EDIT: League has been created in Yahoo to record player scores - I'll be adjusting for the handicap and posting the results in this thread. Link to join the league is https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/147382/invitation?key=5f24b574f108f5bc&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=0c1c41b3e7b5b136

Rules:
- 13 players per team, no positions.
- Salary cap of $100 million per team
- Salaries are based on those listed at https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/
- The penalty for going over the salary cap is 0.00000056% of your total team score, per dollar. For example, if your salaries total $102,500,000, your penalty will be 0.00000056 x $2,500,000 = 1.4% of your total team score.
- Your team is set on a weekly basis, with your score being the cumulative scores of every player on your team for that week.
- There are no adds or drops during the week. Roster movement will be on a first come, first served basis, and any moves you request will take effect at the beginning of the following week.
- The scoring system will be taken directly from the standard Yahoo settings for Points leagues - field goals made (1), field goals attempted (-0.45), free throws made (1), free throws attempted (-0.75), points (0.5), three pointers made (3), rebounds (1.5), assists (2), steals (3), blocks (3), turnovers (-2).

[Flik]

Wonder who I should draft. Considering we have to take salaries into effect, it'll be interesting to see what lineups we manage to utilize.

[Krankor]

Draft this kid.

[Chosun]

Draft this kid.

My dad with two knee replacements runs more smoothly than that kid.

[Krankor]

By the way, here's a massive complete list of every NBA players salaries. Noticed some weren't in that other list.

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/

[Flik]

https://hoopshype.com/salaries/ another site for salaries as well. This is the one I use.

[Krankor]

What's the timetable on getting ready to draft? NBA starts Oct 16th. 8 teams 13 picks each is going to take some time.

[Chosun]

Our last participant is still waiting on their forum membership - apparently he still hasn’t received the confirmation email, so I’ll have to get in touch with a mod to look into it.

[grapeswasmurdered]

i just approved it and sent him an email, assuming it's Dutchy. Some people it doesn't go through for some reason, I have no idea why.

[Chosun]

i just approved it and sent him an email, assuming it's Dutchy. Some people it doesn't go through for some reason, I have no idea why.

Thanks for that - I'll let him know and we can get started.

I'll run a lottery in a second, ball numbers will be as follows:

Ball #1 - Chosun
Ball #2 - O.G.
Ball #3 - Flik
Ball #4 - Dutchy
Ball #5 - Gert
Ball #6 - Krankor
Ball #7 - Gridlock'd
Ball #8 - Harley Quinn

[Chosun]

Lottery Results:

Pick #   
1    Team 6
2    Team 3
3    Team 7
4    Team 1
5    Team 4
6    Team 5
7    Team 2
8    Team 8

So draft order is:

1. Krankor
2. Flik
3. Gridlock'd
4. Chosun
5. Dutchy
6. Gert
7. O.G.
8. Harley Quinn

[Chosun]

By the way, here's a massive complete list of every NBA players salaries. Noticed some weren't in that other list.

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/rankings/

Having reviewed the file I originally sent, and the two links posted in this thread, I'm happy to use the salaries listed on this site as it's pretty comprehensive.

EDIT - I think we can get this started now - by the time it's Dutchy's turn he'll be online.

DOUBLE EDIT - also want to make it clear that this isn't a keeper or dynasty league. Should this concept prove to be fun, we'll start again next year fresh.

[Krankor]

I'll kick it off by taking Karl Anthony Towns of the Timberwolves.

[Flik]

Damn, he took one of the guys I was looking at.

So 100m, right?

Let's start counting down.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Remaining - 93,565,480

[Gridlockd]

Giannis Antetokounmpo ($24,157,303)

[Chosun]

Devin Booker ($3,314,365)

[Dutchy]

Anthony Davis ($25,434,263)

[Gert]

With the 6th pick I'll take:

Donovan Mitchell/Utah Jazz (3,111,480)

[Harley Quinn]

Man, this already is gonna prove to be real interesting. So excited

[O.G.]

Nikola Jokic ($25,467,250)

[Harley Quinn]

LeBron James $35,654,150
John Collins $2,299,080

[O.G.]

