NBA Offseason Thread - Update: Rasheed Wallace to Boston

[teletubies58]

his feet and lower limbs cant keep up with the toil he puts his body through. i think this is a big reason why he plays so daintily all the time.
i foresee him retiring prematurely, unfortunately.

Rule change! Going from 1 step to 2 steps before travelling

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4563546

Although not really - I actually thought the explicit rule was 2 steps as well....

Will it become 3 or 4 steps for the superstars?

Horrible rule change, it just conforming to Lebron crab dribble so that Sterns NBA baby gets to do what he wants even more. I guess lifting the pivot foot will be allowed now, this really is stupid.

Didn't know SF had a NBA thread.

Also, cosign on the rule change. They're trying so hard to dumb down the NBA and they'll need another redeem team come 2016 cause they can't play the game properly with international rules (real rules).

I was under the same impression. You got 1 step after the dribble and the second brought on the traveling call. Is it now two steps and the third nets the foul?

The rule change isn't a big deal people have been 2 steps unofficially for ever, we also play two step when I play at the park and such. It doesn't give you much of an advantage.

It actually gives you a big advantage. You can take a *** step one way and quickly move your pivot into your first step exploding to the other before you take a dribble.
It wasn't a big deal 3 years ago but they started calling a lot of the off the dribble drive the past 2 seasons.

More info about the league in case some can't find it: ID# is 312822 and again the Password is "styleforum".

Instead of turnovers, i always like using Asst/TO ratio. Doesn't punish people for having guys who handle the ball a lot but people that are bad at handling the ball. Only two bench spots? If you're only using two bench spots i highly suggest opening up 1-2 IR spots (if they still do IR spots). Personally, i like having like 4 bench spots and and two IR because i like being in real deep leagues but it's your call How many teams is that? Normally i run a league with my friends but this year couldn't get enough people willing to do it

 

[RFX45]

It's a 12 team max league.

Yeah, everything can be editted still, like change the number of bench spots, I was going to originally put 3 but I really do not know how many participants we'll have.

I like the turnover though but again, if the vote says they prefer turnover to assist ratio, that can be changed too.
