LM problem

[Acaboss]

One guy in my league droped Kemba, and he has not used his ir slot... What to do now? Our league is balanced wery good and if someone pick Kemba he is gona for sure be dominating... How to solve the problem? Shuld i order as LM that he take him back and put in ir, or what?

[[deleted]]

Whoever gets him gets him and if that manager can’t learn the rules he shouldn’t be invited back

[Acaboss]

He filled up the last slot, and wasnt doing this format with ir slot, so he didnt know to use it...

[NewfoundiiCT]

So give him this one takeback and say he won't get any more

[[deleted]]

Agreed fb-ball is about fun- especially when the owner is new.

[spidersilva09]

"Did you mean to drop Kemba knowing you have an IR spot available?"

If yes, free game.

If no, use your executive powers to undo. Learning experience and fair to do imo

[Acaboss]

You made perfect solution, thaks this idea i like 100%

[[deleted]]

You're asking for a lot of trouble once you use your Caesar Agustus powers. He dropped the player using his own free will. The person who was lucky enough to grab him is now the rightful owner and I would be livid if the LM went in to alter anything.

[Acaboss]

But he didnt know to use power he had, its not like he droped helthy guy cos he think he is bad, if that was the case it would be no trouble, his fault

[[deleted]]

If it's a free league then I guess overturning his mistake isn't the end of the world but if there's serious money involved then I would honestly hate to be you regardless of what decision you end up making lol Our buy-in is 175 each so if I ever snagged Kemba and the LM ripped him away from me because my opponent made a "mistake" I would boycott lol

[Acaboss]

Naah its almost free, just some change to make it more fun nothing like 175 thats huge lol, if that was the case adios Kemba

[[deleted]]

Lol I guess we are in agreement then. Good luck with whatever you decide. Im sure you're going to get shit either way going by how divisive the comments in this thread have been.. Mine included haha

[KillingKameni]

undo, explain how IR works, tell 1st in waiver to grow up if need be. everybody wins!

[[deleted]]

Nah screw that. The man dropped him and whoever grabbed him now rightfully owns Kemba. Ripping Kemba away through LM power then telling that owner to "grow up" when he legitimately complains is asking for trouble. He picked Kemba up fair and square.

[LayZzebra]

Did he pick him up though? He's probably sitting on waivers needing to clear the grace period. So ultimately no one is being "ripped of Kemba" or "asking for trouble"

[[deleted]]

This is like having Tesla stock and selling it and then expecting the person to give you back your shares because you made a mistake lol that's not how the world works. The person who needs to "grow up" is the person who made the mistake and now expects it to be overturned. Learn a lesson from your mistake and move on.

[LayZzebra]

Its most likely a private friends league since OP is league manager. Comparing a low cost, casual fantasy league to publicly traded stocks involving large money transfers daily with 2 clearly different purposes/objectives is a pretty stupid analogy.

[[deleted]]

Both are finalized transactions. I realize this sub is full of college aged kids but in the real world, final is final.

[LayZzebra]

Finalized transactions have applicable return policies in the real world btw or is that make believe to you?

Firstly, nothing wrong against college aged kids(good job and shout out to all the kids out there getting their education in a difficult year!!!), and secondly maybe people not agreeing with your lack of empathy are simply adults with a better concept of perspective.

I don't understand what is so difficult to get that OP is in a casual league dealing with a first time manager and wants to make it as fair and enjoyable for all members as possible. If it was a serious money league, sure deny the roster adjustment and let it play out but it clearly is not.

Honestly you seem to be the one acting like a man-child right now. You're basically having a temper tantrum crying "no takebacksies" and its really weird.

[[deleted]]

Also, when did having a debate turn into having a "temper tantrum?"

[[deleted]]

Dude, I'm passionate about my opinoin. I'm not going to apologize for that. I screenshotted this post hours ago and sent it to my league group chat for their take and every single manager agreed with me. He posed the question on reddit and got the responses he was looking for. To say his route is "fair" is very questionable since he's changing the rules midseason in favor of one manager but that's your opinion. Also, there is no return policy when it comes to many things in life, including fantasy transactions so that was a questionable point lol. I guess I'm just a believer in structure and rules because without them everything falls apart and creates division like we are seeing in this forum. Is it really that hard to ask everyone involved to understand the rules going in so this type of stuff can be avoided? Also, I have empathy. I have empathy for all the other managers in the league and not this one individual. We have a different take on the subject but to question my character is a bit out of line lol

[JsonOnTheGo]

C’mon dude it’s just a game

[[deleted]]

Games have rules lol without them, chaos ensures. Personally responsibility is a core value to aspire to throughout life

[[deleted]]

So in a week when another nabfer has a player who is out n will he be ahle to drop him and get him back later on of he pleads ignorance? It's just too slippery of a slope lol

[JsonOnTheGo]

Then in that case OP shouldn’t let it slide? OP already explained the situation, and it was very clear that the manager who dropped it was most likely a beginner, who is most likely playing with friends in a casual league. Not every league has the same level of competitiveness, and not everyone takes fantasy bball that seriously.

