Bumping this because I'm not sure if it's posted on page 1 or not, and I kinda forgot what the rules were, so I thought if someone else was in the same boat as me, it's easier to find.

So, rather than have a google spreadsheet with additional players, I'm going to do the following:
1) Add two new bench spots to make room for rookies that wouldn't normally make rosters otherwise. That brings our teams up to a total of 11 players.
2) All rookies drafted are automatically safe for the coming season. One of your rookies from any given season may be "tagged" after the season to be safe next season as well (giving you one additional keeper). But, if you drop that rookie at any point, or trade him and then trade back for him, he loses this "tagged" option. You will be able to "Tag" one sophmore player each summer, thus providing the opportunity for 6 keepers a year, if you decide to go that route.
Note: The rookie "Tag" will not apply to rookies drafted last year, as none of us knew about it, and it would provide an unfair advantage to teams that drafted rookies.
Note: Draft picks may be forfeited at any time.
So, that gives teams two bench spots in which to stash young players that you want to keep for the future.
It also gives you an extra year to evaluate one of your rookies before you have to either drop them or use one of your keeper slots on them. It tracks more like an actual NBA team that way.
Thanks for your patience guys. Hopefully this helps address some of your concerns, and though I know it won't satisfy everyone, I did try to find middle ground and take everyone's opinion into account.
So basically, whoever took Noel got great value, because he can be an extra keeper under that "tag" rule. I Wish I would have remembered that and not nominated him 1st overall.
