Award Winning Lakers Board NBA Dynasty League

[moonpie]

Dray is going to be sitting out alot of 4th quarters with all these blowouts. Should have had an easy triple double tonight.

[ROballer]

When the **** can I put my player on the IL?

Only when his tag says "injured"? Cause Henson hasn't played for 2 straight games, yet I can't use an IL on him

[tugs]

If Curry didn't sit.

Yeah RO only injured players are eligible. GTD and OUT aren't qualified. Sucks tbh.

[ROballer]

Well,how many **** games he has to miss for him to qualify as injured?Smh

[ak7]

Literally took 2 seconds to google instead of being a Crybaby Sally about it on our thread:

[Kobe>Jordan>God]

And no, Deron Williams for Demarcus Cousins is STILL by far,the worse trade done here

What are you talking about? Is this from a different league?

[ROballer]

My bad, it happened the first time we did this ****, before the Dynasty League

I guess it's technically not a valid remark, but it still happened when we were basically the same guys

[TyCobb]

Don't mind RO, K>J>G, he is wrong alot (see Bjelica).

[ROballer]

**** no, let's talk again at the end of the season


He's not showed much in the mins he's been getting.....Give Dieng 27 mpg and he's a top 80 fantasy guy

What are Bjelica's numbers again?

Only a matter of time before Dieng gets some decent PT with Towns, and cuts into his mins...he's too good to be the straight up backup
C

[TyCobb]

He's a playmaker. His assists and points will go up once he gets a better feel. He's not working from Dieng's minutes.

[EArl]

Since we havent traded any major picks so far, we should talk about how we are going to expand next year Ty. I was thinking that the two expansions would get 1-2 picks for the rooks and then do something similar where we can save some of our players. We need to start talking about this sooner rather than later so people that are planning to tank or something don't complain about the draft next year or however we are going to do it.

[Mirjalovic]

Ty, let me think about your offer

[Mamba Mentality]

I don't see the need to expand. League is fine as is.

[Kobe>Jordan>God]

I'm not in favor of expansion (it will spread the talent level too thin, especially with an IL in place), but if you're going to do it, we should model it after the NBA's expansion draft rules as closely as possible.

SUMMARY OF EXPANSION DRAFT RULES

A. Player Selection
The Charlotte Bobcats Expansion Draft will take place on June 22 (if the NBA Finals extend to seven games, it will be June 23), prior to the 2004 NBA Draft on June 24.
The Bobcats will select a minimum of 14 players who are under contract or restricted free agents for the 2004-05 season.
The Bobcats may select no more than one player from each team.
The Bobcats can only select players that are left unprotected by an NBA team.
Each of the 29 NBA teams may protect a maximum of eight players on its roster who are under contract or are restricted free agents at the conclusion of the 2003-04 season.
Each of the 29 NBA teams will designate the players on its roster who are eligible for selection by the Bobcats.
Each of the 29 NBA teams must designate at least one player on its roster to be eligible for selection by the Bobcats, even if the team does not have eight players under contract or as restricted free agents for the 2004-05 season.
Any player under contract selected by the Bobcats will immediately be placed on the Bobcats roster.
Any eligible restricted free agent selected by the Bobcats shall immediately become an unrestricted free agent.
Unrestricted free agents are not eligible to be protected nor are they eligible to be selected by the Bobcats.
B. Pre-Expansion Draft Trades
Teams will be permitted to enter into pre-Expansion Draft trades involving players or draft picks in which Charlotte agrees to select or not select certain unprotected players in return.
C. Salary Cap
Charlotte will be permitted to select players in the Expansion Draft without regard to the Salary Cap.
Charlotte will have a Salary Cap in its first season equal to 66% of the Salary Cap applicable to the rest of the league and a Salary Cap in its second season equal to 75% of the Salary Cap applicable to the rest of the league.
Charlotte will be permitted to sign any restricted free agent it selects in the Expansion Draft using the same “Bird,” “Early Bird” or “Non-Bird” Exception that the player’s prior team would have had.
Compensation paid to a selected player under a contract protected for lack of skill will be excluded from Charlotte’s Team Salary if the player’s contract is terminated (via the waiver procedure) prior to the start of the 2004-05 season.
A team with a Team Salary above the Salary Cap will receive a Trade Exception to replace a player (other than a restricted free agent) selected from its unprotected list.
D. Post-Expansion Draft Transactions
A team will not be permitted to reacquire a player that it loses in the Expansion Draft prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the Expansion Draft, unless the player is waived and not claimed by any other team.

We could change the league settings next year to cut a bench spot from all rosters, dropping team size from 15 to 14 players, to increase the talent pool. So all of the existing teams will already be dropping one player.

Adding two new teams, then that would be 28 players needed. Each existing team could protect a certain number of players (8? 10?) and can only lose two players in the expansion draft. This spreads the pain around equally and doesn't punish teams that developed stronger benches.

That would be 24 players in the expansion draft and the two new teams could add one more player each from the general pool of free agents (already expanded because every team already had to drop a player) and one player each in the summer lottery draft.

I like this idea. What place would they get in the draft? I was thinking 1 and 2 since they will already be at a disadvantage with crap players.

[Doormatt]

Going up against someone with LeBron oh boy

thats not really that scary in fantasy anymore, its much MUCH scarier facing teams with Curry, Harden and AD, since those 3 can single handedly carry certain categories in any given week.

[moonpie]

Cot dayum Drummond with 25/29

[EArl]

Looks like Fournier was a nice pick up.

[Doormatt]

when u forget to set ur lineups cuz ur hungover <

[Doormatt]

so who wants KAT? I'm punting blocks so he's actually not that valuable to my team, but i still have no problem keeping him so don't think you can buy low in any way. He's almost guaranteed to be a fantasy star very soon.
