I just had another idea. Well, no idea if its a great one or its dumb... but what if we assign the GMless teams to active members who already have a team? They would have to be very careful with their decisions and it wouldnt be allowed to make trades between their teams, but this would help to prevent letting teams play injured player and could speed up the draft heavily... For example it seems the Bucks GM is inactive and it would suck to wait for him to make his pick if he wouldnt come online anyway. My idea would it be to assign active members like Andrei, GreenBear, Willy, Tanner etc. another team. Obviously they would have to give up the team as soon as a new GM joins and wants the team, but I believe it would be way more fun as there would be more trade partner for example.
Also I would do it anonymously. For example if the idea is great the commish will choose active GMs and assign them a team, afterwards the chosen GMs have to register a new account named like "Bot_Bucks" and will be named interims-GM with this "fakeaccount". Obviously they arent allowed to tell if they are managing another team.
Summary
- assing open teams to already active GMs
- Would speed up the draft and prevent 48minutes games by injured LeBrons
- Do it anonymously
