It's raw, you donkey!
Hey @SteelersPride , well that's that. dangit, why are you so simple minded?
No, it wontWe already get to draft our draft positions, so IMO trading draft position is an unnecessary complication
And trading individual picks will not get the support it needs to reach constitutional amendment.
Well, for the simple-minded, here's what you need to do. The first thing you would have to do is actually read the constitution and figure out which part you want to amend. That would be this section:
IV. The Draft:
i. A random drawing will take place to determine the order that each team gets to pick their draft spot. For instance whoever draws #1 gets to choose what draft spot they would like first. Whoever draws #2 gets to choose what draft spot they would like second, and so on and so forth until whoever draws #12 gets whatever spot is left. Divisions will be determined by the draft spot chosen. Division A will be draft spots #1, #4, #7, and #10. Division B will be draft spots #2, #5, #8, and #11. Division C will be draft spots #3, #6, #9, and #12. No trading of draft spots or draft picks is allowed. (amended 2016)
Then you would need to come up with the amended wording that you would like:
Steelers would like to propose that the "No trading of draft spots or draft picks is allowed" section be removed and replaced with something like this:
If you want the trading to be able to occur after we select our draft spots it would look like this:
"After each team selects their draft spot (1-12), all teams will have the opportunity to trade the draft spot they selected with another team's draft spot for a period of one week."
or if you want it to occur before we select our draft spot it would look more like this:
"After the random drawing for teams to pick their draft spot occurs, each team will have three days to trade draft selection spots with another team."
or if you want it to be able to occur in either place it would look like this:
"After the random drawing for teams to pick their draft spot occurs, each team will have three days to trade draft selection spots with another team. Then once the draft spot selection has occurred, teams will have the opportunity to trade draft spots for a period of one week."
or if you want to make it simple on the commissioner so he doesn't have to change the divisions and the schedule around:
"After each team selects their draft position (1-12), all teams will have the opportunity to trade draft spots for a period of one week, but they can only trade with another team within their division. Draft spot 1 can only trade with draft spot 4, 7, or 10 and draft spot 2 can only trade with draft spots 5, 8, or 11 and so on and so forth."
Just pick however you want to do it and your formal proposal is done. Not bad for a guy that doesn't know how to use commas.
Yeah he’s taken a few shots at me lately it’s all good.Hey @SteelersPride , well that's that. dangit, why are you so simple minded?
Which is basically what I w was saying in a way.I don’t think trading draft spots within a week of the order draft accomplishes much. Here is what I suggest for wording of the proposal:
“Individual draft picks may not be traded.
Draft positions may be switched up until 48 hours before the draft. However, division placement is based on original draft slots. Divisions will not be affected by draft position changes.”
With Treff's wise words in mind, for what it's worth, lately this hasn't been fun.I would hope that everyone would have the dignity, and the respect for the rest of us and the league, that the minute it becomes no longer fun, that they'd all walk away, regardless of reason.
100% correct. Has not been fun.With Treff's wise words in mind, for what it's worth, lately this hasn't been fun.
I hope we're not on the cusp of seeing the MBBRL implode?
Well those words were definitely meant to be, a general sense of fun and enjoyment in the entire league. Surely not the smaller spats and squabbles that happen everywhere to everyone all the time.With Treff's wise words in mind, for what it's worth, lately this hasn't been fun.

We've often said we're a community, almost similar to a family. Communities disagree, families fight..they still have a great time together as long as common ground can be found.
Hi, all! Chef dragged me from the politics forum to a thread about constitutional amendments. Hm.
That is enough of that crap. .... I think maybe you should go look in the mirror.You are one of those guys who are good at their jobs, but a complete fucking asshole, aren't you?
Good luck with your money making fantasy empire, douche bag.
Just interjecting here, its ok for the other shots fired?That is enough of that crap. .... I think maybe you should go look in the mirror.
No it’s not, but the point stands. Still shots fired, and they were “A ok” by everyone.And there have been others. I’m not gonna get into it, because usually it’s ignored. As I’ve stated before, certain people can say certain things, and argue certain points. Others cannot. It is what it is.Just where did the other shots fired refer to him as a 'fucking asshole' and 'douche bag' - 'simple-minded' ain't even close.
I see after asking me a question, my other post was glossed over.For what it’s worth, I am no opposed to trading draft slots. However I love the way we do it now.
