Thinking about it, my local league specifically had a statement that lateral moves were allowed. The rulebooks and scoring were similar in many ways thus I mat be confusing the two, however, IMO as long as moves are made within the 24 hour grace period to get under the cap and roster size limits a player can be acquired and immediately placed on IR, TS, AR etc. It's like Burt acquiring Lockett and immediately demoting him to TS. Without that immediate demotion Burt would have been over the contract years cap. The move was made within 24 hours thus allowed.

I also think the IR rules states 4 weeks minimum. Nothing was ever solidified to clarify that, thus I've always operated under the impression that any player needs to serve his 4 weeks on IR. If that's not the case I'll happily make the space and start him this week. I bumped him figuring I wouldn't be allowed to use him until he served his minimum 4 weeks on IR.
