Just to be clear, I am not suggesting changes to the waiver wire because of any consequence I've suffered.
I am suggesting it based on the fact that it seems that many times i hear/read stuff on dynasty leagues, they talk about a 'bidding on players' process throughout the whole year (or at least it seems that way). This is one way that it operates:
"In an auction bidding environment, players who are not selected in the league draft, players who are dropped and players added to the player pool during the season become FAAB-eligible for the timeframe set by the league creator. However, instead of placing a traditional waiver claim, an owner places a bid they feel is appropriate based on a player's value. The league creator assigns the pre-determined budget of each team for FAAB bidding over the course of the season. During the bidding period, team owners may bid at any time before the deadline. In a FAAB bidding environment, the only way players can be picked up is through the FAAB bidding process, and there are no first-come, first-served pick-ups. The bidding process is an open process and there is no sequence for the bids. Team owners may bid at any time during the waiver period, before it expires.
There is no waiver order in FAAB leagues. Claims are processed according to highest bid. There's a tie break order, but that's only reset when two teams bid the same amount on a player. During the bidding period, no team can see any other team's bids or bid amounts. All teams can view FAAB bidding results after bids are processed, either on the league home page or in waiver reports. Additionally, all teams can view other teams' budget balances on each team clubhouse and waiver order pages."
I'm not sure if that says what I am trying to say a little clearer.
The goal in my thought isn't to mirror real life NBA management, as much as it is about trying to change the 'first come, first serve' way of waiver wire.
