Just had my draft, 12 team league, no keepers. How we think I did? (I am from Boston which explains Perk)

PG - Jason Terry (PG, SG)
SG - Josh Howard (SG, SF)
G - Rajon Rondo (PG, SG)
SF - Shawn Marion (SF, PF)
PF - Chris Bosh (PF, C)
F - LaMarcus Aldridge (PF, C)
C - Kendrick Perkins (C)
UTIL - Stephon Marbury (PG)
UTIL - Rudy Gay (SG, SF)
B - Ryan Gomes (SF, PF)
B - Grant Hill (SG, SF)
B - Matt Carroll (SG, SF)

I don't think Perkins or Carroll are rosterable in a league with that few players drafted, but it could just be me.

Carroll was my last pick, Perk is a homer pick.

Out of nowhere: should a H2H league do weekly or daily lineups? The basic goal is to reward attentive and smart owners while preventing people from winning counting categories purely through churning tons of games.

I'm thinking weekly lineups with a short bench and no waivers, or daily with a deep bench and long waivers. Which would be better?

weekly, daily lineup change is ridic. do like 7 day waivers too.

Weekly lineup changes are a must unless you have daily H2H games (be the first league I've heard of that does that).

Daily waivers can work if your league is set up right - we do that in the NBN / NBN2. Of course, those leagues are so deep that the waiver wire is largely meaningless. Dikembe Mutombo anyone?

weekly lineups by far. it's sad that H2H daily seems to be the standard everywhere, because it adds a lot of variance in that one injury to a star player and you're pretty [censored].

playing 12v13(or worse) is no fun(or skill).

also it prevents churning, which is ridiculous as well

I had no idea so many people supported Weekly Updating. I accidentally joined one for Hockey and i hate it. It's probably more me being used to every league i join being Daily though.

Daily transactions for sports that don't play daily (baseball is the only one that comes close) are silly. They reward the owners who devote the time to making transactions every day. That's fine if that's your goal...but I prefer leagues with more mature owners who generally can't devote that level of time to a fantasy league.

The only way I could see daily transactions making any sense would be if there was a transactional fee. Charge $1 per transaction in a $100 entry fee league and you'd (properly) put the brakes on "my player's got an off day today, this scrub's playing today, time for a 1-day sub!"
