All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I would like to add that the owner shouldn't have to pay 1st round pricing for 8th round talent. I say the value of his first picks should be the same as which round we are at at that point in the draft.
Missing the first 6 or so rounds is punishment enough, you want to make the person pay 10 million for a 3-4 million dollar talent? That's absurd.
Fair enough. It's as if they traded down to that spot anyway, so they shouldn't have to pay higher than where they're drafting. Whoever it is, they're behind the 8 ball to begin w/, having lost so many early round chances. Why penalize them any more?

Under that scenario I would change my vote because I think that would be more unfair to the other owners

I agree but they shouldn't get all those picks to make up. It should be the 8th round is there 1st pick and they go in the order like if they were to skip the 1st 7 rounds.

So, you want to give them 5 picks to make up for 7 lost rounds, and make them pay the prices of the first few rounds. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and I'd be suprised if you found anyone who'd want to take over the team.
I also fail to see how it's "unfair" to the other teams to give the guy 5 picks to catch up. He's already missed out on Big name players. If the guy was around to make his picks, I guarantee half the teams would've had to drafted differently.
All I'm saying is, telling someone that they get 8th round talent for first round price is stupid, and nobody that I'd want to compete against would do it, it would be suicide from the first step.

check my last post...people made good points..we are not going to make them draft at those high levels...but there is enough talent left to let them draft at the $5 mil and $4mil level...
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Didn't see it before I posted that, sorry. I agree with that idea. give them 4 picks at those prices, then just give them the Nasty Nights draft slot and continue on from there.
It becomes unfair when you factor the fact that they will make up for the loss of first few rounds of talent in two ways, A.) they will not have to trade out of or pass picks in rounds which will make up for talent loss and B.) If their most expensive player is paid $3 million lets say, makes it easy for them to lock up their players for future years and also makes them by far the most powerful owner come free agency next year when they can offer other owners players contracts that the owner can not match because of cap restraints, so yes there is a disadvantage to come in at this point but that is the original owners fault he should not have agreed to participate and then flake its like buying a business when it is down may not be his fault but its the price of admission
That works for me though they have disadvantage this year they do havean advantage next year
that's the problem. They have a HUGE advantage cap wise and will be able to gobble up FAs. I think that if we bring them in, we need to start them tomorrow morning by round 7. That makes it so there is still SOME talent left that is worth $5 or even $7.5, and they also don't have as big of an advantage next year.

at this point we may have to suck it up a little and just move forth regardless any advantage they might get in the future.

i think the problem is...we waited too long. Something like this should have happened in the 3rd or 4th round. It would be much more fair and wouldn't have changed things like giving him 5 picks in a row will do and letting him only have to pay $5 and $4 million for them. How about all 5 picks are $5 million a piece? That helps a little bit and honestly, i still think that there is a bunch of talent out there to start a brand new team. but it has to begin TOMORROW IMO.
How about 5 picks at $5 million and then they can start with Nasty Night's picks on Friday?
I can Live with that as well, there is more than enough talent out there for them to still be competitive or if we can get someone today we can do 4 picks at $5 mil and they pick in Nsty Nights spot tommorrow either way Ill support it
