Couple things to button up before the draft, that came up in discussions.
1. You can draft Euro/DLeague guys in the player draft, but know we are planning on doing an optional 1 round draft shortly before the season when those rosters get set, to give guys the chance to fill those spots.
2. IF you decide to use a pick in this draft on one of those guys they will be on your active roster, but before the season starts you can move them to the Euro/DLeague spot and the salary hit be taken off your cap hit
Questions feel free to ask

Emanuel Terry (DAL-F) $0m (Spring Invite) Ok, he still gets the minimum $1 million, along with McLaughlin, which I forgot to mention with that pick as I was focusing on updating rosters

Okay. But the rules say we use real life contracts. $1 million is the minimum bid for free agents. We are not bidding on free agents right now.

That league uses “real life contracts” as well but in the spirit of simplicity and streamlining the minimum salary is just .5 million for initial bids, pre-arb players, etc. Here the minimum salary will be $1 million. We will make sure to add a third rule to the rule book that clarifies. It had been discussed previously but we forgot to add it to the official rules. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Bidding for free agents is different than the initial draft. In DBL we have the free agent draft each year where you draft players and take on their salaries - regardless of the amount of the salary. There is no set minimum. What is being discussed above is bidding on free agents. We aren't bidding on free agents. So if a new rule is simply being imposed, okay. But the Rule Book does not prevent non-rostered players from being selected in the draft, and there is no rule about a $1 million dollar minimum as applied to the initial draft.

That is true, it isn’t in the rulebook and I take responsibility for that. I failed to put it in the rule book even though it was discussed and should have been put in the rule book, I just missed it when I updated the other FA stuff. I apologize for that. Both your last two picks are valid, but will carry $1 million contracts as it will be a lot simpler to have the minimum contract for EVERY player start at $1 million
