Keep it to four players max, even 3 i reckon is better, if you keep too many people it then makes it harder if someone else to raise up if they had a few struggling years, cheers

Also, just to clarify when a player is traded the 3 year contract resets (from the beginning of the current season) doesn't it?

If a player is traded, the contract resets, yes But you get 3 FULL seasons with the player. So if you did a Detroit/Denver and traded AI for Billups after 2 games, each team gets the new players for the remainder of that season and then the new contract starts. So effectively 3 years and 79 games. This might sound stupid, and could be exploited I guess, but I can't make people give up players mid-season and who really is going to trade players like that usually?

No that sounds fair, just wanted to be sure, thanks,

You can still be happy about individual players

Just had a thought, i just grabbed Dunleavy from the FA/wavers. If i decided to make him one of my keepers what spot would be allocated from him in the draft. I dropped another player from the FA pool to get Dunleavy, so would it go all the way back to the play the original player i drafted and then dropped to get the original FA? Or would it just be the final round?

Yep it goes back to the original player you drafted I am keeping a spreadsheet of all of this and simply write down who got dropped for who, and editing the original draft board. He's slotted in as your 14th round pick if you choose to keep him.

If anyone else has these queries on where a keeper would be allocated (and they weren't your original drafted player), feel free to ask But easy to work out, they simply replaced the player you dropped draft spot, even if it's a chain reaction down through a bunch of different players.