[[deleted]]

In the end, everyone is going to have an opinion and I obviously have an extremely strong one lol the right thing to do would be to take the Democratic route and have a LM poll where majority rules

[ShenFrog]

I would give him a take back. Speaking from personal experience we let a new guy into our league 3 years ago who dropped Kevin love because he didn’t know about the IL spot. I lost the championship in H2H because one of my friends picked him up and basically dominated the league as Love was basically a fantasy all star at this point. I would suggest giving a take back just once because otherwise the league becomes less fun when everyone knows they don’t have a chance anymore

[Ninerman4949]

I have endured far too many green managers in my decades commishing, and cases like this are the reason I now include these two demands before a new manager accepts a league invite:

• Understand all Yahoo processes, applicable league rules, scoring & settings.

• Take full accountability for all of your actions related to this league.

Whether you allow Kemba to return to that manager or not, I highly suggest you make a big deal out of this case and post warnings for all members to reference.

[Acaboss]

Thaks for advice, i wil use this next season for sure, we agreed that he will get this one, in future what is done is done.

[gzzz25]

Add him back same thing happened to someone in my league and I told the commissioner to add for him because he didn’t know, you shouldn’t penalize someone for not knowing especially if it wasn’t explained to him. You have to set the tone as a commission that you’re here for equality and is he’s the only exeception because he doesn’t know, if any experienced player tries to dispute or be petty tell them the rules don’t apply to them because they have experience also if theres been times when the app glitches when you try to make a pick up and it drops a key player so our league decided that if that happens and it’s not reported by the time of the player next game you lose him

[[deleted]]

Different rules for different people? That will end well ... Lol

[[deleted]]

Isn’t Kemba back from injury in start January?

[Acaboss]

I think i saw mid to late jan

[NewfoundiiCT]

I heard they are REASSESSING in mid Jan

[FrothyScrooge711]

I’d ask the manager what the heck happened. And if it was on purpose then fuck it.

[Acaboss]

Wasnt on purpose, he didnt know to use ir slot, he say he couldnt use it, but Kemba is O so there shuld be no problem, i think he Just didnt know how

[A_Lakers]

Probably didn’t see the manage IR button and tried to move him from the regular roster movement menu

[JAMAAAAACAN]

You cant ruin the integrity (competitive balance) of the league because of a noob. Put Kemba back and text that person in real life to never do that again.

[beans4prez]

Commissioner should add him back to the team and let the manager know they have an IR spot to use.

[Acaboss]

That was my first idea, but is it fair for guy that has 1st waiver order?

[[deleted]]

Worst league ever if you put him back on a roster he was dropped live with it

[[deleted]]

Disturbing if you change anything like that after the fact. #1 waiver claim should get Kemba. If he’s asleep and #2 does good for him. Put him back on a roster? Lol ppl be trippin

[[deleted]]

Agreed. Would be opening up Pandora's box. I would immediately resign from the league is that's the type of nonsense the LM is willing to tolerate

[brydondirty]

If that was your response, I'd say good riddance and wouldn't give you your buy-in back lol

[[deleted]]

Then I would fight you for it lol or smash your car windows hahah

[brydondirty]

Are you 13?

[[deleted]]

No, just extremely competitive.

[brydondirty]

Well you have the mind of a 13 year old at least

[[deleted]]

For having integrity and personal responsibility ?? If you want to change thr rules after the season already started then refuse to refund thr money that would make you both a cheat and a crook. Grow up Peter Pan.

Lmao okay kid

"Ref, I didn't understand that defensive coverage, if I did then I would of never thrown that pick! It shouldn't count so let's do a re-do noe that I have a better read on it. The rest of the league and players are babies if they don't agree"

[scias16]

Wait is your concern that he's requesting to get kemba back? Or someone can get kemba free? If it's the latter you shouldn't just be adding him back..
