A few questions from a new team GM - Indy

Dates for the end of RFA, FA and the draft?

In review of fantrax available players I have noted some players who are not listed on our spreadsheet FA list. Are these players available?

Thank you in advance!

Regarding spreadsheet vs Fantrax free agent discrpency, the list on the spreadaheet are all guys who expired this past season but it will not include anyone who was simply a FA to end last year. However, all guys on Fantrax are certainly up for bidding.

In terms of dates, I sent PM but this was a few days before you joined so see below:


1. RFA - Tuesday July 9th, 12pm EST to Monday July 29th 12pm EST 

After the 29th, no more bids can be started but all open bids can continue as long as needed. 

All RFAs not posted will enter regular FA pool.

2. Draft -  Friday July 26th until complete 

I asssume should be around 2 weeks give or take a few days.

Small overlap with RFA but I feel around this point RFA will die down and with so much time 20 day RFA period seems reasonable.

3. Regular FA - Friday August 9th 12pm EST.

Must we slot our new players, or can we organize our roster at the end of FA before the season starts?

Anytime before season starts is ok it's pretty irrelevant until then. For now if not specified I am placing most guys on active roster if there is room.

However, while offseason moves have no cost, keep in mind we have a 30m budget that kicks in once season starts.

Please load awarded RFA on fantrax and spreadsheet.  Thank You!

Nuggets looking to package 36 and 39 together to move up in the 2nd round (however little distance they may net me).

Throwing this out there for a slight tweak:

Thoughts on

A) More teams getting a 1st Round Bye in Playoffs (ie. Top-2 in each conference?)
B) Fewer teams make the playoffs


With B, just an idea, but throwing it out there to the league to see if we like having most teams make playoffs and see what happens, or do we want to reward the better teams throughout the season by not having as many playoff teams, and therefor a week less of playoff match-ups where anything can happen in a weekly match-up.

A) personally I am not a fan of more than 1 bye per a confrence but open to getting a vote on this

B) I think removing 2 teams is a good idea but maybe others like it as is. If we do remove I would say keep 4 wildcards and do top 4 instead of 5 per confrence. Again can get a vote on this.

Of course neither change would happen this year either way.

Agree with Vik!
