• Agreed. I would easily take Beal at $40 and cut Luka or Murray was my point.
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Oct 20, 2021 11:07 AM
• Alright, we had people on both sides, probably weren't going to have a consensus, so I just time traveled back and erased this. Moving forward, let's all be aware of the cap ramifications of FA adds. Powell and Favors back in the FA pool, Beal back on Arsenal
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 20, 2021 11:03 AM
• I don't think anyone screwed up or messed things up. There's no reason this can't play out. Sounds like no one wants Beal anyways. But if he is auctioned then the cap hit comes off Arcenal and they have plenty of cap to go after whoever is cut. This won't trickle a far as people think.

• It's the Arsenal way, not your fault.

• sorry y'all, I wasn't trying to fuck shit up, just done fucked up.
  Purple Cobras at Oct 20, 2021 10:55 AM
• I think due to everyones cap situation currently, it makes the most sense to just give a mulligan on this one. Because nobody really has the cash to go after him, and if they do, it's going to cause cuts that again, nobody really has the money to go after.
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 20, 2021 10:54 AM
• I agree with PRC, I think it makes more sense to give him back to his original owner rather than have someone else get him at a massive discount - but open to whatever the league decides

• as it is right no one can pay $37, what happens if no one can bid on Beal??
  Reignmen at Oct 20, 2021 10:51 AM
• Anyone can bid on him, they would just have to make their roster compliant if they won by cutting people to get under the cap.
  Walker, Kessler Ranger at Oct 20, 2021 10:51 AM
• So now people start cutting players to try and get within the cap (because who doesn’t want Beal) and now we just have a flux of free agents not even 3 days into the season.
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Oct 20, 2021 10:51 AM
• Anyone can bid on him, you 're just going to have to cut away cap if you win the auction.

  Reignmen at Oct 20, 2021 10:49 AM
• I mean a top 15 player getting cut 2 days after a draft and going on a team for less than half of his value seems ridiculous to me.

• ahh double post on a refresh, my bad.
  Walker, Kessler Ranger at Oct 20, 2021 10:43 AM
• If no one claimed him in 24 hours at his full price, then someone could start an auction at the $37 mark, and he would go to the high bidder. I think it'd be interesting to see the results of the claim/auction, but I don't care either way.
  Walker, Kessler Ranger at Oct 20, 2021 10:43 AM
• In the forum I've seen other leagues talk about bench players scores counting so I think he's aware. On the other topic, good luck to whoever wins the Beal claim/auction! Lol.
  Cuz I'm Gonna Dunk It! at Oct 20, 2021 10:40 AM
• Alright guys few things here. Yes if somebody claims Beal he goes at his full salary. If he clears waivers he's open to auction, but I believe his starting bid will be half his full salary, so $36, then it's an open bid on him. Obviously Arsenal got in a little salary cap jail and had to make a move to get his team valid, we've all been there. I'll open it to the league whether we want to just erase him picking up Favors/Powell and give him back Beal, or continue as it currently is. Secondly, Shocknawe is correct, for some reason bench points are counting in the total. I'm sure it's an error that's being handled but I've reached out on the community board to see if other leagues are having the issue. If it's just us I'll reach out to Niv.

  Walker, Kessler Ranger at Oct 20, 2021 10:32 AM
• I am fine with a do over. But to answer a previous question. No, if Beal is claimed he will cost his original $72.
  Chetos at Oct 20, 2021 10:30 AM
• If the league wants to allow me to have a do-over on claiming Favors and/or Powell I'll gladly take Beal back.
  Purple Cobras at Oct 20, 2021 10:27 AM
• Do bench players points count? I thought only the starting lineup was awarded points.
  Chetos at Oct 20, 2021 10:26 AM
• Yeah I don’t get it. Now someone can get him for $30?

• Yeah I’m down for 1 division. I feel basketball fits perfect with one division seeding. But if the majority is divisions that’s cool. Just want everyone to have fun.
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Oct 16, 2021 6:36 PM
• For me divisions definitely feel more like football and baseball, where ,as in real life, division winners matter. In basketball its seeding that seems the most important. I’m not super passionate either way, just wanted to see how everyone felt before the 19th.
  East Bay Funk at Oct 16, 2021 6:21 PM
• I don’t particularly care either way, so I’m open to opinions. I see there Niv has made 1 division the default, and I tend to agree with his lines of thinking. From experience in my football league, divisions can be a pain in certain cases.

  Rade Could Ball at Oct 15, 2021 12:18 PM
• this was a decent read and has relevancy to our skipping nominations question https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-league-best-practices/
  Purple Cobras at Oct 15, 2021 12:06 PM
• Yeah I think to wrap this up, the general rule should be to not try and game the system. If you're at your computer and it's your turn just make a nom, throw somebody up. If you miss a nom for whatever reason, no big deal. I'm sure I'm going to miss a few myself. It's gonna be a long draft and everybody has things going on at home during that. If you've got to step away for multiple noms, just drop in the chat and give us a heads up. If it's clear somebody is drafting in bad faith, we'll stop the draft and discuss what we want to do about that.
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 12, 2021 10:56 AM
• Skipping a few noms would still be ok right? I normally don’t anyway. Just trying to clarify that it’s when you skip 8 to 15 that it’s going to be a problem.
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Oct 12, 2021 8:42 AM
• That's why I wanted to bring it up prior to the draft. There's been issues with lag during the draft, kids/family distractions during the draft, need to get another beer, etc that could cause a skip. I see no problem with accidental skips, it's the purposeful bulk skips that could be an issue. Like you said, I think it's good to clear this up before we draft.

  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Oct 12, 2021 8:13 AM
• Pre-Draft I'll lay out the expectations for noms. I think it's safe to say anybody trying to pull this particular strategy will be met with quite a bit of resistance.
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 12, 2021 8:03 AM
• Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it was brought up before the draft. I guess in my opinion it's not a strategy, it's a semi-legal way to skirt the rules that are in place and can throw off the competitive balance. I understand missing a few nominations due to error but intentionally skipping 15 nominations keeps roster flexibility while other teams fill theirs with market value players.
  Cuz I'm Gonna Dunk It! at Oct 12, 2021 7:07 AM
• That’s… certainly A strategy. I don’t have an issue with skipping noms. I don’t think that would really deter that strategy either way. I’m really excited for this inaugural draft
  Shrimp Shack Shooters at Oct 11, 2021 11:13 PM
• Yeah I’m not a fan of requiring noms. If you want to blow $100+ on 3 guys in a dynasty league, that’s a strategy that might work, but might not. I’d hope everybody here is just planning to be cool.
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 11, 2021 10:59 PM
• I don’t have a problem with it. That manager got lucky the guys he wanted were still available. That strategy can back fire too
