Starting 2 New Leagues: Dynasty Cap League + "Inverse" Fantasy NBA
You can partecipate for one or both leagues:
1. 👑 FantaNBA Dynasty (Salary Cap & Contracts)
A deep, realistic GM-style dynasty setup built to last:
● Platform: ESPN Fantasy (with contract/cap management via Excel managed by the LM).
● Format: H2H Weekly Points. We will use a custom scoring system that I have personally developed and fine-tuned over the last 10 years. It’s specifically designed to measure a player's real-life impact on winning a basketball game as accurately and realistically as possible.
● Size: 10–16 teams.
● Roster Structure: 15 active spots + 2 IR + 3 "Parking/Taxi" spots (for inactive/stashed players).
● Initial Auction & Cap: 150m budget with contract tiers (1 to 5 years).
● Extensions & Dead Money: Player values scale up with real-life NBA awards (MVP, DPOY, All-NBA, etc.). Waiving players results in dead money charges on the cap.
● Rookie Draft & Trades: Annual Rookie Draft with lottery odds (anti-tanking mechanics). Pick trading follows the Stepien Rule.
● Buy-in / Prize Pool: TBD / Optional. It can be played for bragging rights and pride (Free), or with a small entry fee (e.g., €20 / ~$20) if the majority prefers a prize pool and a Dynasty Jackpot. The league members will vote on this before starting!
2. 🔄 "Inverse" Fantasy NBA (Reverse League Concept)
A unique, custom strategy mode where the rules are completely flipped:
● The Goal: Score the FEWEST points possible.
● Every active player MUST play actual real-life minutes (no hoarding injured, DNP, or out-of-rotation players to get a free 0!).
● Requires a totally inverted drafting and lineup management strategy.
Right now, we are a group of Italian fantasy basketball players building this project, but whether you're local or international, everyone is welcome.
