RealGM

Gentlemen,

I would like to form a new keeper league made of active RealGM fantasy basketball participants.

The league will kick off sometime in August/September with the first keeper draft.

I'm thinking right now of a league of approximately 12 players, but I'm open to more if more are interested.

It will be standard rules, except the rosters will be a little smaller. I want this league to revolve more around top tier talent, and have it be less concerned with bench and role players. We have plenty of "deep" style leagues on the forum already, so let's try something different.

Here are my thoughts on league rules:

Lineups: PG, SG, G, PF, SF, F, C, Bench, Bench

Stats: FG%, FT%, 3s, Pts, Rebs, Assts, Stls, Blks, TOs

Waiver Wire: Auction style. In other words, since potentially really good players could be available on the wire, we'll need a better way to police this than just first to the wire. So, each player will have a set amount of cash to spend on waiver wire pick-ups. Once you're out, you're out.

Each year, each manager will be able to keep 5 players (basically, a starting five). And the rest of the players will go back into the draft pool. There will be two drafts annually:

1) Lottery based draft for rookies
2) Auction-style draft for all remaining players

I am, of course, open to suggestions.

Sign up below if you're interested.


Intriguing idea, isn't it?

Hi sir

with only 12 gm and 9 players = 108 picks total so i think its 2 short

I would prefer
a) dinasty since we dont have alot of dinasty leagues
b) having a bigger roaster something like
Pg
sg
g
g
sf
pf
f
f
c
c
b
b
b

15 players team x 12 gm = 180 players

c) I dont like the idea of action after 1st season
I would prefer to have 3 round picks with 1 1st 1 2nd 1 3rd pick
we could droop players and we would add 1 bench spot for the 1st 3 season


i m open to enter if you have a spot for me

I prefer a keeper league (ie only 5 players being retained by each manager), getting stuck with the same roster year after year becomes incredibly boring, and it takes away the drafting component, which is the funnest part of it all.

Will this replace the Money League?

Anyway, I'm game.

I'm in

Count me in, sounds fun.

I would relish the chance to be in a league with these old buffoons again

I'd love to get in on the ground floor of a keeper league.

I was just thinking how I'd like to get in on one of these with the fantasy competitors around this forum.

Count me in.

I'm cool to roll with 10 players if that's who is interested. I think we're up to 9 now so, anyone have a friend?

I do. I just sent him the link to the thread...

I'll throw my hat into this if there is a spot open. Also I'd say we can gather up more gm's (my guess is 16) if we wait until August. Everyone is on vacation right now and once we have the usual FFL group back in drafting, I'd think there would be more of them willing to get into this.

I'll be in too.

My_Lo is the friend of mine who said he wanted to be in the league.

He's a big Jazz fan, but I've forgiven him for that. He's also a blogger on SLC Dunk

I'm down for this, count me in.

I am interested. I like the look of a short roster and active league, and would maybe prefer not keeping a whole roster so there is a bit of a draft/pick trading in the offseason.

Ok, here is our current lineup:

Fran
WB
Woody
Insfo
Jfrost
CFan
TK
Breakdown
Curtis
MyLo
MoGrady
OldNo7

That's 13. Need one more to have a round number.

Planning to start the keeper draft at the end of the month.

Draft order to be determined randomly.

Which site are you planning to use?

Ok guys, it's time to get this league started.

If you've posted interest already, please re-claim your spot, and as soon as we're all present and accounted for, we'll run our lottery. I'd like to start the draft Tuesday of next week.

Please pick a number between 1 and 12.

Thanks.
