Re: Yahoo Fantasy NBA Keeper Leagues? PM interest in playing!
Salary cap can't be done. To do that, we'd have to somehow give every player a value, or find their actual contract value or something, which I think is simply putting too much into it.
And Steve, keepers shall be re-drafted to your team in the same round you originally drafted them in, and not shuffled forward. Yes it makes trading picks more difficult, but who is going to keep say...Louis Williams, a guys expected to be picked in the last round or 2nd last, even though he has potential, if they then have to re-draft him in the first 5 rounds or higher? If you keep your 3rd round draft choice from the previous year, you don't have the 3rd round pick to trade.
And contracts, yeah it could suck to have to let go of your stars, but then you have a chance to re-draft them, or you could trade them for a similar player and bam, you have nearly the same guy or same calibre player with a fresh 3 year contract. It simply keeps interest in the league and shuffles players.
I think a Keeper league should have a salary cap but because we don't have 30 teams, we should have our own salary cap system in place,
well most of us will have at least 4 all star talented players, im not sure what a average salary cap is in the NBA but if its around 60 million, we just double it and add a little to make it no more than 130 million cap but it really up to you guys,
yes someone could pick up all the young guys and not be so competitive now but like 3 years down the track they would be and if someone does drop out, the new person who comes on board will have the chance to keep that team and those players if he wishes but there so much to think about but we can sort it out as the season unflolds.
