The one fallback I can think of is we have turnover every off-season. New owners = Relocation So what happens next year when we get 2 more new owners and they relocate messing up this year's realignment. Push it off again until 2022?

Ragnarok Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 New owners has always meant relocation and we have always been fine with that. And I don't think current owners moving has been enough of an issue to necessitate a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Push it off again until 2022? I’m aware of this. It’s why a realignment (for geographic purposes) is futile in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnarok Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm opposing any relocation restriction. It's not a problem that needs to be fixed. We need to let new owners choose where they want their team to be located. And if you want to move after a few years, go for it. If people start moving every offseason, then yes, we could have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to align geographically every time someone relocates, we're creating a dangerous precedent of "wow, that team is stacked, I'd rather play in Division X so I'll relocate to [insert random city or country]" To me, if we're going to realign division on a geographic basis, we need to allow relocation only: when the geography makes sense OR, when every party involved (teams that move + teams in the respective divisions) agrees unanimously Or, we can just keep things light and fun and just don't care about geography alignment How in the world was this my idea lol. The only thing I said is if we trimmed down playoff teams that we would mighy look at an East/West thing if we needed to go with the 3 highest records. That wasnt even a submitted proposal that was an idea in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcb1213 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Cause I'm a nerd and want PR to get to keep his name. Kinda There's actually a crazy American history story where people were bringing in hippos to eat plants over growing in swamps. Thus hungry hippos.

SirA1 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm going to wait until after the vote on Realignment (Which I thought was going to be a non-issue) before muddying the waters anymore with more controversy. For the record. I don't build my roster just for 3 other teams in the league it should be built to take on all teams. Very rarely does Division Record matter.

I don’t either, but let’s say hypothetically you care more about what Portland does than Gotham. Additionally, we’ve had situations where teams play each other three times, so you’re more likely to add guys whom may directly affect your matchup with said team.

Honestly thought we had a "1 relocation per year/owner change" rule thing somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
