Anyone down for an all-time draft?

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents;14936049]Starting 5 only, if the majority really wants a bench, maybe we could stretch it to 7-8 spots[/QUOTE]

Only drafting 5 is kinda odd to me. Would be nice to have a team with a rotation.

Alright, so before we start, I just want to make sure we're on the same page with the game.

Only 80's players and beyond
No Jordan/LeBron
8 players for each team

Anyone object or have any other suggestions?

I would personally start at 1977 which is the NBA merger, but won't fight over it. 80's is cool, if we go just 80's to present, what if someone peaked in the 70's and played in the 80's past their prime? If a poster picks a player that I described, do they have to specify the year of the player they are drafting post 1980? This is why I like the merger idea. It's nice time frame where all the 60's players were retired so they can't be drafted.

if y'all need 1 more, i'll join

Are we still doing this?

[QUOTE]Only 1 MVP/FMVP per roster
Only two players who have ever made All-NBA
The rest must be players who have never been All-NBA[/QUOTE]

edit: and the whole 80's and beyond this, does this mean for someone like KAJ? Do we get his 80's version even though he was better in the 70's?

When that happens, they'd have to play the post 1980's version of that player. Let's say they pick Walt Frazier, they are not getting the prime version of him, they'd be getting the guy who played 27 minutes and averaged 3 ppg in 1980.

It's only a 3 year difference so I honestly wouldn't care either way, I just went with 1980 because that was when they implemented the 3 point line, so we wouldn't have to worry about hypothesizing how an older player would play with one, plus I just figured it was easier to start with a brand new decade.

Personally, I think that's a really good idea, we'd have to be extremely selective on who we'd choose with only one MVP level talent. Plus we'd be selecting players that rarely get picked, which I felt would make things interesting. But there seemed to be some pushback on that, so if everyone else isn't on board, we don't have to do that.

I'd vote for that too, let's see what everyone else thinks.

I can see a poster making mistakes following those rules, then that poster would get mad and rage quit when he is penalized for it. :lol

But 1980-present sounds good to me.

In that case though you'd "only" be getting the rookie version of him, personally, there are a few non MVP guys I'd likely take over him.

I say let's stick with this and get it started

I wish there was a good sim program. Sobe I know you don’t fux with me, but I’d probably be down if there was some end game. Not sure what it would be. You put the teams as a poll and run a playoff or something?

Hmm. O well, I’ll watch.
