[Billy the Kidd]

Welcome back to the Memorial Delonte West-Gloria James South Beach Cup for the 12th season!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2020/21 CHAMPIONS - THE DUTCHMEN managed by DutchRudder

As usual this is the deal...

•Dynasty League
•12 team
•Standard 9 Cats
•PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, UTL, UTL + 5 Reserves + 1 Yahoo managed IR slot.
•No extra slot for Euro players (i.e. if you drafted LLull then he takes up a spot on your roster regardless if he plays NBA or not).

•Two round draft involving rookies and free agents every year.
The draft order of the bottom six is set at the end of the regular season.
•The draft order for the top 6 is also set at the end of the regular season except for the 2 Grand Finalists who will have the 11th and 12th picks. If you haven't been active throughout the year though you get last pick in the first round.
•You are allowed to trade draft picks for the draft ahead and the draft following. (i.e. if we are in the 2016-2017 season you can only trade for the 2017 draft and 2018 drafts.

Tanking and Absentia
If for whatever reason a manager does not set his team for an extended pariod of time as assessed by the commissioner a player may have their first round pick for the following year downgraded to the last pick in the first round as punishment. If inactivity is ongoing, a manager may lose his team. This may be due to lack of activity or due to "tanking". Tanking is purposely not setting your team (or your best players) to lose each week.

2022/2023 key dates

Rookie draft will commence asap

League will not go live until after the rookie draft!

First game of the season is the 18th October 2022.

Confirmation thread anyone not confirmed by the end of the month (30th of Sept) is booted.

Billy the Kidd - Confirmed
Moo - Confirmed
Cameron_K - Confirmed
Tony Richo - Confirmed
Gridlock'd - Confirmed
Bugsy Mogues - Confirmed
Helios - Confirmed
Bostonian - Confirmed
Peter H - Confirmed
deeman87 - Confirmed
DutchRudder - Confirmed

the4skins - New manager required - We will be looking for a new manager to take over the4skins. I don't even know who was managing them last season, possibly someone to to do with Moo but I am making a Commissioner decision that they are sacked and the team will be finding new ownership.

My reasons are either they are a terrible manager or they didn't manage their team. Either way they are gone!!!

 

[Billy the Kidd]

Once everyone has confirmed if anyone doesn't have an issue I do not see a problem if managers want to begin trading players and picks prior to the rookie draft.

All trades to be posted on here obviously.

Any lopsided trades will be vetoed.

 

[Billy the Kidd]

I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT AS THERE WERE SOME TRADES MADE. Just getting the league set up at the moment.

[Billy the Kidd]

Not sure. Can't be fuc$%d checking or living in the past, so if you want back in there is a vacant team with the 1st pick in the draft?

 

[Nice Guy Adam]

I’ll take it, cheers

Welcome back! Haha

DM me your email address and I'll send you a league invite.

 

[deeman87]

But his 1st pick is stripped and awarded to me right...But no in all seriousness who left?

 

[Bostonian]

I'm in. So is Helios.

 

[Billy the Kidd]

But his 1st pick is stripped and awarded to me right...But no in all seriousness who left?

Whoever was managing the4skins or should i say wasn't managing.

Moo's mate Nate was the manager i think.

 

[Peter H]

yep back

 

[Moo]

I’m back.

Nate has dropped off planet

 

[Nice Guy Adam]

Welcome back! Haha

DM me your email address and I'll send you a league invite.

All sent and ready to join (and given someone sent me last years’ team, ready to trade). I guess with only two rounds the draft starts pretty late compared to others?

 

[DutchRudder]

Who are we still waiting on? Just Bugsy Mogues & Cameron_K?

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Who are we still waiting on? Just Bugsy Mogues & Cameron_K?

I never left

 

[Cameron_K]

Yeah may as well go again.

 

[Billy the Kidd]

Good work lads. Looks like we have 11 managers back and Nice Guy Adam returning to the league to take over the4skins team, inheriting the 1st pick in the draft.

Will begin the draft asap but firstly need to suss out if any trades of draft picks were made last season?

I must admit my activity has been down in the past season or two so I am not completely across it. Have plans to be much more active this season.

SOOOOOO were there any trades of draft picks??

 

[Nice Guy Adam]

Very keen on obtaining more draft picks for current players. Make me an offer!

 

[Billy the Kidd]

Also prior to the draft beginning, I need everyone to select 15 keepers please.

Or alternatively if you know you'll be taking one or two players in the draft, 13 or 14 keepers.

If you have a player who'll be eligible for the LTIR reply, I've selected keepers with Michael Jordan to go on my LTIR.

Hopefully doing it this way I will not have to completely re-enter everyones team this season.
