    I can explain very simply what we are looking for:

    1. Weekly locks.
    2. Waivers process on Monday (we use Free Agent Budget but irrelevant detail). Meaning you put your bids in Sunday night.
    3. AND: players that you added on that Sunday night will be available on Monday for the weekly lock.

    I don't see why a league would want it any other way. Right now, the system considers those players as NOT available until the FOLLOWING week. This is either implemented wrong (at worst) or extremely limiting (at best).

    The only current workaround is to set the waiver day to Sunday, meaning you have to put your bids in Saturday night. On a practical level this is just a bad user experience--this means I have to put my bid in while there's still up to 2 games remaining for a player (especially EST and EU) and a lot can happen in 48 hours with injuries. On a personal level not everyone has the bandwidth to make this kind of analysis on a Saturday night and put bids in.

    This may be very closely related to this suggestion here and could potentially fix this problem -> https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/206157-fantasy-basketball/suggestions/45261871-waivers-allow-waiver-times-to-be-customizable#comments

    I'll take it one step further (although I don't think the above fix should be delayed for this additional layer): It'd be great to have a setting that allows NBA Fantasy to work similar to some football leagues with its waiver rules and free agency. In my above example, the waiver processing should happen on Monday morning, and then all players should become available for an immediate add from Monday morning until Monday tipoff. Then it switches back to waivers.
