The problem with the 57 mill is not that it can't work or be fun, but I think it's preventing people from signing up. They see the same teams with the same players being entered because the cap is too high and decide to pass. I have a competitive team built at less than 50M and I have waaaaaayyy to much of everything. The only way 57 could work is if you could select one player from the blacklist, then you could easily justify it and have a large variance in teams. Good luck, hope it fills.

This.

Lower caps have more diversity, and that is way more important to most owners than having a plan B.

I'm having deja vu.

Yeah. I might be in at 52m, but 57 seems way excessive given the quantity of quality that is off the board.

I don't know. Given the resistance some people show to a draft league at 57 mil or any other format at higher cap which will ensure all teams will be different, I suspect that some owners want lower caps simply to enjoy seeing many teams crash and burn due to not having enough of something, or not managing the team every day properly. In my opinion, the WINNING teams in lower cap leagues are mostly similar and without much diversity. Though there are some owners that tries wild new ideas and player-season combo to build a winning team, majority of "winning" owners are actually behaving like a kin of a single "uber-owner", as you can often see 4 teams in the conference finals having mostly the same players in lower cap league that does not force owners to have their own unique players. There are several experiment ideas I never had the chance to try due to the cap restriction. If you want to make 48 million dollar cap league version of similar league, please go ahead. I won't cry copyright violation or idea stealing because of it, and will enter a team in such league if you make one.

I thought of the "plan B" team-building strategy myself after I posted my last comment.

I haven't played a theme league in many years. I'm used to the $42 million cap and trying to fill out minutes (with strategic gaps for rookies) and having a good distribution of usage. But this league is different, and I get it. Building my team was actually more challenging with the higher cap, either with the "plan B" option or just not trying to have TOO MUCH in terms of extra minutes. I guess there's nothing wrong with high usage, but you have to watch that you're not dragging too much usage away from your most efficient players.. Like I said, CHALLENGING!

I think my team is finally set. I think the league will be fun, even though I do understand the people who would prefer a lower cap. Good luck!

I have created a 50 million dollar version of the league as well. Please consider joining there if the salary cap is more to your liking,

NBA 59598 <- League number.

Cool. I'm in at that cap. Thank you for taking our thoughts into consideration. :-)

Of course I'd be happy to see anything fill at this point.

I hope both can fill soon.

Is this league full? If not, I'd like to get in.

I dont think so - you can check by trying to load the league in draft center

It isn't. Please join

I jumped ship to the $50m league... And maglor1 has the only other team. I like the lower cap better, but I was hoping there'd be more teams there, given all the comments here.

I appreciate what you're trying to do here, maglor1.

Ever since you left the %50m league, no one else joined. Therefore, I have disbanded the $50 mil league.

how many people do we have so far?