Kemba Walker ($12,000,000)

[Gert]

Jayson Tatum $6,700,800

[Dutchy]

Luka Doncic ($6,560,640)

[Chosun]

Myles Turner ($3,410,284)

[Gridlockd]

Deandre Ayton ($8,165,160)

[Flik]

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800
Balance - 9,934,320

[Krankor]

James Harden
Taurean Prince

[Flik]

Dammit, you took my players. Like those literally were the two I was looking at. You ass.

Alright, this could backfire on me, because he had his knee drained for the fourth time. However, this is the third round, so I can sort of afford a risk here.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800
Russell Westbrook - 35,654,150
Balance - 45,588,470

And just like that, I have almost used up half my allotted money. Damn.

[Flik]

Okay, I'm making a new post because this isn't concerning my pick at all.

Considering how few teams there are, I'm guessing you are expecting a few of us to go over budget, right? I simply ask because there's a lot of high end contracts that will likely end up on the table.

[Krankor]

I would assume most would but who knows what each will do. I have a general strategy of my target budget. I'm also tracking other teams to see where mine is matching up. I've never done a cap league so I'm pretty stoked.

Here were the penalties from the first post:
- The penalty for going over the salary cap is 0.00000056% of your total team score, per dollar. For example, if your salaries total $102,500,000, your penalty will be 0.00000056 x $2,500,000 = 1.4% of your total team score

[Flik]

Well, I got that, but I just mean, it will be interesting to see who's left on the table. After all, I don't really feel like going over my budget.

I was going to add something else, but on second thought...

Also fuck you for taking Taurean. I wanted him.

[Gridlockd]

Lonzo Ball ($7,461,960)

[Chosun]

D’Angelo Russell ($7,019,698)

[Dutchy]

Dario Saric ($2,526,840)

[Chosun]

Given we’ve only got two weeks until the season starts, after this round (Harley’s pick), we’ll go to 8 hour time limits.

Also, the teams will be kept on a spreadsheet for now - I considered putting the league on yahoo however the results won’t be real due to the handicap.

[Krankor]

Are you going to have to enter all the stats in by hand for every game? If so that sounds like a nightmare for you.

[Gert]

I'll take Klay Thompson (18,988,725)

[O.G.]

Kyle Kuzma ($1,689,840)

[Harley Quinn]

Given we’ve only got two weeks until the season starts, after this round (Harley’s pick), we’ll go to 8 hour time limits.

Also, the teams will be kept on a spreadsheet for now - I considered putting the league on yahoo however the results won’t be real due to the handicap.

I don't know if you "need" Bench spots for any Yahoo set up leagues and instead you could make every position a 'Starter' but that's just a theory. You could also roll with a general like 1 G, 1 F, 1 C, and 10 UTIL roster construction.

Example League Set Up: https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/139427

Anyway my picks
Eric Gordon ($13,500,375)
Trae Young ($5,356,440)

[O.G.]

Wendell Carter Jr. ($4,441,200)

[Krankor]

I believe Gert's been on the clock for a while now judging by Harley's picks timestamp. He's got like 3 1/2 more hours until he's over as well.

[Krankor]

Welp Dutchy is on the clock.

This is going well.

[Flik]

  Just peachy! We'll make it, don't worry.

[Chosun]

I've told Dutchy he's on the clock - he should be making his pick soon. As the Australians happen to have three picks in a row either way we should be able to knock those out quickly - its only if it's our turn overnight (Aus time) that there would be a delay.

I'm confident we'll finish as long as everyone makes a considered effort to check the site a couple of times every day, and messages the next person using the links in the first post.

[Dutchy]

Dennis Smith Jnr ($3,819,960)

[Chosun]

Dejounte Murray ($1,544,951)

[Gridlockd]

Malcolm Brogdon ($1,544,951)

[Gert]

Sorry guys, been at work all day. I'll take Kawhi Leonard ($23,114,066)

[Flik]

You know what? Fuck it. Time to reunite old teammates who hate each other!
