2024 RealGM 76ers Forum Dynasty BBall League Yr 5

Hi Managers,

Welcome back to our thirteenth season (year 5 of Dynasty) of the RealGM 76ers Forum Fantasy Basketball League!

Announcement: We have two new managers taking over the former Cru Thik and Go Back to Sea World squads. A forum regular, eyeatoma, who's played in our league years ago, is back in place of Cru Thik, so please welcome him (back) to our dynasty league! Next, we have a newcomer, The Phightin' Phoenicians taking the spot of GBTSW, so please welcome him as well!

Just to recap our last season, it was myself bringing home the 2022-2023 Championship, my first title (sadly enough after all these years).

The number one overall pick was awarded to the 2022-2023 Consolation Bracket Champion which was our very own The Real Morey. So congratulations to TRM for winning the Wemby Sweepstakes!

The rest of the draft order will simply be by final standing when the 2022-2023 Playoffs ended while Rounds 2 and 3 will also simply be the same exact order with The Real Morey back in his "regular finish" spot.

Note: draft order is affected by any Playoff team who beat a higher seeded team.

I will be setting up a spreadsheet with 2023 Draft Order along with updates to any picks that were traded during last season. Feel free to ask any questions.

The start of the 2023-2024 NBA Season will be Tuesday, October 24, which is almost 2 months away. So here is what I need from all managers:

First and foremost, LET ME KNOW you are still planning on managing your team. You can PM me on here OR reply to this thread OR email me (chrismac349 AT gmail.com), whichever you prefer. Just let me know you still want to play A.S.A.P. (because if anyone does not want to continue we will need to find a new manager to replace in a timely fashion).

NEXT >
Please inform me which players you plan to keep. I will be e-mailing you all/posting a spreadsheet here (as soon as I can) of the current rosters (how they exactly were when last season finished). Your job is to select ONLY 12, no more, no less, of the players you plan to keep.

Your roster might currently have 15, 16, or 17 (due to IR spots being used when last season ended). Regardless of how many players are on your team on the spreadsheet, you get to keep 12. Your keepers will be due to me a couple days before our scheduled Rookie Draft (date & time to be announced, likely within the first two weeks of October).

GOOGLE DOCS SPREADSHEET W/ROSTERS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C0aXskZyqHdP80AAS3Y6N7LEwso908SyNwBmSmHC5Nc/edit?usp=sharing

If you are experiencing trouble with opening the rosters spreadsheet, follow this link to an image of it (right click, Open Image in New Tab to enlarge): (Coming soon)

All players not kept go into the FA pool where they can be selected, along with the 2023 Rookies, in our three round draft.

As For Trading: As stated in March, the trade market is still currently open and will be until the trade deadline in February. All trades require confirmation of agreement from all parties to myself.

You may make deals with other managers starting at this time before the draft. However, keep in mind while trading, you still must make your cuts before the draft where your roster will only have 12 players before drafting (aka don't get stuck with more than 12 guys you are very eager to keep). All pre-draft trades must be sent to me with both managers' approval where they will become final.

Also to keep in mind, while trading draft picks, both teams involved must be receiving the same amount of draft picks they are trading away, as we've established when we switched this league to the Dynasty format years ago. If this is unclear, PM me.

Also regarding draft picks, prior to the 2023 draft, teams may only trade this draft's picks (2023 only, no trading 2024 picks until after this upcoming season begins).

Feel free to use this thread for any questions, discussion, etc. I will try to keep everyone updated as often as possible since we have less than 2 months to get everything ready before tip-off.

Thanks,
Chris

The Real Morey is returning for another season, good thing I dont have James Harden on my roster

Glad to have SixersBro and the other OGs back for another season of fantasy basketball! Excited to have long time member of Sixers board, Eyeatoma back for this season.

I hope more people would join and be active this year, specially when it looks like we’re gonna have a very boring season for the Sixers

[eyeatoma]

Very excited to be back guys, loving the look and feel of a dynasty league. I'm also open to trades so hit me up.

Hi everyone,

Roster cuts are slowly beginning to trickle in from managers, but just a reminder that you have until Saturday, October 21 at 11:59 PM (EST) to submit your 12 players you wish to keep.

Our 3 round rookie draft will be held the following night, Sunday, October 22 at 6:30 PM (EST).

You can DM me or email me (chrismac349 at gmail dot com) the 12 guys you wish to keep before the draft.

For any teams that do not submit their cuts in time, the top 12 for that roster will be kept based on Yahoo rankings.

Here is the spreadsheet with the current rosters for reference while making your decisions:

How to arrange predraft rankings?

[eyeatoma]

!

Hey man will this draft be for only rookies or everyone in the league that's not on a roster?

[GoSixersBro]

How to arrange predraft rankings?

I just PM'd you but figure I'd share here as well for everyone:

On the top of the league's main page, go to the Draft tab on the top and you will see Pre-Draft Rankings on the drop down.

From there, click the blue button "Edit my Pre-Draft Rankings".

Unfortunately this will display all the kept players as well, but it doesn't seem to be avoidable. Next year I think we will move our league to the Sleeper app to avoid annoyances such as this.

Everyone not rostered. Dropped players will be available.

See you all at the draft at 6:30 PM tomorrow!

Draft in 6 days lol?

[GoSixersBro]

Order is fixed. Jump back in when it shows available in a minute.

Thanks to all who made it out to our draft. Lotta diamonds in the rough when it comes to rookies this year so it should be exciting.

Also to note, we will almost definitely be moving to the Sleeper fantasy website next year which should avoid any issues with drafting like we ran into tonight, although it was only minor.

Good luck to all managers this season.

Please also feel free to discuss or suggest any changes you'd like seen to our league to keep it improving. I am hoping we are more competitive this season with our two new managers and hope everyone stays active.

Thanks.

Is it possible for us to implement IL+ in Yahoo this season? Is this something we can take a vote on. Since Covid, lots of load management, and a lot of players who get O tags instead of Inj, but we can't put them on the injury list. I know a lot of leagues that only use IL+. On ESPN/Fantrax, you can put players that are out or injured, Yahoo has provided us with that option.

Is this something we can take a look at for this year? Again would love to get a vote on this if possible. As a former commish, I know this can be changed in league settings now, if the league agrees to it, doesn't need to wait till next year.

I will post a vote on it for next season. Have to see what Sleeper offers in relation though since we will be moving there. Thanks.
