said: Yeah, that's actually what I did as the commish for all my leagues. I locked roster changes as well though (not that moving around your players matters much when there are no games). It simply isn't fair to grab drop injured players off the IL (e.g. Isaac or Brog) to take direct advantage of the virus affecting the league (though I was easily able to do so myself). Ah, this is what I'm hoping will happen - quarantine everyone for at least 2-4 weeks, then test all rostered players and anyone coming to the arenas. Once cleared, have fan-less games (I dunno about Ronnie2k, haha), and possibly shorten the season. The NBA can at least make money off the televised revenue to compensate for ticket sales and other losses. It'd also be more fair to higher seeded NBA teams (e.g. Bucks, Raptors, Lakers, Nuggets) who have worked hard to win games. Would also possibly allow us to play fantasy this season and avoid issues with money leagues and/or owners with high seeding (though that's a bit selfish on my end since I'm winning quite a few leagues). Of course, there's also the side effect of giving time to guys like Simmons and KAT to potentially return this season (again, selfish on my end since I've got them, lol). Definitely wouldn't be surprised if they canceled the entire season though, or at least postponed it for a prolonged amount of time. nah they wont cancel, they need to crown a victor. They'll resume once all the players got the clear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheehc 2 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I am in a roto league with 12 others and we all bought in at start of the year.. Due to the cornavirus and shut down of NBA what would you do as commish? A) Pay out based on current positions (even though some have played way more games - already maxed out some positions..) B) Return everyone's money and call it a Force Majure event... C) Something else... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure they will express disappointment but all owners understand the NBA has to protect their product's reputation in the eyes of the public, and will just have to deal with whatever the outcome is.

Why should they be paid and rewarded for this? I understand that if you're coming 1st but also have one of the highest total games played, then you should not be rewarded prematurely. I'm arguing the fact that if a team is clearly in front (with the fewer games played), then they should not have to compensate for others when they were 90% going to win. It'll be a similar situation in the English Premier League and how Liverpool is miles ahead of next team behind them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
