Keepers
Yeah, you pick up to four guys to keep. The rest go back into the pool. We're doing the live auction draft again. Everyone will get the same amount of fantasy money except for every keeper used you'll pay $25 of that cash. What this will do is reward the current managers but not make the handicap against newcomers too great to overcome. All managers who elect to keep four will essentially start out with $100 while newcomers will start out with $200 and will probably end up having to overpay to get stars.
Example: My total cash for draft day is $200 but...
Cash $200
Less: $25 for D12
Less: $25 for Rajon Rondo
Less: $25 for Aldridge
----------------------------------
Draft day cash available: $125
Here's the kicker. If you look at the draft results from the current year somewhere in the late 30's the draft costs dip below $25/player. So technically you're probably going to overpay for that third or fourth keeper. However, on the flip side if you're keeping a guy like Kevin Durant, who was purchased for $90, then you've saved $65 on that player alone.
Example: Below are the prices paid for my keepers on last draft day and the gain or loss due to keeping them.
D12
Purchased @ $59
Kept @ $25
Gain: $34
Rondo:
Purchased @ $46
Kept @ $25
Gain: $21
Aldridge:
Purchased @ $19
Kept @ $25
Loss: $6
I don't know if I have a guy on roster after Aldridge who would go for $25 or more so that last pick is tough... I'll probably let it go as is.
