Hmm, it seems i'm in the minority here. My thought was drafted players this year would be draft eligible. Seeing the feedback and comments has my mind changed and anyone who is "Rookie Eligible" by NBA standards will be allowed to be drafted. Since the draft happens on the forums we'll have the opportunity to monitor this easily. So in this instance i'm making it official that guys like Dario Saric are in the draft pool.
Spurs, i have thought about opening it up to free agents as well. The challenge there is a clear list of who's available. Reavers brought up the idea of a separate FA draft after our rosters are set. At some point we'll all need to make cuts in order to get down to the 17 required players. That to me would be a better time to allow teams to add FA. Still need to think that one through a bit.....

Imo spurs champs has the best solution because it solves the Sarik conundrum and accomplishes what expendables wants to achieve without the added problem of having an added free-agent draft after the rookie draft... After all, that additional free-agent draft to me seems like it would be a single round of maybe two or three people Who didn't want to use their pics in the rookie draft, maybe a few more… arguably not enough to deal with if avoidable. ttthis way whether you see sarik as a legitimate rookie or not he is available to draft. If you don't want to pick a rookie you can pick a free-agent or use that pic to re select One of the players on your team that you were planning to cut. Which I guess to me brings up the question of when in this process do we have to declare who we are cutting from the team to make room for the drafted players? I think for the sake of easiness The selection we each make on what players don't make the cut as keepers should come after the rookie draft instead of before. (in fact, since those players won't be usable until next season anyway it would be proper not to have to make those two cuts announced until keeper finalization lists are turned in. That seems counterintuitive but I think it works out correctly if you think of your outgoing players as restricted free agents (restricted in the sense that they are not available for other teams to draft, giving their owners The exclusive right on whether to use a rookie pick to re-sign them or not.) i'm sure it's a lot simpler than I make it sound.
So the time line would go kind of as follows… 1. We conduct the rookie/fa draft. 2. Then there is a period of time that goes up to keeper finalization deadline where teams are free to trade. 3. Keeper finalization deadline, that's when those cuts are made and those players go into the upcoming free-agent list. At that point, if you want, you can cut one of the rookie/fa draftees and instead keep a veteran that was already on your team. As long as everybody is down to 17 players turned in then who cares how many assets they are holding onto before that point. Oddities in roster size in the off-season will happen because of off-season trades, that's why we have the keeper finalization deadline to make sure roster sizes are correct at the right time going into the season.

One more thing… On the issue of having a clear list of what free agents are available, I am still able to go to our league page and look at my team and look at the list of free agents that are not on anybody's team, so wouldn't that be what we go by? It is minus this years incoming rookies of course, but just about everybody else is in there.
