I personally dont like seeing this when I input DC's and it ruins the integrity of the GM and the league. I dont think its fair to rebuilding teams also when you have fringe teams having a shot at the playoffs, just giving up and putting their best guys on the IR. You need to have your best starting five on, or atleast most of them on. If I see that a team blatantly putting their best guys on the IR, I'm just gonna CPU its DC. Its fine if your playing your top guys out of position, but putting them on the bench or IR will lead to a CPU DC. I'll look over all DC's before I decide on who is to be CPU'ed. I think this is pretty fair to the rebuilding teams.

Any particular team your talking about?
I know I'm one of those fringe teams that'll probably make the playoffs, but I've at least been trying to get my best players out there

I hope you're not referring to my team. I've been using 7 of the 8 guys consistently for my rotation and have been looking at different players each time at that other position. Jeff Green has done exactly what I've wanted him to do since starting at PG, upped his points and assists and even had his turnovers go down in the last sim. Keeping Ridnour active stole minutes away from Dixon and Green in the one sim I let it happen and maximizing minutes for Dixon and Green is a goal of mine.

Not referring to either of you. I dont really remember what team but I saw a few that were blatantly tanking. The GM's know who they are. As long as your still atleast playing your top 3-4 players, no matter what position, its fine. I just dont like see the entire team starting scrubs.

You'll love my new DC. It's very similar to one that I sent you for the Kings back before they got a GM.

I remember having a DC change like this one that brought my team from 21-37 to 43-39 in the last 30 days.

He posted 3 triple doubles at PG, 2 consecutive ones
Hell, if we count turnovers he probably had at least 20 triple doubles, and a few quad doubles.

The most turnovers committed by a player on my team is 8 and was by Bargnani. We have had some high turnover games though. Our highest was 27. Of course your highest is 35.
The Sixers, Hawks, Pacers, Bucks, Wolves, and Clippers have lower maxes than my own and Bulls, Rockets, and Kings all tied mine. The Spurs I believe that the highest one in a single game.

you're team isn't good enough to tank. just play your young players. if players don't play, their ratings go down in the TC.
