Ready to get the league rolling? Labor peace!

Well Hell then...

Keep Austin Daye (16th round last year) 14th round.
Keep Kris Humphries (FA) for a 12th rounder this season.

There hasn't been a clear answer, but I think that you have to lose the rounds that you keep a player in...makes little sense to do it any other way. So in my case, I don't pick in the 12th and 14th rounds.

I think Daye costs 4 rounds.

"A player drafted in Rounds 9 through 18 can be kept at Round minus 4."

So I think if you still want Daye, he'd be a 12th and then Humphries would be an 11th.

Ahhhh, thanks...still heavily involved in football and trying to clear space in my tiny head for hoops.

I started a keeper thread, for easy reference.

One note of clarification.
If a player is drafted, then dropped and picked up by another owner, does he retain his original draft position?

E.G.
Mr.Basketball is drafted Round 10.
Would he be:
A 6th rd keeper or
a 12th rd keeper?

(I think 6, but given I didn't catch the "minus" it is best to ask)

This is a partial repost of post #5 of this thread:


Keepers - We keep 2 players per year:
No keepers drafted in Rounds 1 through 3.
A player drafted in Rounds 4 through 8 can be kept at Round-2.
A player drafted in Rounds 9 through 18 can be kept at Round-4.
A player not drafted who you picked up as a free agent can be kept at Round 12.


You keep any 2 players. Does not matter where he was drafted from rd 4 on. If you have two players that are going to cost the same rd (say two rd 5 keepers) then one will be moved up 1 rd.

It might be too late to do anything about this now, but it seems "odd" that an 8th rounder can be kept with a 6th round pick when a 9th rounder must be kept with a 5th round pick.

I took Andruw Bynum in round 9 last year instead of round 8 because I assumed that there was an advantage in doing so.

In this situation I have always had it that his draft status NEVER changes. So Mr. Basketball would be a 6th rd keeper.

Much simpler that way.

Reverse order of final standings, I think. SoPaul gets Chris Paul if Paul wants Paul.

Oh, not random? I don't recall this being decided ... or discussed? Did I miss it?
How do ties get dealt with?


And JB was last right? Wouldn't he get first?

I don't remember it being talked about last year. Well never like the present. I will set up a poll for it.

Understood, but we could say that wherever the cutoff ended up, ya know? I think we just have to keep it as is.

[onejayhawk]

Maybe three tiers next year.

That's why I never interpreted

"A player drafted in Rounds 4 through 8 can be kept at Round-2.
A player drafted in Rounds 9 through 18 can be kept at Round-4."

as round minus 2 or round minus 4. It makes no sense to do it that way or have it cost more to keep a free agent pickup (give-up a 12th round pick to keep) than to keep a 17th or 18th round pick.

[Baseballjones]

Split the difference next year. No keepers in the first 3 rounds. Rounds 4 to 18 can be kept at round minus 3. Undrafted players are kept at round 15.
