2020-2021 Dynasty League

Who has jimmy butler. I know I had him starting of last year and know I was looking to trade him just seeing if I actually did? He isn’t on my team anymore.

Believe it was with Tastic for John Collins and Jarrett Allen

I just went through all the transactions from last year, and added the ones missing to the spreadsheet.

The trade you mentioned was:
TASTIC received: W. Cauley-Stein, Butler, Capela
dmastro32 received: RJ Barrett, J. Allen, John Collins

With that said, we´ve had some picks traded for this upcoming draft. They are:

1) bwgood got Kerrsed´s 2nd round pick for his 4th round pick

2) Desertfox got Sunskerr´s 2nd round pick for his 4th round pick.

The google docs has the "draft" sheet ready with all these trades marked

Should we add extra IR slots or maybe some dedicated to Covid this season? Seeing what's going on in the NFL (and country) right now leads me to believe we might need it.

I’d agree with this

We have 3 IR slots already. Don't draft players that have risky behaviors !!

BTW ... I have heard from a well-connected epidemiologist whose primary research is in viruses like COVID. He fully believes the vaccines will bring us back to normal by this summer. Pro leagues will pay a handsome fee to get those vaccines early I would imagine.

While that's good to hear, I still think it would be prudent to expand it, probably by 1.

I'll trade an extra IR slor for more votes towards a cap league.

Jokes aside, I think it's not a bad idea. Since thi is a keepers league, those stashes based on end of season possibility are not a factor in the long term, so no harm done in an extra IR spot

[sunskerr]

Can we still trade players that aren’t keepers before the deadline?

[Desertfox]

How about introducing a cap/bid system for non-keepers as a trial and if it works maybe do a gradual transition with a sliding keeper system, dropping the number of keepers by one every year.

This is fine but I would like to suggest a modification. Managers should not be able to add injured players from the player pool to their teams. These spots should be reserved specifically for existing players on their teams that become injured or ill. You should not be able to pick up an injured player on the available player list and move them into these spots.

I'd be fine with this.

I agree with this. I already know you cannot add a player direct to IR, but you could drop someone, pick up an IR player, put him on IR, then pick up another player. That shouldn't be allowed.

It might be difficult to monitor all that though.

[sunskerr]

Aight guess it can't wait any longer. I'll be keeping

Trae Young
Kyrie Irving
DeAaron Fox
Brandon Ingram
Jaylen Brown
Mitchell Robinson
Davis Bertans

for a total of 7.

Please remember to set your keepers TODAY on Yahoo. I´ll finalize teams and set up the draft afterwards.

I´ll make sure to check the keepers on Yahoo with the ones posted here to avoid mistakes, but it´s extra important that you be careful with that as it might cost you a 1st round pick if you mistakenly picked 8 instead of 7 keepers.

I’ve set my keepers on Yahoo ... Curry, Zion, Covington, Herro, MPJ, Huerter, Bogdanovic

You guys talking about the extra COVID IR spot or any of our 3 existing IR spots?

Because last season someone dropped John Wall and I definitely scooped him up to stash him...I don’t see how that should be illegal. If I wanted to pick him up I had to keep him on my active roster?

[WeekapaugGroove]

I'm probably missing something simple but I don't see an option to assign keepers on yahoo.

Keeping:
Anthony Davis
Joel Embiid
Kemba Walker
CJ McCollum
Malcolm Brogdon
Thomas Bryant
PJ Washington
Jonathan Isaac

Burning my 1st rounder to stash Isaac might prove to be idiotic but I just don't love this class of rookies so figure I'll keep the guy who if healthy will be an elite roto guy next season.

Yes, that is what I am talking about. A perfect example of the misuse of the IR spot. You dropped a player to add Wall, put him in an IR spot, and then added a player. Completely legal but really not what I would hope to see in the dynasty league.

Really, we should attempt to make this league more like the real NBA which is why a cap system was proposed. Honestly, having a salary system to bid on free agents in the player pool would be way better than the waiver wire. It will stop weird stuff like your John Wall pickup.

Nope, the set keeper menu item is missing. It was there last night so it has disappeared.

That´s legal. 4th IR spot will be exclusively for players drafted/hired WITHOUT being injured and then missing time due to covid. God help us all to monitor this

[WeekapaugGroove]

Did we really have 3 IR slots already? I could have sworn it was 2.

Yahoo might have a special covid IR designation like it currently does for football.
